So get this:
I've tried to play some ranked online DD games today, but for 3 straight games I went up against all lefties with speed. Then my opponent would bunt cheese his way around the bases & steal constantly. I am wondering if I am the only player that this happens to this often? Or is this really what Diamond Dynasty has come to??

You have to play bunt defense, and move the 2nd baseman in to avoid cheesers. Sad, but it is what it is.

You're not alone!

Just throw breaking balls and changeups in the dirt. That's what I did and it worked brilliantly.

I've seen a team like that but only 1 in around 100 games. Lots of players bunt cheese with their fast players but I've only seen 1 team constructed with ALL fast players where they only bunted.

I laugh to myself when I face someone with all lefty bats in the lineup. Just shows me they can't hit for ****. It's annoying Bc it's a little more challenging pitching to all lefties all the time with a righty pitcher but if I can get through 5 without giving up much I'll put one of my lefty pen guys in and watch them switch all their hitters for an inning or two and blow their bench then go right back to righties to close it out.

People who bunt cheese hit a skill cap. If you can push through the cheese, your rating will get you above those players, leaving them to bunt against each other.

I think I got lucky and mostly played against genuine players, and my rating seems to have stabilized in a good place.

If you can't beat the bunt cheese, let them mercy you, shake it off, and get back at it!

It's annoying to set to defend bunt against EVERY batter but yeah, those guys can be pretty easily beaten if you just do that. It really exposes how sorry they are with everything else in the game. Occasionally you'll have a ball hit to a place where the 1B/3B should be but won't be enough to beat you over the course of 9 innings.
