Maybe it doesn't happen as much in the pros, but man in AA ball any pitch in the dirt basically results in the runners advancing and it's driving me insane. I just had a ball in the dirt get missed by the catcher and the 55 speed guy on 2nd takes off and makes it despite the ball being literally right in front of the catcher.

Also, yes the 'wild pitches' continue to suck at the MLB level. Nothing like a 30 speed pitcher taking 2nd on a ball that bounces a few inches in front of the catcher after crossing the plate which the catcher blocks and the ball never gets in front of the plate or outside of the batters box. Like seriously, I'm talking about balls that don't move more than about a foot from the catcher. But still everyone and their mother will take the next base. I thought I made a few video clips last night while playing but I can't find them, so I'll have to try again the next time I play.

I found the videos and uploaded them. All of these runners have ~50 speed iirc. The runner in the 2nd video might be faster, but thought the 75 speed guy was in a video I didn't upload. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2DnuYg-Psw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IHYtZ9Ci39w https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w0tQHORUzio These are bullshit wild pitches. I don't think anyone but the fastest people would even attempt to move on these pitches in real life.

Twin Cinema posted:My pitcher has now been traded twice. I was drafted by the Rays, traded to the A's in late June, then traded to the White Sox in late July. I assume this all happens randomly. Yeah I think being traded is just random and based on team needs. It happens. You should eventually get used to the sliders. I use the dynamic sliders for my RTTS starting pitcher who is in his second full year and in the Twins starting lineup. I bounce between Legendary/Legendary+ and I usually get 5-6IP (I usually think I get pulled too early) with usually between 4-8 Ks, a few hits and a run or two. Occasionally, there's the bad game where everything blows up. edit - Also, I love my current pitch selection of 98mph 4-seamer, 81mph screwball, 88mph splitter and 79mph sweeping curve. It's just brutal on everyone. The fastball keeps people jumpy, the splitter works as a good change of speed and you've got a breaking ball that moves towards each side of the plate.
