I'm bad about doing this...I am using Psycho's sliders so I get more balls thrown by the computer, but I can't help swinging at everything since I haven't played in probably a month or so. Anyone else have this problem? (I'm using Braves in franchise mode).

I haven't played for a while...trying to hold out for Knight's rosters. I had trouble chasing sliders away and good curves in the dirt...i expect that to continue.

It doesn't matter with me. I'm a windmill up there. My lack of plate discipline is the reason I lead the league in stranded runners every season I play ( I assume this, b/c there is NO way any team could possibly have more than me).

I chase curveballs low in the dirt and mostly any fastball that isn't outside or really high. I find myself always chasing the high heat.

I, too, like the high ones.....can't hit'em either. I'm like Kit Keller out there. Sorry for the League of Their Own reference, it's a guilty pleasure of mine.

That's why I take at least 2 pitches(depending on the count afterward) when I start a game until at least the first time through the line up.

Batting practice. On one session, just look, and only look, at every pitch. While you are looking at those pitches visualize at which point you should swing, or not swing due to location of the pitch.

On the second session, swing away but only at the ones you like best or feel that you could hit the best. For me is the low fastball in the zone. Love those. This has improved my eye and timing.
Hope it helps.
