TwentySeven Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Guys, I have two quick questions. 1. Is it possible to steal home? What situation can it be done? 2. Is the movement of a cutter like the opposite of that of a slider? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matroska Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 #1 You can take home on a 1st and 3rd situation and when the catcher/pitcher bites on the guy on 1st going to 2nd or when the pitcher is a rookie and isnt as heads up and walks to the mount head down. #2 Not sure.

sh0ck Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 To answer question 2... No a cutter's movement is much like a slider without the downward motion. It's thrown like a fastball and "cuts" 2-3 inches to the left from a right-hander and vice versa for lefties. They'll normally start on the inside half of the plate and end up jamming the hitter. Or some pitchers use a "back-door" slider which starts a few inches off the plate and catches the outside corner for a strike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DustinTheWin Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 I have done a straight out steal at home before, you can do it if you railroad the catcher Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bama Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 same here, how do you railroad the catcher?Push up on the right analog stick at the right time. And a cutter, i think, is just a slower fastball with slider-like horizontal movement. I've always thrown it way inside on an opposite-handed batter because every other situation, the batter crushes the pitch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwentySeven Posted August 5, 2006 Author Share Posted August 5, 2006 Guys I have another question, I know that in real life this is possible, but is it possible in the game for a switch hitter to have a different stance on each side of the plate?

Klesko174 Posted August 5, 2006 Share Posted August 5, 2006 Push up on the right analog stick at the right time. And a cutter, i think, is just a slower fastball with slider-like horizontal movement. I've always thrown it way inside on an opposite-handed batter because every other situation, the batter crushes the pitch. yeah, you push up on the right analog stick about 3 steps from home when the catcher has the ball, it is kinda tough to do when he doesn't have the ball yet or is just ready to get it, i've only done it a few time myself, actually did it last night and absolutely flattened LoDuca with Thome, he held on to the ball though. :?
