Mezza76 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Santana for sure - although i have enormous trouble with lefties full stop...dont have anywhere near the same success against them as opposed to righties. Lost to David Wells in Game 7 of the the WS one year... never forgot that one either...(another lefty). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GEOLINK Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Wakefield, on the PS2 and the PC. Man I cannot hit that darn knuckle he throws, its the movement of the pitch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmexico Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I can't hit any knuckle baller from Bruce Canton to Tim Wakefield. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernetic Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 That guy who was the closer for the White Sox last year.. the Japanese guy.. before Jenks became the closer or Hermanson.. I forget his name.. I couldn't hit off that guy at all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ronmexico Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Shingo Takatsu...throwin his 64 mph changes and curves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeppelin99 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Well I have to join in with the majority and say Wakefield. Pedro isn't that fun either since he's stacked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernetic Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Shingo Takatsu...throwin his 64 mph changes and curves. yeah that guy.. I couldn't hit him at all with those off-speed stuff. The only way I managed to have any success off him was his fastball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruecu Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Wakefield obviously, then Harden from the A's. For some reason, there's an unrealistic 30 mph difference in his fastball and changeup in the game. Foulke is hard sometimes because he hides the ball so well.. Zito, on the other hand, is the easiest for me because he tips his pitches way early and he's a lefty..David Wells also for the same reason I don't face too many NL pitchers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
angryrat Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 this will probably sound stupid.... I just played against Gil Meche of the Mariners tonight in my White Sox dynasty and I couldn't touch his Knucklecurve, even when I saw it coming. It was so F!!!!!!! frustrating. I saw the red ball coming my way... and I would wiff. Lost 4-2. Got 2 off the bullpen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernetic Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I've never faced Meche myself.. I rock Foulke quite often Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turma Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Submarine pitchers... I hate facing them, especially when used as relievers. I also hate Min-Wang's and Arroyo's release, which give some trouble at times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernetic Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Yeah Wang and his really slow delivery get annoying but when he's from the stretch I have no problem hitting him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turma Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Yea, only his windup delivery. Also Schmidt's fastballs with his furious delivery can get frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Totte Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Also it seems for some reason any submarine type pitcher gives me trouble just because of the weird arm angle and rising pitches. Couldn't agree more :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cybernetic Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Yea, only his windup delivery. Also Schmidt's fastballs with his furious delivery can get frustrating. I haven't faced him playing in the AL East Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turma Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 I remember Josh Beckett having the same release as Schmidt in the newest UR's. It's not difficult for me always, it's just pretty quick and the fastballs can get a bit fast, since I've highered the pitch speed slider to make fastballs tougher for me as well.

rambo Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 Derek Lowe, I hate his wind up, he just pitched a 2-hitter against me, and i don't think i've ever beaten him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
habs0 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 for me, wakefield and willis i hate wakefield's knuckle that make me wait to swing right time but i missed it or too early. twice i face him and i tried first a few innings then maybe 5th inning i start rally to beat him twice however i am glad that i able steal the base when wakefield start to pitch willis i face him three times and got three loss against willis... whew!

Klesko174 Posted August 25, 2006 Share Posted August 25, 2006 repeating many of the pitchers already mentioned: wakefield, takatsu. but the guy who really gives me problems is jeff nelson and his stretch, zach greinke gives me some trouble with his 59mph curve.

hello Posted August 27, 2006 Share Posted August 27, 2006 Tim Wakefield, but only for a little bit, as soon as i get used to him I can usually hit him. I know the Knuckler is coming but i just cant wait long enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
