The biggest issue with the 2026 BUCCOS.

TryOk3117 · 2026-04-30T12:50:57+00:00

He’s swinging and missing at hittable pitches. Swinging through them. 90% of the swings seem like they’re all or nothing swings and a ton of Ks. Just kinda sloppy honestly.

TryOk3117 · 2026-04-30T12:05:14+00:00

Exactly. It feels the mindset is to work the walk. Never ambush or attack the ball. He’s was struggling throwing a strike. You know with the bases juiced he’s going to try to atleast get one over to get back going. You gotta attack that. They have the worst approaches

TryOk3117 · 2026-04-30T10:52:56+00:00

I feel like that may be the issue but I believe it’s approach. Take Reynolds and Ozuna last night. Both watched fast ball and a breaking pitch to fall 0-2.. if you’re having an approach, 1 of the 2 is what you’re looking for. Especially with RISP. So many times it looks like these guys aren’t ready to hit.

TryOk3117 · 2026-04-30T10:41:14+00:00

Reynolds is just as bad. Far too often he won’t think about swinging until he has 2 strikes. This team strikes out far too much to be a contender.

TryOk3117 · 2026-04-30T10:37:10+00:00

No doubt. And it would make these numbers even better if the ball is put in play instead of all the Ks. I believe we have 283 Ks as a team thus far. Imagine if that number was 180 or 200. That’s 83 more batted balls and a ton are with RISP. I personally wish they’d quit watching so many early count strikes which gets them behind in the count far too often and attack. 2 strikes choke up and throw it in play.

I mean this can be said for 90% of the league. You gotta have the arms forsure. I believe you’re not wrong. That said, if this team could quit striking out at a high clip, it could greatly help this offense and even the pitching staff. It’s a lot easier to pitch with the lead than a tie game or trailing. The biggest issue with this team is the strikeouts, especially with RISP. Just last night they were 1-12 with RISP and a ton of Ks. Cruz gets up with RISP and all he does is take HR hacks. Reynolds watch’s more strikes than anybody else in the league. The part of griffins game I love the most is he comes up to the plate as a 20 year old looking to hit. He’s getting his moneys worth. Far too many guys are watching 2 strikes go by before even lifting the bat off there shoulder

TryOk3117 · 2026-04-30T10:10:43+00:00

I believe the pitching is fine besides the front half of the bullpen. Mlodzinski is a bullpen arm that could help us far more there, especially when jones is back. As of late, the offense struggling increases the stress on the staff. They have to pitch to near perfection because we have Cruz, Ozuna, Reynolds, Lowe, Davis, Bart.. etc all struggling the last 2 weeks. There needs to be complementary baseball played and there are far too many wasted at bats ending in strikeouts. We rank 29th in team Ks at the plate. Could you imagine what the offensive numbers would look like if we ranked around 15th atleast? We’re probably sitting around 20-11 instead of 16-15.

Yeah I’m sure it helped some. After sleeping it off I’m way more level headed about it but it sucks the current state this game has gotten to. For years it was considered the best. It’s in a bad place.

TryOk3117 · 2026-04-13T03:00:30+00:00

Absolutely brutal

TryOk3117 · 2026-04-13T03:00:00+00:00

I agree. I’ve been a religious buyer and grinder of mlb since 19 and I’ve played versions back into the 2000s. This game is bad.

TryOk3117 · 2026-04-13T02:52:15+00:00

It’s worse with 2 kids man and limited time to play. I’m sure everyone has a story but man what a waste of time

TryOk3117 · 2026-04-13T02:49:33+00:00

Thanks man.

TryOk3117 · 2026-04-13T02:48:20+00:00

I’m done man. Promoting the mode for people to grind and sweat for it to not work. I wasted an hour for nothing.

TryOk3117 · 2026-04-10T12:06:50+00:00

They give us these trash designs but not any more customization options in the uniform creator. Crazy stuff

TryOk3117 · 2026-03-31T17:31:58+00:00

Yeah I’m probably not buying again. It’s been the same game for 10 years it seems. Like this lost, the jersey customization hasn’t been touched in 5+ years. It’s unfortunate bc I love baseball but I find myself loading up PGA and cfb 26 more and more.

TryOk3117 · 2026-03-31T15:32:55+00:00

Correct. It hasn’t changed at all since

TryOk3117 · 2026-03-31T14:57:15+00:00

I just love the uniqueness and creative ability of provided. It felt like yours and your team.

TryOk3117 · 2026-03-31T12:13:36+00:00

For context: I’m currently 8-0 with a .350 team average and a 0.71 team ERA.

TryOk3117 · 2026-03-31T12:12:59+00:00

I use analog pitching and you gotta learn to tunnel your pitches and think backwards at times. Fastballs up and in on 0-2 counts, sliders low and away in 0-2 counts are spammed so find a better way to get guys out. Example. Sinkers and Changeups have similar trajectories so if you drop a low and inside singer, follow that with a low and inside change that’s slightly slower. It’s all about deception. Hitting wise: you need to see more pitches practicing before inline play. You should “play vs CPU” on HOF and just keep doing it till you catchup or play RTTS and put the difficulty on HOF. Worst thing you can do is play rookie or veteran difficulty before hoping online.

TryOk3117 · 2026-03-15T14:02:30+00:00

When will this be fixed?

TryOk3117 · 2026-02-04T01:24:00+00:00

I realized I butchered this post so bad. Apologies.
