Chisoxfn Posted August 9, 2005 Share Posted August 9, 2005 QUOTE(Rex Hudler @ Aug 8, 2005 -> 03:14 PM) Fastball, curveball and change from what I can tell. I don't see him enough these days to know if he has added a cut fastball. Ya, he throws a cutter. He considers it a big reason for his improvement this season.

I'll have to watch him a little closer next time. The last time I saw him, he didn't need a cutter as he was blowing fastballs right by Johnny Damon.

AddisonStSox Posted August 10, 2005 Share Posted August 10, 2005 Is it just me or is bunting nearly impossible. I swear to you, I can't get a bunt down to save my life. They pull the bat back the second the ball gets to the plate. Despite being something like 39-5 on All-Star--or whatever is above pro--difficulty, I can't lay the f'ing bunt down.

What is the key?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It took me awhile to get a hang of it, but with Pierre and Castillo (I did a fantasy draft) I can pretty much get a bunt single whenever I want.

Rex Hudler Posted August 11, 2005 Share Posted August 11, 2005 I can't bunt worth a crap either (could with no probs on 2004) but my buddy who I play most games with drops at least one bunt for a hit on me every time we play. asshole! Hit like a man, I say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hell, Pierzynski can get a bunt hit all day, haha. The annoying thing is the fact that when you try to lay down a sac bunt to move runners over, it ALWAYS results in a foul ball... big mistake.

You gotta time it right and just tap the button. I was having the same problem that you and Mike were having. It's hard. I still haven't done it very well, but I know how to do it -- I just suck at it. Plus, you KNOW that I imply Oakland rules to my team -- f*** bunting!

I bunt all the time with Pods and Willie and am very successful with it. you need to aim with the left analog, as well as bunt with the right. you want to wait until the ball gets the closest to the plate without missing it completely. You gotta just slap at it, with a quick tap. it is kinda hard to explain it with text, and over the net but i hope i at least helped out a little bit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
