My controller should be here in a week.  Then I'm in.  Playing with the keyboard sucks donkey dick.

If you're talking about the RetroZone controller then you'll be VERY satisfied once it gets here...it's awesome.

Lemme know when your controller comes in and I'll fknmcpractice curve with you!

[poolstroke72]

   Yes absolutely no sinkers , that's for curve ballers. You have to be able to throw slow pitches and fastballs to make it a little challenge for all of us. Moving on the mound does not make any sense, that also fits in the category of curve ballers. Hope to see this league take off.

How do you differentiate a slow pitch and sinker?

I have to assume he calls a regular pitch, a slow pitch

That's the plan, JoeD.  I'm gonna practice for months...and then probably get my ass beat in your tourney.

I never understood why you guys refer to "up + A" as a slow ball or a sinker (I know I've heard other names, too)...isn't that a knuckle?  No pitch moves the way that pitch does--except the knuckle.

[BeefMaster]

According to the manual, it's a sinkerball if it drops and a knuckleball if it doesn't.  It also says that the knuckleball will wobble more... does anyone know whether the presence of wobble is a tipoff to whether the ball will drop?  I can't say that I've noticed, but it would be a valuable discovery.

[JoeDirt]

Yeah, I knew the manual says that.  I guess that does explain why Mike Scott has such a killer knuckleball.  

I must say, though, I know of no difference in wobble between the knuckle and sinker.

...also, a sinker doesn't move like that AND a knuckle does drop, if thrown correctly.

[Gantry]

I can't speak for everyone but I think of up+A as a slowball because the ball goes slower (smiley)

Do others refer to a normal "A" pitch as a slowball?  So much nomenclature, so little time...

[BeefMaster]

I call the up-A pitch a slowball; that way, it covers both knuckle and sinker.  I also think I've heard it called a forkball, although this might be from another game (either the sequels or Baseball Simulator 1.000).

[fknmclane]

There's a pitch...pressing nothing but A.

There's a fastball...pressing down and A.

Then there's a changeup/knuckler/sinker/forkball/splooge or whatever...pressing up and A.

[poolstroke72]

   A change-up is just the  "A" button.
  A fastball is the "A" button and down.
  Those are the only 2 pitches you can throw in straight pitch. Only my opinion though. "A" plus the up button is not allowed, whether it's called a knuckler or sinker.

[Darky]

pressing A is like a two seam fastball but no movement.
down and A is a four seam fastball.
up and A is a change up with  dropping movement or no dropping movement. Mike Scott always has the dropping movement.

[poolstroke72]

   Let me clarify this once and for all, the "A" and down is a fastball, and just the "A" button is a off speed pitch.

[nightwulf]

As far as the game is concerned, pitches with just "A" are curveballs. Whether you actually curve the ball or not is irrelevant.

[Gantry]

If that is true, then do all pitchers have the same break on their fastballs?  I would say not, but perhaps I'm reading your post the wrong way...

[poolstroke72]

     Yeah, look what happened it's 3-0 me and you do not want to play anymore. What happened to the secret. No biggy, you beat me fair and square. I just know now that we have the same team rom it's more even. You cannot win with even teams.

[poolstroke72]

  LOL LOl   I'm dying over here, that's why I wrote you , I knew you would post it. LOL, just like our bet of with series. The bet was whoever loses series post the other player is the best.
