Hitting up in the box vs Back in the box

[Gantry]

Tettleton for me is pretty rare (once a game) and almost exclusively with righties...

Curve I use it a lot, mostly because I can't hit anything and the tettleton gives you more time to react...

[fknmclane]

I only use the Tettleton (only acceptable name) when I'm up a bunch and wanna talk more shit or if I'm down a bunch and I'm very desperate.

[Gantry]

I too use the Tettleton more with a big lead, just pisses everyone off.  Always fun...

[fknmclane]

It's an extra kick in the nuts.  I always pair it with the line, "Yeah, I don't even need a full swing to kick your ass."

[Flood]

Do you guys find that some players benefit more than others from the Tettleton?  For instance, I think Terence McPendleton hits a lot better with this technique.  Also, pausing the game to set it up is definitely busch league, but I do admire any reference to Jose Oquendo.

always front of the box--and inside-out the ball 90% of the time.  big time triples.

favorite RBI hitter of all-time, no question, Rock Raines.  inside-park hr every game.  but since he is on the NL stars, I suppose that is a cheap choice.

[doveRBI]

he is also my "favorite guy to carry crack onto the playing field" but then again my choices in that category were limited.

[Gantry]

I'm sure Hernandez and Leonard have indulged on the field before, though it isn't committed in print....

Seddrah, who is that girl?
She looks like a star in a porn I saw that gave a blowjob.

I think it's Fiona Apple (hence the "apple" at the beginning of the filename).

[Briznock]

back to the post subject though..... I find that it doesnt matter where i hit in the box.  I will pop out or line drive off the wall with anyone with power.  and if the guy doesnt have good power i will get it back to the pitcher if i am lucky.  

If my opponent is up then i found that it still doesnt matter where they stand.  billy hatcher from the back of the box.... GONE... Billy hatcher from up in the box.... GONE.  It doesnt matter.  
I used to consider myself one of the better curve style pitchers this game has ever seen.... (GoReds may not admit it but i have... well had an S pitch that is second-to-none) but when RBI starts letting my opponent steal my signals and letting everyone including, billy hatcher, to use anabolic steroids i think its time for a new game.... BASEBALL STARS RULES

[BeefMaster]

I'm picturing Briznock giving up a homer to Tommy Herr, then tearing his shirt open, staring up, and yelling, "Why do you hate me?!  WHY??!?"

[Briznock]

Im not good.  At all.  Neither is GoReds.  The only reason he beats me is because the programmers thought itd be funny to make sure that if a nintendo controller read my thumb prints then it would cheat me..... This isnt for RBI only .... Every Game

NINTENDO SUCKS

[fknmclane]

I love that Briznock is beating this into the ground.

[BDawk]

I actually call it the "cocked bat".
As in "I'm going to cock my bat now"
It just sounds funnier.

That dude was funny

[JoeDirt]

We call it a cock around here, too.  Whenever Riley can't cock his bat in time, I like to say that he "couldn't get his cock in."  It's true.

[ultimate7]

I usually hit up in the box, but will move back in the box with 2 strikes or if I'm swinging at bad pitches.  Being backs helps me lay off the bad pitches and I can sometimes tell if a drop pitch will actually drops before I swing

I think next time I play I'm going to stay towards the back of the box

[BDawk]

I only use the Tettleton (only acceptable name)

fuck off dude...I'll call it what I want

[Nacho]

I wonder what would happen if I cocked it with Dick Schofield.

Pics?
