Fantasy League "Straight Pitch" Pitching

[Stock]

My vote is for Straight pitch (press "A" only); no fast/slowballs  Don't really have a preference if you want to move your pitcher around on the mound or not, but voted for "middle of mound".

Personally I think this is best for Network Play as there are less foul balls.  (I intend to play this as a drinking game, so I want more home runs anyway )

[Baines]

I voted middle of the mound with fastballs and changeups only just because that's how we always play but I'm open to anything.  Not a big fan of slowballs though.

Me neither.

I voted anywhere on mound, any straight pitch, but mind either way.   Whatever you guys want to do is okay with me. 

[Ryno23]

voted anywhere, any straight pitch.

I figure if you screw around and foul off 2 pitches, your punishment should be the ol' knuckler. . . .to swing or not to swing. . . .

Anywhere...
Any straight pitch...

I think you should suck it up on the knucklers.  If I want to throw all knuckles, can't you figure out that it's coming and keep the bat on your shoulder?  You do that a few times and I'll probably think twice about tiring my pitcher so easily.

The Knucklers have it?  My only concern was with the lag.  I played Lips online last week, and I literally had to push the "A" button before the ball left the pitcher's hand.  Let's hope there will be less of a lag.  I think there might have been something wrong with the server too.

The rules will be any Straight pitch.  (ie no pushing left our right while pitching.)

[Ryno23]

I'm flexible.  No knucklers would be fine.

I don't think there is a problem throwing "no knucklers" if both teams agree to it before hand.

However, if there is a difference in opinion, the Knuckers have it.

This should be a friendly league.  No money, no blood!  (yet, at least )

Are you threatening me?

[Stock]

I need TP for my bung-hole.

[JoeDirt]

There should be a post on this page (or the other thread) that is continually updated with the latest version of the rosters...sheesh--you're no fightonusc, are you?

Nails has started another thread for this.

A little late for the topic, but I personally don't mind what we do.  I really don't think you should be able to throw 2-strike knucklers, to me that diminishes the purpose of straight pitch by adding strikeouts.  My 2 cents...

[JoeDirt]

isn't that what you get, though, if you are lame enough to go to 2 strikes in straight pitch?  remember, this isn't the drinking rules...

[Nails]

As Stock said, these kind of details can be agreed upon between players before each individual game.

[Gantry]

Good point, we typically take pitches and foul off alot.  Can you pull off an IBB with 4 slowballs?
