How to get a team out of a batting slump?
 
What's a sure fire way to immediately get your team out of a batting slump?

I've heard there's a way to do this?
Any OOTP veterans have a tip or trick?

Get better batters.

Edit the ratings of your hitting coach. :cool:

no one? i could use some help here! :flowers:

Just be patient,,remember its a probability thing and they will eventually hit. There are no human head cases in the game. :)

why i'm so insistent is that this is a trivia question for a 500k reward for the winning GM's franchise if he can answer that question.

:happy:

I think the only two ways to affect a teams hitting is in manager mode with the manager can affect hitting a little or a little more or with the hitting coach. What else is there? There is no training mode in the game.

johnd24_42 05-12-2006 05:39 PM

true, and our league doesn't use coaches.

the only other thing i can think of (besides getting better hitters) is adjusting the settings of preferences in offense?

I find that my batters hit way better when I wear my lucky green socks. :2cents:

ymmv

johnd24_42 05-12-2006 05:45 PM

that could certainly be one part of the equation.

but the second?

I can confirm this. My batters all hit like Babe Ruth on steroids when treedom wears his green socks. :2cents:

ymmv

You could skip batting practice. You might laugh, but it worked for Buddy Bell's Royals who scored 10 or more runs in the last 3 games after that...

actually I think it had more to do with facing the cleveland indians pitching at the right time... : )

Change the team name to something other than "Chicago Cubs."

Have you tried batters in different spots in the linup to see if their skills work better in a different batting order?

biggamejrs 05-12-2006 07:47 PM

switch up your batting order.
put your highest obp at the top no matter what
steal more
Hit and run more
bench a starter

I had a coach once who was extreme superstitious. One day, we didn't have time to do an infield before the 1st inning, so we just went out and played. We had been in a slump, but managed to win that one. From that day forward, we stopped fielding any grounders before game time. After a couple weeks, no more wins, and several fielding errors, he gave it up.
