OK, I am 2 months into a new career where I am managing each and every game for my team. Time consuming, but it puts a whole new spin on the game for me.

I cannot prove this is an actual bug, but I am convinced the Pitch Around Option does not work propoerly. When I want to pitch around a batter, I am more likely than not going to walk him, or he is going to take some chops at bad pitches. So the results should be many walks, a few strikeouts/pop/ground outs, and a few hits (but basically a lot of walks).

Well, everytime I try to pitch around a batter, he ends up jacking one out of the park, or driving it to the gap for a double.....rarely do they walk......it seems like Pitch around = throw cupcakes down the middle of the plate.

It is so bad that I won't Pitch Around anymore.

Thoughts?
