So many strike outs!

I'm getting a little fustrated with this game not going to lie... The middle of my lineup I have Mike Napoli, Nelson Cruz, Troy Tulowitzki, and David Ortiz. They all strike out constantly. Every relief pitcher blows my lead and costs me the game. Starting to feel like this game is a little off. I love it Nd it's a great product and lots of fun but it's just been SO FUSTRATING!

Well, just looking at Mike Napoli's stats for this year, in 13 games he already has 18 strikeouts.

Not sure about the others, but I've found in my games that the strikeout numbers overall tend to be in line with the historical averages.

It may be that your lineup is just suffering from a prolonged spell of ineffectiveness. Do you adjust for R/L splits?

My recommendation is to re-evaluate your lineup and see if you can tweak it by platooning or moving guys up or down the order depending on whether a Righty or Lefty is pitching.

RE: relievers, I have TERRIBLE relievers on my team, so no sympathy for you there.

Yeah I think I may have to fix my lineups or do serious relief pitcher retooling. I blow leads like it's my job and it's cost my sooooo many games! Just so frustrating! Either that or my starting pitchers will have a solid 5-7 no run in in s then drop 3-6 runs in one inning. It's always the extremes! Or they'll have a shutout with 8-10 strikeouts the. **** the bed. Something's gotta get fixed in bean town!!
