Industry Center Stadium

Out of the 7 new Minor League ballparks that were released with MLB 13 The Show I'm enjoying Industry Center Stadium the most.  This ballpark is really big with a lot of different fence heights.  The power alley in right center is sort of like AT&T park but is much more expansive.

Unfortunately, our game ended early due to Traffic Delay and both teams were awarded rating points (Double Wins).  These are games that used to disappear.

Of the 3 innings that we did get to play nomo17k threw a lot of breaking balls.  I don't recall seeing very many fast balls.

nomo17k did me in with his basestealing skills.  He takes a one step lead and then takes off with early steals when the opportunity arises.  I probably should have paid more attention to his baserunners but didn't.

Recycling for Robinson Cano

I finally got Robinson Cano via the recycler.  This allowed me to complete two 10M collections.  This is what I recycled to get Cano:

Anthony Rizzo : 84, Ben Zobrist : 89, Ian Desmond : 84

I really had a good recycling/pack pulling night last night.  I bought several 6 card MLB pitcher packs.  I recycled all relief pitchers until I received an A- to A+ relief pitcher.  Than, I recycled him with a b- to b+ type position player.  I got a couple Miguel Cabrera's.

Also also landed Jeff Bianchi of the Brewers via 6 card pack.  He probably easily could go for about 15M in the marketplace.

He was a patient hitter but I also had problems controlling my breaking balls.  While trying to correct my breaking ball control I tended to locate too many balls low in the zone.  EazyMackaDocious noticed this and started sitting on my low stuff.  You can get him out if you locate the ball in the upper strike zone but this may not last very long as EazyMackaDocious is likely to adjust.

The two run home run in the 3rd inning did me in.  I threw a fastball that meant to be a high fastball (out of the strike zone) but it went right down the middle.  The pitcher I was using had 60 control on the FSFB.  You really got to be careful where you locate fastballs early in the game.

This gamer seems to mess with the network connection.  After the ball is pitched there will be some stutter.  It's impossible to make contact.  Every now and then the same lag will occur when you are trying to field a ball.

He also uses R.A. Dickey every game.  I found success hitting against R.A. Dickey when I influence up and power swing.

This user also seems to try to find games where the DH rule will be used.  When he's the home team (Polo Grounds), the ball marker will be off when you are pitching.
