Pretty much the same here. I can destroy anything in the changeup family, with the possible exceptions of V-SLD and KN just because I don't have enough practice with them...
As for curveballs, I have trouble with inside curveballs, but I can hit outside curveballs very well... usually only for singles though...
I'm okay with sliders.
I have a bit of trouble with Sinking Fastballs because I'm not that used to it, but i can handle that.

7/31 - Cubs Turn Up the Heat in July
The Cubs truly did turn up the heat this past month, going 26-0 for the month of July, the second consecutive perfect month this season. The Cubs made a couple of big trades during the month, and the final trades of the season for the Cubs. The Cubs acquired outfielder Matt Kemp from the Dodgers back on July 8th, and in the trade of the century (pun intended), acquiring Tim Lincecum and Matt Cain from the Giants both for left fielder Matt Murton. Hopefully, the Cubs continue their hot streak when they get to the playoffs as they obviously will with a record of 108-0 and a magic number of 9 heading into the month of August. Let's see what they can accomplish this month.

If you are having perfect months, then why are you trading people away?

Oops, 108-1 actually.

I'm trading players away because that's part of the game, and I trade to get low salary players for high salary players, plus when I DO up the difficulty in a couple of seasons, I want a really good team.

8/4 - Lee Returns; Cubs Send Down Fontenot
Cubs first baseman Derrek Lee returns from his stay on the DL today after breaking his collarbone back on July 2nd, more than a month ago. To make room for him back on the roster, the Cubs have sent back down second baseman Mike Fontenot. Lee is expected to make his return playing in tonight's game against the Astros at Wrigley.

Trading is part of the game.... But no team trades away good players when they are doing good, why did you get Pitching? You don't need pitching.... if you're 108-1, then you're already in the playoffs.... Your team is already fine for when you turn the difficulty up....

I just need to up either opposing team's hitting or make pitching for me harder. I may be winning just about every game, but they are actually reasonably scoring games, and I haven't been hitting a ton of homers lately. It's just that if I make hitting even slightly better for the other team, they'll start scoring double digit runs off me! It was happening at the beginning of the season and I was winning games like 12-10, and such. If you think I'm not a little sick of winning every game, your wrong. It's just that the settings I have now are too easy, and changing ONE LITTLE thing will make it too hard.

If you know a way to make the settings so that I occasionally lose games to good teams, please tell me, but I am NOT going back to beating the Nationals 10-12. That was ridiculous.

if that doesn't work, then you haven't improved at all in quite some time!
