Need some feedback on how to deal with quite possibility the most annoying strategy I've ever faced in DD before.

Last night I face a guy who was the most irritating player I've ever faced in possibly any sports game before. While pitching, he would hold on to the ball until the very last second before pitching. Not in that he would take forever to select a pitch, but after selecting a pitch, he didn't deal until ~10 seconds afterwards. Since he had already selected the pitch, I can't pause and I can't step out of the batter box. I just sit there waiting. I guess what he did worked cause it annoyed me so much that I started hacking at bad pitches because it was prolonging the game too much. I know thats the mechanic of the game, so that is more of a rant than anything. It ended up being the longest game I've ever played because of this annoying tactic.

What I do need help with is how to deal with his hitting strategy. Anytime he got a runner on base, he would set runner in motion and would bunt to the 2nd base side. Because runner was in motion it kept going to the dead area between 1B, 2B and P. He got on base 4-5 times just doing this. How do you deal with something like that?

One more point to add - this guy put in Brody Bumila in the 9th to close. Holy cow i've never hated an opponent more. </end rant>

So I purchased Precision Rings a couple of weeks ago. I had already been using Kontrol Freeks as I had those for other games, but thought I would give the precision rings a chance since it seems all the best players use it and highly recommend it.

I've used it for about two weeks now. And although i find it helps with hitting meatballs, I am having extreme difficult hitting pitches on the edges of the zone. I use the lowest resistance, and they are pretty broken in to the point I have no issues fielding anymore. But I find I require so much force to get the PCI to the corners of the zones that I'm always making poor contact on those pitches.

Since I play mostly online ranked, the majority of pitches are aiming for the corners. I feel like I cant even put my PCI on the edges without using a ton of pressure. Also, while it helps with PCI slamming, I am always on top of the ball on slow low breaking pitches, when I used to be able to hammer those. I watch clips of streamers using P rings and they are snapping their PCI to the corners and edges, so I don't get it.

Anyone else have this issue?
