Do the 3 Warm-Up Pitches matter? Should I try to hit the corners... just fire a fastball down the middle... I know this might be impossible to determine if it helps at all but if not . what's the point?

I usually skip it, but it might be for testing out all your pitches (if you have never played as that pitcher) or it might be to see how much your slider, or curveball is "moving" that day.

Anybody figure out if they effect your stamina? Because with a low stamina guy his third was a mistake pitch.

I doubt it, it's random if your guys muffs one during warm-ups.

Of course, you then know if he has Safe-Pitch or not :D

I usually press the button for a pickoff. I figured it out unintentionally. Trying to pick him off in the warm up :P

And on the Gamecube controller (which I use) it's L. (it should be a left shoulder button for PS2, I'm assuming)

PS2 is triangle, not sure if any other buttons work but I know triangle for sure because that's what I press to skip it.

But back before I skipped it, I tested out 2 breakers and a top speed fastball to see his top speed of the day.
