What difficulty level do you play on?

Heh...Rookie. I know, I know, I suck.

I can't take a pitch for the life of me. Took 2 the whole game, a called strike and a ball.

It's weird, sometimes I take pitches really well, but sometimes I take none the whole game. I go on pro and the games are usually pitcher's duels.

I tend to play on Veteran, and sometimes really struggle to score, but other times, I can't seem to stop scoring.

I can't judge fly balls either, one dropped in just to the right of my LF for a triple, I think, and then one dropped in between the 2B and RF for a double.

That's why you put the thing that tells you where it will land on.
