Damn. MLB 07 Road to the Show sucks if you're a pitcher. It's ridiculous; I can throw a 'waste' pitch on an 0-2 count that's a good eight inches off the plate, and batters will get home runs off that. Consistently.
It seems like the game comes up with something that says 'It's about time someone gets a home run', and whatever pitch you happen to throw gets dialed up on that. I can understand a somewhat wild curve high in the strike zone allowing a home run. I can even understand a great hitter nailing a low, inside fastball without needing to pull it. But I don't understand home runs on a ball that my catcher has to slide over to glove.
