    You guys are good I got 3.5 seconds my first time

    .23 next time, when I figured out what was going on...now try it deciphering what type of pitch it is, location, and put a good swing on it...

    I average .21

    I do a lot of swinging at batting cages on the high speeds - I was the only one (out of us 6 loser guys) that could continually make contact and put some good swings on. I wish I had kept playing in high school...

    0.09(It said HR), and then 0.24(Base hit), then 0.37(Swing and a miss), then 0.21(Base hit), then 2.09 when my mouse miss clicked. And I had several swings where I clicked too early, before it said to swing

    .28 the first time. After that I mostly got .23 and .24. .11 a couple times...
    My runs created per 27 posts (RC/27p) was 12.4 last year. I should've been MVP.
