However, Paulie has suddenly gone hitless in his last nine at-bats, taking his second half BA down to .182.

For the game’s other primary activity it’s more uneven. Pressing up on the d-pad with illuminate all potential grab points, and from there scaling objects and swinging across beams is streamlined into a series of timed button presses. It creates cool looking moments, but it’s a bit clunky and uninteresting to actually execute.

Twin-stick shooter fans should feel right at home with the standard “left moves, right shoots” configuration.

There is no camera manipulation, which can be troublesome at times, but it’s mostly well done.

On July 2, Holland was pounded by the Marlins and was unable to get out of the first inning. What does he do to follow up that stinker? Holland goes out and tosses not one, but two complete game shutouts and strikes out 15 in the process. He’s been wildly inconsistent, but when he’s been on, he’s been very good.

We’re betting we see the stud starter and not his evil twin more often than not in the future.
