Seriously...I've tried for hours and the best I've gotten is about 800,000 but it's so freaking addictive. Anyone have some tips or should I just give up and wait for the Bigs 2 lol

I know what you mean.  I'd be playing it and doing really awsome then i get around the 700,000 - 750,000 mark and everything starts to go bad.   Start getting strikes, i hit the pitcher, and thats about it for me, i'll end up missing like 5 in a row.     I swear if i wasn't looking at how close i am, i wouldve beaten this long ago.
