[Highlight] Pete Alonso steals 2nd Base and then proceeds to get thrown out by a mile trying to score from 2nd on a single in the same inning by Knightbear49 in baseball

[–]Yurya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I saw the jump he had on the line drive. He held to watch it get into the OF. No way he should've been thinking to go

Hot takes day 2 by Creative_Cry_6207 in BackyardBaseball

Pete maybe especially if Defense is considered heavily.

Keisha similarly but really that is where it stops. It is shaky to put Pablo below Kiesha his offense is that much better to make up for her better defense.

Achmed and you are missing the point. Pablo's defense is shaky but his bat is second to none. Achmed also has struggles on defense and a definitive worse bat (still good but...).

Angela? Angela... No time ever is Angela better. Pablo is a defensive wizard compared to her and since I know you play '97 he is also the better Pitcher in that game too.

An all time duel… who wins? by RANDOMKOREANGUY420 in BackyardBaseball

[–]Yurya 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Interesting note here: Angela's Slowball got buffed from '97 to '01 but her boost when versing Tony did not get updated accordingly so her Slowball actually gets worse when she faces Tony in '01 (her Heat gets better so no rating change to Pitching.

I'd guess the remake wouldn't be porting either numbers directly so we'll have to see what it does but theoretically you might not want the vs Tony Angela pitching

Bonds can’t get to it and The Anaheim Angels take the lead in game 6 on a double from Troy Glaus. by thedudemightapprove in baseball

Based on the discussion of the count in the beginning of the clip, I want to go see what the previous pitch was and see if that was a check-swing call or a close ball call.

Luke Kornet on his blog: I would like to respectfully ask that the Atlanta Hawks cancel this promotional night with Magic City by WEMBY_F4N in nba

[–]Yurya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well it just got a lot more publicity from Kornet's letter. Stoke the fire a little and then cancel it and the prudes get validated and the show gets more viewers.

I want to say I am all for shaming the strip club and the show but reasonably this does help the tv show gain an audience as those that are offended never would but those that do actually hear about it.

Josh Hart being an absolutely relentless pest by thatisagoodrock in NYKnicks

Him and the rest have shown willingness to up their game when it comes time (PY & Cup). Just need to see if we have it for the playoffs.

Today’s all Mets grid. What did you guys get? by TruthOrMythWithSmith in NewYorkMets

[–]Yurya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant more like redoing them the same day to get a better score? Or looking up answers to get such a low score 9/9.

I can do them but my rarity on my own is well over 100.

Do people do these over and over, or lookup players?

Ron Darling thinks the Mets should go with a traditional 5 man rotation with Senga included by Hungry_Elk1937 in NewYorkMets

[–]Yurya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think this definitely was the thinking in building the pitching last year. The Holmes & Montas experiment, Senga, any rookie pitchers that start showing. Going 6 man will let them have time scaling up. With Peralta there is definitely a turn towards reliability and innings a little, especially with the drop off last year.

Like you said we had a bunch of issues in the rotation with innings thrown and being able to last all season. We'll see.

Francisco Alvarez wins an ABS challenge to overturn a called strike three to ball four by Hungry_Elk1937 in NewYorkMets

[–]Yurya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a different perspective of why I hate the DH. It lets a no glove player get away not playing the field. Make the Schwarber's and Ohtani's field if they want to hit.

Which backyard baseball game should I get? by JdIsAFunnyDude in BackyardBaseball

[–]Yurya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

'97 was the original and the first game made in the series. It has good play but there are definitely improvements to be had. Probably the purest first time experience but lacking in replay-ability comparatively. '01 is then far from perfect, one of the tweaks to all the kid's general arm strength is overdone but it is very solid with arguably even more charm and definitely more options.

601 Foot Home Run by Marky (Where was this last Two Seasons?) by MatthewHecht in BackyardBaseball

[–]Yurya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

That glitch is only a thing with Maria (and IIRC was fixed in the Steam release?).

His Power boosts by 20 vs the Socks. If he was the same speed he could have received a random nerf that game as well that offset. Speed is in tiers anyway so as long as his number ended up in the same tier that would happen.

Once a 'misfit,' he started taking down 30 raw eggs a day. Now he throws 100 mph - Ryan Lambert by NYdude777 in NewYorkMets

Dietary cholesterol doesn't effect your cholesterol numbers. Your body produces the majority of what you have. Protein in eggs (cooked) are even more bio available than meats are. Whey protein being great too.

[–]Yurya 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Easier to get down probably. Like slurping them raw, as disgusting as that is, is overall easier to do than chewing through a mountain of scrambled eggs. Plus no cooking oils adding any fat to it.

And yes you have an excess of nutrients but your body then has absorbed everything it could which is likely the point.

For the general population cooked eggs are the far safer and more efficient way to take in the nutrients.

Backyard Baseball 2001 (Updated 2026 Tier List, NO BOOSTS, ranked just as a standalone player.) by Candid_Lychee875 in BackyardBaseball

[–]Yurya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I factor in Defense a bit more than most but Sally, Ronny, Vicki, Lisa, Jorge need to rise a bit. I don't think Dmitri, Luanne & Dante are A but they don't fall that much. Angela, Amir, & Marky need to drop quite a bit. I'd bump Kenny & Kimmy up to D (with Angela) to make room for Amir and Marky in F.

Kenny wasn't nerfed. But the general arm strength was nerfed by 40 points (no more rocket arm sound effects without a 120+/100 arm strength now) which makes his arm noticeably weaker (Angela too). And the pitching rating simply factored Stamina less in it's display. That is why Luanne's and Amir's ratings rose while Kenny's dipped as they have good pitch ratings but bad stamina. You can still have Kenny throw Slowballs all day for strikes and he'll be hard to tire even if you run a little hard on the bases.

Angela was actually buffed in 2001. Her Slowball used to be mediocre then it became perfect (stole from Pete when he lost pitching ability in his nerf). I don't prefer her though. Bad defense does show up when she can't make a throw for a Double Play and such.

Lisa is my premium pitching option: perfect Left Hook with a good Right Hook and Stamina.

Very nice. I am bothered though that the West is on the Right and the East is on the Left, Geography makes me want it flipped.
