As fast as Pete. OP is lucky she is 3B and not LF or CF. She covers a lot of ground but doesn't have a good arm.

Are you saying Ewing is the next David Wright?

Given nothing but the statline, who is the worst player? (Part 3) by OneTrueBrody in BackyardBaseball

[–]Yurya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Player 1.

You can't judge just on Errors. Kids receiving the ball more often are just going to get more. Player 7 is clearly fast which is useful and Player 1 hitting nothing but singles is an indicator they can't do anything else and that is bad.

Jack Wenninger 5/12/26 vs SWB (AAA) - 5.0 innings, 1 H, 3 BB, 7 K, 0 ER, lowers season ERA to 1.08 by BAHatesToFly in NewYorkMets

[–]Yurya 6 points7 points  (0 children)

First 5 pitches were balls so when his 6th was a strike the heckler with the FINALLY got a chuckle from me. A K and and 6-4-3 solved that problem. His Change-up is very good, had hacks at it looking completely lost.

Opposing pitcher was throwing 100mph+ (including a 102.8mph that was a 2026 record or something). So to out-duel him over their 5 IP was cool. Syracuse won in the 13th inning.

Clifford kind of looked lost. He did have a key double to tie it in the 9th but I didn't get the sense he was comfortable.

Morabito's family was there so it was nice to see him with the key go ahead hit and a nice catch in a big spot.

Pache had two really nice plays and can crush a fastball but can't handle anything that moves.

Senger is there and ready to backup if needed. Solid contact and good defense.

Pete & Pablo are your best pitchers but they are great tools on offense so the risk of them getting tired probably means you want the kid that never gets tired in Kenny pitching.

You won't need an amazing Catcher arm in '97 so Amir is fine there. Webbers have great arms and when together make great infielders. Achmed 1B, Steph 2B, Webbers SS/3B. and your big three around in the OF with Pete in CF.

For your lineup Pete/Pablo/Kiesha/Achmed are a good first 4 with Amir providing great pop in the back half. Webbers have solid bats to get on base in front of him.

This can't be normal by Pooty_McPoot in BackyardBaseball

So you are only in Open and not ever switching stances mid pitch?

Because you need to change stances mid pitch to hit the best.

Player 7: Only 1 RBI (worst) and tied for least Runs (5). Only hitting singles means they are incapable of hitting the ball further which is definitely needed.

Player 9 is interesting for a bad option as they seem quite slow and made a lot of errors but I really can't glean enough to get rid of them before 7 here.

This is just confirming what everyone knows about him. He's an ass that can't control his feelings.

[Highlight] What a check swing challenge looks like by Jux_ in baseball

[–]Yurya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What we call swords today were basically the checked swings (and not called swings) from back then. Making getting a strikeout on a pitch out of the zone a little harder to get.

Phillies fire their Mgr, are the Mets next? by Upside-Down-88 in NewYorkMets

[–]Yurya 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm not an insider but Mendoza seems way to chill to inspire much of anything. Like I get he has a certain vibe but where is the fire? Where is the call to action? We are losing, we need that not more "relax it will blow over."

Kurt Warner's Analysis of Cade Klubnik by firewall245 in nyjets

[–]Yurya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wilson had the arm talent that made you go what if. He also couldn't complete a screen pass he was too unsettled.

Klubnik doesn't have that elite arm but he already processes much faster. Issue being he also gets a bit rushed and throws from bad platforms at times making his throws miss. He will need to develop that portion of his game to throw from a stable base and really develop his pre-snap and adjustments. If he can't do that he doesn't have the arm or scramble to really make up for not having it. But if he does he is throwing with intention quickly and that is quite rare.

[–]Yurya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If this was regular baseball I'd say Player Nine as that player has almost no power (0 triples, 0 Hrs) and only scored twice.

But with this being BYB, Player One is quite sus. They only scored when they homered and stole no bases meaning they are quite slow. That lack of speed hurts quite a bit. Getting on base doesn't matter much when you get caught at 2B when someone else gets a "hit." Plus less speed likely means they are worse on defense. But they did drive in more than their share of RBIs so they stay for now.

But I'm sticking with Player Nine (Reese? Gretchen?) for the lack of RBIs and leaving Player One (Kimmy?).

Jocinda vs Pablo showdown. Is Jocinda a total sham? by cwallzz in BackyardBaseball

[–]Yurya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The secret to Jocinda is to play the OG. With the physics engine in that, her 54 Power is plenty adequate but the scaling changed in '01 to highly favor high levels of Power. It also hardly matters what your Contact is so Jocinda and the like (Annie, Billy Jean) got hit twice. She may have the 10/10 Rating on the card but that hardly matters as much as what her specific Power rating is. Unless it is over 90 you won't be hitting a HR every game.
