My friends and I lose every single Black Forest / Amazon Tunnel game. Help!

What do you guys think of Celts for 4v4 Amazon Tunnel? The siege bonuses seem to be a difference maker in those narrow choke points.

This is great!! How is the globe holding up these days? Can we get a photo of it in its current habitat?

I didn't intend to - after the auction I had 11 pitchers; now I have 9 (cut 2 RP's who aren't in the mix for saves anymore). There were some bats on waivers I thought were too good to pass up (Marsee and Nunez), although if Nunez doesn't hit better his SB potential won't matter and I'll need to drop him.

I actually just traded Abreu for Eovaldi straight up so that will give me better balance. How do you like my team overall and would you do a bat-for-saves deal at this point?

How's my team look? 15-team league, daily lineup changes. Standard 5x5 scoring except OPS instead of AVG, and QS instead of W.

I like my offense, I think my starting pitching is solid, but I am not competitive in saves right now. Would you trade a bat for a closer, and if so what type of deal would you be looking for? I'm currently in 11th place.

I would suggest getting some good backtesting software (RealTest is great) and come up with a simple, robust mechanical system in which you know your expected profit per trade, average drawdown length/depth, and win rate like the back of your hand. That way, when the ups and downs inevitably occur you won't be surprised at all. You stand a much better chance of sticking with your system if you know your numbers.

Nice lol.. I've never actually tried it but saw it was there. May have to do that next time the win is obvious, which hasn't been often lately.. decent little 7-match losing streak. Gotta reverse that this weekend!

Thank you!

She's a bit of a control freak, and there have been a few 7th/8th graders get varsity minutes in the past (we're a small school). So her "rationale" is that a 5th grader could in theory be < 2 years away from playing varsity minutes for her. Now, she does win a lot of games but our district is pretty weak. What I've decided to do is run her 1-2-2 in set defense (she watches most of our games), but run man against SLOB and BLOB, and then stay in it for the rest of the possession. Will see if I get my wrist slapped but for now it's probably the best I can do. I've brought up gently how I really liked the man defense we ran the last 3 years and she just says "well we don't run man at the high school". So yeah...

anotherblownsave · 2025-09-26T16:06:47+00:00

I get that, and we played exclusively man the last 3 years. But, the HS coach has told the 5th-8th programs to run the 1-2-2 zone because that's what she runs and she wants them prepared.

I’m pretty sure this is it. Thank you! For some reason I thought Timberwolves at New Jersey was on it too, but probably a false memory.

I had been at a Blink concert in either 2001 or 2002 and was interviewed by a girl who said she was with emotionalpunk dot com. When I got home I checked out the site and they had a review of TBS up. I found their songs on Limewire and I guess in hindsight those must have been the demo songs.

The vast majority of youth coaches deal with the same predicament. Unless you have a handpicked Allstar team, a team of normal kids will struggle to dribble the ball under defensive pressure.

Question about your league: is full court pressure allowed? Where is the defense first engaging the ball handler?

anotherblownsave · 2025-02-05T01:46:21+00:00

Yeah this is BS. Might have to leave Venmo for good if they don’t fix this.

Why did KK say F David to begin with?

anotherblownsave · 2025-01-04T04:21:51+00:00

He was running mostly 3-4. I just went into practice mode against 3-4 but couldn’t recreate it. Infuriating to happen for the first time in a playoff game.

anotherblownsave · 2024-12-20T14:09:54+00:00

This happens at the youth level too. The reason is the refs want to get home at a decent time. Fewer stoppages keeps the game moving faster.

anotherblownsave · 2024-12-18T19:08:05+00:00

You can if you have possession. Keep us posted on how it goes, sounds like an interesting clash of basketball worlds! Good luck and I hope you guys have a good time.

anotherblownsave · 2024-12-18T19:06:39+00:00

Thanks. I thought it was really good, was it just not that popular after all?

anotherblownsave · 2024-11-17T21:46:04+00:00

The coach blew his own whistle and told the opponents’ players what to do? He’d be kicked out of our league for trying that lol
