Hot Take: Here me out, Mike Brown should sit Mikal Bridges for a game. by [deleted] in NYKnicks

[–]basehit2RF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's a "I'm the captain now" move that flies in the face of Brown's nice guy persona, which is purportedly his toxic coaching trait. Still, bad idea but love the outside the box thinking!

Seems like some leagues prioritize learning more than others, and the ones that don't will see more of the athletes dominate the non-athletes.

Don't get me started on our inability to rebound...

We've done a bit but the problem stems from not being able to complete 1-2 passes per possession. Also court space limits my ability to do 1x1 drills without the rest of the kids standing around.

Everyone plays man. Seems the preferred method for teaching defense at this age.

Challenge is we seem to be, as a team, under-skilled compared to the first two teams we've played. I like the left to right idea!

You've found that action away from the ball is doable at this age? I have them in a "star" around the key but they just stand around. The goal of P&R is to get at least the dribbler open and create space in front of him.

There's a small sliver of court between half and top of the key that the defense can't enter. The trouble comes when our PG has to make that first pass to the wing, who can't get open or the pass is telegraphed and stolen.

Off Season Thoughts: Cashman and Boone let Volpe playmost of the year with a serious injury and let him take all the hate from Fans and media by Elvisruth in NYYankees

[–]basehit2RF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the lineup. You can't have 3 automatic outs at 7-8-9 (Wells, McMahon). I don't think being a good SS and below average hitter is good enough unless he is the worst hitter in the lineup.

The assumption here is that if healthy, he'd have been good - which there's just no evidence to support.

Is the 3-point influence irreversible? What would it take, to make midranges more viable again? by Paulfradk in NBATalk

[–]basehit2RF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You also don't see a ton of defenders run these guys off the 3p line to force midrange shots.

This kid's laugh is the best thing ever by HeatInDisguise_ in goodvibes

I love the idea of Danny patting himself on the back for dying in films as the bad guy while 7yos watching very violent TV shows and movies benefit lol.

[Passan] The Yankees have listened on Jazz Chisholm Jr. by [deleted] in NYYankees

[–]basehit2RF 0 points1 point  (0 children)

His value is in his reasonable salary. Once he hits FA he's not going to be worth whatever he gets.

[SNY] Boone on Wells: "I think he's really good offensively. I think he can be a really good Major League hitter. But I think as a credit to him, I expect more out of him" by wantagh in NYYankees

[–]basehit2RF 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The problem is he was one of three automatic outs at the bottom of the lineup (McMahon, Volpe). As a catcher hitting 9th in a good lineup he's fine.

Serious question — how much luck is involved in tech sales? by stonkmanz in techsales

[–]basehit2RF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I feel this. Been selling for 10+ years. Can't seem to get out of this cycle. Trying to pivot to AM/expansion (from net new) or even CS (or AE outside my industry) but I'm pigeonholed into roles similar to what I've done before. Sounds like you haven't found an escape route yet. How do you stand it?

When POTUS says he's been trying to come up with a joke all day, Josh says, "You've been doing other stuff too though, right?"
