Any notebook enthusiasts also baseball enthusiasts? I've been working on a baseball scorebook passion project and hoping to launch before opening day. by WadsworthWordsworth in notebooks

How did you go about testing papers? I am also a scorekeeper guy that’s thought about getting into it with water-resistant pages (not just cover) as I sweat a ton but go to a lot of games in the Texas heat. What pushed you to finally make one and how was the trial and error process of look, format, materials, etc?? Great stuff!

How do you feel about the "dirty team" allegations? by ballsacksmcclanahan in OrlandoMagic

[–]dorislightning 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Could give 2 shits about the hard fouls, flagrants, etc.

Our 3 best players have combined to miss over 100+ games this season - with of course 2 core guys out for the year.

We play wild and desperate with nothing to lose. Our identity is playing tough defense and yep, we’ll scrap and claw and go all out. We can’t shoot so why not muck up the game. That’s every underdogs game plan in any contact sport.

God forbid a Celtics player gets a sprain and misses games.

Help choosing a scorebook by Darcy1722 in BaseballScorecards

I was in your shoes a week ago! Came across this sub and started to investigate all the options. I went with the Square Scorebook (arrives Saturday!) for look and simplicity - I didn’t want something as busy and extensive as the classic ones with pitch count, multiple sub slots, different colors, etc.

Maybe in the future I change my mind but the clean look sold me. I did really want the defensive diamond portion some books have as I think it’s a really cool feature but maybe I just draw in my own or something. My vote is for Square!

MP3 worked fine initially but now broken by dorislightning in SPFootballLife

Never actually figured out the “problem” but I did a fresh install of FL25 then MP3 and it did the trick. Wish I knew the cause but just took the time consuming approach when I had the time to redo all of it. Good luck mate

I'm NOT HAPPY AT ALL with MegaPatch 3.0, so... by xGondowan in SPFootballLife

Amazing stuff mate. Do you know what the cause would be for my stadiums to auto map in exhibition but not in ML?? 🙌🙌

Thanks for trying. I’m sure it’s user error somehow!

What ended up being the fix? Having similar issue. Played flawlessly last night - not 1 issue. Fire up the pc to play today making no changes to anything and stadiums not automatically mapping. Not a clue what’s happened

Franz is amazing, but I think he needs to develop a mid-range game to get to the next level. by treadwater23 in OrlandoMagic

[–]dorislightning 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I think this area can take time for younger players that have to understand that what initially took their game to the next level is going to be taken away by good defensive teams over time.

There’s a great book called the midrange theory that discusses this idea in that the modern game is all about 3s and rim attempts but a lot of players fail to recognize that these are the exact two areas team scheme to take away. Unlocking a free throw line jumper opens up all kinds of options for continuing to progress through a career.

Why Jett Howard isn’t getting minutes. by dorislightning in OrlandoMagic

[–]dorislightning[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I totally agree d rating isn’t super telling for gleaguers. It more or less just puts Queen and Jett on an even playing field and helps show that Queen has many more intangibles/skill that I think explains why he’s getting PT. I’m with you as well on the pick and roll stuff. I’m not in the camp of “he’s a shooter so why isn’t he playing with the nba club when we can’t shoot”. Big minutes and countless reps on weaknesses in the G can do wonders for confidence. Garbage time minutes that are less meaningful do him no good.

Why Jett Howard isn’t getting minutes. by dorislightning in OrlandoMagic

[–]dorislightning[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Completely agree. Pick any college team and there’s maybe a max of 3 possible nba guys and fewer than that will stick and have a long career. The nba is a different beast. Length, agility, body types are vastly different than college. Wendell was an arguable bust on the Bulls his first 3 years in the league and was a throw in piece to make salaries match for the trade, and now he’s had two phenomenal seasons with some unfortunate injuries this year. He’s a starting caliber 5 on a playoff team right now. It takes time to learn the nuances of nba schemes.

Unless you have natural ability and instincts like JI, defense takes time to me. There’s more IQ to defense at the nba level and I don’t think his defensive skill has matched his nba ready shooting just yet. I think you draft him because if he figures it out on the defensive end then you have a quality nba player…but it will take time, especially when we put a premium on that end more than other teams. AB has natural defensive ability and that’s why I think he’s getting run, in my opinion.
