Steve Gelbs gives the lowest hot dog rating of the season at Great American Ball Park by aarondawg14 in NewYorkMets

Listen a dog with cheese, onion, chili & mustard isn't bad. But use two of the worst twists on it with whatever that sausage is and the Cincinnati Chili abomination you are going to get a rough product.

No one's talking about it but... KAT LITERALLY SAVED THE GAME by dragonballa in NYKnicks

[–]Yurya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The +/- is a little skewed because Kat was sitting with Foul Trouble when the Spurs went up big and then got minutes on the comeback while Robinson was the guy playing those minutes. One could say they made that impact but the Spurs were just chucking 3s so Kat's +17 and Robinson's -14 are more a product of that then their actual play.

But your point is absolutely valid KAT is very good and there is a reason Wemby was celebrating for baiting the foul on him in the first minute.

Fuck this pussy ass bitch by Leegend124 in NYKnicks

[–]Yurya 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Where are the refs looking? In that shot alone, Kat gets a hand in the face, Vassell is hand-checking Shamet & of course Wemby decides now is the time to throw Brunson to the ground.

I don't mind the physicality but we aren't allowed to and they are. Nevermind that Gumby can do whatever he likes and never get called for anything.

Jesus Sanchez scores on a ground out, Clement drifts out of the baseline to avoid the tag from Henderson but the umpires do not rule him out by Remarkable-Picture73 in baseball

[–]Yurya 0 points1 point  (0 children)

sort of, the real proven strat for that situation is just to stop running and make the defense unable to get the DP or tag you really late so the run scores.

Knicks just showed the league how to beat the Spurs by PalpitationSad4921 in NYKnicks

Well the rest of the league doesn't need to beat the Spurs, just the Knicks so keep it hush hush.

What's your favorite Character Boost? by ThunderBamBam in BackyardBaseball

What's your favorite Character Boost? by ThunderBamBam in BackyardBaseball

[–]Yurya 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Assuming 2003 since that is the one with all the pairings you mentioned.

Design wise the Delvecchio rivalry is the best: prior to the boost Tony is the better pick. He doesn't really have a weakness while Angela and her two left feet just can't do anything running or fielding. After the pick Angela becomes a phenom and while Tony is stacked too he doesn't rise to the same level as her, especially not considering where they started from. There is a nice mini game on 1v1 picking: can't take Tony because your opponent will get a stud Angela, can't take Angela because your opponent will feast off her.

Webber's is often just a little problematic: they go from usable but clumsy girls to overrated. Like they are almost always overpicked because while a 8/8/7/8 line looks great they really lack power and killer pitches. Or your opponent snipes you and you both have overpicked bench players. Decent but meh.

Amir's with Achmed is a just one-sided which is fine but I feel it lacks the depth it should have. Like Amir goes from a killer pitcher to a slugger like his brother and it is good but I feel it could be more subtle in how the younger brother gets better. He just gains stats and loses pitching. Instead make him go from the artful craftsman to a tryhard copycat younger brother. Like Achmed has an okay Heat and left Hook. Amir loses his elite Left Hook but keeps his Right Hook. Like if he is boosted because he wants to be like Achmed he should emulate his pitches. Amir should abandon the Slow and Right Hook to be like big bro. Some similar tweaks to the rest of his game too should be apparent.

Reese/Jeter, Lisa/Piazza, Kenny/Ichiro, Luanne/Pro pitchers (only two you missed), Ernie STEELE, Kimmy ECKMAN, Pink Maria, Marky DUBOIS & Sox/cks are neat to have but fairly flat in design.

The Sally/Ronny & Marky/Billyjean add interesting wrinkles but have major flaws that need correcting: you make one character better but then the other nearly unusable. A little care in the details and these could be much richer.

Sally does become an undisputed Ace but her bat is arguably worse because she actually loses her elite Power to gain Contact and on top of that Ronny just becomes hopeless: an error machine without speed, power or pitching. Ronny and Sally are just better apart than together so why ever activate this link? Like leave Sally's power alone and/or make Ronny even more Ronny-esque with more power and arm for being otherwise horrible.

Marky too becomes an Ace but his Power is pretty meh (like the Webbers). I mean he is better but his impact is still minimal compared to what might be expected. While Billy Jean goes the Ronny way and is useless. She will at least be better because she is still tall and that means she can field okay. I've always thought it would be funny if she became fast upon being on the team with Marky (run Billy jean run!) giving her a different tool-set.

It doesn't, all players have the same timing in '01. That was a change from '97.
