Sounds like maybe I'm in the minority here, but to me, a lot of the charm of the warehouse is that you guys **aren't** pros. I love watching the games so much because I feel like I'm watching my buddies have a great time. The editing and commentary are top notch and it's just a lot of fun. I talk about that constantly in the chat when I catch the live debuts. I dunno; I never played little league, but I was constantly at the ballparks, stuffing my face full of hot dogs & candy, watching my neighborhood friends---so maybe that's where my enjoyment stems from?

Same. It's so much more relatable and makes the experience different than watching an MLB game. Part of the draw is the mix that a former Pro like Plouffe is matched up with an average Joe like Joez and to see the "Joes" sometimes come out on top is a huge part of the entertainment for me

Agreed. Part of the appeal is that, at least in theory, any pair of dudes (and hopefully women soon/eventually) could practice and wind up competing in the Warehouse. It's the approachability of the mundane that keeps things fun; the majesty of normal people achieving flashes of true, enduring greatness.

When y'all are less busy and have more time, I think some breakdown shorts for the Warehouse channel for BB4 could be fun to experiment with. Like Jimmy breaking down the Rourke homerun would be really compelling as a short for new viewers, and I think it could drive some more fans/subscribers, especially with the ability to link KZfaq videos within the short now.

Have you done an air quality test in the Warehouse? I'm genuinely serious about that. If I recall correctly, carpets were stored for years in the building, and carpet fibers and glue in the air in high quantities can genuinely be dangerous. I know its very possibly just dust that causes the Warehouse Flu, but couldn't the landlord just check just to make sure?

A wild thing from the Rourke home run that I couldn't help but think about: the spectre of those crushing losses to Jolly, Joez, et al were definitely on your mind. There were those little bits where you were talking about it to Kelsey and/or whomever had the camera. Consciously or no, you maybe could've believed it would (or might) happen. But that split second after where you just fall to the ground is quite a reaction gif, if anyone wants to edit it into one.

Week 2 of presenting a double play idea for blitzball battle: Fielder zone; starts a few feet behind pitcher, any ball fielded on the fly by the fielder may be thrown at the zone for a potential "double play" (must have at least 1 runner on base of course). Fielder may take a few steps after catching to establish themselves, (like ultimate Frisbee) but may not stand and hold the ball to decide if they want to make a play. Obviously this can be played around with to make it more fluid/fun/fair. This second out would not count towards the "pitching out" that all players must get. Only the fly contributes.

In my head I toyed around with the idea of a double play rule where if a ground ball is fielded and thrown and hits the strike zone within idk 2.5 seconds of the ball being hit, then it's a double play. Would be cool to see attempts to "turn 2" and have this possibility be out there to get out of jams, but I think this would be logistically too complicated to implement
@dawgsmansc5 ай бұрын
I had a thought similar to that but have a target of whatever size on the wall by the foul pole on the 1st base side. Have it so big to actually be able to hit it, while missing it leads to the runners getting another base. Makes it an actual gamble and strategy to try it.

Add a gong high above the strike zone. Fielder catches it and has to fluidly throw at the gong. Everyone will hear and celebrate the Gong Play

@PT-dw5lt5 ай бұрын
I think the key to solving the problem of too many walks from the secondary pitchers is to incentivize the offense to be agressive. One way to do this would be to have a rule that if a pictcher gets three cumulative strikes looking across all at bats they no longer have to pitch that game. That would force hitters to be aggressive in all counts if they want to keep a pitcher in the game.
@PT-dw5lt5 ай бұрын
To expand on this more, let's assume that a typical at bat pitched by Joez includes 1 strike, 2 close balls, and 3 noncompetitive balls. Currently this will almost certainly result in a 6 pitch walk because the strike will likely be taken since the chances of Joez throwing 3 strikes in an at bat is remote. But with the 3 combined strikes looking allows a pitcher to stop pitching rule, the same at bat would likely result in 3 takes and 3 swings because strikes looking against Joez would want to be avoided at all costs. This should lead to less walks, more balls in play, help teams with a clearly worse pitcher (because when facing a team with roughly equal pitchers you wouldn't have the same impetus to swing at anything close), and I think it would be an interesting point of strategy to track and comment on during the broadcast.

Hi Jimmy and Matty, warehouse related question. Nothing big, just more of a random question I'm intrigued about. When do you guys put up the banners for the warehouse cup champions? You can't put them up immediately since you record other content in the warehouse between tourney's that could spoilt it, no? Will the banner reveal be a part of the first pregame show of the following tourney? Just wondering, thanks and keep up the awesome content!

Teams need a dominant pitcher, dominant hitter AND a minimum middle of the pack 2nd arm. The teams that have middle of the pack pitchers and hitters are going to fall short most of the time. There are a couple teams that will never win a banner, and we all know who they are. Mixing up the teams might help some guys win it all. Bring back the roulette and one inning BB. Much more interesting than the other competitions because it requires skill. How about bring in some fastpitch women athletes to team up with some guys for blitzball?
@dingrogu05045 ай бұрын
Walks are just singles that take longer. Why do I like him; cause he gets on base. Do I care if it is a walk or a single; I do not. Don't mess with pitch limit/minimum. Adding a 3rd guy to teams will change strategy a lot. Probably more runs if each pitcher can only get 2 outs in regulation if fielders don't make outs. League parity would flip and focus would then be on best hitting teams, as opposed to best pitching teams now. With 3 men teams, Del Caribe Strong would probably be one of the better teams.
