scoop 3,447 Posted January 13, 2023 Share Posted January 13, 2023 (edited) Youtube recommended me some video on the Backyard games series so I watched it and felt nostalgic, so I'm going to go ahead and play some Backyard Baseball until I get bored of it after probably like four games or something. I'm outsourcing the selection of my roster to the first eight people who pick a player, and I will round out the roster with the last selection. No major league players on the team. Pablo is allowed, but only if one of you puts him on my team; I will not add him myself. We will be the Blue Bombers because of course we will. We also need a home field; anyone can vote on that if they'd like. Roster: 1. Pete Wheeler 2. Pablo Sanchez 3. Kenny Kawaguchi 4. Marky Dubois 5. Luanne Lui 6. Kiesha Phillips 7. Kimmy Eckman 8. Sidney Webber 9. Ricky Johnson Playing on Hard difficulty, six innings, errors on, no swing spot, no pitch locator.

scoop 3,447 Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 The roster was definitely looking too strong to add Ashley Webber. Instead I went completely the opposite direction and took one of the worst kids in the game in Ricky Johnson. Team photo!

scoop 3,447 Posted January 14, 2023 Author Share Posted January 14, 2023 Game 1 of the season in the books. It was a 10-5 victory for the Blue Bombers, but it wasn't pretty. The outfield did make four errors (two from Pete, one from each Sidney and Kimmy). The infield played well, with Pablo making some nice plays at shortstop and Kiesha showing off her cannon at third base, though the dirt field we were playing on made for some tricky bounces that led to hits on plays that could have been made. Ricky caught everything that was thrown to him at first, which is all we need from him. Pablo and Kiesha both him homers in a five-run second inning, but the first dinger of the season actually came from Kimmy earlier in that inning. Peter went 4-4, while Kenny struggled at the plate, striking out four times. Luanne gave up five runs in 4.1 innings of work, thanks in part to those errors that were made. It wasn't all on the defense, though, as she did give up two home runs. Kenny closed out the game with 1.2 scoreless innings. jacobcarson877, KaleebtheMighty, JardyB10 and 1 other 3 1 Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/131985-scoop-plays-backyard-baseball-2003/#findComment-968538 Share on other sites More sharing options...
scoop 3,447 Posted January 15, 2023 Author Share Posted January 15, 2023 Midway through the season, the team is leading the division with a 5-2 record. The highlight of the first half was definitely KENNY THROWING A PERFECT GAME. Also Kimmy has as many home runs as Pablo.

Petey's a decent pitcher IIRC, though those talents are wasted because he needs to keep his WHEELS. Speaking of which, I never drafted Kenny because I'm ableist, but I'm curious if Sunny Day ever says, "Oops, the wheels fell off!" whenever he falls over to turn around when running. Or maybe he's immune to falling over... Link to comment https://vhlforum.com/topic/131985-scoop-plays-backyard-baseball-2003/#findComment-968738 Share on other sites More sharing options...

His stamina is incredible and he can utilize most of the power up pitches really well. He actually has a second perfect game now. I'm not sure if he's immune to falling over, but she says that when people fall over. Maybe she specifically doesn't say it for Kenny though.

I never once realized that different characters had different stamina usage . Other than Mr. Clanky, of course.
