First off - very fun streams. Love the JM boys getting into Backyard Sports and I don’t think y’all will lose at the current level. That being said, a few basic tips from someone who just won the Backyard Baseball Online League World Series (ahem) if y’all ever turn up the CPU difficulty: 1. Where you click when trying to hit the ball doesn’t matter so don’t spend energy worrying about it. 2. Start every pitch in open stance and adjust as quickly as you can to where the pitch is. Your stance has a massive effect on hit quality. 3. Click on the basepaths repeatedly to sprint! Ernie could especially benefit from this 😅(Make sure you do this ahead of the runner on the path or else they’ll turn around.) Go Rockets!
How do all three of them so consistently get distracted with the batting stance (closed, open) and yet no one ever uses the home run hitting style for sluggers
Can’t hit out of the infield because they never use the power. Also way too focused on the stances so they’re late on every pitch. Why does Jimmy always click below the target lol
I never know the score cause you guys are right there in front of it. So I never know if you guys are winning or losing. So I never think you guys are gonna win or lose. I'm just here for the love of the game. And so I don't get fined.
Ernie is so bad his stat line was 0-2 going into his second at bat. It was only the second time through the order, but Ernie's double play must have registered as an 0-2. That kid is never getting a hit until you start swinging with power.
Official scorer here. At 3:18, agree with the error call. Batter-runner is slow, the fielder (catcher) had it all the way with plenty of time to throw... until the pitcher interfered. Thus, E1. (Besides, pitcher thinks he can make that play going in that direction, having to throw across his body? This was the late 1990s, think of all the Japanese media that would have been following every move of a wheelchair-bound nihonjin during the wake of Nomo-mania. Come on, Kenny! )
There's a disturbing lack of power hitting on a team that is clearly capable of leading the league in bombs. Coaching's mandate to hit drives and grounders is choking the potential of this team.
Let’s just call it what it is. Jimmy is a liability on the sticks. I know the dynamic is tough with him being the boss, but maybe let Jake and Joez alternate from time to time.
having a pitcher with low juice makes them run slower, so sometimes its good to use the juice before the end of an inning. Also gotta check to see if the players are playing with stat boosts or minuses on the roster screen
@@MontagnaMagica ahh, i used to have to 2001 version and read online that there were player boosts in the original also, just assumed you could see them
@@prestong1773 Makes sense. I had both (still do!). The boosts were present in the original as well. For example, players got boosts on their birthdays. Players had boosts or nerfs based on teammates, colors, team names, etc... A fun one I like is Marky hating socks so much that he gets nerfed on a Socks team and boosted against them. Maria gets a huge boost on a pink team. Amir basically becomes Achmed if they're teammates.
Petra Chekov and Bobby Bulgrien are both great power hitters, especially Petra, but they absolutely cannot play defense. Bobby's a good pitcher though (he's a clone of Angela Delvecchio, for those familiar with the game).
If they miss another strike because of the stupid mid-pitch stance adjustments I'm going to lose my mind
They are worrying way too much about it.
Wait until they find out that waiting does nothing for them.....
Drives me insane
Is there any science that it helps ?

In order to catch fly balls, you gotta click the shadow of the ball on the ground. It's not all on Ernie if we are being honest.
Classic Buckner situation. He also didn’t click the shadow of the ball on the ground
Ernie stinks. Stats don't lie
Are we gonna completely ignore Jake's immaculate inning in the top of the 4th?
Yes
@@JamesGames29Design you could do it every time on this difficulty. Just throw strikes down the middle
6:45 guys…… what are we doing??? It is literally one of the 7 deadly sins too not use power with Pablo. I swear you guys are trolling us
They also do the same thing with Mikey. We gotta let them figure out the meta.
@ all they gotta do is read the comments😂
How do all three of them so consistently get distracted with the batting stance (closed, open) and yet no one ever uses the home run hitting style for sluggers
THIS
Waiting for the mid pitch stance dancing to cost them a game.
How many 35+ year old men does it take to win a children's game?? You guys sure make this game look harder than it is! 😂
@@Paddy504 all are 35
Right. I’ve never seen someone make this game look hard
Hater
@@coytekyles8465 hating? Simply stating my friend
@@coytekyles8465lol what
Saying Kenny is faking his injury is CRAZY
Shit had me cracking up in the middle of the office

Complete misunderstanding of the pitch circle.
To be fair, it doesn't matter where you click. Timing is all that matters. You can click anywhere and get the same result.
"Pablo should be doing better" NOT USING POWER IS CRAZYYYYYYYYYYY!
They are 100% losing to the bombers
Please just use power swing for pretty much every player
Love how “waiting for our pitch” really means “swinging at anything near the zone”
You guys gotta stop messing with the stance at the last second and use Power hits more holy smokes.
Why are you guys allergic to power swing? Like legit you should use nothing else for the top 6 in your lineup
Ernie only needs to swing for homers. He isnt getting on base with any line drive or grounder
This might be my favorite series
Oh, then you haven't watched Super Seducer.
@@JubaCheeks you are definitely alone on this
One of the best on all of youtube at the moment
The Guts series is easily the best one
"Separated at birth triplets" would explain why there are blonde girls named Chang and Michiko Adachi.
Btw.. the “points” are pitches lol

People upset about quality of game play are watching the wrong part of the show.
Ernie does not have a hit this season
I'd like to see them try playing with the pitching shadow off, I'm curious if they'd have any eye for the ball because it's pretty tricky
aint no way they're ready for that
Brother they barely understand how to play the game as is lol

"I got bad news." - Jake
I'm a grown adult, watching 3 grown adults play a game for 5 year olds. SMH. I'm folding laundry at least. Lmao 🤷🏻♂️
Is that a “Joez goes high in the elastic jungle” headband?
BOMBERS 2025 BBL CHAMPS! LET'S GO!!!!!!!!!!!
This series is so good. Had me worried for a bit in this one!
@@northwall9243 is this a joke?
Mandatory difficulty increase after you win the title .

As bad as they are on offense, they need to start trying to turn double plays to get the special bats.
You don't get powerups for double plays in the original game. The 2001 and 2003 versions introduced that mechanic.
Definitely need to up the difficulty for the next game to see some chaos lol
lol. You guys are hilariously bad at this game.
Put the bat cursor in the MIDDLE of the shadow circle when hitting!
For anyone wondering....No, Ernie still does not have a base hit
Are they aware they can shift the defense too? On that same diamond they steal from. Maybe one day they'll see it...
First two awful at bats: "I think it's the mouse's batteries"
having a pitcher with low juice makes them run slower, so sometimes its good to use the juice before the end of an inning. Also gotta check to see if the players are playing with stat boosts or minuses on the roster screen
You can't check the opponents' stats in the original game, unfortunately. That feature was introduced for the 2001 edition.

The shit talkin...To the oh fuck.... Back to the shit talkin!
Pure New York gotta love it 💙
Bet ya can’t hit a touchdeeeeeewn!
Turn up difficulty, Hard time
21:02 - Joseph Solano AYOOOOO
I absolutely loved this game as a kid. What are you playing this on computer or what. I have to get this !!
Did you guys reference dirt nasty ft beardo???? Wtf
Y'all are embarrassing and i love it. Get it together boys!
M.V.Pete
I am BEGGING you to hit only power with Mikey
you guys are sapping your players' speed every time you turn them around on the basepaths 10:25
Love a good out of pocket Jimmy episode
What is the pop a wheelie* button?
Pop a wheelie.
Petra Chekov and Bobby Bulgrien are both great power hitters, especially Petra, but they absolutely cannot play defense. Bobby's a good pitcher though (he's a clone of Angela Delvecchio, for those familiar with the game).
If little dynamite was pitching for the other team, you wouldn’t stood a chance!
I miss GUTS
Guts looks weird this week 🤔
Let’s go JoeZack!
Todd's got a CANNON
Joez doesn't have the skill to be messing with the stance and get a good swing down, needs to lock in and quit picking dandelions
If there's anything positive at least you're better at this than blitzball.
You guys should put Ernie at Catcher.. Use Mikey at 3rd
Ernie at 1st, Jocinda at 3rd. Mikey has a great arm but limited mobility.
Jim is by far the worst batter. Joz is clearly the worst defender. Jake is unequivocally their worst base runner.
I think you guys need a new mouse...
1099's?????????????????? IRS...keep talking shit Jose ........oops
So Joez hit the walk off in the last episode then shut the other team down here. Why is he so bad at Mario party?
Pannucc!
Y’all are so mad about a group of friends being bad at a video game while being high lmao
LET PETE BUNT
Typical toxic sports fan behavior to complain about a 5-0 team. GO LITTLE ROCKETS!! WORLD SERIES BOUND!!
Either find another series or up the difficulty. No way people can continue to watch this. You guys are terrible and still 5-0
I think the bombers are turn the tide
Please do super seducer
I wish I enjoyed this game... but I just don't. You three are entertaining, as usual... but the game is just dumb. Sowwy -
