#LiveStream Recorded #RallyBird #StayHome #Baseball #BoardGame Session 9

Pete vs Suzie. May 12, 2020. Game number 9 in the #StayHome series. After Suzie told me about her familiarity with softball, we launched into an overview of the rules with a couple of practice At Bats. The game starts about the 12:00 mark and moves along quickly. There was some Internet fuzziness here and there but it’s not too bad–I’m grateful for the chance to play this way, and share it with anyone interested.

Suzie named her lineup of 4 (based on the number of team tokens): 1. Chauncy, 2. Chad, 3. Brad, 4. Sad.

She learned the rules quickly and was even able to correct me on the final play.

The game had a dramatic finish! Whether relatedly or not, Suzie is a fan of the Rally Bird. She called it the Equity Bird.

Hooray! StayHome LiveStream RallyBird Baseball continues! This is the 3rd game vs Drew in our series of 7. A wonderful surprise guest came: Sara, as a hotdog vendor at the 33:00 time mark!

What decided the course of this game was the long bomb and general player execution (or lack there of!). This was the first game of a double-header…

And below is our second game, which had an entirely different plot:

#Livestream Recorded #RallyBird #StayHome #Baseball #BoardGame Game 6! This time I played Mckensi, a wonderful person I’ve known since she was little. She animates her surroundings. She didn’t know much about baseball or the board game before we started but was still eager to play. And I, I told her I would not give her any trash talk until the 9th inning. This proved more difficult than I expected.

It was a blast–a session with crazy building tension and extra innings! Thank you Mckensi!!! Let’s play again! The YouTube description includes a link to her artwork.

StayHome LiveStream RallyBird Baseball games continue, reaching number 5. Here Drew and I meet for a second time in what promises to be a series. As you can see in the thumbnail picture, events occurred which inspired me to throw my hat.

Big thanks to Drew for playing! See you for game 3 of our series soon….

Can my offense, formed around the nicknames of each player in my lineup, defeat Dei Vida, who swings for the fences?

This video includes some live candid events, priceless moments such as when DV needs to leave to close her garage door, or when her camera falls over. There’s one internet hiccup where we need to reconnect. And yet still the game moved quickly to conclusion under an hour. You can easily fast forward past the “candid moments” if you want. Big thanks to DV for playing me on camera! Let’s do it again.

I’m also looking for new opponents to play on camera! Bring it!

Update: I learned that YouTube allows me to edit an uploaded livestream. I gave it a little trimming!

Update2: I continue to learn the peculiarities of YouTube’s editing feature. Unlike normal editing, which allows many passes, this seems to require the editing to be done in one effort. Odd but okay! I’m grateful for the service.
