Since going down slightly in dose, I’ve noticed the anhedonia is wearing off a bit as well. I prefer to live my life with the anhedonia.

3mg was the sweet spot for emotional numbness, now I’m down to 1.5mg. Any other peptides that’ll bring it back full bore?

Title essentially; logged in tonight and was Plat III right where I left off at. Doesn’t new season require at least a placement match?

Hello good folks of r/Homeplate

I need some input

So I’m running summer practices that are essentially “open gym” but on the field. I have it open to Baseball and Softball ages 8-14.

The entire concept was born from trying to keep kids engaged and getting reps in the offseason; rather than playing for 3 months then sitting idle for 9 months.

Right now, on average, we have between 30-45 kids show up on any given night. Some of those kids have been playing for 8+ years, and some are brand new.

I really need some ideas for drills and competitions that would make it more engaging and exciting for kids to come to. We’ve been hitting fundamentals hard - grounders, pop fly’s, base running, etc.

The hardest part is if it challenges the 8-9 year olds, it bores the 12-14 year olds. And if it challenges the older kids, it’s too advanced for the young crowd.

I have a moderate amount of help from other coaches, but they aren’t exactly offering ideas. Just doing whatever I assign.

I’d really like some fresh ideas that engage all groups, teach them in an interactive way, and some fun competitions and drills to finish off the evenings on a high note that the kids will look forward to.

Thank you in advance!

Is latency that big of a difference maker in this game?

I play on awful ping (75-90) in middle of nowhere Wyoming. Ranked has become unplayable. I’m honestly experiencing the entire match different than my opponents.

It legit seems as if they’re all cheating, but I know that’s not possible in Plat lobbies.

I have to hit 7-8 shots with every gun, and shoot first by a sizable margin, just to get a kill.

I just went 32-34 and felt like I was in the seventh circle of hell the entire time. Been this way for months.

I’ll get the little synopsis on my screen that xXxDemonSlayer69xXx killed me in 3-4 bullets though.

I can’t for the life of me get it. I can see them first, shoot first, not miss, and lose the gunfight almost every time.

Before you comment “skill issue” or “get better”; I’m sure I could try that. But something just isn’t checking out.

I should note that about 3 days out of the month, I’m God and can’t lose a gunfight. Same latency, same Server (Salt Lake I think?), etc.

Hi folks!

Need some last minute coaching advice here. I’m running summer open practices for our league. It’s open to Baseball and Softball players ages 8-14.

What are some good drills, ideas, etc that could be applicable to the age ranges and BB/SB?

I’ll have practice baseballs and softballs, nets, a field, cones, etc.

Expecting about 50 kids per night, so definitely aiming to divide up into stations and maximize reps

Anyone else getting wild matchups?

Currently Gold II, just began playing Ranked since S2 (ran placement matches, got Plat 1, stopped playing).

Almost every match last night was consistently 3-4 Diamonds vs myself and other golds or low level plats.

One match had 2 Crim and 2 Diamond vs 2 Gold and 2 Plats

I won’t disclose where I live, but our District baseball and softball programs have a deep seeded lack of integrity; and I feel it needs exposed and corrected.

I’ll just give you a few examples of concerns and patterns I’ve seen.

- Drafts are not being performed per the District’s guidelines. For example, if a league has 3 teams in majors softball, 2 will be awful while the 3rd one has 10 girls that all have travel ball helmets, matching Boombah bags, and $450 bats.

- During end of season TOC’s, teams are cutting players (played with 12 all season, suddenly only have 8 for TOC’s and have to Pool Play a stud player from another team).

- Pitch count affidavit’s being pencil whipped, or flat out misrepresented. Prioritizing winning over player safety.

I know a lot of this is lack of integrity among the coaches and league’s, not necessarily the district itself. However - my suggestion when I contact the DA is going to be that someone from the district level needs to go around and conduct all drafts.

What else does your district or league do properly to mitigate this type of behavior?

I experience occasional dull pain on my back right rib cage area.

I’ve read about the potential gallbladder issues from GLP’s. Hoping this isn’t it as it’s not accompanied by the other symptoms (nausea, sharp pain, jaundice, etc)

I’m thinking it’s more skeletal due to the weight loss

Anyone else experience something similar?
