[@Haroldm814]

I really miss the graphic showing the Dot Balls, W (for wickets) and the amount of runs scored. I think you guys simplified it way too much.

[@jomboy_]

This is was a quicker turnaround and smaller crew so we had to simplify the bug. The big one will be back for franchise league

[@kylekujawa]

So it sounds like we should not care about the quality or even watch since it doesn’t matter

[@jomboy_]

@@kylekujawa No, still a huge production that gets a lot of care and attention and a ton of awesome games and drama to come. You can treat it however you want.

[@13tsted]

The budget is smaller, I would much rather see very slight and non content altering changes than not have games to watch

[@Kyle_etc]

@@kylekujawaif you know anything about sports production, you should be able tell this is a pretty decent high level of production quality. I’d say it’s around the level of AAA ball and D2 Football

[@Arjit00]

That's why running call is one of the most crucial things in cricket.

[@TheNookOfficial]

Jolly's plate approach is giving me fits and I love it. He will go wherever he needs to get to a ball and mashes the hell out of it

[@kragger99]

Addition of the garbage can was a great idea. Really helps to make throw outs on the bowlers side a makeable play.

[@WarehouseGames]

Yeah the skinny wickets were kinda impossible with how quick you have to be on the throw

[@ben2976]

Nah man......Drew Davis showed what can be done last season. We need to see those bails fly....so awesome when those little sticks fly off the big sticks. Maybe you could have a half a bin filled with sand and the wickets and bails in the sand?. Get those little sticks flying off the big ones.@@WarehouseGames

[@WarehouseGames]

we'll try and design somethign that explodes more like the wickets. we just need more surface area to hit

[@ben2976]

Awesome thanks...yeah loved that moment in your most recent Scorchers break down where Hardie (Ithink) threw the ball deep from the outfield, Berendorf (I think) received the ball and knocked off the bails and for good measure smashed the wickets again with the runner well out.@@WarehouseGames

[@jasonyang5413]

Garbage cans are what we typically use as wickets in backyard cricket in australia so its a pretty fitting choice haha

[@Pro_Pup_]

What an ending! Can’t believe that was only game 1! This will be a really fun season!

[@ayydubs987]

the penik ad read was killing me 😂😂 he’s so funny. so much happened in this game, WOW! i didn’t think the goodfellas were aggressive enough running tbh. it seemed like they could have scored a few more runs, even if they just got one at a time. every single run adds up. and it looked like it was over for the rippers, but what a comeback late in the game. they made it way closer than i thought they would having to overcome two newcomers. bravo, everyone 🎉🎉🎉 cannot wait for the rest of these games!

[@patdry]

An ELECTRIC start to the captains league!!! So good.

[@wamo90]

15:45 That might be the best in-video ad I've ever seen

[@jasonbooth759]

So glad the warehouse games are back!!

[@Redsox4444443]

Like the scoring changes. The breaking balls and back wall scoring are fun.

[@tyexclamationpt]

loving the new format of the Captains League & the creativity with the ad reads on this one. keep it up!

[@L0w5ive]

The simplicity of the new rules makes the game easier to watch and easier to keep up with especially for the people that doesn’t know the baseline of cricket. Although I missed a few games before, this format made the game easier to follow. Just because it’s a smaller crew the content is still great. The sport is good and the Jomboy media crew is even better, very fun and charismatic.

[@logani54]

Guys, they could have just took the money and read out ads like anyone else would have. Instead they took time and filmed clever commercials! No big creators care about the audience quite like the Jomboy team

[@DemonHunterMOG]

This is like the last minute before leaving work. THE HYPE.

[@ShaneT5S]

I loved the first Ball in Play league! I'm excited for this

[@michaelhockus8208]

this is my first warehouse game video, great content and competition! also awesome production, thanks for the video

[@baseballfan1918]

Love this series. So looking forward to all this great Warehouse Games content that is coming out.

[@sethhigginbotham3814]

A lot of people are complaining about the quality. This is still fantastic quality jolly don’t listen. You have all the graphics you need up and commentating and been great as well

[@brofroamothamo]

This has become my favorite channel! The new formats made it all the better!

[@jnerdsblog]

As a fan of both baseball and T20 cricket (and cricket in general), I LOVE that Ball in Play continues to be a thing!

[@michaelgliddenforteski6576]

Yesterday was my birthday and getting to watch game 1 was an awesome gift. Thanks, guys!

[@kenSpiffyJr.]

Awesome, excited for this thing to get going.

[@leibmenter2331]

Just watched the whole thing and still have no idea what the fuck is happening, but that was FUN.

[@devonburkhalter9840]

Go back and watch the full ball-in-play league from last year, it will make a ton more sense after that, trust me

[@FakeNameStated]

I run a teen program at a B&G Club, I would like to play this with my teenagers in our gym. I think it would be cool to have a short breakdown on equipment used like that ball, because I remember you all saying that ball was hard to come by.

[@Nizzleson]

A tennis ball wrapped in electrical tape is the go-to cricket ball for hundreds of millions of people worldwide.

[@vatsalagarwal4055]

You could take a tennis ball and tape half of it with electric tape to get more swing when bowling/ pitching. You can also,.I'm pretty sure use 2 garbage bins as the strike zone.

[@shawnaroo]

That was really fun to watch. Definitely will be curious to see if the back wall starts coming into play more as the tournament goes on.

[@pickeledpeanuts1127]

Dang. Even the ads are good

[@squillz8310]

What a CRAZY game to open the 2024 Season!!!

[@CaveManELK]

I’ve the warehouse and love this game. It’s crazy how entertaining you’ve all made this sport. Definitely miss the dot ball graphic but when games are this fun, who needs it lol 🎉

[@ViperKingYT]

Crazy ending! Can’t wait for the next one

[@somekindofchris_]

First time tuning in to ball in play and damn it’s so good.

[@justaregularrhino6529]

holy shit my name is ryan cohen. aight yea rippers are my team, LFG RIPPERS

[@ryancohen2513]

ryan cohens must support all ryan cohens, let's go rippers!!!

[@gotmilshtein]

Fantastic! What an ending!

[@TTstealthsauce]

Good times. Love the content.

[@justinbodenschatz3796]

Yepp this was way more entertaining than I initially thought I’m in

[@devinbarney505]

Jimmy, you and your team are doing amazing work.

[@ninjasuperman9538]

Shoutout Production crew! yall are GOATs

[@Radmetalmonk]

How do you keep out doing yourselves with these warehouse games? Cheers, great stuff as always.

[@joshackley2496]

I love penik. Dude is electric

[@cwolf208]

And an athlete

[@SalusanTaurus]

Something really funny about Jimmy's prelude of 'You'll pick it up, you're smart, you're attentive.' and then there's a bunch of comments not even realising this is a totally different competition and production to the main BIP League.

[@ben2976]

So the wickets will be back at the bowlers end? Kelsie and Paxton will be back and the fan area will be behind the strike area for the main BIP/Warehouse Cricket? I missed those things today....as well as Rosey of course.

[@WarehouseGames]

Franchise Series: Rose a full broadcast crew. Pre and Post Game Show. Crowd in both corners of the warehouse like Blitzball. Bigger scorebug. Staying with a bigger wicket behind the bowler to induce more action.

[@SKotris84]

I'm not really a baseball fan. But I'm a huge Jomboy Media fan, I'm a huge Savanah Banana fan, I'm a huge We Got Ice Fan. It's like they make baseball related content that doesn't take itself seriously at all, and it is completely entertaining.

[@stevenseguin3523]

The backwall changes a lot. Im so excited for this!

[@Vraisemblance]

Let's goo!! 2024 warehouse games is gonna the biggest yet!

[@emilyschreiber3834]

The above angle of sales Lucas’s running cracked me up lol Such a fun first game

[@kenSpiffyJr.]

That was a great first game!

[@mky4793]

Great job WHG team! You really hit a 6 with this one. Haven't been this excited for games since floorball 2!

[@chasebingaman]

Good fellas have major pinstripe strong energy, but BBD for bowling makes them even better

[@NithinJune]

i liked the bails on the wickets. It was really satisfying to see them fall off the wickets. bummed to see them gone

[@frankiesheehy224]

Ball in play is back! New graphics look really clean

[@TownianScout]

This is my very first time watching the ball in play game…I was certainly missing out!

[@JaxD96]

Hyped for the captains league

[@Gibbsbc1]

I hope the add the pitch graphic back, it was really nice last time. what a great game!

[@philipkelly7369]

Are we sure that Ryan Cohen isn't actually Chad Powers, college quarterback extraordinaire?

[@senrusho]

Wow, what a crazy game

[@UberTastical22]

Love the rule adjustments

[@TheTEN24]

This was an awesome first game glad jolly and the boys hung on

[@hergetp]

Jimmy kicking it off with some serious self affirmations "You're smart. You have an open mind. You will be attentive." Need to repeat this to myself on an hourly basis

[@joenick2111]

Really great to see Cohen have a moment there, hoping its the start of a good run!

[@ben2976]

Yeah, the new players did well.

[@shoethrower55]

Ball in play is always gold!

[@jimmyjoeman]

lets gooo return of the ball in play league!

[@SuperBKDK]

I LOVE the low budget wicket. Who came up with that?

[@Mziff9]

22:17 BBD is an ACE. The breath and look back to second base was elite 😂

[@brandonwatrin3819]

YAY I'M SO EXCITED ITS BACK!!!!!

[@fatman.06]

Great start to the tourney

[@crazdasian]

That was wild!

[@shone4947]

Insane start

[@ggsnubs]

Well that was awesome 👏

[@fatman.06]

Finished the new we got ice video just in time to catch the premiere

[@mikemckittrick3263]

Bowling Alley Penik is an elite athlete

[@UberTastical22]

amazing content!

[@lukepowell1446]

What a start, ball in play league always bringing the drama

[@austinhelgeson865]

ROB WENT CRAZZY ON THE HITTING

[@zachbartel6001]

Amazing match

[@SilkBuckets]

i love ball in play so much

[@jeremyjeremyjeremyjeremyjeremy]

great ending with a shadow of a fantastic ending

[@canalcoloradoaado]

thats bets with more shenanigans, cool

[@Ian-ns2dt]

Fucking spectacular game, immediately sold on the sport and the tournament

[@Anytth1ng]

The finger point by panik is freaking hilarious

[@jayohlsbs1271]

Lucas and Ryan definitely showing some of that rookie defense in the warehouse but you could see things begin to click for them towards the end. Lucas hopefully pulls out some of those wormy saves and commits to some dives, cuz I can see him making some plays. Plus they can both mash. Once they get comfortable I can see some bigger hits popping off. Don't sleep on the Rippers.

[@interimchanger]

ahhh the padres hat from japanese heritage day is making me so jealous! my wife and I WENT TO THE GAME when they gave them out but had no idea that it was a special theme day and only figured it out when we saw everyone wearing those hats and also heard Midnight Pretenders by Tomoko Aran on the speakers alas we never got the hats :(

[@ryancohen2513]

fun story on that hat! I worked at summer camps for a long time and a dad wore that to dropoff one morning. Told him how awesome I thought it was. At pickup that afternoon, he brought me an extra he picked up at the game :) still one of my fav hats!

[@parkerhyde9559]

Whoever gave Jolly the okay to wear baseball pants did him so dirty.

[@swamp2tired]

Ayo Lou ROCKING that hat. i'm mad ill never look that good

[@jbchesskid]

Penik always has good awareness and game IQ. The goodfellas are very well-rounded. This game shouldn't have even been that close, Lou had a bit of an off game for his standards at the plate and Jolly had basically as bad of a fielding game as he'll have all tournament

[@jakepelenis4524]

Let this be a lesson to anyone who tries to wear a fedora ever again

[@ayydubs987]

😂😂😂😂

[@andrewbarritt8599]

Great first game. A little sloppy on the defense but that added to the drama. The only part I don't like is having to wait a day for a new game lol!

[@ayydubs987]

jolly’s missed plays killed me!

[@ben2976]

Yeah Jolly wasn't his usual self.@@ayydubs987

[@arrowsonly3180]

it looked like Doyle broke his stride. he might have scored.

[@BenTheBlueGuy]

I have zero idea what's happening, but at least their reactions make it clear when something good or bad happens.

[@wallacecreed4746]

Excellent new scorebug

[@Tampafan33]

Doyle running is like watching a a looney tunes cartoon 😂😂

[@TheTrippleTKA]

Really wanted to see a last ball showdown! But what a game still! Is there a OT rule??

[@FrostedClarinet]

What’s the over/under on Doyle’s hat falling off? Lmao guaranteed at least once per game 😂

[@ben2976]

With the 4 rule behind the strike zone this could open up the possibility for one of those flip shots/flicks behind for an easy 4 boundary which I've seen in cricket. I'm not sure what they call it but I've seen it often....it's an amazing shot

[@ben2976]

The scoop or ramp shot I just remembered.

[@BigBlack81]

Warehouse, I BEG YOU: KEEP THIS FORMAT FOR THE FRANCHISE LEAGUE. PLEASE. Make an executive decision, do what must be done. But never change this format. It's simpler, it's much more run inducing, the cameras allow for much better, much quicker rule decisions...THIS is the format. Stay with this. Please.

[@dylonturner5039]

I’m confused on the points for standing at the end? I thought the team that wins the regular season out of all just gets 1 point. Then in playoffs 5 points,3 points,1 point, and 0 points? Please explain?

[@brianeleighton]

The points they were showing at the end of the game were for the regular season standings for just Ball in Play. If the team wins their game, they get 3 points. If the losing team manages to close the gap to less than 10 runs, they get 1 point.

[@TheCounterChris]

Love this sport. My suggestions would be to play with the plastic cricket bat to make scoop hits more viable. I also had a thought about 3 outs to end the first inning, but 6 outs total. i.e. if you end the first inning with only 2 outs, you would have 4 outs to end the second inning. In my opinion this would give teams something to think about before going for free runs on the last ball of the first inning.

[@ShootYourShot.golfvideos]

Penik is smelling the pumpkins!!

[@EarthToBryce]

Ok, can we all agree that Jake’s team is finishing last 😂

[@Official_galaxyFN]

[@ivanmarkel1357]

Go Rays

[@EndzoneProd]

@@ivanmarkel1357yessir

[@morthaug]

And it’s not his fault lol

[@WhydTheyChangeOurNames]

Nah im still saying Jake is probably last

[@tyberiksen]

Great ending!!!

[@ocoop]

perfect example of why teams should have a safe word , as in don’t run, when a ball misses

[@shoeshine2914]

I wish the score bug would show how many good pitches remain, it’s not as easy to track the progress of the game without it.

[@jomboy_]

It’s 3 overs. So if it 2.2 (2 overs and 2 balls) that means there are 4 pitches left in the inning.

[@itsyeboi631]

I had no idea this was back
