Getting flashbacks to that game they played against the Braves years ago where it was so cold nobody could throw a strike and the Cubs ended up coming back from like a 10 run deficit. The only MLB game I've ever left early. I probably could have stuck it out, but my dad was having a really bad time.

Wind chill is not real becuase humans wear clothes when it’s cold. It’s just sensationalist garbage from capitalist media I suppose if you are like doing some extreme naked mountain climbing wind chill could be a factor. It’s not a factor if you are wearing multiple layers in a crowded baseball stadium

Wind chill is absolutely real. Yes the temperature isn't physically colder but if wind is moving air around more rapidly you're going to lose body heat if you're not entirely bundled up. I guess if you're in a completely still air room then you're correct windchill doesn't matter.

Ok sure but people don't always wear enough layers for one reason or another and thus wind chill matters. Also even with layers that doesn't mean all heat is perfectly trapped.

Just put on more/less clothes and you'll be fine. Like tell me you've never lived in Chicago without telling me etc etc

Wind chill is something we deal with for 5 months of the year. Humidity for the other 7. But baseball? That torture lasts year round if youre a Blue Jays fan.

If you don’t wear any clothes then yes wind chill is real I said that in my first post However that is not a real situation for 999.999999% of the cases “real feel” is sensationally used is. It’s actually worse then just telling people the temperature. It’s misinformation

Wind chill describes an effect on apparent temperature, it's useful because it tells humans if they should bundle up more or less to mitigate that effect. If you've never stood on top of a windy L train platform versus at ground level it's very noticeable even if you're wearing a jacket and winter hat/gloves.

The whole point of knowing the temperature is knowing how to dress, and if how you dress is the definitive variable to whether wind chill is real or not, sounds like knowing the wind chill is important. "Wind chill is fake, it just tells you how much to bundle up."

euphronius posted:Temperature is very real. Not understanding your argument Cold wind blows heat (in the form of trapped warm air) away from the body. It also has the effect of cooling exposed surfaces, such as skin, by heat transference. The more wind there is, therefore, the colder humans (and other objects) will get, even though the temperature is in fact the same. This phenomenon is known as wind chill and every five year old living above the Mason Dixon line understands it intuitively

https://twitter.com/DanaONeilWriter/status/1775119632283607193 Gambling is the thief of joy, right now we have two low stakes scandals (Ippei and the Raptors guy) which should serve as an early warning to the leagues to manage this problem but they aren't gonna. (The article is about some equipment manager-tierr 5th year senior hitting a garbage time 3 to let Purdue win by 28. But the spread was 27.) You have NBA players openly accusing refs of point shaving right now, this is even easier for umpires to do. We will have a huge umpire betting scandal within five years on the current path, I believe. This is also key to baseball because the greatest scandal in the sports history was fixing games for betting purposes. Can you imagine if the Black Sox thing happened now, in the current media environment? You could never trust sports again. Even now when a dude starts raking out of nowhere I have to be like "is he on the juice?" because of the 2000s.

An umpire scandal is both super easy and kind of hard. Because of the nature of baseball even if you intentionally ring up the best hitter on a ball and immediately toss him when he says something that won't stop the light hitting shortstop being ninth from hitting a fluke 325 walk off down the line off the pole

Sure but fouling out an NBA team's best scorer also doesn't stop some bench scrub from inexplicably going off either. It's not about guaranteeing a particular betting outcome, just putting enough pressure on that it tips scales in the favor of that outcome.

The league offices take direct control of games in all the three major sports. It’s the most corrupt thing imaginable hahah. Game in the line in the nba? Better call the league office to see what they want to happen. This has been normalized

Even paying off the ump seems like a somewhat high risk prospect since you have to pay them enough to risk a high paying job with extremely high job security when it's so easy for random poo poo to ruin your entire wager And any bet of that size on a single game would immediately draw suspicion

Like I'm pretty sure you can put bets on a particular AB's outcome, and that's definitely something an umpire could have a massively outsized influence on.

Betting on a single AB seems pretty drat degenerate lol And betting on an out seems like it'd have terrible odds yet is the only thing an ump can really control (or a walk I guess)
