Big Mean Jerk posted:Is the new chud thing to respond to tweets about covid deaths with “ok now tell me what preexisting conditions he had”? Because even for them that’s pretty loving horrid. The new meme going around is that 94% of SO-CALLED COVID DEATHS are from other causes, like heart failure (caused by COVID), pneumonia (caused by COVID) etc. This is because of how death certificates are written up -- the immediate cause of death (heart failure) is listed as the cause of death, although the conditions that led to the immediate cause (COVID) are also listed. In other news, 99% of people who died "falling off of buildings" were actually killed by completely separate conditions, like internal bleeding, or skull fractures

hot take: awards this year should be given out for west/central/east rather than AL/NL. we effectively have 3 leagues with 2 divisions each this year and pretending that AL/NL is the meaningful high-level distinction this year is ridiculous edit: this would mean darvish has no chance at the cy, so never mind

Video games are insanely difficult and expensive to make, and they don't really get easier or cheaper. Consumer demands for content increase to fill the space they're given, i.e. as soon as the hardware improves, games need to get that much bigger. Making a live game like an MMO also requires a giant, expensive, custom server environment and even after release they're never done. Good marketing budgets are in the 10s of millions, easily.

The Pussy Boss posted:Did MLB ever say how they will handle tiebreakers if some teams don't play 60 games? Like if Team A is 34-26 and Team B finishes 33-25, is it a tie and they use H2H record, etc, to decide, or does team B win due to their slightly better winning percentage? They've said it's going to be winning percentage, which means for a while the Marlins had the #1 seed, having won 2/3 of their games. That's a ratio, and also a record.

Intruder posted:Do they put the cardboard cutouts up right away or do they wait until the 3rd and remove them in the 7th? I made fun of this all the time and then took an uber from DTLA to dodger stadium an hour before first pitch and missed the first inning. It's loving brutal getting into that park.

Bird in a Blender posted:My one game at Dodgers Stadium I walked up the hill to get there because I was staying close by. Seeing the absolute huge line of cars to make the turn to go up was a good reminder of why I walked it and didn't take a car. That place sucks to get to. Being surrounded by giant parking lots doesn't help either. Yeah, we walked down the hill after the game and stopped at a joint in Echo Park. That part was fine, vaguely reminiscent of rambling down Clark to get to the Belmont bus but stopping at Nisei and probably L&L on the way.

Shrecknet posted:Idle thought unrelated: how do you score a swinging strike three, dropped ball and throw to first? I wouldn't bother scoring it differently if the batter doesn't run. For a 2-3 putout or reaching on a dropped strike, I'd do these, respectively (with PB instead of WP if it's a passed ball)

If they do 16 team playoffs they need to expand the league to 32 teams. More than half the teams in the playoffs is stupid.

Under 2020 rules you can throw a 10-inning perfect game and still lose. Face 27 batters through 9, retire all 27. In the 10th, induce three groundouts. There, you lost.

I've never really understood how collegiate summer leagues work, they're amateur, right? So you play travel ball in the summer without getting paid, with the idea that you can develop and show yourself off to scouts?

Spoeank posted:I think that you should broaden your horizons and not be so quick to judge. Sometimes the replies are good to read to get you out of your bubble, as there's a drive into deep left field by Castellanos and that'll be a homerun. And so that'll make it a 4-0 ballgame. I don't know if I'll be putting on this headset again. Whether that be for the Reds or my bosses at FOX. God damnit, I hate that this is always how I'll remember Big Stick Nick
