@masters_do82355 @nut_history Here is the catch: youtube.com/watch?v=zCBMkx… Even that might have been better than Mays' purely from a technical standpoint. He ran seemingly 100 feet to get there. And if you want to consider context, it was in the 9th inning of a perfect game. Amazing.

@masters_do82355 @nut_history I even attended the Armando Galarraga (im)perfect game, and Austin Jackson made a similar catch out in center field (of which I had a great view of). What Edmonds did was a black swan event. Probably the best baseball catch I've ever seen.

I’m probably on a island here but I think this Jim Edmonds catch is super overrated

@RonDeSantis I tend to avoid singular opinions or publications. It's obviously highly subjective and there is usually an agenda. This is probably the best attempt at a definitive "objective" list I've seen based on a consensus rating system.

Among many issues with this list, Metallica should be higher. Also, how can you not have Rush, Skynyrd or Van Halen?

@EddyDen57874 @Jennnyyyyyy I am talking about preferences of conventions, not the veridicality of the calculations once the methods are being applied.

@int_jerk @Jennnyyyyyy Because they ARE.... Math is fact... answers can't change... not ever... Or did you really think that 1+1=2 NOW but was 7 in the dinosaurs age????

This is harder than it looks 😉 Difficulty - Extremely Hard 🤯

@EddyDen57874 @Jennnyyyyyy That's ironically part of what you were taught, which is precisely what is being questioned. You are treating popular conventions as though they are absolute and incontrovertible natural laws. There is no authoritative governing body when it comes to mathematics.

@int_jerk @Jennnyyyyyy Math is not something that is different in every school or country... What i have been taught is the same as what you have been taught but apparently you didn't understand it... Math is not an opinion... It is fact.... Left to right is never ever used in math....

@EddyDen57874 @Jennnyyyyyy ...that you have been taught. I reject the premise that there are absolute rules when it comes to deciding which convention to use, as there is no absolute basis.

@int_jerk @Jennnyyyyyy That is the simplest math rule there is....

@EddyDen57874 @Jennnyyyyyy I understand, that's the dogmatic claim.

@int_jerk @Jennnyyyyyy You NEVER EVER simply go left to right in math....

@EddyDen57874 @Jennnyyyyyy Nothing inhibits an Immediate Execution convention, regardless of how "standard" it is.

@int_jerk @Jennnyyyyyy 64 is a totally stupid answer because left to right doesn't exist in math

@EddyDen57874 @Jennnyyyyyy 64 is an objective-relative truth given the preferred convention of the subject.

@int_jerk @Jennnyyyyyy We can be sure it is definitely not 64... Left to right doesn't exist in math...

@EddyDen57874 @Jennnyyyyyy What I am therefore arguing is that I cannot answer the question with any degree of confidence unless provided clarification from the questioner.

@EddyDen57874 @Jennnyyyyyy That still demonstrates ambiguity, because the last fruit is ambiguous, thus indeterminate, and the evaluation logic is not stipulated either. So fine, put it that way. It could be 64. It could be 37. It could be expressed algebraically as 9+7×y=9+7y. Point still stands.

@EddyDen57874 @Jennnyyyyyy Yes, if the problem presented is valid and unambiguous. But it isn't.

@int_jerk @Jennnyyyyyy There can't be two answers

@Jennnyyyyyy That being said: If you assume the last fruit is a lime like the others, and apply the PEMDAS convention, then the answer is 37. If you accept that same assumption but apply a straight-forward approach to the calculation, the answer is 64.

@Jennnyyyyyy The answer is "Indeterminate", since the last fruit is apparently different from the others, and there is no clear way to establish its value.

@Roto_Frank He's the guy I wanted to be the closer the whole time. Could be top 5 at the position for fantasy purposes.

Abner Uribe picked up the save for the Brewers tonight in a one-run game. 60% rostered on CBS

@MLB That was a perfect launch angle on a day like today at Wrigley.

Oneil Cruz just keeps on crushing baseballs 😤 He homers on the third pitch of the game to open the scoring at Wrigley!

@theaceofspaeder Of course, pitches on the fringe of the zone are actually hittable. BaseballSavant even has a metric for "Out of Zone Contact %" and that number is way above zero for players. Jacob Wilson, for example, makes contact on a whopping 86% of his OOZ swings.

@theaceofspaeder If you believe that part of the strike zone includes unreachable pitches for the hitter, then the call for action is actually to change the strike zone itself. 50% is too indiscernable. Keep it simple and black-and-white.

Okay, can we do 50/50 at least? If more than half the ball is in the zone, it is a strike, if not, it is a ball. Because this is dumb. Sorry if that hurts you.
