@shannabisX @ronrule Fine, make it a $20 salad and a $100 steak. Same scenario. Why is it no one can ever answer this simple scenario. The pro tip people just resort to a “you’re a cheap bastard” argument.
English
Name a restaurant that you can get a $20 steak and $100 steak at? It literally doesn't exist. If you're in a restaurant that has $100 steaks and you can't afford a 20% tip then you shouldn't be there. Most people that do spend that much on a steak know how to tip. Usually the difference in tab means 1 table is four or five people and another table is one person. It goes by the check. Who do you know that's going to sit alone by themselves eating $100 steak? Your post is silly because it's not based upon reality.
English
Percentages make no sense for tipping.
I go to a restaurant and order a $20 steak. Guy at the table next to me orders a $100 steak.
If I tip $5 I’m considered a great tipper, but he’s expected to tip at least $20.
Why? The server literally did the same amount of work!
English
@theaceofspaeder Because that’s not the definition of a strike. Are you new to the game of baseball?
English
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.

This is the closest overturned call we've seen so far. An ⅛ of a millimeter farther outside and it's a ball.

@Roger774501171 @JamesLarson47 I’m not so sure you do. You don’t even understand the difference between worse and worst.
English
@JamesLarson47 I fully understand it , and I also understand it hurt the sport .
English
The worse thing to happen to the greatest game which is baseball is WAR. The absolute worse , to judge players on these metrics ,I will never be a fan sorry. So many great ball players I’ve watched , they might have lower war but was much better than a lot I see with a high war.

Rep. Lateefah Simon to Republicans: "4 out of the 5 of you last year posted on your social media the words of Dr. King... I would ask you, you kesp Dr. King's name out of your mouth."

Like many things, it's only a surprise that it took 100+ years for a team to figure this out.
They'll have to change the Infield Fly rule to apply to when there is one out.
Can't let the defense choose their runner.

#Marlins practiced this a bunch during Spring Training. It's a way to get rid of a speedier runner on the basepaths and/or see if the batter is caught napping and not running the play out.

@Math_files The problem with the question, besides it being stupid, is that the difference in pages read is 75. If you want the student to make a reasonable guess, then why put the exact answer? The way it’s asked, it’s reasonable to explain with actual math.
English
@GLabsPlus @Math_files For starters it’s stupid. It’s a simple basic math problem. Second, if it’s a must that you estimate, wouldn’t it make more sense to round 28 to 30 and 103 to 105, since that’s how most people do this sort of thing in their head.
English
@Math_files Math professor here.
Looks like the student got punished for being better at math than the teacher expected.
The question doesn't ask to estimate. It asks if 75 is a reasonable answer.
In any case, here's how I would estimate the difference:
28 ≈ 25
103 ≈ 100
100 - 25 = 75

@brooke_seward @MDSportsblog This seems to be a distinction without a difference. If you’re adjusting, you’re learning. I would say the vast majority of players that end up being good hitters, struggled initially in the majors. If you want to argue that he should have shown improvement by now I would agree.
English
@ledzepp8 @MDSportsblog You don’t learn to hit major league pitching. There is an adjustment period but you either can or can’t. Cowser and Mayo can’t. They can hit AAA pitching because the majority of those guys aren’t good enough to make the majors.
English
At what point does Cowser get optioned. Not giving up on him but he needs some work.
English
@CTaylor72301686 @MDSportsblog I’m not defending his ability or even saying he should be playing. I’m just saying that sending him down isn’t really a solution to his problems.
English
@ledzepp8 @MDSportsblog Going into your 3rd full season you should at minimum be showing signs of development, he has showed none so far
It’s not about development anymore, it’s about him looking like an AAAA guy
English
@Joey_G8R @ShowMeUrOsFace @OsCardGiveAways Well he’s not wrong. I wasn’t going to be surprised if they looked at that replay and still didn’t overturn the call.
English
@ShowMeUrOsFace @OsCardGiveAways I believe his words were "let's see how they can get this wrong".
English
I think someone from MLB reached out to Kevin Brown inbetween innings because he was rattled on that last read. Hang in there Kevin. We’re with ya!

@Bro_Code_x Stuck deep underwater? Don’t panic. Just swim to the fucking surface.
English
@nickcaponee @noahgittell This is true. It also doesn’t mean that strikes shouldn’t be called strikes.
English
@noahgittell The point of ABS was actually to stop balls being called 2 feet out of the zone being called a strike, but go off king
English
It is fucking hilarious that the point of ABS was to be sure when a strike is a strike, and now people are like “hear me out, what if a strike is not a strike?”
Bad Sports Refs@BadSportsRefs
You make the call: should pitches that are 99.9%+ out of the zone like this be a strike?
English
@RebeccaCNReid They had a child in 2012 and divorced 5 years later. Also what's your fucking point?
English
I wonder if his first wife, Anna Farris, who gave birth to their disabled child, also felt that she needed your husband?

Katherine Schwarzenegger celebrates marriage: “I do need my husband” ♥ She shared a video of Chris Pratt building a dollhouse for their daughters with a caption that playfully pushed back on the feminist notion of not needing a man. “I'll never understand when women say ‘I don't need my husband’ when I very much in fact do need my husband because who else would build our daughters a doll house?”
English
@BBGreatMoments Just walk him back to base and hit him the next time he comes to the plate.
English
Every catcher’s worst nightmare right here 😂👏 (via ahickman_5/TT)
English
@thamosdeaf There is a line being drawn. I believe they call it a strike zone.
English
Watching this filter everyone who is incapable of understanding that you have to draw a line like this somewhere is hilarious.
Codify@CodifyBaseball
about as close as it gets
English
@Bmac0507 @xan_desanctis Any part of the ball hitting the zone is a strike. Always has been. Just like any part of the ball hitting the foul line is a fair ball.
English
@xan_desanctis My gripe with abs isn't that being called a ball it's the ones where a tiny sliver of the ball hit the edge of the zone and are called a strike
English
I get why people want ABS, and I’m likely in the minority here, but I much preferred the experience of watching baseball before the replay/challenge era, human error notwithstanding. Using tech to optimize everything is boring.
Rob Friedman@PitchingNinja
Umpire incompetence or a Rulebook/ABS Mismatch issue? 🤔 This pitch may have been both: -a Strike according the rulebook strike zone (3 dimensional/starting at the front of the plate), and -a Ball, according to ABS (2 dimensional/measured at the middle of the plate).
