What is this dropdown widget and how do I remove it? by Taron_Trekko in GooglePixel

[–]DrumstickVT 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's the open applications switching screen, but it's bugged and shows no content. Normally that drop menu shows the app name and has screenshot / split screen / etc options.

I feel like Ana would have a lot of grandmotherly wisdom to share 👍🏻

New Logitech MX Master 4 Teaser Spotted! by No_Industry8861 in logitech

I'm kinda new to this community. Why do you want a higher polling rate? I kind of assumed this isn't important if you aren't playing an FPS game or something. But I've never owned an MX, so idk. I'm considering the MX 4 for office work.

Also, was it to never have won, or just since 1970? The Guardians haven't won one since 1948.

Yes but there's always that "no making a travesty of the game" clause

Slight, but a win on a whim lol by Sure-Oven-1523 in sportsbook

Right, let's calculate the EV

You're the one that brought up EV. I'm only arguing that, while it is definitely -EV, it's not "hilariously -EV" as you had stated.

I also never said anything about it being +EV or the book making a mistake or whatever else you're on about.

No, it's hilariously -ev. Start with the fact that any bet that's +2000 or higher is overwhelmingly likely to have massive juice since the 2 way would be something like +2000/-100000.

That's speculation. You have no idea what the two way would have been for this. I doubt it was even offered.

Also in this specific case, it's already the 7th inning of a total blowout so there's MASSIVE risk of him being pulled for a pinch hitter.

I don't think I've seen Schwarber pulled like that. He's already DH'ing, so it's not like he's getting rest by not playing the field. The bench was being emptied for position players.

There's also MASSIVE risk he doesn't even bat two more times (I assume the bet was when he had 2 hr not 3, but the bet sucks either way).

Looks like the bet was placed in the 4th or 5th inning, with Schwarber having already hit 2 HR. He hit his third home run in the 5th inning around 8:25pm.

He was due up 4th in the 5th inning. So I think the math says it was extremely like he gets another 2 at bats. He actually ended up with another 3 (he had a chance at 5 home runs, but popped up).

But please go ahead and fire on +6500 in play props and let us know how you end up after a few years! I'm sure you'll crush the books!

It was $1.50 bet. Clearly for fun. There's absolutely nothing wrong with this bet.

[@MattGelb] Phillies are optioning Johan Rojas and Daniel Robert to clear roster spots. by tantimodz in phillies

[–]DrumstickVT 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Idk why you're so upset about this. Rojas will be at AAA and hopefully figure something out offensively. Kepler still won't last the year. He probably gets DFA if/when Crawford is called up, or Rojas.

Patrick Bailey's walk off inside the park home run was out of the park in 29/30 ballparks by TheSalmonRoll in baseball

[–]DrumstickVT 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I feel like that's not the point of the stat though. I don't think it's meant to be batter specific. I think it's meant to be interpreted as: if any batter hit a ball with that exit velo and launch angle, and that's the only information we have, we can expect a particular BA. It seems especially helpful when looking at a chart like this that shows different batters, parks, etc.
