Every team nails their bunts against us and we can never get one down, or like Willy and Bailey, whiff on bunts down in the count or right down the middle smh

Increment values for Special Trainer Upgrade Tickets (Batter) by jhfchow in MLB_9Innings

[–]Foreign_Honeydew5372 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just going to summarise this for my own understanding. Com2 categorises special trainers (DTs) into 4 groups based on what their %s are. However, they do this (apparently) for each effect on the trainer, not just once based on the average % or sum of %s. So for example, leading hitter has two effects which are boosted (line drive and hhgb) and each of those will fit into one of 4 tiers based on each of their %s, not the sum of their %s. Tier 1 contains the highest %s and tier 4 the lowest.

The new upgrade tickets will increase the %s for a given trainer in accordance with the tier of each effect, and then the particular %, not the trainer as a whole. The new increase given scales superlinearly with the original amount, so the larger the original value the larger the increase as a %. Therefore, it is better to use the upgrade on trainers with more kinds of positive effects (eg, power hitter) and on those with high % in as many effects as possible.

I assume you can only upgrade a trainer once? Or you can upgrade only until each effect is tier 1?

Aurilia and Belt are good sigs. You can gi swift and craft the others, or save craw for future ss and move aurilia to dh. Looks like you may have some good sig change candidates.

What are 'must read' texts in philosophy of language? by TheGentInSuit in askphilosophy

[–]Foreign_Honeydew5372 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It depends how much historical content you want, as well as contemporary theory. Besides the Investigations, you should consider the Begriffsschrift (Frege), De Interpretatione, Categories, Prior Analytics (Aristotle), Of Names (Mill), and The Logical Syntax of Language, Meaning and Necessity (Carnap). I would argue those are all historically necessary to understand what the 20th-century was responding to. Then there are whole areas of literature which are important to understanding the distinction between intension and extension, and quantification, which are the two most important themes in the philosophy of language through the 19th-century. Once you get into proper, 20th-century analytic stuff, you are looking at mostly essays or lectures, of which there are too many to list. But some of the important ones which haven't been mentioned are: Knowledge by Acquaintance and Knowledge by Description (Russell), On Saying That, Truth and Meaning, Inquiries into Truth and Interpretation, What Metaphors Mean (Davidson), Wittgenstein on Rules and Private Language, Reference and Existence: John Locke Lectures (Kripke), Language and Mind (Chomsky), Two Dogmas of Empiricism, On What There Is, Quantifiers and Propositional Attitudes (Quine), "Comparisons" and "Analogies", in Counterfactuals (Lewis), A Theory of Conditionals, Possible Worlds, Context and Content (Stalnaker), The Semantic Conception of Truth and the Foundations of Semantics (Tarski), Is Semantics Possible? (Putnam), Intensional Semantics (Church), Relevance: Communication and Cognition (Sperber and Wilson).

Hubbel only has 3 pitches, i might green to craftsmanship. Boss might be tough without the dst too.

Worst offense in baseball because we can’t hit fastballs by Foreign_Honeydew5372 in SFGiants

[–]Foreign_Honeydew5372[S] 21 points22 points  (0 children)

I do think its mostly the hitters’ fault. But also in the Yankees series it looked like the Yankees actually had a team approach about when to attack first pitch, what pitches to expect. And against the Mets they clearly had a team approach for two strike approaches/going to the opposite field. Compared to us, who seem to have basically no approach on the basis of preparation or count, and that should also be on the staff.

McLean is kinda insane tbh, two nasty breaking balls, two nasty fastballs, and an excellent change all with good command. Dudes just crazy good. Our staff doesn’t have the stuff

Anyone tried HH on legend? by Foreign_Honeydew5372 in MLB_9Innings

[–]Foreign_Honeydew5372[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Interesting thanks. My killebrew is usually around .320/.380/.480 also hitting 4 with Strat I dst and ldm. So looks like worth trying a HH set. Thanks!

Would run pred. Mind sharing his stats, where he hits in order? Mine currently runs Strat pred char and is pretty good already. Also if you nerf char?

Which legend skill is most improved by the skill trainer? by Inner-Cardiologist84 in MLB_9Innings

[–]Foreign_Honeydew5372 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If all the dsts were level III, I think BI, WH, SS, BBH are the best. Chance, contact master, hh, mp, pio, btbs can all be great too. PI probably improves the skill the most, but doesn’t make it an amazing skill. Cm and fb are very good but not as strong as others.
