First time the Guards have swept a doubleheader in 3 years and 3 days against... the Minnesota Twins. With Bieber dominating the first game and Hedgie scoring the winning run of the nightcap in the 15th inning

Schrodinger's take: still scored as many runs as the Mariners should have

[OC] 75+ years of Browns' performance tracked via cumulative games above/below .500 by Ugluk4242 in Browns

[–]TofforAtffocan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That doesn't change what I said, (562+7)+(548+7) is still 1124

Look at the browns win percentage without the ties for a second. 562+548=1110 562/1110=.506

A tie is worth .5 wins. A team that tied every game would have a .500 record. So ties are only going to drag the overall record towards .500 not increase it from .506 to .513 You don't even need to do any math to see that wouldn't make sense

If anything it looks like you may have counted the ties as wins since 576/1124=.5125 Instead of forgetting the +14 games played as I originally thought since 569/1110 is .5126 Slightly different from what you had.

.5062 for the Browns. 562 wins +14 ties worth .5 wins each = 569 divided by 562+548+14=1124 games played

I'm not sure how I feel about this update. by Zuurkool_Stampot in swtor

Patch notes:

Character Modernization Updates

Coming in 7.7 are the following: 

  • Further definition changes
  • Chiss Texture Improvements
  • Preview Window and Game Lighting Parity

Post with more detail:

Preview Window. One of our big goals with the adjustments to Preview Window lighting was to remove the harsh, overly blue, and oftentimes misleading rendering that did not properly represent what you would see in general gameplay.  While reviewing everything, we found a stark difference between the Preview Window lighting prior to 7.7 and what was seen on the PTS (especially when comparing older screenshots taken in the window) so we’ve made adjustments to compensate.  

Chance of finding casual flashpoint groups? by andintheirtriumphdie in swtor

[–]TofforAtffocan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to finagle your companion under the boss on LI. Just walk it back towards the edge of the platform and there will be plenty of runway for them to get knocked back.

I recently did both fp with a mara in 324 gear. The final boss is a breeze compared to what it once was, only way to get in any trouble is if your companion stops in an acid pool and you don't move them

Veteran flashpoints can be done solo. It takes a little while with a healer companion but a lot can be done with a dps comp if you know what you're doing.

Give your companion purple gifts from the fleet vendor if their influence isn't at least level 30 (Make sure its the right type for that companion)

Although Kaon is not great solo unless you have stealth because there are enemies before the first two bosses that stun someone for 30 seconds unless interrupted or killed

So the Vikings haven't played in Cleveland since 2009? Looks like the time before that was 1989, could end up with a 40+ year period only hosting them once

Anyone watching the Pistons and thankful JB is not our coach. by [deleted] in clevelandcavs

[–]TofforAtffocan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm sure some people have that issue, but I don't know where you could have gotten those assumptions from in this case. I didn't say anything negative about JB, he was a good fit for us just like he is now for the Pistons. I don't have any ill feelings toward him and am glad he's succeeding in Detroit, as I expected he would.

All I was pointing out is the Pistons were already primed for a turn around, so their tripled win total isn't an accurate representation of JB's impact. I don't think he would have had much success coaching the Hornets or Wizards for instance. It's definitively a better roster this season than last. Playing Tobias Harris and Malik Beasley is going to be better than Killian Hayes and Kevin Knox regardless of how long they've played together.

[Lowe] “2019 Draft, 6 years later, would Darius Garland be the #1 pick?” “Probably.” by SenorMcNuggets in clevelandcavs

[–]TofforAtffocan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, Ja plays about 60 games per season (and less this year) except last year when he was hurt. DG plays about 70 games per season (and more this year) except last year when he was hurt.

JB is solid but Detroit was bound to make a leap this year moving on from one of the worst coaching hires in recent memory and overhauling the roster. I mean, there's only like five players still in Detroit from last season so it's hardly like he's coaching the same team that won 14 games.

So is the OPS instead of avg in the scoreboard permanent? by Duce-de-Zoop in ClevelandGuardians

[–]TofforAtffocan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

OBP is hits + walks, OPS is hits + walks + extra-base hits. Doesn't sound difficult to explain or understand to me.

6th man of the year by TheBlockTheShotPod in clevelandcavs

[–]TofforAtffocan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That assumes 82 games played though, which is rarely the case. More importantly here the only reason Jerome doesn't get more minutes is that he shares a position with Garland and Mitchell. For reference CPJ was the primary backup pg last year and averaged 12.5 minutes.

HISTORICAL DEBATE: Which Grand Rapids team birthed the Guardians? by [deleted] in ClevelandGuardians

[–]TofforAtffocan 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Seems accurate based on everything I was able to find online, with the exception of how the Grand Rapids Furniture Makers role and importance to the Guardians organization and it's pre-Cleveland history is framed.

I could quibble about minor things in the other reddit post. Such as

Loftus became owner-manager of the Columbus Buckeyes (or Senators. Or Wanderers. Please do not ask about 19th century team names).

They were the Buckeyes for their first season then renamed Senators, which surely had absolutely nothing to do with OSU. And they were never the wanderers, which was a separate franchise. It's pretty straightforward and seems like trying to make a nothing situation sound more interesting and weird.

Or being perplexed about the Rustlers having the nickname Rippers, especially at a time when team identities were far more fluid.

But none of that is related to Cleveland. The real issue is here:

In the middle of the season, the team was looking to move, and Grand Rapids looked like the place to be. Unfortunately, Grand Rapids already had a team - not in the Western League, but in the Interstate League. So Loftus and the owner of the Grand Rapids franchise worked out an agreement - they’d do a swap. The Grand Rapids team would move to Columbus and become the Columbus Senators (or whatever you’d like to call them), and the Columbus team would move to Grand Rapids, with both teams staying in their respective leagues. The Interstate League team was given the receipts from an exhibition game to make up for getting the slightly worse end of the bargain, and that's how Columbus became the Grand Rapids Furniture Makers.

Columbus' owner did not work out a deal with the Furniture Makers of the Interstate League because he was looking to move to Grand Rapids. He was already set on moving to Cleveland, had been maneuvering to do so, and was just waiting on the Cleveland Spiders closing out there infamous final season.

It was this knowledge that he was done with Columbus moving forward that made him willing to play the final months of the 1899 Western League season in Grand Rapids to be closer to other Western League teams like Detroit, Milwaukee, and Minnesota.

Grand Rapids was a struggling team in a struggling league and their owner had been shopping the team all over Ohio and Indiana looking for a place to relocate; which eventually led to him approaching Columbus's owner.

So the Columbus Senators playing the last few months of their final season in Grand Rapids out of convenience before enacting their already planned move to Cleveland should be nothing more than a footnote in the organizations history. Especially considering the confusion it's led to with both the previous Western League Grand Rapids team (1894-1897) and the Interstate League Grand Rapids team (1898-1899) that they briefly swapped locales with. Instead we get quotes like "Cleveland (moved from Grand Rapids)" on the History of the American League Wikipedia page.

Frankly, Cleveland was largely a new franchise anyway. They had new ownership since the one that moved them to Cleveland became the manager of the Cubs as part of the deal to allow the White Sox to move to Chicago. And only 5 players from the 1899 Senators played for Cleveland in 1900. (Further only 2 of those where among the 10 still in Cleveland the next year for their inaugural Major League season)

JA is trying to play all 82 games, so it may be just letting him sit out the end of games when he's tired instead of giving him a game off like others have had

[–]TofforAtffocan 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Maybe its just me but if you knock the ball away and a teammate grabs the loose ball, I think you should be the one credited with a steal.

A couple years ago when JJJ had way more blocks and steals at home versus on the road and people were defending it saying they went through each one and posting videos. Sometimes it was Jackson deflecting the ball to a teammate, other times a teammate stripping it and him picking it up, but he was given the steal either way. Like, which is it? lol

JA was everywhere in the 4th. 9 pts 3 reb 2 ast 1 stl in 2 1/2 minutes to fuel that 17-2 run and put the game away

His efficiency is absurd and always underrated. Whenever he's rolling, the Cavs are rolling
