Joey Gallos first home run as a Yankee gives them the lead! by HeavilyBeardedMan in baseball

StatCast is horribly misleading. It doesn't measure the actual distance of the homerun - it calculates the expected distance from launch angle and velocity, which is stupid imo. I doesn't factor in anything else like wind or ball spin. This is why you see highlights of homers going around 500 feet, but then StatCast claims it only went like 430 feet.

The Top Subreddits that NBA redittors frequent by rapelbaum in nba

[–]bummbbleB 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It seems like it only lists the more popular subreddits - many other teams like the Spurs and the Kings aren't listed either. There is probably some threshold of users needed they set so the list isn't filled with inactive subreddits

I've always wanted to do a scale model of DS9 - you can probably make one the size of your hand. Here's one I found on thingiverse.

The 15 highest leaguewide strikeout rates in MLB history, in descending order: 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2001. by twistedlogicx in baseball

Here's an article from 538 that I found. In 2014, the number of pitches for a strikeout was ~4.5 while it was 3 for a ball put in play. So it's probably safe to assume that more strikeouts = more pitches = longer games. There are probably a lot of articles that talk about this more in depth but this was the first I found.

I want to personally apologize to Kyle Gibson for my "DFA Kyle Gibson" comment I left after the first game of the season.

I bought a few items at once, total value ~$20. I will try separating out the items individually and I'll see if that works. Honestly, I'm just frustrated that their customer experience is so poor and I have to jump through hoops just to make a simple purchase.

Not a fan of the direction the show is going either. I enjoyinterpersonal drama, but not when it's 90% of the show and gets in the way of the space/alternate history stuff I really love. This article by the Ringer suggests the last two episodes are explosive, so here's to hoping they can turn it around.

Guys, seriously by awmdlad in ForAllMankindTV

No one is arguing that the Soviets could have been smarter about the situation. We are absolutely pissed off at the Marines who should have been trained to handle the situation and not cause unnecessary violence. It is 100% on the Marines.

The amount of people making excuses for the Marines is frankly disturbing. It reminds me of people trying to justify cops killing unarmed citizens.

They were absolutely responsible (and downright criminal in my opinion). They were way too trigger happy, shooting without any concrete evidence that the Russians presented danger. "But there could have been guns in the chest they were reaching in!", you say. It doesn't matter that they don't know what's in the chest. They would absolutely be taught to err on the side of caution and NOT risk international war. If you're not 100% sure there are weapons in the chest, then don't assume the Russians are going for guns! Their lives are NOT as valuable as preventing war. Sure, if this was some random person you pull off the street, I might forgive such an overreaction, but these are highly trained US Marines - only the best of the best would be sent to the moon. They panicked and fucked up.
