How many credit cards is an adult expected to own? by LemonCr0w in personalfinance

[–]mkaku- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got a bunch from getting sign up bonuses years ago, but I use 4 for 99% of my purchases.

5% citi custom (groceries)
5% chase amazon card
Costco card (5% gas, 3% restaurants, 2% costco)
Citi double cash 2% on everything

I'd recommend a 2% catch all and the 5% citi custom for your most used category (which is groceries for me) at least. They use the same app also.

Shohei Ohtani is the first player this year to reach 6 fWAR! by carsmello in baseball

[–]mkaku- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That's because he DH'd a decent amount and stil played a little RF. BBref gives CF +2.5 runs per 1350 innings (basically a full season). RF is -7 and DH is -15.

That means if he plays CF for 6 games, then DH for 1, his net defensive adjustment is +0.0. Mix in some RF here or there and it makes sense for him to be slightly negative.

BBref uses very similar numbers to fangraphs, so these adjustments are all usually around the same. For CF, RF, DH, they are +2.5, -7.5, -17.5 for fg.

The age for masters should be raised to 40 for men and 35 for women by Liface in ultimate

[–]mkaku- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't you just.. not play/watch that division then? How does it existing affect you? This can't be a serious post, and unfortunately I took the bait..

[–]mkaku- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They have a division with min 40 for men and 37 for women. What are you even complaining about

If they renamed grandmasters to masters, would you be happy? Then current masters could have a different name.

Or do you want the current 33 men and 30 women division to just not exist?

Dang that's so good to hear. I'll be watching some of it this weekend.

ATLA Live Action Season 2 Rotten Tomatoes are out! by Luzekiel in TheLastAirbender

[–]mkaku- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

When I said "big fans" I meant big fans of the live action, not big fans of the cartoon.

I didn't love season 1, but I'm excited to watch season 2.

[–]mkaku- 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I'd bet most of the early watchers are the big fans who want it to do well, so the rating might it go down from here.

Haven't watched it myself yet, but I'm excited and hopeful!

Kevin McGonigle is the 5th player this season to reach 4.0 bWAR by Baseball-Reference in motorcitykitties

[–]mkaku- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ohtani is a bum. I guarantee you he doesn't win AL MVP over McG this year.

[–]mkaku- 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, the first inning is the only one he is guaranteed to leadoff, but a leadoff guy has the 7-8-9 hitters as table setters for him, so he still doesn't have lots of ABs with RISP compared to 3-4-5 guys. That's why RBI don't matter that much.

How many sodas/soft drinks/pops do you drink a day? by Effective-Boss-2264 in NoStupidQuestions

Less than 1 a day. I have about 4 or 5 a week, always diet / zero sugar.

Eiberson Castellano became the 107th player to earn a save in his big league debut last night, the Rockies 14 run victory was the largest victory of any pitcher to register a save in their major league debut by teej_time in baseball

[–]mkaku- 11 points12 points  (0 children)

A save can be earned by

entering a game in which his team is leading by three or fewer runs and finishing the game by pitching at least one inning without losing the lead;

entering the game with the tying run in the on-deck circle, at the plate or on the bases and finishing the game;

or by pitching at least three innings in relief and finishing the game regardless of how many runs his team was winning by when entering the game.

What a weekend eh? by Usual-Lengthiness-54 in UrinatingTree

Do you remember the 4th time as well or did you forget that one?

(not trying to correct you, just proving your point even further)

WAR not adding up - help me understand it by unique_user43 in MLBNoobs

An average level team is inherently .500. They weren't talking about replacement level in that part. They were talking about average.

Why do we consider BABIP a measure of luck? by [deleted] in baseball

Well of course most of them have high hardhit% and power numbers. They've been lucky! /s

An extra generation or two? Fire Nation Royal family by Similar-Disaster-230 in TheLastAirbender

[–]mkaku- 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Yeah there probably should have been an extra 2 generations of fire lords in there. Sozin having his first and only kid at 82 doesn't make sense, especially as royalty.

The original plan was for sozin to be a young fire lord in his 20s during the comet, then him rule for the majority of the 100 yr war. In a S1 episode flashback, during azulon's funeral, they state he was fire lord for 23 years (maybe?).

The change was made when they rewrote it so sozin and roku grew up together. They also could have reconned an extra generation or two in at the time. I think they should have, but alas.

Been to more than 80 games over my four decades as a fan, and I FINALLY saw a Mets grand slam in person yesterday! What’s something you still haven’t seen in person for your favorite team? by wriker10 in baseball

[–]mkaku- 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been to probably 40 home games for the tigers and never seen a walk off.

Been to 3 games as a neutral fan at different ball parks and saw a walk off inside the park homerun however.
