What about fouling a ball of your foot, breaking a bone and going on the DL? Wouldn't that be worse? He not only fails at his job on that day, but for weeks to come.
"what about getting shot while at bat?"

Yes, because at the end of the day , failing to do your job with the bat...even put it in play and hope for an error or a hole...is the worst possible outcome when trying to hit.

hey

again

5th time

nobody on base

a batter and a pitcher. thats it. fin. stop adding to my scenario.

a k is the worst way you can do your job as a batter. fin. end of discussion. log off.

"I never mentioned just batter and pitcher in my original scenario, but once I got called out, it's batter and pitcher, because driving runners in is not a batter's job"

and how much does 15 extra On bases really affect the player?? at most that is 15 more runs... would 15 more runs change your thoughts about the player??

Plus your math is a little off since 20% of errors are after the hit errors(baserunning)

Did you think that I was arguing that the errors make a big difference here anyway or the opposite? If you thought it was the former let me clarify that it wasn't (maybe your message is supposed to be addressed to Rock Strongo, not sure).

This is also why I didn't bother taking the time to look up the error data and just kept the estimate on the high(est) side. If it's obvious how little impact there is when looking at an overestimate that point only gets clearer when introducing more details and knocking that number even lower.

You said something was the worst and I presented a plausible alternative that would far, far worse. Don't get all salty just because you were proven wrong. Just get up, wipe the egg off of your face and move on to your next embarrassment. I'm starting to feel sorry for you.

you're not a very bright guy, FYI.

i was in no way proven wrong. a k is the worst way a batter vs a pitcher can do his job.

fact.

did you just claim an internet win as an adult?

i feel sorry for YOU.

Let me ask you a math question. Is 150 bigger than 1?

That goes beyond the pot calling the kettle black. That's like the pot stealing the kettle from its homeland and forcing it to work in the fields for free.
ive never once claimed an internet win on anything. i call people out on it.

Don't change the subject. Just answer the question. It's an easy one. My four year old knows the answer.

Is 150 bigger than 1?
depends on the equation or scale. in my scenario, 32 is greater than 64.

So, you either don't know or refuse to answer a simple question. That's cool.
I requested an analytical breakdown of the proposed question. I dont like bait unless i know why youre fishing.

Ps this bartender has a ridiculous ass.
