JakeP posted:But to call Mike Trout best of our generation is a stretch. ARods early career was comparable to Mike Trout and had great longevity. Mike Trout would have to have a very consistent career to be better than him. Sure you can say steroids, but thats a cop out, the pitcers were roided up too Yeah, you're right. If Trout stays healthy, I think he does it though.

I am still bitter that I could have essentially drafted Trout on my all keepers dynasty fantasy baseball league, and would have just given up the draft pick used to get Julio Tehran and some middling player I probably dropped since then

I do have on major problem with Mike Trout, he is right handed and I don't much care for that sort.

Limits of x/x as x approaches 0 means it is undefined. You should google for an in depth answer. Sin(0)=0, and sin(0)/0 = 1. it's got to do with how quickly sin(x) approaches zero as x approaches 0. but if you have x/x they approach equally and you end up with it being undefined.

yes. The answer is: maths. The other answer is why would you watch notoriously bad sport baseball when you can watch the most amazing spectacle on earth, which is Ashes cricket. Think on that, american'ts

Baseball is a good sport if you watch a lot of it. I do admit there is a hell of a learning curve on it.

Split Evenly Gum/Dudes 1 / 1 = 1 each 2 / 2 = 1 each 0/0 = doesn't work since there aren't any people to give gum to (it is irrelevant if there is 0 gum or 1 million gum if there are 0 recipients for the gum to be split to)

Reasons cricket is great: highwire sends me a jog of the Australian scorecard in the middle of the night after we have been demolished harder than any team in more than 100 years or something. How many times has highwire done that to you about baseball????? Keane is disqualified from answering this

I started actually looking it up x/x as x approaches 0 is 1, but 0/0 is called an indeterminant because you can have x^2/x, x/x, x/x^3 which all would be 0/0 as x approaches 0, and they would evaluate as 0, 1, infinity. SO it's confusing. Usually you'd use the derivatives and limits to determine the value, so hmmm. f(x)/g(x) as x approaches 0 = f'(x)/g'(x) as x approaches 0; x/x as x -> 0 = 1/1 as x approaches 0. Yeah checks out 0/0 is 1 by L'hoptials rule. All i remember was the sin(x)/x example, I swear x/x was taught to me as not being determined.

0/0 is meaningless on it's own, it has to be part of an formula expression.

If you can get decent tickets in the lower bowl without selling your organs, you can mix anticipation with a decent understanding of the game to follow it I imagine that's near impossible for NFL/NCAA in texas though
