I love how it's just a savings account with enough randomized bullshit in front of it to trick our stupid brains into thinking its exciting.

It is more that you would have to teach professional players to ignore their position in the line up for it to work.

The smallest changes, even subconscious ones, can make great hitters awful. Weird things can affect a hitters pitch selection and approach, and good pitch selection is a huge part of successful hitting.

Your top 3 OPS players will almost always be batting somewhere 1-5, Your top OPS players will nearly always be batting 1-3, so the question is how much of a benefit there is in that 0.8 extra at bats per week vs putting your star players out of their (admittedly self-imposed and cerebral) comfort zone.

Your lineup is already fairly organized by OPS, and managers take it into account in creating lineups. But there is no point in putting your 2 spot .1100 OPS player first ahead of someone with a .900 OPS if he will drop his performance down to .1000 OPS in the 1 spot and your leadoff drops to .800 in the 2 spot.

People get rich making apps every fucking day. What makes this kid any different?

He isn't getting rich off his apps. He is lying or being deliberately misleading in order to generate interest.

It is a thing. You are streets behind man.

Yes, insurance should never increase due to payouts, unless the cause of the payouts was an event that increases risk for future payouts.

That is why your insurance does not go up for auto, for example, when you have a not-at-fault accident. You getting hit by a drunk driver going through a red says nothing about you as a driver, so you stay at the same category of risk (vs being the drunk driver going through a red)

Since it is very common in healthcare, auto, and theft insurance for a payout event to be used as evidence you are more likely to need future payouts, it feels like a normal thing, but it really isn't.
