I wonder kinds kinds of rep people usually get?

My rep gained quantitatively usually goes something like this:

1. Funny posts

2. Good pertinent posts within a thread.

3. Similar interests/Pop culture reference

4. Good starting thread

5. Returned positive rep.

I don't get neg repped too often, but the last times were due to:

1. Facepalming someone's post. (silly)

2. Calling out someone for not actually going to games (the neg repper had a good point)

I've not received any spiteful neg rep outside of a flame war last year. I only neg rep rediculously offensive posts (a clear line has to be crossed).

I rarely have anything pertinent to add to a conversation. Ever. ;)

Well like I said before, I don't think about half of the posters with the most rep get most of their rep due to their baseball analysis.

Yeah, funny posts get a lot of rep as does giving out a lot of rep as does being friendly with plenty of others. I think another major rep getter is knocking or arguing with infamous posters.

The other things you mention do as well of course.

Can we make a list of "least valuable," or folks like me with a decent amount of posts and a small amount of rep. Could be interesting.

This is really cool, Tony, thanks for posting. Confirms what most of us know, that there is a great handful of knowledgeable posters on this bored who add great conversation to a franchise that has given us all headaches over the past 15 years.

I got most of mine (obviously) from music posts. Then

2. funny posts

3. pertinent posts (it happens sometimes... :slytf: )

4. friends

5. movie and pop culture refs (I give a lot of reps for those too)

I've never received any negative rep so I don't know about those categories. :halo:

    • Especially when you factor in the DL Hall trade too.  Suarez and Wells get bumped to the pen only if Bradish and Means are effective starters a decent part of the season.  Would the O's promote Povich or McDermott to pitch relief?  My guess is not anytime soon, but I dunno. A trade would for one or two arms would be best, but trading for good relief pitching is only harder now because so many teams can make the playoffs.  
    • But O'Hearn's numbers are inflated because he never bats against lefties, plus he's trash in the outfield.  If Santander's hitting does not improve this season of course you don't give him a QO, but that's unlikely.  He'll probably pick it up as the weather heats up.  Plus Tony plays at least a decent RF and can play first base too.   Like others have said, should the O's offer Santander a QO?  Maybe -- it depends on how he performs and how Kjerstad and Stowers perform.  
    • Wait, since when is money no object? It remains to be seen what the budget constraints are going to be with the new ownership, but if Santander is projected to put up 3.0 WAR for $20 million and his replacement (Kjerstad/Cowser/Stowers...) can put up 2.5 WAR for less than a million then that will be factored in.  The goal will never be about being better than the other 29 teams in a payroll vacuum.
    • I think you have a good understanding and I assume you’ve read Ted Williams Science of Hitting.  It’s all about lining up planes of pitch and bat.  Historically with sinkers and low strikes a higher attack angle played and was more in alignment with pitch plane.  In today’s game of spin and high zone fastball an uppercut swing gives you minimal chance and results in top spin grounders and swing & miss. 
    • I'll bow to your expertise even if it seems unlikely to my laymen understanding. 
    • Actually it will.  As you noted.  MLB pitch plane is like 2-3 degrees.  The more your attack angle increased the more you’re hitting a top spin tennis return.  
    • My point was an overly uppercut swing isn't going to result in that low a launch angle.  Not unless he is somehow consistently topping the pitches, which seems pretty unlikely.
