@neiltyson @alkemann I’m going to assume he meant “metric system” and not “decimal system.” Surprised you didn’t correct that.

@BJNemeth@neiltyson metric is a decimal system. Though truthfully any base system that is fine with me. Specially 12 :) - 1 more reply

@neiltyson@alkemann why talk about baseball as a scientist and rational man? Weird watching other grown men play games. Oh the resource. -
@PNauticExpress@neiltyson@alkemann I see no harm in passing time w/sport. -
@Sawyer666
@neiltyson@alkemann until we can deflect an asteroid or feed everyone I see issue with passing so much time/resource/brainpower -
@PNauticExpress If anything is a waste of brainpower it's worrying about whether or not baseball is valid enough for society's time. -
@Sawyer666 so thinking about different paradigms is a waste of time? How would they ever emerge. What hurts in you that you veer to the rude
-
@PNauticExpress Everything is chill man. Not trying to sound rude just bouncing perspective.

@neiltyson@alkemann Using the metric system when talking baseball makes things easy. The distance from home plate to 1st base is 2,743.2cm.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

@neiltyson@alkemann I think he did mean "decimal...". No decimals in the baseball stats, when in fact many of them are (eg batting avg...)Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
