Agreed. Tuna fish makes me want to vomit. It smells so damn bad. I wouldn't eat it if I was starving.

In and Out isn't bad....just moving to AZ from the midwest everyone here sells their burgers and fries as the best ever ZOMG it's like a super model in your mouth!:!@#!$*@)#@!

IMO they don't come close to meeting those expectations when everyone overhypes them.

Maybe it's not being overrated but overhyped? Plus it's a bit more expensive, so we usually end up at McDonalds or something.

Underrated - McDonald's app...you can get amazing deals on it if you can dictate your meal off of what deals are open

In N Out's fries are pretty bad, agreed. Maybe pricing is different state to state, but the one I went to in SoCal wasn't overpriced at all. I would get 2 Double-Doubles for under $7

Way underated: Coupon Calendars

Specifically referring to the Chic Fil A and Krispy Kreme calendars. Both cost about $8 and both pay for themselves after 1 use. Monthly savings is always a win....though some are hit or miss.

I have 3 Chic Fil A coupon cards.

Way overated: Paying full price

Overrated: MLB triple statistic (probably the most misleading offensive stat giving the number of "false positives").

What is a "false positive" triple?

Re: The ''Un-Official'' OS Over-Rated/Under-Rated Thread

What is a "false positive" triple?

Didn't take me long to find one, as apparently this one just happened last night:

http://m.mlb.com/video/v1399203583

Nothing was earned here for that stat. I'm not saying it should be an error (though I wouldn't count that out either), but if the outfielder plays it correctly it's just a single.

The triple is no doubt one of the most exciting plays in baseball because of its rarity, but its rareness is due to the finite field dimensions. AT&T Park and Fenway have triangles in their power alleys for this exact kind of hit (in which case you have to hit it hard enough to get it out there, so I'd say that kind is really earned), but don't expect to earn any triples in Great American Ballpark unless your name is Billy Hamilton. Case in point:

So, essentially a triple is just a fast man's double. There is no doubt that the top of the leaderboards in that stat every year aren't fluke players, but many fluke players crack that list because a lot of luck is involved in the play. For instance, if you ever hear "Billy Butler" and "triple" in the same sentence, then you know there's really only one possible way that's going to happen:

A ball that caroms the wrong way, gets stuck somewhere, makes an outfielder fall over, etc. are examples of "false positives" to me. Maybe I'm using the wrong terminology when explaining my meaning of it, but it seems half the triples that occur are from some freak kinds of plays, and not just naturally so.

The "earned" triple is not overrated at all, as it really separates what kinds of players should be getting them. I just don't like the others to pop up there that's like, "Well... give him the triple, but a lot of luck went his way."

That's all I meant.

That absolutely should've been an error on Joyce on your first example.


I'm guessing going by your logic you think inside the park HRs are overrated, too?

Oh, absolutely.

I do like when the inside-the-park HR is one of those mashed balls that hits the upper half of the wall to start off, though. It's like... so close that you might as well get one!
