    My halos had a mini hot streak that fizzled pretty damn quick.

    They are now on the other end of a losing streak.  Losing by 1 most nights...

    Ohtani has cooled off.  He needs to find a rhythm again and Trout should be back soon.

    And yes I am still delusional that they can make the playoffs.
    they have about as much chance at the playoffs as mike stanton has at getting 20 HRs this month.
    I think Mike actually has the better chance.

    Looked like Ramirez got a lucky punch that nailed Anderson?
    Sometimes it's better to be lucky than good.

    It could look like that....or that Timmy squared up like a bad ass and then flailed a few times, like something significantly less, leaving himself wide open for getting what he deserved.

    Who in hell played for those 2 teams?  Went for one of the Nomad guys as a guess, and was wrong.

    Fine outing by Charlie Sheen last night.
    7 losses in a row.
    8 games out of the 3rd wild card with 3 other teams ahead of them to boot.
    Fork is in them. They should have sold not bought at the deadline.

    I didn't see it but I've seen plenty of really bad umpiring this year, seems like more than in past years. Maybe it has to do with them having to monitor the pitch clock and their eyes can only be in so many places. Either way it's going to bring on robot umpires in some form sooner than later.

    I’m surprised so many people knew whom a rangers player w 200Ks was,  Besides NR I was surprised!
  • I've only picked pitchers for all squares and have 1 left I am struggling to finish.
    Keep thinking on it.  If I hadn't been stuck on all pitcher selections I would have had it....the guy I want to use in the open space left was used elsewhere.  Lol.

    I thought it was +100 for every miss?  You must have been better than to miss 5 if you scored a 479.

    I would think a baseball fan like yourself would like this game.  Is it because you need to use technology?

  • Finally took a guess and was wrong.
    Tigers / 200k.  The only great tigers pitchers I could come up with I foolishly guessed in the other 2 spots.
    This game is fun, wob.

    I was wrong as I missed 4. Still, I did real BAD !

    I didn't know it was +100 for every miss.

    Eh.  I get around 7 on average, and I usually have to revisit 3-4 times (when I remember) throughout the day.  
    As most of us commented....when we were young this would have been much easier.  (Memory was like a steel trap!)  
    I also strictly do not ask others for input or look any teams/players/stats up before entering guesses.
    Raw scores.  ;)  don't spend too much time thinking about, either.  Don't have too much time to spare.
    So, I don't see 6 as BAD.

    Twins Rookie of the Year was unreasonably difficult. I cheated so I won't post my score.

    Phillies.  No hitter?  Anyone?  124 pitches.  Years ago that was nothing.  Todays game?  Wow.

    Phillies.  No hitter?  Anyone?  124 pitches.  Years ago that was nothing.  Todays game?  Wow.
    It was funny - I couldn't remember the guy's name, even after he pitched 8 innings at Miami. Then I was like - it's the South St. pizza place with obnoxiously oversized slices (Lorenzo's) plus an "n" and I've been good ever since. Anyway he was really struggling in the 1st inning but he got out of it and had a lot of pitches. Then the bats went off in the bottom of the 1st. The whole time watching the Nationals still have zero hits it's like, Lorenzen has way too many pitches, Topper is definitely gonna take him out, this sucks. Then he's already at 100 and he goes out for the 8th, looks like he might get a shot at it. And Rojas the CF looks like friggin Willie Mays out there, catching everything in a 3 mile radius. Then Dylan Covey is warming up in the bullpen - this has to be some joke. So Mike comes out for the 9th and finishes it off.

    This was after Tombstone Sheriff Westin Wilson blasted a homer in his first major league at bat. And Castellanos hit his 200th homer. And Trea Turner has a 6 game hitting streak since his "undeserved" standing ovations. Philly Philly!
