Anyone tried the Immaculate Grid game?

Thought I was good and then can’t think of one player who played for the Rockies and the Tigers.  I can impress myself with the occasional 2% obscure answer but haven’t come anywhere close to 9 boxes yet.   Two days.

I tend to go to bed around midnight, so a few times in the past week I have done it when it first comes on at midnight, before going to bed.

Maybe coincidence, but I've found I don't do as well just before bedtime as I do if I do it in the morning.   My brain doesn't readily come up with possible guys to think about.   You say "Rockies" and I'm like Galaragga, Larry Walker... that's it, can't come up with another name.   Last night I did very poorly.

So I'm going to show some self discipline and not do it until I get up and see if I can do better.   My brain works better in the morning than it does just before bedtime.

Who did you have for Braves/Blue Jays; Reds .300; and Reds/Pirates? Those were three squares where I could have shaved some points.

Didn't ask me, but for Reds .300 I had Ken Griffey Sr 1%. I almost put Cesar Geronimo, but wasn't 100% sure.  Can't help on the other two.

Rarity score today 119. Love seeing Orioles grids pop up. Posting from my phone so I can’t access the spoiler option but when I get to my laptop I’ll post my grid. Only 2nd one where I’ve got all 9, I think. 

We tied!  I got 119 too.  It was my 3rd 9/9.   After I said I wasn't going to play it late at night, I did it anyway and it went well,

Spoiler

Immaculate Grid 104 9/9:
Rarity: 119
IMMACULATE!
🟩🟩🟩
🟩🟩🟩
🟩🟩🟩
 

 

I imagine a lot of people guessed Bob Gibson for SL/300 wins but I just wasn't sure.

Well that cut and paste didn't work as expected.   Here are my 9, a row at a time:

Spoiler

John Lowenstein 0.4%, Jeremy Guthrie 2%, Gaylord Perry 24%

TJ McFarland 0.5%, David Cone 9%, Nolan Ryan 18%

Tito Landrum 1%, Darrell Porter 5%, Steve Carlton 59%

This is cool, we have some overlap!  

Spoiler

Jeremy Guthrie (Orioles/Indians) 0.6% Pat Tabler 1%, Phil Niekro

DJ Stewart (Orioles/Mets) 2%, Bret Saberhagen, Nolan Ryan

Eric Davis (Orioles/Cardinals) 3%, Darrell Porter, Steve Carlton

    • Hopefully it will be like giving a blood transfusion to a sickly patient. Yes some players haven't played as well this season, but it's mainly the injuries that have taken it's toll. The lineup gets much better if Westburg, Urias and Mountcastle are back. No longer does Eloy have to play and Holliday can be platooned. Plus O'Hearn will absolutely not see at bats against LHP like he has been recently at times. Webb and Coulombe provide depth to make the bullpen postseason viable. And Coulombe can close games instead of Dominguez assuming he's back all the way.
    • Gunnar stands to improve on: fielding and stolen bases. I also think he’ll have a 1.000OPS season or two before he’s done.
    • Maybe they were going by Tony's reaction, not realizing that with the winning run on third there wasn't any point in running.
    • looks like some of y'all are gonna be pissed when we win 2 of 3 against Detroit, at least one in NY and 2 o 3 against Minn.  I'd be embarassed if I were some of you....projecting the apathy and misery in your own little lives onto our O's.  This is a F upped sport and a team with talent like this can turn on a dime and start winning consistently at any time.  This isn't over.  I you're mad that your life hasn't worked out well......please don't bring the rest of us down.  
    • I commented  in another thread that as bad as the Orioles have been and they have been bad the one thing I will say about them is they are avoiding sweeps for the most part. They are losing series left and right but they aren't getting swept. 
    • Friedman and Dombrowski set a high bar, and the Astros are post peak.    Atlanta probably doesn't want to hear much about the Orioles misfortune. The Orioles level of play has been in the toilet half a season but I still think the good version of themselves is the AL's best positioned team to outplay the NL's best even this year.     We'll see if Soto and Judge are more than a 1-year thing, but even so that club has vulnerabilities.
    • I agree it's unlikely but not completely far fetched. I don't think he is a lock to get more than $20M in AAV, so he could decide to take it and then hit FA if he has a good or even better year. His talent level is in a similar range as the players who have accepted: Joc Pederson, Jose Abreu, Wieters etc.
