Anyone tried the Immaculate Grid game?

[SteveA]

I really struggle with Rockies boxes in the grid, for some reason.

Mine was awful today.

Octavio Dotel is another Edwin jackson.

I do, too.  They're so far off my radar.

Mike Morgan, too.

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.

He was 35 years old when he stopped playing in 2019.  Do you mean to tell me he couldn't make the complete circuit around the MLB teams?

Wednesday and Thursday’s games were difficult for me. Today was the first time I got a sub-100 rarity score.

[SteveA]

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.

My rarity score was 38 today.  Can anyone beat it?

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%
