Anyone tried the Immaculate Grid game?

9/9 106.   Astros/White Sox and Astros 100 runs cost me 76 points.  I didn’t have another answer for the former, had some better answers for the latter but wasn’t sure enough to risk my 9/9.

8/9/. 190.  I tried to get cute with Astros 100 RBI season and then went with one of our old friends for that box, skipping White Sox/Detroit.

Spoiler

empty, Al Kaline, Miguel Cabrera

Floyd Bannister, Glenn Davis, Craig Biggio

Carlton Fisk, Jim Rice, Nomar Garciaparra

I tried Carlos Beltran at first for Astros 100 RBI because Jeff Bagwell was the first player that came to mind and I knew that would blow out the rarity score.  But I was way, way off.

Bonus points for working Jeff Ballard and Jeff Fiorentino into today's grid.

8/9 with one too many Gamel guesses.

You could have used Murray again!

 

The six SD 200 game winners is tough. There are six. I see your answer so now I can think of three. When you look, it shows all 200 game winners, not just the Padres.

Yep, realized it after it was too late.  Dunno why but my mind flashed to Strawberry immediately.  Probably because I saw yesterday the Mets announced they're retiring his number and Gooden's number this year.

9/9 138.  I’m not too good with the Padres, and each of my Padres pitcher answers cost me 44 points, so 88 in total right there.  The two Moose listed I had no idea they ever played for the Padres.  Seems like a lot of formerly great players like to spend a golden year or two in the warm climes of San Diego before they buy their SoCal retirement home.

I got to use Kevin Brown today, and as an observer of the gradual process of starting pitchers being reliever-ed out of the opportunity to post traditional Hall of Fame numbers, he's an interesting career to review.

Same 67-68 WAR as Sutton or Palmer - he did it in 2000 less innings than Sutton.

I like the change to 600, helps not discombobulate work soon after it starts.

Orioles grid today.  I think @SteveAcould fill the remaining six boxes with former Orioles, too.

9/9 69

Spoiler

Reggie Sanders, Rob Dibble, John Franco

Scott Rolen, Mark Eichhorn, Tom Henke

Eric Davis, Wally Bunker, Randy Myers

I didn't think 33% of the people would remember Henke, he blew the score up.  Everyone else was under 10%.

Former O Kevin Gregg was out there for Jays 30-save guy at 2%.   I blew Jays-Cards, got 8/9, 130.

    • Loved seeing Eloy's enthusiasm at joining the team over the summer, but yeah it was way past time for this.  I didn't realize he still had options remaining, so I guess he's still around for a 'break glass in case of emergency' moment - hopefully he's done for the year though.  And declining the option is beyond a no-brainer, so that is in all likelihood it for Eloy as an O.
    • I've been fired up every day since my divorce hearing on 11/12/19. The third best day of my life. In all seriousness, life is good. Remember the 15 straight losing seasons? They're not perfect, but today is a new day and yesterday doesn't matter. Westburg, Urias, et. al. have returned, our BP is stronger and we have our best 3 SP set to go this series. We're 6-4 versus them this year, including taking 2/3 last time we were in NY. Pick your heads up a little bit. Will they win the WS? No, I don't think so. But guess what??! They've got a chance! I was at the game Sunday, and I'll be tuned in to every inning of the last 6 games. LFG.  
    • I don't think there is any way to be a sport's fan and not require some form of therapy. For me, OH is my therapy center. If you invest any part of your being in a sport's team, there is no prescription for tranquility. You just have to come to a strategy that best allows you to follow your team. Mine for the most part is to walk away and turn it off. Wife gets mad at me because I won't keep watching a game when we are losing or playing poorly. Says I'm not a real fan. She's probably right but I don't view watching poor performance of any kind as a good use of time. I also don't get too much into second guessing or modern statistical analysis. Not interested in coulda - woulda - shoulda and though I am awed by all the data, it's just too much for me to digest and use. I let you all do that for me. If I think it's over the top I may say something but mostly enjoy the read. In this way, OH has helped me get through the down years and the good ones too. And it's also great in between.  So, in some fashion, we are all addicted to a game - a team. The trick is to remember this is entertainment - not life. And that can be hard. Now beat the Damn Yankees and make me feel better cause the way you've been playing is killing me 😄!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    • This was the correct choice, glad to see them make it.
    • How about..." we wont win another game in the regular season"?
