2024 Game Inside the Game / 2024 GIG Round 2
Last post by Kyle -
Gents, I'm very sorry for dropping the ball and completely missing a May GIG. I'm finally up in the mountains with the wife for a week of relaxation from a crazy first half of 2024.

I know' we're 10+ games away from June on the MSB schedule, but Brendt and Rod did 2 games the other day, so let's go ahead and get June's GIG up now. Deadline to answer is before June 1's games are posted - I'm guessing we might have a week between now and then. Official deadline coming soon.

GIG #2 (month of JUNE): Pick any full time hitter from YOUR team.
Honor system (but I may have to check) that you will choose a player who checks all these boxes:
- He’s slated to play at least 80% of your games in May.
- He has 450 or more real life ABs.
- He is NOT a platoon player.
These predictions are for stats accumulated ONLY in the month of June.
Each team will play 28 games this month (one day off on the 15th, and one on the 30th).

Name your player: ___________

Predict the player’s JUNE stats ONLY (not accumulative from April to June):
1) AVE (within .010 = 2 points, nail it = 5 pts)
2) OBP (within .020 = 2 points, nail it = 5 pts)
3) SLG (within .030 = 2 points, nail it = 5 pts)
4) How many Runs will he score? (within 3 = 2 points, nail it = 5 pts)
5) How many RBI will he have? (within 3 = 2 pts, nail it = 5 pts)
6) How many Strikeouts will he have? (within 3 = 2 points, nail it = 5 pts)
7) How many Doubles will he have? (within 3 = 2 pts, nail it = 5 pts)
8 ) How many HR’s will he have? (within 3 = 2 points, nail it = 5 pts)
9) How many Walks will he have? (within 3 = 2 points, nail it = 5 pts)
10) Will he have a Game-Winning RBI? (no = 2 points, yes = 5 points)

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Landlubbers @ ACL's
Not a good day to be a starting pitcher in Ankeny. A shootout between the Landlubbers and hometown ACL's ends at 13-10, with 22 of the 23 runs scored by the end of the 4th.  Matt Boyd of Ankeny takes the brunt of the abuse, absorbing all 13 of the Landlubbers runs and the loss in his 3.2 innings of work.

Miners @ Yeti's
Everest's JP France has had a very nondescript fist month-plus of the season, but maybe his complete game, 4-hit shutout of Phoenix can be a jumping off point for him.  The Yeti's post five runs in the fifth to put the game away on the way to an 8-0 win.

Bums @ Argos
Another shootout in Mother Lode.  Bako and Mother Lode swap leads through the first six innings, but a five run bottom of the seventh is the Bums undoing. A two run rally in the ninth falls just short and Bako drops a 10-9 ballgame to the Argos.

Rougarou @ Sea Wolves
Lakeview has won five straight and 8 of their last 10 to get back to .500.  Taking a 5-0 lead into the seventh after six shutout innings from Charlie Morton, the Rougarou bullpen bends but doesn't break and ride a five out save from closer Andrew Wantz to the 5-4 victory.

Koi @ Auk
Freddy Peralta and Emilio Pagan combine for a 2-hit, no walk, 10 strikeout shutout to lead Great to the 7-0 home win.
