1) The Bums' Pete Alonso has 48 jacks and leads the pack by 5 over Stanton. He is hitting home runs this season at a 10.1 per AB pace. Questions:
a) Yes
b) Yes
c) 53
2) The WC race is heating up in the Scully. While the Koi have begun to fade, the Dogs are taking advantage of a very pedestrian-like performance by the Blues since the All Star Break. One game separates them now for that #2 WC spot. The Miners aren't extremely comfortable with that #1 WC spot either, only 5 games ahead of the Blues. Questions:
a) Yes
b) Yes
c) No
3) The Harwell features the tightest race for the division title, with the Kraken nursing a 3-game lead over the Rum Runners.
Question: Guess (choose a-b-c-d-e, or f) the number of games that will separate the Kraken from the Rum Runners:
c) 2 game lead = 2 points
4) Last round's experiment with current-record-based points for matchups was a blast (or so I was told by a couple of you). Let's do it again, as indeed, it had a great impact on points this late in the season. Again, you MUST call a sweep (triple your points, or lose them if that team doesn't sweep), and you can call as many sweeps as you wish. If you fail to call a sweep, we'll be forced to give you a -2 penalty off your overall Round 11 score. Points awarded in parenthesis, and remember to triple them if you get that sweep.
a) ACLs (1) SWEEP
b) Blues (1)
c) Miners (1)
d) RR (1)
e) Sweets (2)
f) @ Maniax (1) SWEEP
g) @ Rougarou (1)
h) @ Koi (1)
i) @ Bums (1) SWEEP
j) Kraken (1) @ Robots ( 8 )
