Well, geez . . . that limits me to one of only THREE hitters on my team!

Name your player: Pete Alonso
1) AVE (within .010 = 2 points, nail it = 5 pts) - .245
2) OBP (within .020 = 2 points, nail it = 5 pts) - .315
3) SLG (within .030 = 2 points, nail it = 5 pts) - .563
4) How many Runs will he score? (within 3 = 2 points, nail it = 5 pts) - 17
5) How many RBI will he have? (within 3 = 2 pts, nail it = 5 pts) - 21
6) How many Strikeouts will he have? (within 3 = 2 points, nail it = 5 pts) - 20
7) How many Doubles will he have? (within 3 = 2 pts, nail it = 5 pts) - 5
8 ) How many HR’s will he have? (within 3 = 2 points, nail it = 5 pts) - 10
9) How many Walks will he have? (within 3 = 2 points, nail it = 5 pts) - 11
10) Will he have a Game-Winning RBI? (no = 2 points, yes = 5 points) - yes

Here's hoping at least ONE of my run producers begins to heat up...

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Thunder @ Auk
A tale of two "halves" in Great leads to a barnburner of a game.  Tucson runs out to a 9-0 lead after four.  Down those nine runs into the sixth, Great mounts an epic comeback with five runs in the sixth, another in the seventh and then four in the eighth to tie the game.  Marcel Ozuna plays the hero with a three run homer in the sixth and a grand slam in the eighth, driving in seven runs with his pair of homers (11 on the season).  In the bottom of the ninth, Corbin Carroll and Charlie Blackmon lead off with singles for the Auk; after a double play grounder puts Carroll at third with two outs, Willson Contreras brings the Auk all the way back, driving in Carroll with a walk off single.  Great has been looking for a spark all season; maybe this 11-10 comeback victory is that spark.

KML Conference lead
Coupled with Brooklyn's 9-4 loss in Ann Arbor, Santa Ana's 5-4 win in Chicago gives the Sea Wolves sole possession of first place in the KML for the first time this season.

Frick Conference lead
Bako has lost three straight and six of their last ten after dropping game one of their series with Little Brother's Grants Pass Brewers, 4-3.  Scurvy has won six of their last ten with their 8-7 walk off victory over Mother Lode.  The (Lucky)Dogs tie the Bums atop the Frick Conference at a league leading 22-12 (tied with Santa Ana).

GAME HIGHLIGHTS

Eight splits in this round of two game sets.  The two sweeps:

Bums @ Argos
Pablo Lopez continues to struggle for Bako, giving up five earned in five innings, while Sandy Alcantara keeps his record perfect, pitching into the seventh to run his record to 5-0 and lower his ERA to 2.87.  Mother Lode brings Bako back to the pack in the Frick with a 7-3 win and the two game sweep.

Koi @ Auk
Edouard Julien homers twice and drives in four to lead Great to the 6-3 win and the series win.  Auk pitching dances in and out of trouble all game, giving up 12 hits, but allows just three Koi runs to cross the plate.




Sweets @ Dogs
George Kirby, Aroldis Chapman and Shelby Miller combine on a five hit, 10 K shutout and Scurvy cracks out four home runs to coast to the easy 10-0 victory.

Brewers @ Thunder
Merrill Kelly and three relievers combine on a three hit, 12 K shutout of Grants Pass.  Austin Slater does all the work on offense with a two run single and an RBI groundout, accounting for all three runs in the 3-0 Tucson win.

Rougarou @ Sea Wolves
Santa Ana falls behind by three before rallying with runs in the seventh and eighth to tie the game.  Brandon Belt wins the game for the Wolves with a walk off single in the bottom of the tenth, giving the home town team the 7-6 win and tying them at the top of the KML with Brooklyn.

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 June.
- 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)
