1) The Grants Pass Brewers - one of the favorites to represent the Frick in the World Series (according to the predictions thread), have started off the season 11-15. But they're 6-4 in their last ten games perhaps showing signs of turning things around.
Questions:
a) No
b) 18
2) Stringing together several consecutive Quality Starts can be hard to come by in our league. And yet, four pitchers have been perfect so far this season. The Sweets' Ryu, the Honey Badgers' Sale, Detroit's Giolito, and Hawaii's JA Happ.
Questions:
a) No
b) Ryu
3) Maniax third baseman Jose Ramirez has 12 steals in 26 games, and has yet to be caught. Ramirez looks to play about 150 games this season, which puts him on pace to swipe roughly 70 bags. He only stole 28 bases in "real life" (although we can't really say that with our 2021 database, can we?), and was caught 5 times. Dude can't keep this up, right?
Questions:
a) No
b) 18
4) While the ACLs (19-7) are not the absolute juggernaut they were a year ago, they've still got the best record in the league (1 game lead over the Bums and Madmen at 18-8). And as a TEAM, they're slugging a league-leading .503!
Questions:
a) No
b) No
c) .496
5) Home Run Watch! Let's place some extra weight on some of the contenders... Choose the player you believe will be at the top of the HR list at the end of Round 3, and collect the points (in parentheses) if you're correct. The number next to the player is his current HR total.
