Round 2

April 17, 2022, 11:41:54 PM

It's great to have 14 of 20 owners taking part in the GIG! But if you're one of the 6, it's not too late. Guys have won it all having missed one week. Onto Round 2! Brendt will begin running games Wednesday night, so please have your answers in before then.

1) We've got a few good matchups to begin this round (4/24-26). Pick the winners of the 3-game sets (1 point each). Call ONE sweep if you wish (3 points), but remember, you lose the point if it's not a sweep.
a) Blues @ Miners
b) Garden Hammers @ Rougarou
c) Landlubbers @ Winds
d) Bums @ Honey Badgers

2) Check out the schedule for this one. Which team in the Frick will be on top of the league at the end of round 2? And which team will be on top of the KML? 2 points each.

3) The Rum Runners' Patrick Wisdom only had 338 ABs in real life, but hit a whopping 28 bombs. He's on top of the MSB after just 13 games, having hit 8 homers! Behind him are Vladdy Jr and a few other full-timers. Yes or No, will Wisdom still be on top of the HR column at the end of Round 2? 2 points.

4) Among qualified hitters, the ACL's Francisco Lindor wins the "point zero" prize! His slash line is /.047/.089/.070! His real life slash line isn't all that pretty (.230/.322/.412), but it's gorgeous compared to his early MSB start. Lindor also has yet to draw a walk in 45 PA's, though he has been plunked twice. Questions: (1 point each) After Round 2 games have been played...
a) ... pick the over/under on Lindor's batting average: .100
b) ... pick the over/under on Lindor's on-base-percentage: .175
c) ... pick the over/under on Lindor's slugging percentage: .250

5) We had 3 complete game shutouts in Round 1. Name a pitcher on YOUR team who has the best shot at a 9-inning shut out in Round 2. And name another pitcher (from another team) you think might get one. 3 points each.
