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: ___________

I don't know how it could be a hold but I gave the boxscore to chatGPT to see if it could figure it out, FWIW; it says it had to be a mistake by the scorer.
Does DMB accept feedback like that?
Oh man! I had this all done yesterday afternoon, but apparently didn't hit "post"! Looks like games haven't been run yet though, so I think I'm still good.
