ROUND 5

September 28, 2024, 08:48:50 AM

Happy Weekend, Boys! Sorry for a bit of a delay on the GIG questions. Here we go for Round 5, in which the games will run all the way through Oct 6. You have 72 hours to answer these questions before Brendt or Rod begin running games again (as early as Tuesday morning).

1) A classic question for the final round of the regular season: Guess the EXACT order of the 4 top teams in both leagues. Nail it in the KML and get 5 points (great battle going on for the 4-seed, making this somewhat difficult). But nail it in the Frick (much tighter), and get 10. Otherwise (not "in addition to"), for each team you guess correctly, you get one point. Ties count.

2) Matchups:
In my opinion, the 3-game sets with the most key matchups at the same time is going to be Sept. 21-23. Pick the winner, get a point. Pick a sweep (unlimited, but you get nuthin' if it's not a sweep), get 3 points. These matchups include only the ones where at least one team is in the running.
Sea Wolves @ ACLs
Bums @ Thunder
Rum Runners @ Robots
Miners @ Auk
Landlubbers @ Hammers
Madmen @ Kraken
Dogs @ Brewers

3) Batting title, HRs, RBIs
A) For the batting title, Luis Arraez has a 20- point lead on the field. Choose one: Arraez (1 point) or "the field" (5 points).

B) For the HR crown choose one (current HR total in parentheses):
Judge (40) = 1 point.
Albies (38), 2 points
Ozuna (37) = 3 points
Olson (36), JD Martinez (35) or Alonso (34) = 5 points
"Anyone else" (32 and under) = 8 points

(For the RBI title, JD Martinez leads by NINETEEN. So forget that!)

4) Among MSB pitchers, it's hard to find a significant category other than Wins where the top pitcher doesn't have a big lead. So we'll just do that:
Cole (16) = 1 point
Bello (15) = 2 points
J Ryan or Gallen (14) = 4 points
"Anybody Else" (13 and under) = 7 points

5) Your team's final record. Nail it and get 5 points. Within 1 win = 3. Within 2 =1.

Good luck! After the regular season we'll do Round 6: The Post-Season Round.

And I'll do my best to tally the Round 4 points today.
