That math checks out.

I felt the same about Matt Stairs…“didn’t he retire after his stint with the Cubs?” Nope, 9 more teams in 10 years.

Wow, de la Cruz just pantsed Milwaukee, stealing 2nd, 3rd, and home.

And there were two games today. Thankfully, the second is a lot easier than the first. Pretty easy 9/9 on this one when I was struggling to get even 6 this morning.

So Astros (fans) are cheaters again?

I only saw the one. And I got 8/9.

Me too. That one bit.

I really enjoy this stupid game.

I like it when my answer gets 0.01% like today with Yankee/Met Mike Torrez.

Me too. My rarity score on the second game, which was 9/9, was 154.

This is the next focus, to minimize rarity score.

My son sent me this today with the caption:
The perfect grid. Nothing else needs to be filled in.

Objection: I used Josh Fields in that square and think it was the better pick.

I used Kike Hernandez to up my obscurity score.

Agreed

I picked Josh Reddick because he hated his time there and he celebrated WS victory on their fucking field as a Houston Fucking Astro.
