5fouls Posted September 1, 2023 Report Share Posted September 1, 2023 65 today. Had 3 double digit answers. 40+ saves tends to be a limited category. Relied on a couple of ex-Reds for low scores. Will post screenshot when I get home. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Langston popped in my head, but my brain stopped with Mariners/Angels. I went with Vizquel there for 13%. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted September 5, 2023 Report Share Posted September 5, 2023 19 today. Give me a Reds line, a couple of fairly easy stat/accomplishment lines, and no expansion teams and I can do some business. I'll post a screenshot later tonight when I have my laptop. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted September 5, 2023 Report Share Posted September 5, 2023 Cam Bedrosian was .05% when I did this at lunch today. Totally destroys my score. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 53 today. 29 of that was the most common answer for Rangers/Rockies. I was being lazy and didnt want to strain the brain too much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted September 6, 2023 Report Share Posted September 6, 2023 @IUFLA. Here's mine. I am filing a protest that you got a lower score on Wynn than I did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IUFLA Posted September 7, 2023 Report Share Posted September 7, 2023 77 today... But I did get to use Marvelous Marv Throneberry of the 62 Mets... Throneberry once hit a ball into the right-center-field gap. Two runs would score, and he would reach third base. He was called out for not touching first base. Manager Casey Stengel went out to argue the call but was told by first-base coach Cookie Lavagetto "Don't bother, Case," Lavagetto said, "he didn't touch second either."

5fouls Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 I've not been playing much lately. 49. The Terrell score is my personal best for a single square. Local boy, from down here in Jeffersonville. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluegrassIU Posted September 25, 2023 Report Share Posted September 25, 2023 I can't make heads or tails out of what you guys are doing. But I have to say, it's a fun thread to watch just 3 guys having a great time with this and sharing. It's actually really good stuff and one of those little things that shows why HSN is a special place. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

5fouls Posted October 27, 2023 Report Share Posted October 27, 2023 Not been playing much lately and only been filling in certain squares. Today had some new categories that made it interesting. Score of 90 with half of that on Larry Doby. Enzo Hernandez is my go-to obscure player for the Dodgers/Padres combo. Thanks to my baseball card collection on that one.

5fouls Posted November 25, 2023 Report Share Posted November 25, 2023 44. I like the stat categories better than the team/team ones. I always try too hard to avoid the obvious on the team ones. On most of the stat/stat squares, there is no obvious. Realized I needed to freshen-up on my ROY knowledge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted January 18 Report Share Posted January 18 (edited) Haven't done these very often during the offseason. Decided to give it a try today. One of the squares was Mets & 2,000 strikeouts (pitching). Well, I figured Seaver and Ryan were too obvious, so I went with Johan Santana. Not, so fast my friend, but that's an incorrect answer. That stunned me, so I looked it up. Santana only had 1,988 strikeouts in his career. This from a dude that was getting 250+ a season during his peak. 12 strikeouts is one more start for him. So frustrating. Edited January 18 by 5fouls 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually was my first thought, but since strikeouts weren't the thing they are now, I went with the more recent. Figured Santana was a lock. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5fouls Posted January 19 Report Share Posted January 19 I'm no longer playing for the rarity score, just to complete the grid without too much thought. 97 today, with most of that in two squares. I was surprised that Henke was that high considering he pitched 35 years ago. In regards to Bautista, I just totally blanked on Orioles closers. Thank God they made the playoffs this year or I may not have even known about Bautista. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
