PrintHere we have it ladies and gentleman. While I apologize for not giving a full 24 hours to fill out the 2nd GOG, I hope to merely be a Patterson-like replacement to the fine job that Colin did for us all of last year.
Please do not forget to grade your own scores if you participated in our first GOG of the year Linky Link, and have fun with this one!
1. Series Outcome [3 points] Oakland 2-1
2. Daric Barton continued his stellar plate discipline with a plentiful 5 BBs. Over/under for walks this series: 2 1/2. [3 points] 3 walks for Barton
3. GIO gives us his 1st start of the year after nailing down the 5th starter spot with a solid Spring. Predict his IP, his pitch count (points within +/- 5), and which we'll see more of, BBs or K's [2 points each] 6 IP, 95 pitches, more K's
4. Which A will be the first to get a hit this series? Get an XBH? Go yard? [2 points each] Davis, Barton, Pennington
5. Brian Fuentes was worth a whopping $1.6 Mil of the $8.5 Miil the Angels gave him last year, according to Fangraphs. With a $9 Mil vesting option resting on the fact that he finish 55 games for the Red and White this year, how many games does he finish for the Angels this series. [2 points] 0 games finished for Fuentes
6. Fangraphs also seems to think that "Mighty" Macier Izturis could start with Oakland over Pennington. Who gets more of each this series: H/XBH/E [2 points each] Izturis, Pennington, Pennington
7. Our Oakland A's have Gio, Sheets and the K man Dallas Braden scheduled to start the 3 games, while Anaheim has Palmer, Weaver, and Saunders ready to go. Which team's starting pitching puts together a better ERA, more Ks, and who goes the deepest into a ballgame this weekend? [2 points each] A's, Angels, Tie
8. The Angels have consistently outperformed their Pythag based (supposedly) on their ability to play small ball. Between the 2 teams, which player has the most SB, and predict a player who gets a base hit off a bunt. [2 points each] Rajai with 2 SB, and of all people to hit for a bunt, Jeff Mathis.
9. Joe Saunders is not only known as a great April pitcher, with a career 2.51 ERA going 10-1 in the month, but also an A's killer, going 9-3 off of a 3.99 ERA. Predict his IP/H/K in his first outing of the season against Oakland. [2 points each] 6 IP/4H/2K
10. Both the Angels (.370) and our Oakland A's (.399) slugged under .400 for their first series of the season. While neither team is expected to provide lots of power to their respective lineups, who records the highest slugging percentage for each team this series? [2 points each] Juan Rivera, Adam Rosales
Have fun with it everyone and I'll see ya at gametime. Gio Gonzalez faces Matt Palmer at 7:05 PDT in what is surely to be a great series! Lets go Oak-Land!!!
Don't forget to submit your scores into the site Nevermoor set up here. I'll have GOG #3 set up ASAP!

What is both surprising and delightful is that spectators are allowed, and even expected, to join in the vocal part of the game.... There is no reason why the field should not try to put the batsman off his stroke at the critical moment by neatly timed disparagements of his wife's fidelity and his mother's respectability. ~George Bernard Shaw
Oh, and btw...

there is a link in GOG #1.
But so far, doctorK and I are the only people to input our scores. (I’m winning)
Yeah
A link buried in the last GoG isn’t going to do enough to build consensus (plus, I don’t think I can make a GoG 2 form until GoG 1 responses are done)

Hey strana, question:
When you say “games finished” for Fuentes, do you mean literally how many games where he is the last slegnA pitcher of the night, or just saves?

And I apologize for some of this being confusing.

Ok, new score keeping engine
I’ll explain it in full in my GOG (which is next), but it should be largely self-explanatory.
http://gog.byethost14.com/index.php
Note, I am not allowing people to self-enter screen names. Everyone who did GOG 1 is in, and I’ll add anyone else who replies here or who replies to the comment I’ll make in the next GOG (or, of course, thereafter).
Although the page is in its infancy, the score reporting from the main page and “full result table” link are both functional (if ugly). I’ll work on other reports, so that people can simply link to the webpage rather than hand-making the sorts of things Colin did last year. Those, however, will take time. I am also very very open to receiving a css file from someone who has a sense of web design. Everything should be fully style-able, so if someone wants to do it and send me a file I’ll test it out.
