Make it 7 hits.

Looks like McCarthy is so under the radar this series that he's not even pitching!

The question gets dropped entirely, yes?

That's what I get for not getting started earlier.

So, yes – drop the question.

Huh, I think I've confused myself. I started out thinking I should go Angels, then changed it, then forgot I changed it!

Thanks for the catch!

1. A’s 2-1 (3 points)

2. Weeks/DDJ Kendrick/Mathis (2 points each, 8 points total)

3.sadly yes 7 IP, 4 H, 2 ER, and 6 Ks (1 point, then 2 points each, 9 points total).

4. yes! 6 IP, 4 H, 1 ER, and 4 Ks (1 point, then 2 points each, 9 points total)

5.0 HRs, 1 RBIs and 3 Ks. no error (2 points each, then one point, 7 points total).

6. 3 Hs, 1 XBHs, 1 SBs. yes (2 points each, then one point, 7 points total).

7. September call-ups. So with all the shuffling, it’s hard to figure out who can officially be called a September call-up, but we’ll say that on the pitching side, it’s Jerry Blevins, Andrew Carignan, Graham Godfrey, Josh Outman, and Neil Wagner. On the non-pitching side, it’s Landon Powell, Anthony Recker, Chris Carter, Adam Rosales, Michael Taylor, and Jai Miller. Name any one of the pitchers who records at least two Ks. Name any one of the hitters who gets at least one hit. None is an acceptable answer for either question (2 points each, 4 points total).Outman 2k, Carter 1 hit

What do the GOG-Races Look like?

The Proxy Leaderboard has had Urgent Mirth making a strong run with 2 straight Winz (#49 & #50), pulling within 6 points of vignette17 heading into this series, GOG #51. UM’s rush to the top is slowed this series, since vignette17 proxy-proxied UM, since none of vignette, nevermoor, or danmerqury played, so they all get Urgent Mirth’s 13 pts. Sorry, UM. One more series!
1. vignette17 – 597 + 13 = 610
2. Urgent Mirth – 591 + 13 = 604
3. nevermoor – 587 + 13 = 600

The Straight Leaderboard is also very tight, with little change resulting from this series, and looks like this:
1. paris7 – 552 (before this series) + 13 (above) = 565
2. Urgent Mirth – 547 + 13 = 560
3. Athletix Man – 543 + 12 = 555
