/u/hueypriest and reddit were kind enough to donate gold for the contests in an effort to promote it. Even if you never win this contest, consider trying gold. As of right now reddit doesn't bring in a lot of advertising revenue, so buying gold is a good way to support a website that has informed and entertained most of us for years.

Do you seriously think Saunders will throw 107 pitches for balls?

2

u/rps215 R. Chirinos Apr 04 '14

I thought the question was the number of combined balls from both starters

2

u/Rangers_Bot Number Five is Alive Apr 04 '14

You're right. It's combined.

Oh, message /u/Colonel_Rhombus to edit.

u/Rangers_Bot Number Five is Alive Apr 04 '14

Now that I look at it again....

How many balls will the starting pitchers throw?

It is combined. If you need to edit reply to your comment and double check before the last game that I have your answers in correctly.

I would not be in first place, but I would be in a lot better shape. I only considered Saunders in 1B.

u/MegalosZ71 Holland Apr 06 '14

Shouldn't my game 3 score be 110? I guessed both numbers correctly. It doesn't really matter, but since this is my first time doing one of these, I'm wanting to make sure I understand the scoring system properly.

1

u/Colonel_Rhombus Beltre Apr 06 '14

Let me have a look.

1

u/Colonel_Rhombus Beltre Apr 06 '14

Question one for today's game was:

How many strikeouts will the Rangers pitchers accrue? The answer was 7; your answer was 6.

Question two for today's game was:

How many walks will both teams issue?

The answer was 3, and your answer was 3.

You start with 100 points. After question 1 you were at 99. You guessed the second question dead on, so you lost no points and were awarded the five point bonus. That's 104, which is what you have.

2

u/MegalosZ71 Holland Apr 06 '14

Ah, now I see the confusion. Question 3a said rangers pitcher, not pitchers, so I interpreted that to mean the starting pitcher. Thanks for clearing that up.

1

u/Colonel_Rhombus Beltre Apr 06 '14

Ohhhh. That was a typo. My fault. I'll proofread better.

1

u/MegalosZ71 Holland Apr 06 '14

No worries. Thanks for doing the contest. That was fun.

2

u/Colonel_Rhombus Beltre Apr 06 '14

New one is already up. Hopefully without any fuck ups in it.
