August Hit Streak Contest

[katester44]

And away we go....we only have 12 participants for the August version. Hopefully that number will bump up for the final edition in September. By my count, we have 3 takers on the side bet (jaybo374, chieftazmisty, david k.).

Through 6 days...no one takes a seat. The only strike picked up (for the second straight day) is a DNP, thank you Paul Goldschmidt. So stressful to have to play 1st base every day.....

Three Strikes - anglinomics, cardcollector01, rhauch, benski3, chieftazmisty*

Two Strikes - greatdadx2, mrknicks, topaz77

One Strike - katester44, jaybo374*, tennelsson55, david k.*

No Strikes - NONE

First pitch today is at 4:05pm, please have your pick in by then. Contest is closed - no more entries at this point.

Once the contest is complete, I will post up all side bets. Good luck to everyone.

I have an idea of how to combat the DNP's that plague this contest. I am going to give it a trial run in September. Prior to the start of the contest, you will be able to pick a DH to use for the duration of the month - if there is a game in which your pick for the day is a DNP (must sit on bench entire game, no pinch hitting, etc. or if the game is a rainout/weather suspension), your DH will be your chosen hitter for that day. The only caveat is that if you pick a player to be your DH for the month, you can't use him as a daily selection. Hopefully that will increase the length of streaks and help cut down on the number of strikes earned without a chance.

 

[Jaybo374]

Looks like my guy for today will be a DNP. -sigh-

I feel your pain - my only strike this month (so far) was a DNP. If you read my last update, I may have a solution for the dreaded DNP.

In the unlikely event that your host wins the contest (hasn't happened in almost 4 years) - I will hold a random number selection for all of this months entrants to win the free cards.
