The Hit Streak Contest - April

[chief wahoo]

should have asked this sooner , but i do have one question regarding the DH....

can the player we select as a monthly DH still be picked as our daily pick for a game in that same month ?

if the answer is YES , my april DH and april 2nd pick in my first post is OK....

if the answer in NO , i'd like to have my april DH changed from jose altuve to jackie bradley

I was wondering the same thing about the DH.

No - whomever you select as your DH can not be used as a daily hitter. With that info, changes can be made up until first pitch of the first game of the day, so if you want to change your DH for the month, needs to be done by 1pm today.

I am putting my picks in right now. Please remember to edit your initial post, as that will make it easier for me to keep track of the game. Also remember, this game is 100% on the honor system and is for fun and entertainment only.

And the first Hit Streak Contest of 2017 is underway. 16 participants - haven't looked at the side bets yet.

Threes Strikes - NONE

Two Strikes - NONE

One Strike - katester44, david k., benski3, mrknicks, hurls88, bearpup, chieftazmisty

No Strikes - anglinomics, mm1sub, cmcjr99, chief wahoo, greatdadx2, topaz77, quota, tennellson55, scc76

Rizzo carried the day for most of you. Your esteemed host once again starts off with a strike, deja vu all over again. Been way to busy at work and with baseball, will get the prizes posted up as soon as I can.

First pitch today is at 1:05PM, make sure you get your picks posted by than. Still time to get entered, only a one strike penalty at this point.

Thanks and good luck to all playing this year.

Will have the prizes updated momentarily so you know what you are playing for. I added a new section to it this year, (E) - TTM AU's of MLB Network personalities - none have come back yet from the 2017 Topps insert set, but as they do, will add them up. Right now, the only one available is Heidi Watney from the 2016 A/G set.

Still searching for the MLB Network inserts - 1 2 9, if anyone has them, will trade to get them, so I can get them sent out to try to include in the contest.

I have MLB Network insert #2 if you still need it. Would trade for any one Topps Gold #/. Thanks, Scott

Two Strikes - mm1sub

One Strike - none

No Strikes - none

And in the blink of an eye, it is over. Manny Machado brings home the contest win for mm1sub. Got another TTM AU back yesterday and have added it to the prize list - hoping that 4 or 5 more make it back pretty quickly. If you want to wait a bit before selecting your cards, that is fine, to see who else I get back - that is fine.


The May Contest will go live on May 1st - hope to see everyone back again, plus some new blood. Side bet - lost two (Tennelsson55 & David K.), won one (chieftazmisty) - will keep a tally and those bets will pay out after the September contest.

Thanks and good luck to all playing this year.
