I did a search and didn't see this posted about. I think some of y'all may enjoy it.

Immaculate Grid

Quote:
HOW TO PLAY
Select a player for each cell that matches the criteria for that cell's row and column
For a player to be considered valid for a team, he must've played at least one game for that team at the MLB level
If a cell is for a team and an award, the player you select must have won that award while on that team
If a cell is for a team and a season stat, the player you select must have recorded that stat while on that team
If you select a player for a cell with a rate stat (AVG, ERA, etc.), that player must've accumulated that stat in a completed season
A player cannot be used twice
You have 9 guesses to fill out the grid
Each guess, whether correct or incorrect, counts as a guess
You can guess active or inactive MLB players
There is a new grid every day

9/9 but that was tough. Paul Byrd with 0.02% usage... that one was a complete guess.

How do you see usage? I only see the most popular choice in the summary.

I'm guessing he guessed Paul Byrd himself as it tells you the percentages for the players you guessed correctly. My lowest was Dan Haren for the Dbacks/A's combo at 11%.

Yep. Olds like me had to reach back. I also used Strawberry, McGwire, and Maddux.

That was very fun! 78, 9/9

Jose Valverde (0.3%), Edwin Jackson, Paul Goldschmidt
Bobby Bonilla (0.7%), Matt Olson, Andruw Jones
Mike Piazza, Khris Davis, Nolan Arenado

I feel like Edwin Jackson is a free space in this game.

For sure. A close second would be Hawkins, Clayton, Colon, and Villone.

is there a way to play past games? Started playing today, and boy do I feel dumb afterwards

Marvin

2:53p, 6/22/23

Votto not hitting 40 screwed me. 37 once and 36 two other seasons. Darn.

I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

I got wrecked yesterday with the closers.

Better today.

X, Xander Boharerts, Johnny Damon
Scott Rolen, X, Jimmy Rollins
Ken Giffery Jr, Fernando Tatis Jr, Alex Bregman

Mr.Ackar07

8:50p, 6/22/23

I got 8/9 today. Missed the Red Sox/Reds player because I accidentally guessed Roy Halladay as the Phillies World Series winner before selecting Ryan Howard. Yesterday was terrible with the closers. I got 3/9 as I guessed a bunch of 30 save guys.

I liked this, I sucked at it, but I liked it. Maybe I should have read the directions.
81 with 4/9

spadilly

9:26a, 6/23/23

7/9 and kicking myself for not getting the other two

X, Albert Pujols, Mike Trout
David Price, X, Wade Boggs
Justin Verlander, Adam Wainwright, Babe Ruth

I checked afterwards, and Boggs hit .301 for the Rays, so I narrowly got that one

Farmer1906

9:42a, 6/23/23

Finally filled one out fully today.

Justin Upton, Albert Pujols, Vlad Guerrero
Austin Meadows, Randy Arozarena, Carl Crawford
Justin Verlander, Chris Carpenter, Babe Ruth

In reply to spadilly

I think it's just a player who played for the Rays and hit .300. He didn't have to hit .300 while a Ray I don't think.

The two you missed are the two I struggled with the longest.

The rule is they had to have accomplished that feat while with the identified team.

Also, the Rays & Cardinals player should have been immediately obvious: Michael Wacha

X, Pujols, Trout
David Price, X, Carl Crawford
Verlander, Bob Gibson, Babe Ruth

Mr.Ackar07

10:29a, 6/23/23

I had 8/9; took 2 guesses on the Rays player with a .300+ BA, so I never took an attempt at the pitcher with 20+ wins and a .300+ BA

Cameron Maybin, Albert Pujols, Mike Trout
David Price, Michael Wacha, Wade Boggs
Justin Verlander. Bob Gibson, X

Marvin

11:29a, 6/23/23

6/9. The Rays got me.

I love Texas Aggie sports, but I love Texas A&M more.

I guessed the wrong Weaver brother for my Angel/Tiger

Johnsy3

4:54p, 6/23/23

This is fun! 8/9

Francisco Rodriguez, David Eckstein, Mike Trout
X, Colby Rasmus, Fred McGriff
Justin Verlander, Adam Wainwright, Mike Hampton

Cannot believe I couldn't get the Rays/Tigers most common answer

Big Bucks

6:31p, 6/23/23

7/9 today, was best I have done. And yes, this is fun. I got Boggs but the other Rays got me.

Johnsy3

6:47a, 6/24/23

Tough one day and I pulled out a lucky guess or two. 8/9
Steve Finley, X, Larry Walker
Max Scherzer, Chris Bassitt, David Wright
Troy Glaus (lol), Kevin Gausman, Ronald Acuna

Big Bucks

7:34a, 6/24/23

6/9 today, the Braves cost me two of my misses. Another reason to dislike them. And the answers folks give to this game really helps reveal how old I am in comparison to some posters.

Mr.Ackar07

9:07a, 6/24/23

6/9

X, Randall Grichuk, Larry Walker
Max Scherzer, X, Darryl Strawberry
X, Fred McGriff, Hank Aaron

spadilly

9:13a, 6/24/23

7/9

Steve Finley, Troy Tulowitzki, Larry Walker
Max Scherzer, John Olerud, X
X, Otis Nixon, Ronald Acuna Jr

Was proud I pulled Nixon and Olerud out of my head!

RA Dickeys's family must be playing today
