Awful. I got hung up on the awards which I usually don’t do. Thought maybe Jack Morris got a Cy young with Minny but letting game 7 of the ‘91 series taint my memory (which is funny because if you slide his name one square to the left, it would have hit as he pitched exactly one year with each of MIN and CLE. Thought for sure the pride of Van Meter, Iowa got 3k K’s with the Indians but Bob Feller finished his career with 2,581. Fuck the nazis

Bob Feller got me too

Holy shit I took awhile on Cle/Min and then for the 3000K Cle guy I just threw a hail mary out there because I couldn't think of anyone who played for them who had 3000K so I just guessed with my last guess.

I definitely think my weakness is 80s to like mid 90s AL teams.....and the Brewers.....since the Astros were in the NL with no interleague etc.  I am probably better since mid 90 when I started playing fantasy baseball.  

So single season stats and awards have to be when playing on the team in question but career stats do not.

It's in the list of instructions in the "how to play" pop-up when you first visit the site.  But ain't nobody got time for that.

Yeah i was worried about this cause I was like....no way in hell i am getting pitchers who had their 3000k with a certain team. So i put in Pedro for Red Sox and it worked so I knew it wasn't the other way

But it's not. I looked earlier today and it didn't say anything about career stats unless my rage blinded me. I had never read it before so assumed it did. 

Edited by Huckleberry

Yeah I thought you had to name the guy with the team when he reached the milestone 

but the instructions don’t cover that.

And it’s definitely not how it works because I got credit for Pedro under Red Sox even though he got 3,000 with the Mets (forgot he even pitched there) and Sabathia with Cleveland even though he got 3,000 with the yankees

Gaylord Perry is certainly a nice hall of fame pitcher to know about for this game.

I think I’ve been able to use Clemens and Steve Carlton in about 25% of the grids.

Looks like 2 grids today for some reason so you have like 12 hours to get this one in

All sorts of fail. I waited until my last guess and got cute with O’s all star and put Robin Roberts instead of just sticking with Brooks or Cal.

They gave me a wrong answer for Jim Abbott as an Angels all star. Pretty sure he was at least once.

For the Joan Rivers position I was trying to think of the guy that was on the Astros for like 2 months and did the complete tour of the AL East but Steve Pearce wouldn't come to me until I had used up all my guesses.

Never an all star

Apparently if you want a low similarity score (is 74 good?) you just have to go with old guys on the awards even if they are obvious? Reggie Jackson, Jim Palmer and Dale Murphy are all really obvious all stars with their teams if you are a certain age but that got 1, 2 and 3% respectively.

I was cruising through my first 7 guesses.  All correct and 6 out of 7 single digit rarity.  Then finished with two big whiffs.

Same damn thing.  Blew through the first 7 guesses with rarity score of 10% or lower in each.  Had visions of a sub-100 score and whiffed on the last two.

Typically a random, mediocre reliever that hasn't pitched in 4 years would be a very low percentage.  Absolutely love that Fields is in the double digits purely because of the Yordan trade.

 

Too be fair it fluctuates throughout the day so he is already down to 9% and my rarity has dropped to 196

Damn it- Terry Mulholland played for everyone in the world I guess except for one of the phillies or the Mets.

Sports Reference LLC has acquired the online baseball-themed trivia game, Immaculate Grid. 

This unique opportunity and acquisition for Sports Reference is the company’s first venture into expanding its websites to have playable content. With over one million users a day, Baseball Reference hopes to drive new traffic to the game, and vice versa. 

Moving forward, the Immaculate Grid game will now be integrated into Baseball-Reference.com, enticing players to dive down the rabbit hole of the site and learn more about players, teams, and statistics.

An homage to baseball’s immaculate inning, Immaculate Grid tests the knowledge of baseball fans with a daily game allowing players nine guesses to complete a nine square grid. Immaculate Grid was launched by Brian Minter on April 4th and by mid-June was seeing over 100,000 daily plays. Brian is a baseball fan and software engineer in Atlanta, Georgia who conceived of the game during his free time.

"Brian has built an incredibly engaging game that has attracted hundreds of thousands of fans. I've spent many mornings scouring the recesses of my brain looking for that one player who played for both the Phillies and the Padres. We are excited Brian reached out to us about expanding his game to additional sports. Many on our team have been active players of the game for months now, and we are excited to bring it to all of our sites," said Sean Forman, President of Sports Reference LLC, "I can assure fans of the game, we aren't looking to change what makes the game great."

A new feature of the game will include a list of possible answers in the summary section. Users will now be able to see all potential players, visit their Baseball Reference page, or see Stathead query results.

Good stuff

(I’ll give you bottom right).

 

Fair to question it but I'm a balls in play nerd / 3TO hater. Famous single season hits totals is something I know. Combs is very obvious because his big hits total season was for the 1927 Yankees, I'm far from the only one who knows lots of stats for that team. Klein had one of the only 250+ seasons which everyone watched Ichiro pass.

Wheat is the only one that some stat nerds might not know. Now if you made me name players with 200+ hits since Ichiro last did it not named Altuve I'd have a problem. Although I guess not many guys reach that number anymore anyway.

I thought Mattingly and sax were deep cuts at less than 5% when I put them up there. 

10% of the players have to be Astros fans as Josh Fields is coming in hot at 9% today. I have to admit that using that answer made me smile.
