Baseball oriented brain game

[fightinfunbags]

So you probably know a bunch of people who play the Wordle or similar brain games every day. Here’s a baseball one my friend sent me that my guys and I have been playing for the last week. Pretty fun for those who like trivia, brain games, and baseball.

Here’s a link. Today’s kicked my ass. Only got 5 of 9.

That's cool. I only got 5 of 9 as well. My knowledge of Diamondbacks history is sorely lacking.

I thought Andru Jones was a 30/30 club guy. That was the one that really surprised me.

I don’t know. I haven’t tried it.

I got 9/9, but I was confirming my guesses beforehand.

I had all the 30/30 picks on first guess.

I had all the Blue Jays without even confirming.

Mets/DBacks was easy. Rox DBacks I knew who I was looking for, I just couldn’t remember his name, so I cheated to get his name. Braves/DBacks was tough, but I did go with a guy who was an extreme journeyman. I had a couple guesses that were wrong first, though.

I only had 3 picks that were > 50%. My DBacks/Braves guy was at 0.4%. I had two 4%.

Interesting puzzle format.

7/9 today...this game is pretty tough... not a great baseball historian, so 9/9 for me is going to be tough on any day.

Me too. I went with Denny Neagle on that one


Actually most of my answers were different, but I'm not smart enough to do the spoiler so I'll omit them for now.

Click on the vertical elipse to expand the options. Then click eye which will open a pop up asking for your desired label on the spoiler (I usually just click “Continue”, which will default to “Spoiler”).

Got it

I love this game. I only got 7 of 9 today. I think they could add a twist where there is a time limit but also a multiplier for picking players that are more obscure, so if you pick someone that very few other people picked you get more points.

8/9

Me too on 7 of 9

I had a fat finger and put CC Sabathia in the wrong grid. I also jumped the gun on Kershaw being in the 3,000 K club. Fixed it with Scherzer but it was too late.

I like your idea about points and a multiplier. I would also add that they have a one mulligan rule for times when I have a fat finger haha.
