Our next 3-pointer is ALSO tied for the league lead in wins with 7. The Bronx Bombers have found their ace, and even grew him from the system! Luis Severino is looking like the guy you can give the ball to in a 1-game playoff and feel good about it. Priptonite stays perfect for another question!

Our final 3-point correct has a shaky ERA, but he pitches for a good team, which is just enough for this question. Jose Quintana has 5 wins to go with his 4.47 ERA and 1.47 WHIP.

Question 5 closes with two aces. Carlos Carrasco is ineligible for the win tonight for Sunday Night Baseball, but he's already qualified for this question with 5 wins so far.

Our final ace is Stephen Strasburg. Perhaps overshadowed by his better-known teammate, Strasburg has had another fine year for the Nats, with 5 wins on the season so far.

Can you recheck your scoring? You gave EC Outlaw only 3 points for question 5 even though he had Godley incorrect.

Good lookin' out.

That's why I started posting the cumulative scores, specifically to avoid errors like this.

We've got an ERA reveal next weekend, right?

(Though I'd be OK with skipping that one...)

Whoops, yes.

The next reveal will be next Sunday, June 3rd, and it concerns starting pitcher ERA (<3.00)

the HR reveal is the following week

Podium!

This is going well so far. Gonna fall off later, but feeling good for now. Also it's keeping me marginally interested in MLB.

For this question, there were 28 correct answers, and 19 incorrect answers.

We'll start by reviewing the incorrects first.
Major League Baseball 2018 Season-Long PEEHS Quote
06-04-2018 , 09:14 AM
Our two most popular incorrects were played by 5 contestants each, and they both juuuuuuuuuust missed for this question. Noah Syndergaard is looking healthy and pitching great, unfortunately his ERA barely misses for this question, as he's at 3.06.

Also played by 2 entrants is Robbie Ray. He's currently on the DL, and does not qualify for the 30 IP min, as he's at 27.2. In any event, the Diamondback has an ERA of 4.88.

Our next would-be 2-pointer also just missed for this question. Kyle Hendricks has flummoxed the writers at Fangraphs, as he's always outperformed his FIP without dominating strikeout stuff. Best as we can tell, he does it by a proven ability to limit hard contact, and pitches in front of a great defense. In any event, his ERA just missed for this question, as he's at 3.19 for the year.

Our next incorrect also pitches on the North Side of Chicago, but with less success as his teammate Hendricks. Jose Quintana has looked better lately, but got off to a rough start, as his ERA is 4.30 on the season.

Our final would-be 2-pointer is finally having that breakout healthy season. What's a guy got to do to get that ERA under 3 for this question? James Paxton threw a no-hitter and looks generally dominant for the surprise Mariners, but his ERA just misses at 3.13.

The remaining incorrects are would-be ace-hunters, which I'll reveal alphabetically. Former UGA standout Alex Wood has pitched to a 4.48 ERA on the season.

Our next incorrect is a former Cy Young Award winner. Says a lot about Houston's rotation that a guy with Dallas Keuchel's resume is like the 4th-best starter on the team! His ERA is 3.65.

It's good to see our next incorrect back on the mound and pitching well. The talent for Garrett Richards was never in question, just the health, as he's missed a lot of time the last 2 or 3 seasons. So far this year he's pitching to an ERA of 3.25.
