...And the most face-meltiest ACE of Question 24, and maybe even the entire tournament, goes to Miles Mikolas, who also finishes with 20 Quality Starts for the Redbirds!

Here are the scores after 24 questions!

Priptonite's really opened it up, and his lead seems insurmountable at this point!

But will it hold?

DISCLAIMER: I enter every score in the spreadsheet, and I am NOT GOOD at MS EXCEL, (especially drunk) so it is entirely possible that, in the last 3 questions, I made a transcription error, which is why I posted the cumulative scores for everybody in this thread. If you see an error in your score, especially if you're in contention, by all means post it in this thread.

I got a great job at a great hospital doing exactly the kind of work I'd hoped I'd be doing.

Still figuring out the 12 on, 12 off and back for 12 on schedule, though.

But I'm truly feeling fulfilled that, even after a long day, I've made meaningful interactions with people, and done good for the day... which is more than I ever felt working in restaurants or sales.

I had originally planned to have the final reveal tonight, but that plan fell by the wayside.

I'm going out of town for a wedding til next Monday night,

SO,

You can be sure the FINAL REVEAL won't be any time before NEXT MONDAY NIGHT.

The Falcons play the Giants on Monday Night, and I fully expect to be back for that

...So I'll be back in town and we'll have the FINAL REVEAL next Monday night starting at 8:30 Eastern!

Sorry to leave everyone hanging.

I wanted to do a fun final reveal that would build drama for the top and podium spots, but Priptonite is so far ahead that he's got a lock on 1st place.

So I'll just do a normal reveal to finish out the season, as Game 3 of the World Series goes into extras!
Major League Baseball 2018 Season-Long PEEHS Quote
10-27-2018 , 12:34 AM
And I just finished my first time at the hospital doing 3 straight, so it was 12 on, 12 off, 12 on, 12 off, and 12 on again and done

And by "12 on," it's really more like 14.5 door to door adding in my commute and extra time giving/getting report on patients at the beginning and end of my shifts. And then I get mad at myself for not going straight to sleep when I get home, because waking up to do it all again is ROUGH, lol

So my feet are pretty sore, but at least I have beer for the reveal!

Who's here for the Question 25 Reveal?

25. Name a team with a negative run differential (0 = incorrect)

For this question, there were 46 correct answers, and 11 incorrect answers.

We'll start by reviewing the incorrects first.

Our most popular incorrects are a trio of would-be 3 pointers, so we'll start with my NL EAST DIVISION CHAMPION Atlanta Braves. They are further along than expected in the rebuild, and have a nice core of Acuna, Albies, Freddie, and an army of high-upside pitching prospects heading into 2019. They finished 2018 with a run differential of +90, 9th in MLB.

Our 2nd would-be 3-pointer is the plucky Oakland Athletics. It seems like the legacy of Moneyball is to build teams that are consistently better than the sum of their parts, but flawed enough and cursed never to make noise in the postseason. Probably tough to love as a fan, but also probably everything ownership could want in a franchise on a small payroll. Anyway, they finished 2018 with a run differential of +134.

Our final incorrect played by 3 people is a similar team to those A's, the Tampa Bay Rays. They seem to have mastered the process of developing players until they become expensive, and making sharp trades on younger, undervalued players. If only they didn't play in the AL East! They finish with a run differential of +70.

The remaining 2 incorrects were all would-be ace hunters. Our next incorrect is the playoff-bound Milwaukee Brewers. If they can figure out their starting pitching for next year, they might really have something. As it stands, they rode possibly the best offseason of MLB into a playoff berth and a very respectable showing in the NLCS. Their 2018 run differential was +107.

Philadelphia Phillies, -51
San Francisco Giants, -96

This question's SHEEP answer is worth 9 points, and they're also just barely inside that bubble of correct vs. incorrect. I thought I was being sneaky thinking the Pittsburgh Pirates were going to be bad, then they were almost good enough to blow this question. I wasn't the only one on them, though, and they finish 2018 with a run differential of minus just one single run.

The next most popular correct answer was played by 8 people. Miguel Cabrera didn't look right from the jump, Mr. I passed, and it was all downhill from there for the Detroit Tigers in 2018. They finish 2018 with a run differential of -166.
