Surprised 3 people went with Myles Straw. Well done. And how the hell did Manny Machado get 5?

I'm not looking too hot either. Why didn't I just go Trout? He didn't have to play the Dbacks this last weekend.

Looove being at the top of the sidebet leaderboard, even if antes haven't even kicked into the tournament yet.

I went with the wrong Astro for .300. My guy will probably reliably be day-to-day soon and not living up to his potential. gg

LOL. Oh well. I tried.

I might actually finish dead last getting less than 5 corrects.

We have another incorrect SHEEP answer activating the penalty! Sadly, my boy and reigning NL MVP Freddie Freeman didn't start the season scorching hot. Chosen by 6 of you, he has turned it around lately, but he also got struck out by Anthony Rizzo, so there's that. He's off to a .216 start.

Freeman backers will receive an incorrect SHEEP score of 6, plus the number of corrects submitted.

Also activating the incorrect penalty are the 3 backers of DJ LeMahieu. Given the Yankees' hitters' all or nothing approach at the plate, it made sense to retain the services of a player with excellent bat-to-ball contact skills. Unfortunately, LeMahieu is only hitting .269 right now.

Our final incorrect that activates the scoring penalty are the 3 players who chose, of all people, Luis Arraez. The Minnesota infielder is close, but no cigar, at .289.

Played by 2 people, including yours truly, our next incorrect is Christian Yelich. He's off to a .333 start, but only had 36 PA before going on the IL. So close!!

Also played by 2 people, our next incorrect is Charlie Blackmon. Wow, has he fallen off a cliff the last two years. Anyway, his average sits at .198.

The remaining incorrects are would-be ace hunters. Carlos Correa's impending free agency looms... I wonder if the Astros want to keep him? You'd think they'd have worked something out by now if that were the case, so it'll be interesting to see what he gets in a deep SS market this winter. He's hitting a respectable, but incorrect, .283.

Our next incorrect is the Met Jeff McNeil. As a fantasy owner, I was told that his main skill is batting average, so I feel lied to. He's sitting at .231 at the moment, which is a significant improvement on how he started the year.

The next incorrect is a little sad that we don't have time machines. Miguel Cabrera may have hit the first home run of the 2021 season in the snow, but it's all been downhill from there. At least he'll always have that Triple Crown! Miggy's hitting a ghastly .115.

Our final incorrect is Pete Alonso. The first-sacker is hitting .259 on the year so far.

Here are the 27 correct answers that weren't played!

I believe this is the list of batting title-qualified players, so there may be more not listed here above the 40 PA threshold that are also correct.

...You'll never guess who leads the league in batting average:

Mike ****ing Trout, .413
Byron Buxton, .408
Yermin Mercedes, .395
Jesse Winker, .365
Jared Walsh, .356
Xander Bogaerts, .349
JD Martinez, .347
Vladimir Guerrero Jr., .337
Justin Turner, .337
Ronald Acuna Jr., .333
Nick Castellanos, .330
Austin Riley, .329
Yuli Gurriel, .327
Kris Bryant, .323
Cedric Mullins, .321
Raimel Tapia, .320
Brandon Nimmo, .318
Bryce Harper, .317
Corey Dickerson, .316
Luis Robert, .316
Matt Olson, .314
Yordan Alvarez, .313
JT Realmuto, .312
Trea Turner, .309
Alex Verdugo, .306
Eric Hosmer, .302
David Peralta, .300

Astros have three guys that would have qualified. I chose poorly.

Our SHEEP answer was played by only 2 players. Nick Madrigal is an intriguing young player accelerating the rebuild on the South Side. No homers and only 1 steal so far, for fantasy purposes, but hitting a very respectable .313.

Question 3 closes with 3 aces.

Coming in at precisely .300, with 50 AB, we have the young phenom Juan Soto. Just barely above the threshold of correct, but hey it's an ace!
