MLB 2017 PEEHS - Page 43 - Sporting Events and Fantasy Sports

Our final incorrect is the reigning AL Cy Young winner, Rick Porcello. It seems regression bit him pretty hard this year, but he'll always have that Cy Young. He finished with a WHIP of 1.40

This question's SHEEP answer is worth 8 points. Not exactly breaking news, but Clayton Kershaw is pretty good at throwing baseballs by people. After coming up less than an inning pitched short of the qualifier last season, he finished with a WHIP of 0.95 in 175 innings.

Our next correct is your probable NL Cy Young Winner, Max Scherzer. He had another dominant season, coming in 2nd in the WHIP crown at 0.90

Our next corrects are a pair of 2-point answers. Max Scherzer's teammate, Stephen Strasburg put together another nice season. He finishes with a WHIP of 1.02

Our other 2-point correct is the probable AL Cy Young winner. Corey Kluber has been lights out since May, and finished with the 2017 WHIP crown among starters, at 0.87

Question 22 closes with 2 aces. Chris Sale had a Cy Young caliber start to the year, though he trailed off down the stretch. Still, he finished with a boatload of strikeouts and a WHIP of 0.97

Our final ace just barely made the cut for this question. Carlos Carrasco allowed 219 hits and walks, in exactly 200 innings pitched. That equates to a WHIP of 1.095, making him correct for this question!

With a SHEEP score of 8, plus 6 different corrects submitted, incorrects will receive a score of 14.

i mean this is a silly statement. In his entire career he would have qualified as a correct answer for this question one time.

I've got some weekend plans, and I'm bad at keeping to my word anyway, so I have no idea when the next reveal will be. I will do it when there's baseball being played.

I'll be sure to let everyone know when the FINAL REVEAL will take place though!

I think maybe I was thinking of K/BB rate instead of WHIP. Whatever it was, it was always Cliff Lee ... Marco Estrada... big gap ... everyone else

And for that, I always drafted and held Estrada and rode him right into the toilet with every gopher ball he served up at Rogers Centre

Alex Wood and Chase Anderson, 152.1 and 141.1 innings.

Didn't count Carrasco because I was too lazy to look up the rounding of his WHIP (ESPN shows it at 1.10).

The record seems to indicate you picked far less Dodgers than you always think you did.

ya it's weird I didn't go back and check any of my answers and didn't remember any of them so every reveal is a surprise but I really thought I just picked all dodgers.

23. Name a starting pitcher with 200 K's
24. Name a starting pitcher with 20 Quality Starts (6+ IP, < 3 ER)
25. Name a team with a negative run differential (0 = incorrect)

Without looking at my selections, I am sure I at least didn't get 23 and 25 wrong. Don't know if I can overtake LFC though.
