LongLiveMaroth Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 Does anyone else play Immaculate Grid? It has turned into something of a morning ritual for me even if I rarely get all 9. https://www.immaculategrid.com/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take some measure of pride in jogging my memory for the team & team combos. But there was a question about Marlins & Cy Young winner that made me realize I am losing touch with MLB as a whole and maybe becoming too focused on the Tigers. I couldn’t correctly guess Sandy Alcantara from way back in 2022. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn’t correctly guess Sandy Alcantara from way back in 2022. My grid was so ugly today... In general though I can really only get it if former Tigers meet the criteria. I got two of them worked in to the five I got on today's grid. LOL! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tiger337 Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 (edited) I just tried it today and it was bad. I would have been really good at this when I was younger. Having the Marlins in the grid didn't help. I care less about the Marlins than any franchise ever.

Shades of Deivi Cruz Posted June 29, 2023 Share Posted June 29, 2023 I can usually get 7-8 of them, and have gotten 9 a few times. Usually even if a grid has a lot of possible answers, I make at least one dumb guess. It doesn't help that I try to not use obvious answers, so I end up choosing wrong simply because I thought Mo Vaughn played for the Rangers and Red Sox (he didn't, it was the Mets after Anaheim and Boston) instead of just picking Eovaldi.

RandyMarsh Posted June 30, 2023 Share Posted June 30, 2023 It's crazy to think of the 24 perfect games 5 came in a 3 stretch from 09-12 and that of course it should've been 6 with Galarraga's. Then after that stretch we gone 11 years since the next one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The theory being that a single here and there is more available against a shifted D anytime a player is willing to take it, like when your team is really scuffling against a pitcher having a good day? That's not unreasonable logic. OTOH, I think the end of the drought in the present case is easier to see simply as the result of a confluence of events leading to a particular team management putting a really terrible team on the field.
