Pick'em Points Update and Cut......

[OldTimer]

Mookie and AllVol appear to be the 2 front runners, however with the Supers and potential CWS approaching, I made the cut line at he top 15 players.

Feel free to pick in the future Pick'ems however I'm only going to count the top 15 players.

Mad4Vols finished -124, a record that will likely stand forever, congrats Mad!!!

IMPORTANT: THE TOP 15 PLAYERS MUST BOLD THIER PICKS IN THE FUTURE PICK'EMS, THAT WAY I CAN QUICKLY GO THROUGH THEM AND TALLY EVERYTHING. IF YOU DO NOT BOLD THE PICK, IT WILL NOT BE COUNTED.

Thanks for all your hard work, yet again, for another great pick 'em year, OT. If you ever get tired of your day job Vegas could use your services as a professional handicapper.

 

[AllVolinGA]

Thanks for the hard work, @OldTimer. You effort adds a wonderful dimension to an already awesome time of Vo!s Baseball and hanging in the Baseball forum. @mad4vols you are without a doubt, a VolNation treasure. Never change.

Tied for 22nd. Cut line shoulda been 25..lol. Thanks OT for all your hard work.

 

[TheBigOne10]

Back out of the rut and in the Top 5 again. Let’s dance!

 

[Ttucke11]

I made the cut! Thanks @OldTimer this has been fun.

Gotta feel bad for @cthvolsfan

Gotta feel bad for @cthvolsfan

I hit my last pick but didnt double up or I might have slid in there

 

[OldTimer]

theoretically there colud be a 40 point swing in each game, one person would have to double and get both wrong and the other double and get both right. Odds are very slim for the 40 point swing, chances are better for 5 and 10 point swings. Mathematically lots of folks are still in play however the chances of anyone out of the top 4 or 5 are very remote. Also depends on how many games are played too, we could play 2 or 8. If I was a betting man, its a 2 horse race right now........

You should consider cutting it down to a final 4 for the CWS. Make the final race easy to follow.

Am I still mathematically in play?

would you like for me to sugarcoat it or to be honest with you?

I like that idea, something that might not be as popular is if I started the final 4 at 0 points.........Ummmmmmm

I will reserve commentary on this potential rule change for now, Mr. Manfred

OH, now that's an interesting idea.
Every team that makes the CWS has to start over.....so why not.

LOL

You'll still be able to say you were one of the greatest regular season pickers of all time.

The vote would be 3-1 yes.

 

[MAD]

[TheMookieMonster]

If this major rule change does occur, that might change how I pick these last 3 games, so a heads up would be nice, but understandably not required. Just no reason to take a risk if it doesn’t really matter. I might rest my starters.

 

[TheMookieMonster]

Yes, but there is no reward for the regular season

Lets just say a snowball has more of a chance in Hades and leave it at that. But, there's always next season. Hey, you should do one of these for the Lady Vols Soccer team in the fall.
