2,000 sats paid
grayruby's bounties
Why me, @Undisciplined and @siggy47 received 2k?
reply
I don't understand what you are asking. Undisciplined and Siggy did not receive 2k.
reply
I just realized we didn't get paid the bounty. The 'bounty paid' icon is missing. Looks like someone came in here and screwed things up. Thanks, anon :)
reply
Maybe not from you
reply
Oh I see. Yeah definitely something off. I see you guys have 2000 sats. But all of you are showing 20 sats from me which was just me registering your picks yesterday. Odd.
reply
Mr. 2K is back on the scene🤠
reply
Yes. I graciously accept his gift.
Thank you mysterious friend.
reply
It must be that non-Siggy hider. The others who have spent enough, seem to have their spending accounted for.
reply
Good question
reply
I don't understand what he is referring to.
reply
Our comments all got 2k zaps a few minutes ago.
If you admit that you fat-fingered it or forgot to reset your default zap, I'll give mine back.
reply
He couldn't have done it because he hasn't spent 6k today.
reply
No, it wasn't me. All of you are showing 20 sats from me when I hover over the sats amount.
reply
Good sleuthing. Who has spent that much?
reply
itsTomekK, orthwyrm, Alby spent over 6k, but it might have been a hidden or an anon. It's impossible to know for sure.
reply
The snail zapped almost 200k sats today.
More paranemo events. I think he has been possessed by nemo.
One of those hiders is presumably siggy, so it couldn't be him.
No one picking the Polar Bear?
reply
Whops! Missed this, but yeah, went in on him for the two free DraftKings bets, and might as well keep going here!
Alonso 325

Polar Bear’s pitcher let him down. He was all over the place.

Teoscar Hernandez 270

Congrats, I guess.
reply
Former Blue Jay. I like your line of thinking. Tiebreaker might be a bit light.

Nicely done!

Not this time.

That's a lot of home runs.
reply
Is it? I looked at last year's, but otherwise I have no feel for this. Looks like I've got the over, out of the other responses.
reply
Last years was the highest total ever. There is a slight change to the event this year with a maximum of 40 pitches per round and 27 pitches for the final. Not sure how it will impact the results yet but some guys were hitting rapid fire last year going for the as many swings as possible in the time limit approach. We will see how it affects the results. I don't think you are excessively high. Probably exceeds 300 but I am not sure we get to 350.
reply
I still like my odds, given the other picks, although 330 would have been much better.
reply
I really feel like this could be an interesting one... Someone like Hernandez who hasn't hit a ton of them this year could be a nice black horse or even Garcia... I am going to have to think this one though!

It was brutal.
