Top2500 Bloggers Reset Yesterday
levinmariz73 @ 15 reset by M.Cuddyer
The “Most Picked” not even in the lineup today. Rest or worry for those that picked McCann.
Couple typos in above list: 1) Chavez reset 3 not 31 2) Total batters selected is about 137 not 89
I will add to Lav’s post and that is there are 76 No Selections for 3.07 percent and the highest No Selection was page 6 with a streak of 18.
Thanx Vinny. If I’d known you could run the numbers, I would’ve asked you to post ’em so the day’s 2500 could be displayed accurately. As it is, it’s the Top2500 – resets + those that moved up due to resets. Oh well. Numbers will be skewed a bit for today & tomorrow.
I can run it I just need the template to post it. I can post it on days when you guys can’t get the early posts.
Mark, got that? This weekend isn’t an issue for me though. Thanx
Ya I completely forgot that Vin had the program too.
McCann isn’t injured. He’s just not catching Hudson is all. I think we will see him pinch hit tonight.
Bottom 8th leading @ home big-time. Need 1 hitter to reach base then pitcher’s spot comes up. Will they fill it with McCann?
Doesn’t matter; 3 up, 3 down. McCann pickers pause today
Boy, as a Reds fan who hates the Cardinals — and who picked Phillips tonight — you can probably imagine how I feel right now…
As a Cubs fan, I enjoyed it too. I was saying, “Phillips either get out (BTS-wise) or hit or home run to be them Cards”. Kinda torn, but either way I felt it was a plus for me
*beat
This stinks Joe Mauer 0 fer 1 with 3 walks.

A 23-gamer picked E.Aybar & 20-gamer picked H.Kendrick. Gotta hope that comes back to bite them in the doubleheader.
Lol. That’s not very nice. 😛
Mark, BOS needs just 1 extra hitter in 8th/9th for A-Gone to get another AB. Keep your fingers crossed.
Boston needs to get at least one runner on and no DP in order for A-Gone to get one more AB.
Got his 5th PA, but struck out. Doubt a tie is forthcoming. Tough luck Mark.
Looks to be a new leader tomorrow, Holliday 0-3 after 8 innings.
New leader on this Slaughter Saturday. Resets will be near 40% today & possibly greater.

FYI: R.Braun left game early yesterday (quad/calf tightness)
Well I’m good for the day. GL everyone still waiting.
I had Neil Walker and he already got a hit to get me back on the board.
What is going on with ESPN? Almost every link I click on for MLB comes up as Not Found. Irritating!
mlb gameday works fine today
I hate that I have to pick and choose between sites. One day one works and the others don’t. Then the next the ones that worked don’t and vice versa.
Ugh, how many times have you made a pick, watched the 1st inning or two, and immediately started to get a queasy feeling? Been feeling that most of the game today.
Funny thing about that word queasy.
I was at my uncle’s house yesterday (which explains why I did not post much) and we were playing anagrams and my aunt insisted that “quesy” was how it was spelled and my uncle looks up the spelling on his phone and for some reason, urban dictionary comes up and confirms that quesy is a word.
Of course,our family’s phones all had no service while he looked it up, even though we have the same provider.
We get home and see that “quesy” isn’t a word after all and I was right all along.
I know that had nothing to do with your post, but I found it surprising to see someone use the word “queasy” on here, just a day after that “quesy” controversy!
Quite a few. Not a good feeling.
Back to square zero for me; will today’s leader accompany me? We’ll see shortly
Yep, weekends tend to gobble up leaders and spit them out. No exception this weekend.
Uh oh. Braun just picked up a bat.
Really? Doubt he’ll stay in game if he PHs.If it does happen, those that picked him obviously hoping for hit or walk or bunt (not likely). Can increase reset rate today dramatically!
Just a tease, huh?
Yep. Lucroy PH instead.
Oh oh again. Braun is coming to the plate.
And he ground out.
Wow! A PH that resets over 450 Top2500 members. Amazing! Gonna be near 40% reset rate again today, back to back days.
Mark, I’ll email you the files for tomorrow’s post
Sent to both accounts.
Wow!
The Red Sox only have 3 hits so far and my pick, Dustin Pedroia, has 2 of them!
Onto 5!!!
