Stat Challenge: Win my copy of The Bullpen Gospels
Posted by Andy on August 25, 2010
The Stat Challenge returns!
The winning entrant will receive my copy of Dirk Hayhurst's The Bullpen Gospels. I previously reviewed the book right here.
To enter, post a comment below with what you think the Game Score will be for the Phillies' starting pitcher on Friday August 27th. Currently Roy Oswalt is the scheduled starter. As a tiebreaker, also guess the Game Score for the Padres' starting pitcher in that same game, currently scheduled to be Mat Latos.
If there are identical posts with the same two guesses, the earliest post is the one that counts. Only one entry per contestant. Entries must be in before the first pitch of the game.
In the event of something funky like a rainout, I'll find some fair way to handle the content (probably a do-over.)

Boy, I hope he can stil start, what with being tuckered out from playing left field last night.

Oswalt's a pitcher? I could have sworn he was a left fielder.

Why? Absolutely no reason at all. Not an ounce of logic behind those guesses.

Wow Chipmaker (#10)! That was some prediction. Oswalt on the money and Latos off by 1.
Mike (#50) was amazingly close,as well. I guess no logic is the way to go.

Here's the game:

Oswalt finished with a 74 and Latos with a 67. As Raphy said, Chipmaker wins.

I just got lucky, folks, but it's good to be lucky. I received the book today, and I thank Andrew for the contest and the nice prize.
