[Edgy MD]

Point of order — Had McNeil struck out after falling to 0-2 on the weird pitch clock violation, would he be the answer on #13, or does it have to be a violation for strike three?

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

I was thinking about that while that turn was going on. It looked like a hard decision was coming but Jeff said fuck that.



I guess it's true. If you get a strike for a clock violation and strike out, it played a role in that whiff.

[Edgy MD]

I'm sitting on seven points.



Looks like a few of us swept the pitching categories by going the Captain Obvious route.

[Johnny Lunchbucket]

Updated answer sheet. Just waiting for a triple and the 3 fuckup categories to populate. That's positive
