TD 346 - Baseball (Final results)
Each question in this TD is (kinda, sorta) based on one of the positions on a baseball team. Because this may be a bit more difficult than some other TDs, I have included hints for many of the questions.
Rules/Notes
1) Lowest point total wins; your score for each question is equal to the total number of players submitting that same answer
2) You may use up to three drops (zero points for first, +11 for any others)
3) You may elect to take the "sheep" (most popular) answer for one question
4) There will be a BONUS of (-5) for anyone who gives 10 correct answers and does not use their "drop" or "sheep"
5) Wrong responses are the higher of either +9 points or the "sheep" answer +3
6) All answers are due by 11 PM CDT on Monday, June 5, 2017
7) Submit answers via this Google form or PM

Re: TD 346 - Baseball
At the end of the submission form there is an "Option 1" which I clicked. I don't know what that thing means, but I could not unclick it. If you got my entry then it probably hurts nothing either way. If you did not get my entry then let me know and clean up that extra click circle.

Re: TD 346 - Baseball
I got your entry and corrected the form so that "Option 1" no longer appears.
I obviously missed that in testing the post before publishing.

Re: TD 346 - Baseball
I told myself after joining Jboard that I would participate in all TD just for fun (and clearly it's a good thing it's just for fun, based on my performance in numbers 343-345) but I am going to sit this one out, as I think the shame of 9 wrong answers would be too much for me. Although I guess my assured dead last finish would save someone else from that spot...

Re: TD 346 - Baseball (Q1 & Q2 revealed)
Seriously, my category, baseball. And I have two sheep through two answers. I knew all of the pitchers and almost all of the gold glovers. Ugh. I'm sure Ichiro won't be a singleton for me on Q3, and I'm guessing that Jim Kaat will be used by quite a few on Q6 as well. **sigh** not sure how to approach these TDs anymore, maybe I need to think "differently" different It's still fun to try!

I'm so bad at this game, everything I first thought of and I thought would be a "sheep" response is a singleton or not chosen - Mays or Clemente, Trout, North Carolina. ugh.

This is basically me, super duper wheelhouse category as well. I could give you genuinely -any- of these answers at 4AM after a long night marathoning game shows. But I'm getting sheep.
At this point, I think I'm going to try something else in the next TD because this isn't working. Curious to see how this strategy plays out the rest of the way. Of course, it's not what I did, so, yeah. Le sigh.

Dah, if I'd answered local when I had the chance (Harper on 3 and Virginia on 5), I'd be doing so much better.
