Stat Challenge: Week 2

Posted by Andy on May 28, 2010

Here are the questions for Week 2 of the Stat Challenge. A few things:

  • Each weekly winner gets a 6-month Play Index subscription! So even if you didn't enter last week, you can win this week.
  • Remember to submit your entry by 1:05 on Monday, as there are day games on Memorial Day.
  • Check out the official rules, which I have updated slightly. One thing I added is that in the event of a first-place tie, the winner will be the person who submitted their entry first.
  • Fill out the form that follows to submit your entry. If you can't see it, you might need to disable ad-blocking software.

For Question #1, the Play Index Team Batting Event Finder is the way to go. Set to 2 outs, relative score tied, home runs, and all teams, and you can easily see how many times this has been done already this season. (The answer is 104 for the season to date as of this writing.)

For Question #2, a PI Player Batting Game Finder is in order. Set position to CF and hits >= 2 and away we go.

For Question #3, use a Team Batting Game Finder, set h = 5, and you'll get your answer. There have been 97 such games so far.

For Question #4, check out Morneau's game logs for 2010.

For Question #5, there are numerous ways to look up the Blue Jays strikeout totals. Hey, I can't spoon-feed you everything 🙂

    Simply refreshing the page might also make the form show up. I couldn't see it on a couple occasions, but it popped right up after reloading.

    I had troublebecause of my security before, so I am not certain whether or not my entry was received this week. If it was, please attribute this secondentry to computer illiteracy.
