I might be writing up a different outcome had this game been played last night -- but it wasn't, and the Guardians get eliminated on a crisp afternoon at Yankee Stadium. And I hoped for a different outcome, frankly, not just because one of my slates is toast (although that is part of it) but because it seemed like a marginally more interesting road for the pool generally to go down. Yeah, Judge has a ton of pickers left, but...you know. Judge has a ton of pickers left. It's not going to mix shit up much.
But this is the pool we have chosen, so to say. Let's look at the points:
Kwan 2
Ramirez 1
Judge 5
Stanton 4
The Guardian picks leave us -- and with about a half hour before the NLCS, we find our pick field whittled from 39 down to 7.
Who got whittled out of the pool field? Technically, just two of us, Fell 2 and SDB 2. Still a zombie gnawing on the doorframe of the money, but that could change if Cronenworth has a decent night.
The full standings, with zombie/recently deceased slates in italics:
39 Yuhan 1 and Reid 2
37 Crase
35 Rogge
33 O'Reilly
32 Fell 2
31 Drake, Sung, and Brady
27 Cameron 2
26 JArbour
25 Cayenne 1, DGB, and Bingham 1
24 Tormey and Yuhan 2
23 SDB 2
22 Cameron 1
21 Reid 1
20 Quinn
19 Dunn
18 Stempel
14 Shotwell 2
12 Fell 1
10 SDB 1
If you only have Judge or Altuve left and you're not rocking more than 30 points already, you're probably toast -- certainly your new basement-dweller is not pre-spending any winnings over here -- but I'll keep updating slates as long as they're active.
If you see any weird math/input errors, as always, let me know; I'll fix it in the next update. Which, because this postseason is bonko, is in like 13 minutes. Good luck!
[10/18/22 10 PM edited to add: MVP for the pool is for sure Ramirez; Stanton can't really be the "least" anything with 8 TB, but it does seem like the Shane Victorino of the series is Harrison Bader.]
