Late to the game, but I'll take 86 wins. Not sure why there is a Kelenic OPS option, since there aren't going to be ties the way the list is above, right?
No you need to submit his OPS because there can be ties.
Obviously I was too lazy to read the rules! In that case I want 88 Wins and .700.

Today, the Braves are kicked the Phillies' brotherly love ass all over the place.
Five Atlantian batters had 3 hits apiece.

Here's something to consider while we mere mortals talk about OPS:

JK: 4-AB, 1-Run, 3-Singles, 2-RBI, 0-HR, 1-BB, 0-K, .667 \ .714 \ .667 \ 1.381 OPS

Is it:

1.) Coaching
2.) Maturity
3.) or just 2 games?

4.) If he finishes 2024 with an OPS of 1.381, do we trade for him straight up for Julio :shock: ? :lol:

It’s 3), all day long.

Remember when he first came up with the M’s? He hit that double and we all thought he was the second coming. Then they threw him curveballs down and away.

And I thought that maybe, just maybe, "Dud"tin Ackley could be borderline HOF material. :oops:

Here's what I see for this contest if last year's rules apply (There Can Be Only 1):

I know I had to change mine in 2023. If right, changes must be on or by 3/31. Don't stampede.

*edit - see post below; I guess it was allowed to have multiple win total picks last year.
Now gotta go back and update with JK's OPS%. Damn.
No re-picks necessary.

Just in case it comes down to the tie breaker, so there's no confusion. The intent is just to guess 'closest to' on the OPS tie breaker. Not the closest to without going over.

So if, for example, we had 89 wins, and Kelenic finished with a .670 OPS, then Mariner4Life would win because his guess was closer than mine.

Yeah when I said I need the under of .675 it was because I would be closer than desbcoach. I guessed .657
