- Days like this were bound to happen but let's just hope for the sake of the poor Google sheet they don't happen too frequently in the 2022 Pick One Challenge.
- First let's get the unpleasantness out of the way with the four folks who weren't part of the absurd six way tie at the top of the daily leaderboard.
- Michael Brantley took two people down with him in Houston's nightcap against the Mariners. Pavli and Ryan could not get a single hit from the Astros' two-hole hitter.
- A pair of potential Hall of Famers found themselves in the blank column as Joey Votto and Miguel Cabrera went hitless for Al and Colin respectively.
- For some perspective, last season's most clusterfucked top score tie was four people. That too was also on a day where just a single was enough for a Trivial pursuit sliver of the top prize. So let's make this like a graduation and read out this six-way kerfuffle as painlessly as possible. Congratulations are in order for Jed Lowrie (Buddy), Mike Trout (Joseph), new two-time top scorer Eric Hosmer (Lenny), Dominic Smith (Matt), Ryan Mountcastle (Nate), and Last Man In Austin Barnes (Scott). May you all thrive in your next endeavors.
- Optimally, all of the shithousery from up above could have been avoided had somebody taken CJ Cron who hit two home runs in Colorado's win over the Cubs.
