Lol you Price Is Righted me with the number of feet, only 5 feet more than me.

Different player though. The player is the most important aspect, with the tiebreaker than being who was closer to the # of feet.

Or maybe I do 1 point for the correct player, and another 1 point if you're the closest to # of feet. I rarely have two people guess the same player though.

Wait, the same procedure would be for the 2nd category.

I must be rusty at this predictions game, as I forgot how I scored it in the past. I guess this one is unique in its format, since it's only once a year.

Don't think I like the intros the PA is saying for the players.

OMG I forgot the best part of the ASG predictions game.

Does the MVP pick a Chevy Car or Truck or SUV?

You don't have to list the model. Just the vehicle type.

However, I checked the history, there hasn't been an on field Chevy vehicle since 2019.

Still, it's my favorite part, so just in case it's back this year:

I will take car, because I'm thinking the hotter weather this year is more conducive to selling convertibles.

In 2019, it was actually truck or truck.

Shane Bieber chose the Red Silverado Z71 Truck over the White Silverado High Country.

I'm gonna say Chevy Car. I drive a Cruze which aren't even made anymore but I'm sure the most expensive model is what they will be putting out there

What was the most appealing thing about the Cruze? Do you have a 2.0L engine?

I'll take the NL in a win.

I want to say Paul Skenes as MVP, even though pitchers get it less than once a decade. And I can't recall a starting pitcher ever getting MVP.

So I'll go with Bryce Harper.

HR Derby Predictions Results

@nuraman00: 0 points

@Trueblood: 0 points

Didn't get the right player for any of the 3 categories.

I had the right number for most in a round, but wrong player.

3 -3 after 3 innings.

Not a good showing for my predictions. Was obviously hoping that the NL would get 4 more runs. At least Ohtani homered

That was a good prediction, yes.
