Contest: When will the MLB Saves Record fall

by vladtheimpaler on Aug 29, 2008 9:39 PM PDT Comment 47 comments

Contest: When (break, tie, or not) will K-Rod become the MLB all time Saves Record Holder?

Love him or love him not so much, our boy Frankie is bearing down on the all time record for saves. Also, there are a lot of smart people on this site who can probably figure out when/if Mr. Rodriguez will break this hallowed record. The winner will receive the Title of:

“Halos Heaven Official All Time MLB Saves Record Holder Genius Prognosticator.”

The contest rules follow:

Choose Category (in subject line)

Category 1: Frankie will break the Saves Record.

Winning Question: On what date will Frankie Break the Record?

Tie Breakers

1. Number of base runners allowed by Frankie in the game where he breaks the record

(any runner who gets on counts).

2. Number of strike outs by Frankie in this game.

3. Number of total pitches thrown by Frankie in this game.

4. Jersey # of the person that Frankie gets his last out against. (#, or closest to this number wins. The first person who posts the correct # wins).

Category 2: Frankie will only tie the Saves Record. On what date will this occur?

Tie Breakers same as category 1, but on the date Frankie ties the record.

Category 3: Frankie won’t break the Saves Record (i.e. because the Angels blow out everyone the rest of the way). On what date will his last save occur?

Tie Breakers the same as the other two categories, but for the date of his last game saved.

NOTE: There has been a change, I have added a Tie Breaker 4. Those few who have already posted will get priority.

Deadline is August 31, Midnight PDT.

I will post the predictions shortly thereafter.

After posting this

I realized that I am not in the position to give an Official HH title. I hope the Rev doesn’t mind. It’s all in fun.

Angel Pitching, Angel Defense - get past that.

Link is borked, I bet it doesn't work in titles.

Try it in the body, and use the hyperlink button (looks like a chain).

First of all

It’s Sept 16.

Best guess, according to a Google Search: “The Force Unleashed” PS3 game releases on 9/16.
Or maybe the Build a Better Vader Contest winner announcement

Pick a different Tiebreaker 3

3. Number of total pitches thrown by Frankie in this game (first person who posts wins, so don’t post a number a person ahead of you posted).

AnaheimHalos61 already picked 13 for number 3.

On Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 10th vs. the Yankees ....

4 strikeouts?

Interesting, since you also predicted no one reaches base.
