Failure, as easy as 1-2-3. (123 rarity, in other words.)
Snakes. Why does it always have to be Snakes?
I struggled to avoid using Goldschmidt in the obvious spot, dug deep for Womack there ("2b, named Tony…work, brain!") and then found myself completely in the pit on the AZ/SB slot, where, ironically, Womack was the best candidate. (2 of only 7 seasons that qualify.) I took a blind swing and struck out (Ketel Marte) and that was that.
A pity, as the rest of the board was nice (check that beauty in the center square), but coming close isn't the goal. Sigh.
BTW, starting Wednesday, the grid won't go up until 9.00 AM ET. On the theory we'll do better when we're awake, I suppose. As long as
Westie hits those 2.00 PM CET naps, we'll do fine!
