MLB Beat the Streak

The goal is to try and beat DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak. As of last season you could make two selections per day and if you didn't make a pick on a day your streak would still be active. Nobody has beaten the record yet. I believe a guy got to 49 or something last season. If enough people post here, could this be stickied? I made it to 20 or so last season. It seems so easy, but it's not at all.

Thanks and good luck!

I have never actually played!

It's really fun and only takes a couple minutes to do each day.

Additionally last season they had a couple nights where you pick 56 guys you think will get a hit and it rewards the top prize. I think someone got 50 out 56. I got 43.

Thanks. Sounds like fun and doesn't take up a lot of time. I'll check it out.

Version for 2014 is available. Rules appear to be the same. They have more prizes available this time around. I think you can start winning stuff at a 10 game streak.

I tried this for the first time last year and liked it. It can be very frustrating at times but it gives me something to root for on a daily basis. I think I was too aggressive last year picking 2 every day. This year I am going to try to get to 15 then just pick cabrera/trout when they face bad starters or days after they went hitless. Looking at the game logs neither went hitless 2 games in a row very often. I think Cabrera had a hit in close to 140 games last year. Might take Freeman a lot vs mediocre RH pitching.

Yeah picking match ups is a big key here.

Took AGon last night and he went hitless.

Have Freeman and Miggy today.

Clearly.

[Dalyn]

I picked Freeman first and Heyward second. Does that put me at 0 or 1 (since my second pick got a hit)?

[NinersSBChamps]

Zero. If you pick two guys both must record a hit or streak doesn't continue.

Okay. Thanks!

[cajunrevenge]

And I officially hate this game.

[NinersSBChamps]

[Dalyn]

Not doing well early.
