Well, pending Quarantine's possible outcome, I just finished with 94 wins and 259 errors. I'll try to figure out how to link to that later...

too late to get into the first group... any hints for working on the future challenges?

too late to get into the first group... any hints for working on the future challenges?

The HR bounty is still live, and I've got a couple more I'll roll out right before the new year. I've had some great ideas and suggestions, but verification on some is more challenging and I want it to be relatively simple. I'll probably roll out more variations of the time based ones rather than the totals based ones. Though, I'm trying to work out a way to bring back a variation of the pitching wins bounty.

Just took down chargingryno's single game SB record of 26 with a 30-spot. '74 Lou Brock is slightly behind the pace for individual season record, currently on pace for 215 vs the the current record of 219 by chargingryno's '85 Vince Coleman. And despite the recent explosion, the team overall has significantly slowed its pace of SBs in the 2nd half of the year, but am still on pace for 1,319 vs chargingryno's current record of 1,271.

Also up to 79 wins and 218 errors through 127 games, on pace for 278 errors and 101 wins. Shaping up to be a photo finish all around!

This is fabulous! You're going to push chargingryno to try to get his records back!

Grand Theft Motto III Update (https://www.whatifsports.com/mlb-l/playerstats.asp?teamid=1550148):

Just hit 90 wins with 16 games remaining (currently 90-56). Also up to 274 errors, and with a 16 game lead in the division, can start playing around with putting guys out of position to see if we can't reach 300 by the end of the season. Shout out to Tim Raines and Maury Wills combining for 110 errors in my middle infield (so far).

TEAM TOTALS	--	--	1563	1168	11,952.0	3984	1662	274	375	28	84	.954	--

On the SB front, currently sitting at 1,186 SB and 142 CS, for a net of 1,044. I'm already well out in front of my current lead for the bounty, so really have my eyes set on chargingryno's single season record of 1,271. Only need about 5.4 SB per remaining game to get there and averaging about 8.1 SB per game on the season so far, so looking good, but it is 2020 after all and crazier things have happened. '74 Lou Brock is currently sitting at 193 SB, which puts his pace at 214 for the season, as compared to chargingryno's record of 219. So going to need to pick up the pace to get that one!

I'l' update folllowing the 12/31 pm2 games with my final errors and net SB for those two bounties, and will update on season end on the various record chases.

Alright, final update on the bounty front. My team ended 2020 with a 96-60 record, 1,135 net stolen bases (1,281 SB - 146 CS), and 299 errors.

Team link: https://www.whatifsports.com/mlb-l/playerstats.asp?teamid=1550148

For record purposes, I've already passed the team season record, and still have 6 games against D- arm catchers remaining, so hoping to push that well up into the 1,300s before its all said and done.

'74 Lou Brock is up to 208 SB, so will need 12 over the last 6 games to take the individual record from chargingryno. Either way, looking good to secure at least the 2nd best season of all time, which currently sits at 209 *knock on wood*.

Thanks for organizing this just4me, had a blast chasing down these bounties, looking forward to pursuing some new challenges in 2021!

Nice work! I’ll update tomorrow... I’m on mobile now and it’s kind of a challenge.

Page 1 update, including the launch of bounties 6 & 7...

I included my bests (so far during the my attempts for bounty #2) as the current leaders for #6 & #7 for a frame of reference to target.

You might consider starting different threads for different bounties.

I was trying not to clutter up the forum, but you may be right...
