Nice decision to let it ride with Hendricks! He has a 3 save lead over Matt Barnes heading into July.

You have until July 2nd to decide if you want to cash out with the $35 May/June prize, or let it ride through July for a chance at a $60 (May, June, July).

Please post your choice in this thread, but please do not edit that post.

If you do not make a choice by July 2nd, your mini-game is over and you win nothing.

Otherwise, we still have some fringe contenders. If you are still hanging around in the top 10 in your category, hope is not lost just yet.

Until next time....

[mrmopar]

in the past, my contests would end at all-star break, but there were often too many very close races or cases where 4-5 people were tied in a statistical category. I thought by extending it, it might make the race more clear-cut, yet still competitive. I might have to be reminded to close this out when it wraps up, so if the season ends and you don't see anything within the first 3 days, feel free to mention me in a post! Good luck again as we near the half way point of 2021!

 

[aanewport]

I will continue to let it ride, thanks again!

Dang, @aanewport is on a nice run. I am not much of a gambler myself. It would be hard not to pull the plug now, but maybe Henricks has a shot at winning you the whole contest too! Good Luck to you both, whatever you decide.

 

[aanewport]

To Mrmopar and cjedmonton,

Thank you both for these contests! I was all set to say let it ride, but the acquisition of Craig Kimbrel I fear will give Matt Barnes an opportunity to catch Liam this month. I respectfully quote Steve Miller and will "take the money and run!"

Good luck wizardofoz1982!

So much for that. Day after I let it ride he tests positive for COVID.

Now that Hand has switched leagues and is in Toronto - that means he’s done in the competition right? ;-)
