Week 2 has ended in our MLB survivor pool.
Current prize pool: 22,299 sats
The following players received strikes this week:
-@siggy47 @supercyclone @StillStackinAfterAllTheseYears @Coinsreporter @Athena have all struck out. A couple stackers have mentioned the idea of allowing participants to buy back in for a third strike. I am ok with it but it means it is more likely we will go to a tiebreaker at the end of the pool. I would like feedback from participants. Do you guys want a buy in third strike and how much should it be (2000 sats?)? Majority will decide. I do have picks this week for all the eliminated players just in case. I would just need to buy ins from them.
The rest of the week played out as follows:

Good Luck in week 3! Let me know about the potential third strike buy in.
I shall abstain since I would benefit. To be honest, though, I don't think it sets a great precedent to change the rules in the middle of a contest.
reply
Pretty much exactly what I was going to say.
reply
Ok noted. So far 3 votes for third strike buy. 2 against.
reply
Fair. It was not an eliminated party that suggested it.
reply
it was me!
We learned that making picks don't get easier after the all star break.
Assumption: We know all the good and bad teams, picking will be easier after the all star break lol
reply
Indeed. I will put you as a yes vote.

The short week threw everyone off
Oakland won the first weekend

@supercyclone was eliminated?
I guess teenagers are not as smart as they think and the old guys are not as dumb they think lol
I'm teasing, I'm glad you participated and will participate in the future
reply
He has been assisting in keeping track of the tiebreaker run differentials and is earning sats for his efforts, so he is doing ok despite the bruised pride.
reply
I’m glad the two of you are working together
reply
Let's just award this pool to @grayruby! Lol! He's got every insider information. Also sharing it with @Turdinthepunchbowl +23 is the highest ever tiebreaker score! It's a record!
reply
I just copy Turd's picks.
reply
So, you're even dropping this on Turd? Turd is very generous, he zapped the Olympics pool with so many sats!!!
reply
Turd is great. I try not to hold the fact that he is a Packers fan against him.
reply
Mariners getting swept by the Angels was not in the plan, but thankfully they had a 3 game set with the hapless White Sox.
I like the third strike buy in idea.
reply
Ok I will put you in as a yes vote.
reply
I love the buy-in third strike idea.
reply
Ok. Noted you as a yes vote.
reply
Rough week. No one picked a winning record, it looks like.
reply
At one point it was looking like everyone might get strikes.
reply
I'm always in favour of buy ins. You all already know it. Keep the rebuy to 10% of the pool prize!!

I like the idea of a buy in, but I’d prefer to start the rule change at the start of a new season.
reply
Ok, putting you down as no.
