0 Subject: Beat the Streak 2015

Anybody else still doing BTS? I took a year or two off but stumbled across the app for my iPhone which makes participating VERY easy. Best streak so far is laughably short for me. So far I've had streaks broken by Mike Trout, Jose Altuve, Adrian Gonzalez (my first streak was broken by his first 0-fer which was my first time picking him) and Miguel Cabrera.

And yes, I'm doubling down every day.

I try every year with minimal success. My longest ever was 13 games (last year.) This year I had my first streak (4) ended by Andrew McCutchen.
I have another four game streak currently underway with today's picks forthcoming.

Still play it. Having trouble getting anything significant going, I think I did better before the double down feature when you could only pick one player each day. Now I always pick two hitters every day.

One month in and my best this year is 4.

Thats it. Im done with Miguel Cabrera and Mike Trout. Every single time I've picked Trout he goes hitless and only once that I picked Cabrera did he get a hit.

Longest streak of the season is at 6. Went with dee Gordon today. 0-4 vs Wood, then singles in the 9th. Up to Jose Abreu now to give me 8.

9 game streak going. Doubled down last night but Freddy Galvis didn't play so only got credit for 1. Right now I've got Miguel Cabrera (why not) and Dee Gordon going tonight.

Well Cabrera finally came thru. And Mr. .400 Dee Gordon lets me down for the first time this year.

It was a good run, but Miguel Cabrera ended my streak at 25 games yesterday.

Didn't win the $5.6 million, but I did see my name on page 1 of the leaderboard, and got 1 free month of mlb.tv out of the deal.

Sweet, congratz.

I have a new strategy. I'm going for 56 consecutive games without a hit. Seems a lot more likely.

I'm up to 12. That gives me a rank of 1777th for current streaks. I'm going to double jinx it by stating that Jose Altuve will get at least one hit tonight.
