Rizzo with the healthy early lead.

Not anymore.

Rizzo - .773 OPS

Abreu - .926 OPS

Ya boy slumping

How the tables have turned. Again.

Rizzo .801
Abreu .690 (Ouchies!)

Both should finish...well above current numbers.

I think Abreu's trying to finish with a sub .500 OPS. My $100 might be in trouble.

I'll let you buy out for $80. This is getting ugly.

No, defensive metrics are not factored into OPS.

Yeah Douche I get that.

Just sayin... Rizzo vs. ABREOO (odd but whatever) isn't really even a contest IRL. The more valuable player by a wide margin is rizzo.

Yeah, because teams win with a dominant defensive first basemen.

Anyways, it is good that Kirkwood is banned because then he can't collect when he wins this bet from me.

I heard Kirkwood paid bigfan $1000 to get unbanned just so he could come here and collect Rick's $100.

Abreu has had 4 multi-hit games in a row. He will probably hit at least 3 homers on the upcoming homestand with the warmer weather. Rizzo finally will be going up against some good pitching. Could be the turning point for this bet!

8 singles.

No one has ever criticized Abreu for being an excellent singles hitter. The only knock against him is that he doesn't have Jose Altuve power.

After completion of the Cubs' game and after Abreu's first 2 PA tonight:

.988
.708 (now slightly lower after he struck out in the 6th)

It is kind of Abreu to slump at the same time as Rizzo so I don't get nervous over this bet.

I started keeping track of the PA instead of OPS awhile ago for this bet.

We said 600, right?
He'll require a season ending injury. A tight hammy won't do the trick.

I think so. I definitely attempted to get into that group bet but I don't believe that ever materialized. Due to changes in board membership. And board acronym.

In reading the thread again, Brick may owe someone. Maybe me...maybe Kirkwood?

Glad this bet was cancelled when we changed the domain name.

Looks like Rizzo will win another year. Abreu is better than I thought, and consistent, but just doesn't measure up to Rizzo.
