Spring Training Sporcle Quiz

In case you're wondering, ignore the URL name. I did a 2010 spring training quiz, and it was just easier to change the info on a new one.

42/57

Not bad. Missed a lot of the non roster pitchers.

The secret, is to hit the computer with a hammer

I thought of Dionner Navarro in concept, but couldn’t remember his name. Side note, how come 80% of people got Denis Phipps—more than Chapman, Hanigan, Heisey, and more? Did a bunch of people just misspell Phillips, perhaps?

I too got 41/57

I got hung up on one NRI name and could neither remember it nor get it out of my head. My last 2 minutes were wasted. Probably wouldn’t have remembered more than 2 or 3 others though. I nailed all of the probable 25-man roster guys. So, there’s that!

It might have something to do with the changes I made.

When I set this quiz up for 2010 Spring Training, Denis Phipps’s (gr?) line must’ve been someone super-awesome, like Laynce Nix or Drew Sutton. So I assume that it keeps the same statistical info from previous quizzes, regardless of the change in info.

Thanks!

I saw him on MLBTR, but he wasn’t on the roster when I put it up this morning. I’ll add him in.

Ondrusek and Jordan Smith were the two most egregious misses of mine. And got the whole first column!

It wouldn’t take my spellings of “villareal” and “kris” negron and I got flustered

Crap! Forgot Kris.

My bad. I guess I figure everyone just goes last names. I’ll fix it.

some are just so fresh they don’t come to mind (Navarro, Harris). having a clock to fluster you changes everything!

only 32/58

I forgot Harris and couldn’t spell Fransisco, apparently.

Misspelled Villarreal about twelve times, and never did get it. Everyone I missed was a pitcher, although I felt like I should have been able to remember all except Zapada, Mahay, and Gallagher. Ten minutes would have been better.

Trying to pull off "having no money and talking to no one" as well as the Reds have.
