What is SCRIPTBALL?

SCRIPTBALL is a chance to see how your BTS picking strategy fares against others in the subreddit. Every Friday we post our top BTS picks for that day according to our own picking strategy in this weekly SCRIPTBALL thread. Whoever gets the most players with a hit wins, with ties resolved by total hits (first tie-breaker) and total batting average (second tie-breaker). We also keep a running season leaderboard, which will give you a better idea of how well your picking strategy is doing over a larger (more meaningful) sample size.

How do I play?

Although we call it SCRIPTBALL, you don't need to be running a fancy computer algorithm to play. Everyone is welcome.

To play, just post a list of the top 11 players you think will get a hit today in this thread. Feel free to change your list at any time, but you can only swap players as long as neither game has started yet (so if you realize one of your picks isn't starting after the game has started, don't sweat it, just swap them for someone from a later game). If you do change your list, please indicate the change by posting reply to your original list saying the change that was made (e.g. "I replaced Altuve with Ohtani").

Alternates will be automatically swapped in if a player you chose isn't in the starting lineup. For clarity, this means if your chosen player isn't starting but comes in for a PH and gets a hit, he'll still be swapped out. This is more work for me but it also lets you get your picks in sooner.

Nice work everyone. There were a few of us with 8 but only Deep Slice got 9 picks. Every Braves, Nationals and White Sox starter got a hit. Yandy Diaz went 0 for 8 in a double header just because I doubled down on him. Remember to specify which game if it's a double header and make sure your team doesn't have the day off. Good luck all!

Kind of a tough day. Vegas made 9 picks for the win. The White Sox 9th banana hit for the cycle and every spot in the Yankees lineup got a hit. Yandy Diaz and Lourdes Gurriel went 0 for 5. Good luck all!

Goforbroke and I made 10 of our picks but I won the tiebreaker thanks to Jake McCarthy. Perdomo, Antonacci, and Eaton went 0 for 5. Keep an eye on the weather. Good luck all!

It's that time of year when the world is focused on hockey, basketball and soccer while we are out here asking if Arraez got a hit. Congrats to OK Resolution with 9 picks! Jackson Merrill went 0 for 5. Top of the u/tigers lineup went 0 for 30.
Bottom of the u/phillies & u/sfgiants lineups went 0 for 26. Every spot in the u/mariners, u/angels & u/cardinals lineups got a hit.

(I'll update your stats next week. I misplaced my paperwork.)

SCRIPTBALL 2026 Week 9

Friday May 22

Picks: 10

Alternates: Post as many as you like.
What is SCRIPTBALL?

SCRIPTBALL is a chance to see how your BTS picking strategy fares against others in the subreddit. Every Friday we post our top BTS picks for that day according to our own picking strategy in this weekly SCRIPTBALL thread. Whoever gets the most players with a hit wins, with ties resolved by total hits (first tie-breaker) and total batting average (second tie-breaker). We also keep a running season leaderboard, which will give you a better idea of how well your picking strategy is doing over a larger (more meaningful) sample size.

How do I play?

Although we call it SCRIPTBALL, you don't need to be running a fancy computer algorithm to play. Everyone is welcome.

To play, just post a list of the top 10 players you think will get a hit today in this thread. Feel free to change your list at any time, but you can only swap players as long as neither game has started yet (so if you realize one of your picks isn't starting after the game has started, don't sweat it, just swap them for someone from a later game). If you do change your list, please indicate the change by posting reply to your original list saying the change that was made (e.g. "I replaced Altuve with Ohtani").

Alternates will be automatically swapped in if a player you chose isn't in the starting lineup. For clarity, this means if your chosen player isn't starting but comes in for a PH and gets a hit, he'll still be swapped out. This is more work for me but it also lets you get your picks in sooner.

Congrats Deep Slice for getting 9 last week! Marte, Betts and Rutschman were just a few who went 0 for 5. Every Cubs starter hit. If anyone picks Guerrero again, I'm not even going to count it. Sorry!

Good luck all!

Congrats msteeks for winning the double tie breaker last week by just one AB! The Padres got one hit, Trea Turner went 0 for 6 and Hoerner, Wood, Albies and Raleigh went 0 for 5. Guerrero killed us again.

Good luck all!

Congrats to Goforbroke on getting her first win, and it was not even close! She got all 10, while no one else even got 9. Her unconventional strategy finally paid off. Your favorite lefties all went 0 for 5: ohtani, alvarez, schwarber, sanchez, mcgonigle, and carroll. Guerrero was a straight embarrassment. Can he redeem himself this week?

Good luck all!

Msteeks was the only one to get all 10. Every Marlins starter got a hit. Buxton and Baldwin went 0 for 5.

Oh Wow Vegas and I both got a perfect 10, but he won the tie breaker. Teoscar, Ozzie and Gunnar all went 0 for 5. Every Giants starter got a hit.
