Today’s Matchup - May 6th, (7:07pm EST)

Jays @ Rays – Series 1/4

Opponent Pitcher: RHP Hellickson (1-2, 4.71)

 

How to play:

Pick a player on the Jay's starting lineup that you think will hit the first bomb during today's game. If you pick the correct player you will earn the corresponding points. Players more unlikely to hit a home run will earn you more points than those likely to knock one out. Below is a list of the points each player is worth today. You can only pick one player, and you can't change once you picked. You must have your pick in before the first pitch of the game. Daily lineups will be posted roughly a hour before the game. I will keep track of points and the board member with the most points at the end of the year wins.

Thought it would be better to start a thread instead of filling up the game day threads. I will try my best to post the new lineups and points at least a hour before each game. Congrats to spanky and vdartanian for picking Rasmus as the winner for the first game!

[fatcowxlive]

You are awesome for making this, what a great idea man!

[P2F]

Great thread/idea, Dylan.

 

Is this going to be a game-day staple?

Great thread/idea, Dylan.

 

Is this going to be a game-day staple?

 

Hopefully it catches on. We did it for several years at the leafs forum... until everyone ditched the leafs a few years ago.

 

That forum use to have a bunch of different contests/trivias and gave out badges to the winners. Maybe that's something we can look into for the future, now that there is more opportunities with this board. Makes things more fun, and gives more stuff to do. Keeps the board active as well.

[P2F]

This sounds very interesting.

 

It adds a new element.

[vdartanian]

Nailed it!

 

 

Mod should make this a sticky!

[Dylan]

Do the title pictures show up for everyone? They show up for me but when I log out they just show links to attachments. Does anyone know how to post a picture without making it an attachment?

 

Edit: Nevermind I got it working.

LET'S GO BLUE JAYS!!!

[kcjaysfan]

I think Melky goes yard. First inning jack!

[Dylan]

I'm going with jose tonight.

[vdartanian]

Bautista is taking Fausto yard, my vote as well

[declan_44]

Encarnacionnnnnnnnnnnnn!!!!!!! For me please.

[GD]

I'm going Lawrie.

[declan_44]

I'm going with jose tonight.

 

The mods should move this into the sticky, seems like it will be popular all year.

[jays_fever]

I'll go with Lind

[jaysfaithful8]

JP Arencibia is going to be riding the magic from last night. He's my vote.

[bowld]

[admin]

JPA. Back to back.

[theblujay]

Lind

[impact]

Bautista is due for another homer, so Bautista it is.

[Metallijay]

I gotta go with Joey bats, he's due.

[Chappy]
