Blue Jays First Home Run Contest Thread

[Dylan]

but that would be an easy pick.. and boring! Unless I made it worth .5?

Or if your wrong I subtract a point for betting against the jays? lol

Today’s Matchup - May 11th, (1:35pm EST)

Jays @ Red Sox – Series 2/3

Opponent Pitcher: RHP Bucholz (6-0, 1.60)

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. Points will change daily depending on whether the player is on a hot or cold streak, and bonus points will be available on random days. 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.

[Angrioter]

Adam Lind dinger against Buchholz second At-bat (Bonus for that?)

[Dylan]

Interesting lineup, I'm going with Jose.

[SumoNinja]

Going with Boni, because I hate myself.

[Angrioter]

Going with Boni, because I hate myself.

 

Now I hate you too.

[Dude]

Melky

[dmrich28]

Was thinking Lind as well but since Angrioter took him first and just to be different I'll take Rasmus running into one today. Good luck all!!

[o2cui2i]

you should carry the points over when no one hits one. so today the least would be 3 and most 18.

[o2cui2i]

Melky today, he's got all his power from the left and he's gonna take one down around pesky pole!!!

I thought about that but that would be too many points lol

[vdubmvp]

Lind

[o2cui2i]

I thought about that but that would be too many points lol

 

not really... only carry the points if not one hits a HR. not if no one guesses right. it will be the same points as if someone won every day. makes the games after no one going long VERY INTERESTING!! lol

 

carry half the points rounding up if you think it's too much. so if the player was 4 to win yesterday, he's six the day after no one hits one.... or carry the total points and a lot them differently.

 

 

just ideas.

[jays_fever]

Edit sorry : Bautista

[theblujay]

Boni

[dineke]

Kawasaki
