Blue Jays First Home Run Contest Thread

[Dylan]

Have we discussed choosing a "no homer" option? Or would that be too easy?

 

I think it would be too easy. Would be the obvious pick to go with, even if it was only worth .5 points.

 

I think the game following a no homer game will be special though. For example today is pick 2 players, next time double points etc.

Does it work like beat the streak's doubledown? Is it first two players to hit a homer, or you have to order them, or any two players to hit a homer?

Today’s Matchup - May 18th, (1:05pm EST)

Blue Jays @ Yankees – Series 2/3

Opponent Pitcher: RHP Phelps (1-2, 4.43)

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.

Same as we normally do it except you can pick two players. Only the first home run will count.
