No winners today.

Gose would've had an inside-the-parker had Jones not made that crazy catch.

 

Who was the last Jay to hit an inside the parker?

 

I vaguely remember Rod Barajas (I think) hitting a ball out to Melky Cabrera in CF for the Yankees in '09, who booted it, and Barajas was going for 3rd and Jeter, the cutoff man, through the ball away, and Barajas scored. Not sure how it was scored.

[o2cui2i]

Gose would've had an inside-the-parker had Jones not made that crazy catch.

 

that was an amazing catch

[GD]

Bautista had one a couple years ago I think.

 

2010. That's the most recent I can find.

[admin]

I'd so be winning if I played every game!

[Dylan]

I've yet to score, I feel there is never a home run when I do a bonus day lol

[o2cui2i]

No winners today.

 

we all won today and we have a hero, his name is Kawasaki!!!

Today’s Matchup - May 27th, (7:07pm EST)

Braves @ Blue Jays – Series 1/4

Opponent Pitcher: RHP Hudson (4-3, 498)

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!
