Today’s Matchup - May 30th, (12:37pm EST)

Blue Jays @ Braves– Series 4/4

Opponent Pitcher: LHP Minor (6-2, 2.47)

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!

Technically you said to state if the Braves would hit the first home run or not (which they didn't since no one did), but I don't think that's what the intent was. I have no issue with no one losing points on it. Those kind of bonus days would probably be better to do on days when the pitching matchup is a little more even, regardless of how things turned out yesterday.

If no home runs are made in the game then everything is just cancelled. Just like the streaks never end if jays don't hit any. The Braves did not hit the first one but neither did the Jays so it cancels eachother out.
