Blue Jays First Home Run Contest Thread

[o2cui2i]

Thanks for playing. OPS quiz answer:

 

Blanco .465

Izturis .554

Bonifacio .584

Kawasaki .613

 

2009 Josh Johnson .620

 

Lawrie .642

 

melky and then JPA after that? neither of them are more than about 670-705ish

[G-Snarls]

^ That is so sad.

 

Yep

 

No one expected Blanco to hit at all

 

But when you have one or both of Izturis and Bonifacio in the lineup it's just so weak at the bottom of the order

[Dylan]

I'm going with Jose

[SumoNinja]

Jose for me as well.

ffs haha

[o2cui2i]

I'm going to take Jose tonight against SF.

[Angrioter]

Lind

[G-Snarls]

I'm taking pitching. Because JJ can actually hit and it's worth 20 points.

 

Problem is, it's rather likely someone tees off on poor Lincecum before JJ even gets an at bat

 

Still. Pitching for me.

[G-Snarls]

Lind

 

Even against a lefty

 

I love this new all-purpose Lind.

[Angrioter]

Even against a lefty

 

I love this new all-purpose Lind.

 

Lincecum is righty

[G-Snarls]

Lincecum is righty

 

I must be smoking the same stuff he is. Duh.

[bowld]

[Chappy]

Melky.

Today’s Matchup - June 4th, (10:15pm EST)

Blue Jays @ Giants 1 of 2

Opponent Pitcher: RHP Lincecum (3-5, 5.12)

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!
