Blue Jays First Home Run Contest Thread

[Dylan]

Probably better to keep it transparent. Perhaps we could do something different though like getting the first home run of the day right is worth 2 bonus points, 2nd 1 bonus point, 3rd just the player points, etc.

 

So people predict as many players that want in a row? so for example 1. Jose first home run, edwin 2nd, reyes 3rd?

 

 

Here is another simple idea.

how many home runs will the jays hit today?

 

If you guess correctly

 

0-1 +1 bonus

2 +2 bonus

3 +3 bonus

4+ +8 bonus

Today’s Matchup - July 2nd (7:07pm EST)

Tigers @ Blue Jays 2 of 4

Opponent Pitcher: RHP Fister (6-5, 3.50)

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 2 hours before the game. I will post updated standings and the top 18 members will make the playoffs beginning August 26th. (playoff info to be posted later)

LET'S GO BLUE JAYS!!!

[kcjaysfan]

I'll go with Davis today.

[bowld]

Rasmus

[8D]

I'll go with Edwing. Too hard to pass up on with 20pts next to his name!

[kcjaysfan]

I'll go with Edwing. Too hard to pass up on with 20pts next to his name!

 

As of yet, he's not in the starting lineup tonight.

[flafson]

As of yet, he's not in the starting lineup tonight.

 

He's on the bench.

[Dylan]

How do you get a negative?

 

One of the bonus days earlier was to bet which team hit the first home run, if you got it wrong -1 point.

[8D]

As of yet, he's not in the starting lineup tonight.

 

He's on the bench tonight. Still too tempting with 20pts!

[fatcowxlive]

Rajai Davis!

[Dylan]

I'm going with DeRosa again!

[kcjaysfan]

He's on the bench.

 

Yeah, I was just letting him know he's not actually starting.

 

That's why he's 20 points. Pinch hit bomb.

 

That would be a pretty sweet

 

He's on the bench tonight. Still too tempting with 20pts!

 

Good luck!

[fatcowxlive]

That's why he's 20 points. Pinch hit bomb.

 

I doubt it, has a sore wrist + tight hamstring... not much power can be generated with a hammy problem and a hurt wrist lol
