That is exactly what i had in mind when i saw that Bautista hit one out of here, my first point in like 20 attempts.

What I think would be really cool to see is not just how many points we have, but the ratio of our correct choices to total choices.

[flafson]

Considering that one person does it manually, it's not going to happen.

Today’s Matchup - July 6th (1:07pm EST)

Twins @ Jays 2 of 3

Opponent Pitcher: RHP Pelfrey (3-6, 6.11)

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)

Gimme Rasmus today

[Frenchsoup]

Lind

[dmrich28]

July 6th pick - Edwin

[kcjaysfan]

We can start doing that next year. Too far in to do it for this year unless someone wants to go through all the pages haha

 

I went through the first five or six games last night. Now that I have the spreadsheet set up, it's only taking me a minute or two to do a game, so I'll see if I can get caught up. I'll let you know how it goes.

 

 

I'll pick Lind today.

[Dylan]
