Blue Jays First Home Run Contest Thread

G-Snarls · August 28, 2013

Lawrie, Reyes and Edwin must be pissed about how hard they're playing and how badly the team is doing.

G-Snarls · August 28, 2013

No home runs

Seems like a safe bet these days...

And especially for these guys against Kuroda.

G-Snarls · August 31, 2013

On a positive note, the insane home runs for Rogers Centre compared to other stadiums is normalizing. Because the home team suddenly isn't hitting any and the pitching has been tolerable.

GD · September 2, 2013

Dylan · September 2, 2013

G-Snarls · September 2, 2013

So... If someone had taken "no home runs" every single game, they'd be leading this thing right? That's ridiculous.

GD · September 2, 2013

So... If someone had taken "no home runs" every single game, they'd be leading this thing right? That's ridiculous.

Exactly. I don't like it.

Daniel Labude · September 2, 2013

I suggest removing the no hr option for the rest of the playoffs.

Dylan · September 2, 2013

So... If someone had taken "no home runs" every single game, they'd be leading this thing right? That's ridiculous.

They can only pick it 3 times

G-Snarls · September 2, 2013

They can only pick it 3 times

Ah OK same as any player. Makes sense. But still...

G-Snarls · September 2, 2013

With Bautista and Rasmus out of the lineup we have a completely powerless outfield. It's ridiculous.

Dylan · September 2, 2013

Ah OK same as any player. Makes sense. But still...

They way I thought before was that even if you chose NO hr right all 3 times thats only 3 points.. 1 correct pick should be more than that.

Another game in itself is to pick No HR on the right day.
