Dylan

Like they said MB is a pitch to contact, good to have gose in the outfield today! Just sucks we have no 2nd third baseman

Good running catch by Jose

I love one pitch outs

Well that wasn't a very good first inning

Gose looked silly

Will get your name on a snazzy image trophy lol.. maybe we can have a trophy thread Picks are done!

Lets go Blue Jays!!!

I'm leaning towards just doing a preallstar and after allstar.. and we can do a special postseason one

Gose - LetTheBallFly Jose - Dude, o2cui2i, Fatcow, Dylan Eddy - northOf49, declan_44, bzapple JP - angrioter, codster95, theblujay, GordieDougie, Spanky Lind - vdubmvp, bowld, Jays, King, dmrich28, Metallijay DeRosa - Rasmus - SumoNinja Izturis - Jays_fever Pitchers Bench: Melky - Gsnarls, Abomination Boni - JFas

Sounds good. We might want to add more teams. Unless we do what abomination suggested. Pre and After allstar rounds. Top 6 from each round move on. If the same person is top 6 in the 2nd half they move up if they did better or the next place person in the first half takes their spot.?

I don't remember what they did, brackets? If we stopped at mid-late august and each round a week?

Just changing it up! Rasmus is heating up and JP just overall stinks

I'm going with Jose, 3 game streak on the line!

Ya I was going to add a no HR option but the point of this game was to look forward to homers lol. Plus we would have to make it worth <1 point and I don't want to get into decimals, unless we had it but with a -1 point attached if they are wrong. But with the - i don't think many people would select it.

Gose - LetTheBallFly Jose - Dude, o2cui2i, Eddy - northOf49, declan_44, JP - angrioter, codster95, theblujay, GordieDougie Lind - vdubmvp, bowld DeRosa - Rasmus - Izturis Pitchers Bench: Melky - Gsnarls, Abomination Boni - JFas

You caught me

Still trying to adjust how to balance out the points. I think now with the bonus points, less powerful hitters should be worth more. Also added that bonus points don't count towards streaks.

I've also added permanent bonus points. This way we have stuff to look forward to after the first home run is done. Bonus Points * 2 home runs in the game - 1 point / 3 home runs - 3 Points * Grand slam at any time - 4 points * Walk off home run - 5 Points

That's an idea. I'm fine with that if others are.

I meant like our own playoffs for the contest, not the mlb playoff games. To decide a winner and to make things exciting at the end when angrioter is up by 30 points lol

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! http://i1312.photobucket.com/albums/t538/BlueJays20131/lineup2_zps1982dea6.jpg 1.

I was just wondering how we wanted to end this each year? should we just have overall standings that goes to the end of the season or implement some kind of playoffs? If we did our own playoffs it could be something like the top 12 board members make the playoffs in late august and go head to head. Could run like a typical playoff bracket where members face 1 member, each round lasting 1 week. Member with the most points that week move on to the next round. yes or no? LET'S GO BLUE JAYS!!!

Thoughts?

We decided that streaks end if you do not pick for the game. If there is no home runs in the game then the streak stays alive. Just because people could decide not to pick when it's a hard pitcher or when its tougher to make a pick. And also wait for bonus days like NorthOf49 said.
