9 entries so far (minimum met so contest will run)

This can't be right? running the game on only nine entries?

Some of the sites/contests are willing to incur an overlay. It'll be moot since I'm sure we'll fill it!

Since we're all being such gentlemen and sharing, here's the best resource I know for up-to-date and accurate lineups:
http://www.baseballpress.com/lineups

I'm now wondering if I should post my FanDuel entry early so as to let the rest of you know which players NOT to include in your entry

Only 31 of 72 spots filled right now. Come on folks, let's fill this one up.

I don't know if this question was brought up or not.
What if their is a tie?

Pretty sure it goes to the one who weighs more -- or maybe it is inverse alphabetical order of last name -- I forget which

Anyone who took Julio Teheran as their pitcher can send up the white flag now.

He's already down 2 runs in the 1st.
Yes, I picked him for my team.

"Abandon all hope, ye who enter here..."

"PUT ANOTHER DIME IN THE RECORD MACHINE"

No Winner last night?

here is link to last night's Main contest - https://www.fanduel.com/contest/4558700 ... ,33034696/

Wayne, you got ballz like cantaloupes to play Richards vs the swingin' A's baby...didn't work out of course, but way to blaze your own trail

i didn't notice anyone w/ Donaldson...he coulda tipped the scales in somebody's favor for sure !

Looked at the numbers and tried to slip one in....kind of like when I tried to sneak one in on the prettiest girl in school whose boyfriend was one of the biggest kids in school...didn't work out well either...

I've had Josh going in several contests, but not last night.

I kind of suck at this.

I've got quite a skill for picking players when they're going to take the night off.

Encarnacion and Springer were two of the MLB's hottest players going into Friday.
Together they got me 1.5 total points.

Don't get me started on David Ortiz. He only plays like a monster if I bench him.

Streaks are non-predictive - it's actually a good idea to fade "hot" players since others will be on them.

ToddZ wrote:Streaks are non-predictive

Actually, I'm able to predict 60% of the time that if I bench a player he'll go on a hot streak every time.

Who won this week and did we fill it up? Sorry, I'm late to the party this week. Thanks all.

Greg:

wvbuggs won with 56.41 Points. There were 49 teams entered.

Greg, I think it's time to again consider running this contest as a Sunday full MLB schedule game at FanDuel.

49 entries is great for the player but not so much for the sponsors.
Could someone 2nd the motion that NFBC consider running the FanDuel game on Sunday with the winner taking a $1600 2015 Main Event entry prize?

Another (lesser) suggestion: bring back the $100 prize for 2nd place...but only if all 75 spots are filled.

Sunday kills the west coast contingent as lineups are due 10 AM for them and takes away the fun of tracking games for those trying to get in some family time before they hit the FAAB. There's also many with other Sunday commitments not to mention lineups are whack on Sunday with many regulars given the day off.

I know I wouldnt play if it was on Sunday.

Ilove the chance to win a shot at the main event but maybe try pay top 4 for on line championships.
