IBC

Hi guys,

Every year for at least the last 30-35 years, a group of guys has put together what they simply call the Home Run Pool. A guy creates four lists of sluggers. You have to pick 1 guy off each list and then three "at-large" players (who don't appear on any lists). Have the most HR at the end of the year, win money. $25 entry. Last year's winners tied and split $3,000. It's fun, it's zero-maintenance and it updates daily. Please check it out. Share with friends, family, coworkers. Entries are submitted online and payment via Paypal. (I have others, if necessary).

I’m in.

Steal my trades and my money.

I never learn.

HR Pool entries are due by NOON on THURSDAY. Get your sheets in ASAP.

FINAL DEADLINE ANNOUNCEMENT

Entries are due by noon Thursday 3/28. Get them in ASAP.

Now that the season is about two months in and IBC is just about at Opening Day, it's a good time for a HR Pool update.

Our own Nick Perry holds the early lead among the 190 or so participants with 81 total HR. He's +2 over 2nd place at the moment.

Z: 71
Pat G: 68

How many of the low totals picked Acuna? Is that part of the struggles?

Didn’t have 2 entries or just 1? I can’t remember

Acuna and Riley are fucking me hard though

19 entries have Acuna. Same list with Olson, Ohtani, Judge, Alonso, Schwarber, Alvarez, so that's a tough one to deal with.

Just 1. I tried to pressure you into a second

Sorry Matt! I scrolled past you.

Lucky for you guys I picked Casas or I’d be up 30

I'm at 60 - Fancisco Alvarez & Autin Riley killing me.

Oof.. Sorry.

All Star Break update for IBCers (and affiliated):

Nick Perry remains in fourth despite not having Casas for most of the first half, 11 back of the leader. He has 144.

The IBC field:

Perry: 144
Pat Gillespie: 125
Pat Gillespie: 124
Brett Degen: 119
JB: 118
Jim Berger: 116
Matt K: 115
JP: 115
Zalaski: 115
JP: 107
John Anderson: 106
JP: 92
Brett Degen: 90
Pat Gillespie: 85
Dave Taylor: 83

Ended in 8th place despite getting 13 homers from Casas. Lengthy time missed by Kye Tucker didn't help either. But I'll take it. My buddy Woody ended up in 5th.

Congrats, Nick. How you hung on with two big missing pieces is beyond me. Usually, that spells doom.
