2012 SEASON RESULTS
Well I never thought we would see it happen, but Miguel Cabrera did the name of our game..got the Triple Crown..It was quite the Race as well...we had the same type of drama going into last night and it wasn't settled into the last AB of the year for Curtis Granderson...Below are the winners of the this years edition of RTTC...
BA CHAMP - TIM KRAUSS - Finished the year at .334...Tim had 8 weeks of double digit hits and hit .342 in the 2nd half of the season...The biggest week of the year for him was probably week 8, where he went 15/30...Congrats T-BAG! - $320.60
BA - 2nd Place - DAN RYCHENER - Finished the year at .329...Dan had a chance late, but went 1/10 in week 26 to fall to 2nd place...From week 20 to 25, Dan was over .300 every week to get him into the top 3 - $133.58
BA - 3rd Place - DAVE REITHER - Finished the year at .324...What a huge finish to the year by Dave..In weeks 24 and 25, he made the big comeback by hitting .490 in that span...Molina hurt him in week 26 by going just 1/7 and sitting out the last game. - $80.15
HR CHAMP - RYAN SMITH - ROB PRICE - Both finished with 43...Price had this one wrapped up seemingly up until the 7th inning last night in NY, when Curtis Granderson hit his 2nd HR of the night to pull Smith into a tie for 1st...Unreal comeback with 2 HRs on the final night of the year for Smith to cap a unreal year for him...You can look to week 5 for both of these guys - when they picked Hamilton and he had 9 HRs that week..no wonder they won ( I picked him too that week...woops, yeah I blew it this year) - Congrats on splitting 1st and 2nd $$ - $227.09 (Rob that Grandy HR last night cost you about $100 just so you know..he sent me a text last night that simply read : I HATE THE YANKEES) Well said!
HR - 3rd Place - MATT BANKS - Finished with 42 - He has to be bummed he missed the top prize here, He was in 1st for a lot of the 2nd half of the year - and to boot, Beltran didn't play last night for him to even give him a chance...Looking back to weeks 3-6 probably cost him the big $$ as he only had 1 HR in that month span.. - $80.15
RBI CHAMP - RYAN SMITH - Finished with a new RTTC record 140 RBIs..That will be hard to break, because one would need about 5.5 a week to do it..He has had this wrapped up for a few weeks, but he kept adding on late - Grandy with 4 last night got him the record...Again week 5 when he picked Hamilton set him up for the season when he had 18 that one week - He also had 20 weeks where he had at least 4RBI..thats the consistency it takes to win these things..$320.60
RBI - 2nd Place - ROB PRICE - Finished with 120 - Broken record here, but the 18 RBIs he got from Hamilton helped him big time...Also week 21 he got 10 from Reddick and the ridiculous A's - $133.58
RBI - 3rd Place - MATT BANKS - Finished with 114 - Not sure how he hung onto 3rd place, but he deserved it after the tough luck he came into during the HR Race...He got 0 RBIs in week 26 but the 2 people behind didn't either and he hung on... $80.15
That wraps up the season ending results...Lets see how this years RTTC leaders compared to the MLB Leaders..always amazes me how close these usually are:
BA
RTTC - T KRAUSS - .334
MLB - B. POSEY - .336
HR
RTTC - SMITH, PRICE - 43
MLB - CABRERA - 44
RBI
RTTC - SMITH - 140
MLB - CABRERA - 139
Thats pretty crazy!
The playoffs are here and once the draft gets completed, we still have to crown our 2012 WS RTTC CHAMP. I will post periodic updates on here throughout the playoffs, and at some point tonight or tomorrow reveal the MVP and Rookie of the Year as well as the final $$ distribution.

10/3 UPDATE
LAST DAY OF THE REG SEASON IS HERE...LOTS OF $$ STILL UP IN THE AIR...Very quiet night last night...I have a feeling Wednesday is gonna be filled with drama...
BA RACE - Only 1 hit out of the top 4 from last night, but it was a big one to Tim...
T KRAUSS - .334 - Going with B Butler this week 1-2 last night - Looking good for Timmy!
RYCHENER - .330 - Going with Mauer - 0-3 last night - Needs a 3 hit night or so and for Butler to take a goose egg
RIETHER - .324 - Y Molina this week - 0-4 last night - Could see Yadi sitting tonite now that STL has clinched
JESS KAPCAR - .322 Konerko this week - DNP last night - Konerko having surgery Thursday on wrist..will he play tonight??
HR RACE - Only 1 HR last night out of the top group, but it was a big one for Price..may be worth almost $200
PRICE - 43 - C Davis this week - 1 last night - Takes the lead on the 2nd to last night of year...
BANKS - 42 - Beltran this week - 0 last night - Will Beltran play tonite for STL and give Banks a shot at the title?
SMITH - 41 - Granderson this week - 0 last night - Big game for NYY tonite..short porch in right for Grandy...
FEIKLE - 39 - B Harper this week - 0 last night - Needs 2 tonite from BH and nothing from CG for 3rd...
RBI RACE - Battle for 3rd may be all thats left here...Only 1 RBI was had last night...
SMITH - 136 - Granderson this week - 0 last night - Tied T KRAUSS' 2009 RTTC RBI RECORD at 136, will he break it??
PRICE - 120 - Davis this week - 1 last night - Can't believe a guy named Chris Davis has HRd in 6 straight games and has 33 on the year...
BANKS - 114 - Beltran - 0 last night - Beltran has 97 on the year, you know he wants to get 100
SHIPLEY - 113 - Soriano - 0 last night - Ship is due for a big night...again
T KRAUSS - 112 - Butler - 0 last night - Needs at least 3 in 1 day + some help
PLAYOFF RACE - 3 changes last night...Rychener lost his last game and is the 4th seed...Punches won his last game and is now tied for the last spot with 94 wins with Graven and Krauss Krew...of those 3, the top 2 pts totals will get the 9th and 10th seeds...Tim Guelde lost, and has been eliminated...he originally had picked the Astros, but changed to the Cubs at the last second...tough second guess there...
#1 G BADENHOP - 100 -

KRAUSS KREW has the 6PT edge going into tonite over PUNCHES...KK has Miguel Cabrera, who may not play tonite to preserve his Triple Crown, although I bet he gets a couple ABs....PUNCHES has Adam Jones who needs a big day

Monday, October 1, 2012
Week 25 RECAP
25 weeks down, and 1 3-day week left...
STUD OF THE WEEK - Sean McCutcheon -
He went with Matt Kemp and he was 11/24, 4HR, 9RBI...The only possible better pick would have been Chris Davis, who had 26 pts...McCutcheon has had a very good rookie year and should be in the rookie of the year running...It was his 2nd SOTW, and now is 7th place on the year in $$ earnings...
DUD OF THE WEEK - Ryan Howard Owners -
There were multiple people who picked RH, and he only had 1 hit and 1 RBI last week...It especially hurt Shipley, who is in the hunt in RBIs...
TEAM STUD PICK OF WEEK - DODGERS
Went 5-1..too little too late for them most likely...
TEAM DUD PICK OF WEEK - RED SOX
Went 0-5, what a debacle their year has been...
BA RACE- Hopefully this goes to down to the last AB on Wednesday...
T KRAUSS - .334 - Was 7/30 last week - .233, Can TK hang on? *RTTC RECORD IS .339*
D RYCHENER - .333 - Was 9/28 last week - .321, Lets all hope that Tim and Dan do not pick the same player this week
RIETHER - .326 - Was 15/28 last week - .536, He may just run out of time.
JESS KAPCAR - .321 Was 3/21 last week - Bad time to hit a rough patch
TODD GUELDE - .316 Was 9/28 last week - Needs a miracle to get 3rd..
HR RACE - Incredibly, the top didn't change at all from last week as they all added 2 more..Can someone go off and get 3 this week in 3 days to make a move?
BANKS - 42 - 2 last week - 4 in last 3 weeks *RTTC RECORD IS 44*
PRICE - 41 - 2 last week - 5 in last 3 weeks
SMITH - 40 - 2 last week - 3 in last 3 weeks
FEIKLE - 39 - 2 last week - 6 in last 3 weeks
STALEY - 38 - 2 last week - 8 in last 3 weeks
RBI RACE - Should be a good battle for 2nd and 3rd place here
SMITH- 134 - 7 last week - Pretty much a victory lap *RTTC RECORD IS 136*
PRICE - 117 - 7 last week - 14 in last 3 weeks

SHIPLEY - 113 - 1 last week - 5 in last 3 weeks

8 HAVE CLINCHED PLAYOFFS - The playoff draft order still may change...
Glenn Badenhop
Derek Meek
Brent Williamson
Dan Rychener

4 PLAYERS FOR LAST 2 SPOTS - Remember the tiebreaker if needed is the season total points from the player picks
Krauss Krew 94-68 0 games left 274 pts (thru week 25)
Kirk Graven 94-68 0 games left 298 pts
Brent Punches 93-67 2 games left 277 pts
Tim Guelde 92-67 3 games left 287 pts
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday morning I will update the blog this week...
STUD OF THE WEEK - Sean McCutcheon -
He went with Matt Kemp and he was 11/24, 4HR, 9RBI...The only possible better pick would have been Chris Davis, who had 26 pts...McCutcheon has had a very good rookie year and should be in the rookie of the year running...It was his 2nd SOTW, and now is 7th place on the year in $$ earnings...
DUD OF THE WEEK - Ryan Howard Owners -
There were multiple people who picked RH, and he only had 1 hit and 1 RBI last week...It especially hurt Shipley, who is in the hunt in RBIs...
TEAM STUD PICK OF WEEK - DODGERS
Went 5-1..too little too late for them most likely...
TEAM DUD PICK OF WEEK - RED SOX
Went 0-5, what a debacle their year has been...
BA RACE- Hopefully this goes to down to the last AB on Wednesday...
T KRAUSS - .334 - Was 7/30 last week - .233, Can TK hang on? *RTTC RECORD IS .339*
D RYCHENER - .333 - Was 9/28 last week - .321, Lets all hope that Tim and Dan do not pick the same player this week
RIETHER - .326 - Was 15/28 last week - .536, He may just run out of time.
JESS KAPCAR - .321 Was 3/21 last week - Bad time to hit a rough patch
TODD GUELDE - .316 Was 9/28 last week - Needs a miracle to get 3rd..
HR RACE - Incredibly, the top didn't change at all from last week as they all added 2 more..Can someone go off and get 3 this week in 3 days to make a move?
BANKS - 42 - 2 last week - 4 in last 3 weeks *RTTC RECORD IS 44*
PRICE - 41 - 2 last week - 5 in last 3 weeks

Staley was the only one on Miguel Cabrera last week, and he again was the SOTW...He went 9/26 with 4HR, and 10RBI...Staley has had a very good rookie year...Now has 36 HR on the year and 99 RBI...Back in week 1, he had 6 HRs with Kemp, then from week 2 to 18, he had a total of 15...then now since week 19, he has hit 15 more HRs and now is in position at a top 3 finish...He looks to be finishing strong...He is now tied for 3rd in the Money Leaders...
DUD OF THE WEEK - BURGER + Non Pickers
Burger picked Josh Hamilton and he had 1 at bat this week with no hits...another case of injury bad luck...he did get married though on Saturday, which may or may not make him feel better about his Dud week..he and his lovely bride did throw a heck of a party though, so it turned out allright for ya Boogs...he has to be happy wedding planning is over, because the last 3 weeks he has been 4/47, with 1HR and 2RBI..time to get your focus back Corey..

WEEK 22 RECAP
22 weeks down, 4 to go
STUD OF THE WEEK - SMITH
He was the lone player to pick Jay Bruce this week and he delivered. He was 11/22, 4HR, 9RBI - 24 pts...Only Chase Headley and Adam LaRoche had more pts last week, although no one picked them...On the year now, Smitty has 37HR and 118RBI..He is looking 2 win 2/3 categories, and perhaps MVP...This is his 5th year in RTTC and he has never finished in the top 3, in any category...he already has career highs in HR and RBIs this year, with 4 weeks to play...With the $60, he is now in 2nd place in total winnings this year with $85.45...
DUD OF THE WEEK - Zeitz (and the No-Pickers)
Zietz went with Josh Reddick and he was bad...2/24 with an RBI...It was the 2nd DOTW for JZ this year and it looks as if he is playing to win another SOTW, as he is pretty much out of contention for the year long awards....
STUD TEAM PICK - Angels
They were 6-0..Mathews and Curlis with the big pick of the week...Curlis coming on strong...he is 13-0 in the last 2 weeks..and now only a couple games out of the last playoff spot...Dan Rychener and Glenn Badenhop are neck and neck for the regular season crown, and would think are locks for the playoffs, unless they pull a Red Sox from last September...
DUD TEAM PICK - Rockies
They were 1-6, bad
BA
T Krauss still hanging on strong at .337...he hit .355 last week
D Rychener .330 ... he had a solid week at .304...3 straight weeks of over .300
Jess Kapcar .327...she also was .355 last week and gained a lil ground on Rychener..
HR
Banks - 38..he hit 3 more HRs last week, ties his career high with 38
Smith - 37 - 4 big ones last week - 4th different week, with at least 4 HRs..hits em in bunches
Price - 36 - had 2 last week - has 9 in last 4 weeks..if he hits 9 in next 4 weeks, that may do it for him
RBI
Smith - 118, hard to think he can blow this lead, up 10 with 4 weeks to go...RBI record (136) in jeopardy
Shipley - 108, Had 5 more last week, 3 straight weeks of at least 5 rbis...
Banks - 104, Also had 5 last week, only 2 weeks this year with 0 RBI
T Krauss -104, 5 RBI last week..now has 100 RBIs in every season (4 in a row, no one else has done that)

Week 20 Recap
STUD OF THE WEEK - PENNINGTON
When the player you pick has 3HRs one night and then hits for the cycle the next night, chances are you are going to be in the $$ that week...Thats what Pennington had this week with his lone pick off A Beltre...He finished the week 13/30, 5HR, 9RBI (27PTS)...next closest was the Curlis Crew at 23....This was the 3rd SOTW for JP and 2nd in the last 3 weeks...he is now in 4th place with HRs (31) and 9th place in RBIs (86)...With the $60 all to himself this week, he now also is the season long $$ leader at over $80 so far..He was the HR champ in 2010 with 42...lets see if he can reach that mark again....if so, chances are he will finish in the top 3...
DUDs OF THE WEEK - ROSSI + All of the no pickers
Rossi was the only one on Carlos Beltran, and he didn't show up for him...He was just 3/20 (3pts) At this point Rossi's best shot is probaly in HRs...He has 22, and is 10 behind 3rd place right now...This was Rossi's first DOTW for the year...
RTTC VS MLB LEADERS
BA
RTTC - T Krauss .340 - big 10/22 last week
MLB - Me Cabrera - .343 (I wonder if he will qualify for the BA title at the end of the year?)
HR
RTTC - Banks 34 - Went with big Donkey last week and..
MLB - Dunn 38 - ...he had 3 hits...all HRs haha
RBI
RTTC - Smith 105 - added 3 more last week -
MLB - Hamilton 111 - big 9 RBI week for JH
STUD TEAM PICK - PADRES
Josh Biederstedt was the lone SDP pick and is now only 5.5 GB of the last playoff spot..peaking at right time?
DUD TEAM PICK - ASTROS, INDIANS
How bad are these 2 teams right now..Combined they are 10-37 in August...BAD...3 people picked them probably thinking they were due to win some games...nope
G BADENHOP is starting to pull away and has the largest lead of the year at 3 games over D RYCHENER...but things can change quick...

Week 19 Recap -
Just about a quarter of the year remains..
STUD OF THE WEEK - JESSICA KAPCAR
Her first of the year, and she doesn't have to split the $ with someone else!..She picked Jay Bruce this week and he went 12/28 with 3 HR and 7 RBI (22PTS)...She edged out the Pujols owners (21PTS)...Only 3 other players would have been better picks this week - H Ramirez - 23 PTS, Swisher and G Jones - 25 PTS...She is now 3rd in BA at .330, and that looks to be her best shot at the year end money...
DUDS OF THE WEEK - CANO OWNERS
He only played in 4 games during the week and struggled... 8 people picked him this week and he had 1 hit in 17 ABs..(1PT)...Of all the Cano Owners, the Krauss Krew was hurt the most, the others aren't really in major contention...Krauss Krew was .324 before the week, now sit at .313...big blow...
TAKING A LOOK AT BA
In my opinion, anyone over .300 still has a shot at a top 3 finish with 7 weeks to go...That leaves 16 players with a legit shot at the BA Title..The past 3 years the champ has averaged about .337..Right now T Krauss is at .335
TAKING A LOOK AT HR
HRs can add up in a hurry..it is possible in a 7 week span to have about 3 per week, So anyone with over 20 HRs could make a run yet...that leaves 43 players with a shot at of at least 40 HRs if they get real hot...the past 3 years, an average of 43 HRs has been the champ...Right now Smith is on pace for about 44 for the year...
TAKING A LOOK AT RBI
Just like HRs, RBIs can add up fast..a couple double digit weeks in a row can make for a quick comeback...There are 24 people within 20 RBIs of 3rd place right now...Smitty has a 7 RBI lead right now and is on pace for around 140 RBIs...The champ in the past 3 years has averaged around 133.
TEAM PICKS STUD - REDS OWNERS
REDS with a nice 5-2 week...5 people picked them...
TEAM PICKS DUD - ANGELS, PADRES OWNERS
Not a good week to pick these 2 west coast teams...6 people picked them....
If playoffs started today...this would be the guys to make the playoffs..
Glenn Badenhop
Dan Rychener
Kyle Krauss
Brent Williamson
Derek Meek
Jeremy Berg*
Corey Burger
Kirk Graven
Joe Pennington
Brandon Feikle*
There are another 13 players within 5 games of the last playoff spot...

Week 18 Recap
We are about 70% done with the RTTC regular season...Week 18 saw some big movement...
STUDS OF THE WEEK - Todd Guelde, Banks, Tim Krauss, Pennington
They all went with Adrian Gonzalez who was 11/28 with 2 HR and 14 RBIs.. (27 PTS) That was the best possible pick possible this week...It was Banks 4th SOTW in the last 7 weeks..he is absolutely on fire...He is now 6th in BA, 1st in HR and 3rd in RBI..strong MVP candidate...Tim K has his 3rd SOTW and 2nd in a row....He is .410, 8HR and 27RBI in the last 2 weeks...and has found himself being chased now as he is 1st in BA, 6th in HR, and 2nd in RBIs...Guelde and Pennington both got their 2nd SOTW...TG is now 3rd in BA and 5th in RBIs....JP is still way back in BA, but is now top 15 in HRs and RBIs... Congrats on a huge week by you guys..
DUDS OF THE WEEK - PUJOLS OWNERS
Too many to list on here...but in total, there were 9 of them..Big Albert only had 1 hit all week in 234 ABs..The biggest name to fall in that group was Matt Badenhop who had been atop the BA leaderboard for some time...To give an example of how quick things can change in the BA department: Prior to week 17, Badenhop was at .355 and T Krauss was at .330...2 weeks later (today) TK is at .341 and MB is at .329...that is a swing of .37 pts...pretty crazy this late in the year...moral of the story..never give up in BA especially, as that can swing big in a short time..Notable - Staley has his 4th DOTW...
Consistency is Key
STALEY 14 Non Dud weeks - .331, 21 HR, 64 RBI
STALEY 4 Dud weeks - .095, 0 HR, 1 RBI
TEAM STUD PICK OF WEEK - RAYS
6-0 Ty Meyer and Tim Guelde were the only ones to go undefeated this week...TYMY now only 4 games out of the last wild card spot...Timmy G is now only 2 games out of that last spot...
TEAM DUD PICK OF WEEK - CUBS
1-6 Bindel was the lone Cubby pick...he is way back...14.5 GB of the last playoff spot
.600 CLUB
It is looking like a .600 winning percentage will be a good indicator of making the playoffs...That has been pretty close to the last wild card spot all year..we will see if that sticks...
REMINDER -
On the spreadsheet, the far right column is GR, which means games remaining...Most of us should finish with 162 without a problem...but if the season is done and you only have 160 total games played..the final 2 games will automatically be losses... There is no penalty to finishing early obviously. Example Mathews has 39 games left...there are 7 full weeks left and week 26 has 3 games in it..looks like he will be getting done in week 24ish..which is fine..On the other hand, someone like Ty Meyer has 49 games left, which could be cutting it close...

..Albert Pujols..How long ago does April seem, when Pujols was hitting under .200 with no HRs...Since May 1 he is hitting .309 with 24 HRs and 72 RBIs...In April he was .214 with 4 RBIs...This past week he went 14/33 with 6 HRs and 13 RBIs...(33pts)...Sunderman gets his 1st SOTW, Banks gets his 3rd, and TKrauss gets his 2nd...Tim is now 3rd in BA, 4th in RBIs...Banks is 1st-T in HRs and 5th in RBIs..Sunderman is having a nice year as well, and still has a shot in all 3 categories as he is top 15 in all 3.
DUD OF THE WEEK - Jessica Kapcar
Rough week for Jess...Her pick Carlos Ruiz got hurt on Wednesday and only managed 9 ABs on the week and getting only 1 hit and 1 RBI..she is still only 12 pts behind the leader in BA though, so she is in good shape...
STUD TEAM PICK OF THE WEEK - Cardinals
Davia, Midura, and Burger all with the 5-1 week...unfortunately they only gained .5 game on the leader G Badenhop

Guiney was the lone man on the Rox this week, and they went 1-5...he lost ground on everyone as this week saw only 8 people have a losing record

Talk about timing...Up until this week, no one had picked Kendrys Morales all year..Morales, went off for 10 pts (2/5 2HR 6RBI)... Both of his HRs were in the same inning...from each side of the plate..unreal...Michael has been struggling in his rookie season...The 6 RBIs last night for him match his RBI output in the last 4 weeks combined! Morales is on pace for 70 pts this week (record is 41)...that will get Michael back in contention
