Week 24 Results - Back 2 Back Edition

STUD OF THE WEEK - Tom Zgela

Back to back studs for Tommy Z, as he was the lone player to pick Josh Hamilton this week, who went off for 10 hits, 4 HRs, and 10 RBIs...(24 pts)...He doesn't have a shot at any year end honors, but he did just climb into 4th place on the money leaders list...not bad for a down year for him...Actually in the past 3 weeks he is hitting .393 with 6 HRs and 22 RBIs....Its been a good run for him, as he also walked his youngest daughter down the aisle this past weekend as well, and I will go ahead and assume that he had a couple cold ones that night as well... Double Congrats Z - Man (Google Pic -Z-Man)

DUDS OF THE WEEK - Biederstedt, Price, People that didn't submit a pick??

Bieder had some bad luck and picked Tulo who got hurt on Monday...one of those years for the Bieder Bunch...Price picked a Rangers outfielder that didnt get an at bats??? He is still shy of the minimum of 550 at bats needed to qualify for the batting title....And then about 4 or 5 people didnt even submit a pick, which is pretty strange...oh well better for the rest of us....

BA RACE-

1st Mathews - .333 Pretty much wrapped up this title unless Price goes off this week...

2nd Price - .320 Could still catch Mathews if he goes 10/20 or something?? No way loses 2nd

3rd Jess Kapcar - .309 Can she hang onto 3rd? The 4 others below are the only ones that I

4th Sigler - .309 ...see catching her

5th Smith - .308

6th Dillaman - .305

7th D Rychener - .303

HR RACE -

1st Punches - 43...1 more HR sets a new RTTC Record...

2nd Wyse - 38....Needs at least 6 in 2 weeks to win, and that assumes Punches hits 0...tough

3rd Riether - 36...1 HR ahead of 5 guys who have 35...gonna be a good race here..5 others have 33 as well that still have a slight hope...

RBI RACE -

1st Riether - 127 - 10 away from breaking the record of 136...Graven still hanging around?

2nd Graven - 119 - Looking for his 1st top 3 finish since 2008

3rd Burger - 116 - Same as Graven...his last top 3 finish was in 08'...in RBIs

5 others have over 110, and 13 others have over 100...all it takes is a 12 spot to make a huge jump

9/14 Recap - Z Man Going For Back 2 Back

STUD OF THE DAY - JOSH HAMILTON

He only had 1 hit last night but it was a big one...a grand slam, so he had a nice 6 pt night...Zgela(who was a STUD last week) was the lone picker of Hamilton this week and already has 12 pts on the week (4 hits, 2 HRs, 6 RBIs)...Zgela may go back2back??

Week 13 Preview

With only 1 week left before the RTTC All-Star selections are made, lets see who can make a push to be in the top 5, of 1 of the 3 categories and be named and all-star (which means nothing by the way)

-28 different picks this week, I think most of the year

-Tulo was the top pick getting snagged 7 times

-Miguel Cabrera was 2nd most with 6

-Josh Hamilton had 4 picks

New to the RTTC Board-

Melvin Emanuel Upton AKA - BJ which stands for "Bossman Junior", because his Dad was called Bossman...really...I can't make that up...He joins his bro Justin on the RTTC board, and are the only 2 players related on the board...I think, although there are tons of Cabrera's and Gonzalez's, etc??

6/27 Stud

CARGO - 2/4 - 2HR - 2RBI....not a bad start, I would say

6/9 Recap - J Ham

This weeks consensus pick of Josh Hamilton (picked 7 times) did not disapoint last night as he went 2/4, with a HR and RBI, but the Rangers lost to the surging Twins...Kemp, Konerko, Berkman and Cruz also HRed last night...

Week 10 Results

Sorry of the lateness of the results...just got back from a west coast road trip to watch lil bro for a few games....

STUD OF THE WEEK - D RYCHENER

This is the 3rd SOTW for Dan as he is becoming a legitimate threat for the RTTC triple crown...He currently sits 5th in BA, 1st in HR and 1st in RBI....He is really pulling away in the RBI category with 59....15 ahead of 2nd place....This week he posted a year high 27 points going 10/27 with 4 bombs and 13 RBI(Hamilton)...Congrats on the $25 addition to you winnings....Pic - DR3

DUD OF THE WEEK - TY MEYER

This is the 2nd DOTW of the year for TY MY as was just 1/20 this week for 1 pt(Bautista)....That dropped his average 20 pts to .239....but he is still in the thick of the race with his 13 HRs....
