WEEK 26 Results

Wow, what a finish to the season...there will be a documentary on 9/28/2011 some day....lets recap our last week

STUD OF THE WEEK -Vince Salvatore

Vince finished out the season with a bang and went with a very smart pick...most players went with a player from a team that was in a close finish for the wild cards, but Vince went with Matt Kemp (4/13, 2 HR, 6 RBIs) who recently said he would rather have a 40HR -40SB season, than get MVP...so you know he was aware of his stats...he had 37 HRs entering the week....falling 1 shy of his 40-40...he did have 40 SB....and he will probably get that MVP as well...Good Pick Vince...He finishes the season 4th on the money leaders list at $83.32 (end of season prize $ not added yet) (Google Pic - SV3)

DUDS of the WEEK - Ty Meyer, David Rossi

Ty My went with his favorite player Ty Wigginton and he had nothing this week...Rossi went with Konerko, who was hurt and didn't play all week...

June 1 Update - Summer is Here

The Memorial Day weekend was a busy one for this guy, so sorry for the lack of posts in the past 5 days...Week 8 saw Rossi take down SOTW honors all by himself, his 2nd of the year....and Ty My and Lynds Jones (2nd of year) were the 2 duds...

Week 9's popular picks are Pujols, and Bautista chosen 7 and 6 times respectively....

Tweet of the week... Todd Guelde ( @tguelde) is already counting his money from this weeks Stud of the week...he picked J Upton this week, and after his Monday performance, he simply wrote " Justin Upton #SOTW"...lets see if he can do it for the rest of the week...Pressure on Guelde

We are pretty much at the 1/3 mark of the season, since the all star week is short and this year week 26 will be short...lets take a look at a few things....

Whos HOT?

Last 3 weeks - Dave Krauss 55 pts - .385, 6 HR, 19 RBIs

Whos Not?

Last 3 weeks - L Jones, Roach, Doug Krauss, Banks, Ty My, Smith all with only 21 pts...

Trending Up...Finkes...He started the season at .143, but every week, he has slowly climbed up, and is now at a respectable .265

Trending Down...Zgela...He started at .455 in week 1, but since, has slid a lil but every week and is now sitting at .261

HR Streak...Only Emmons and Wyse have HR'd every week this season so far....how long will that last?

RBI Streak...Burger is the only player with at least 4 RBIs in each week....no wonder he is in 2nd place in RBIs...On the other end of the RBI spectrum....Doug Krauss has only had 2 weeks with 4 RBIs...and only has 12 for the year...doubtful he will reach his career average 104 RBIs this year...in order to do so, he will need 5 per week from here out...thats rough (google pic - 1/3 done)

4/5 Recap - Royals Rolling

STUD OF THE DAY - TY Meyer- 3/5, HR, 2 2B, 2 RBIs...hitting .375 early on (Alex Gordon w the 1st place Royals)...

DUD OF THE DAY - Rob P. P. Diddy Price...again...0/4, 3 Ks, GDP (Alvarez)...forgetable start to the year for Diddy...

BROOKS STILL HOT - Mark Teixeira's got 4 HR and 10 RBI already in April...Yankee stadium plays like a wiffle ball stadium...

RECORD TIED- A number of players tied the weekly At Bat record with 34 in week 18...too bad they only got 9 pts out of that...check the records tab to see who did it

WEEK 19 STUDS - TODD GUELDE, JOEY KAPCAR, ANDY BRINK

All 3 had 22 pts for the week..congrats fellas, Joe you should make your picks after drinking 5 beers by noon more often....This was Todds 3rd STOW, Kapcars 1st, and Brinks 3rd

WEEK 19 DUDS - PUNCHES, KYLE KRAUSS, WILL KELLER

Speaking of drunk picks, that must have been what these guys did this week too...actually 2 of these 3 were on vacation too so that is possible...Actually they all scored 6 pts which is not bad at all for the DOTW...

A side congrats to TY MY on his wedding...a great time was had by all on the beaches of NC

Week 11 Recap

Huge week for these guys as they put up a record tying performance. They all went 16/27, 1 HR and 6 RBIs (Hamilton). Those 16 hits tie the most in a week of RTTC...Last who did it was Punches in Week 5 of 2009....It is the 2nd SOTW for Smith, Sunderman, Zgela, and CJones....1st of the year for Brooks, TKrauss, and Mathews...They all jumped in BA about 35-40 points each...(google pic - 7 guys)

Ty My with only 3 points this week (Carter) marks the 2nd straight week he is the dud...and 3rd DUD week since week 3....Last 2 weeks he has 4 hits and has dropped a total of 27 pts down to .232...still only 5 HR behind the leader though...

Stats of the week:

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....

Stud- Ty Meyer, Biederstedt Bunch
They both went 8/13 - 4 HR, 8 RBI (Cabrera) and went for a total of 20....This is the first SOW for both as they split the $25...On a side note, If Troy Brooks would have gotten his pick in on time , he would have been the STUD with a 21 total...get those picks in on time T-Roy..it cost ya $25 this time..

Dud - Rossi
Terrible wee for Rossi as he went 1-20 (Werth-Less) for a total of 1...ouch...That is his 2nd DUD of the year...

WEEK 24 RESULTS

STUD OF THE WEEK...STACY GUELDE

.520 2HR 9RBI...She raised her BA 11 pts to .284, and now is 6 HRs out of 3rd place...she needs 2 more monster weeks to come close to placing a top 3rd. (GOOGLE PIC..SG)

DUD OF THE WEEK...TY MEYER, JOE KAPCAR

.105 0HR, 2RBI...Bad week for TY..he needs 8HR in the next 2 weeks and some help from others to get 3rd in HRs like he did last year...not looking good...Kapcar is in the same boat, pretty much dunzo

BA RACE

With 2 weeks to go, Hernandez and Bindel are at a virtual tie at .332...8 others are jumbled from .304 to .310...this wont be settled until the last day...

HR RACE

Whittlesey and Brooks are at a tie right now at 41..will we have a co-HR champ for the 2nd straight yr? Sunderman up 2 on EKrauss at 37 for 3rd place...

RBI RACE

TKRAUSS is trying to hold his lead..he is up 7, but Whittlesey is closing hard..about 7 others are going for 3rd place

During these last 2 weeks, I will be posting the updated stats for the top 5 in each category each morning

WEEK 20 RESULTS

Alright, I am getting back into the swing of things...after countless Dos Equis, and about 3 layers of skin on my shoulders, I am ready to dive back into RTTC...here we go....

STUD OF THE WEEK: JOE KAPCAR

.462 4HR, 9RBI.......Kapcar with a big week, but he is gonna need a couple more of these if he is gonna cash a check come october.(PIC...KapTruck)

DUDS OF THE WEEK: Ty Meyer, Kyle Krauss, Brent Williamson, Jeremy Whittlesey

0-2..............Wow...the monday injury attacks again, and in the thick of the RTTC strecth run...all 4 of these guys still have a very good shot at $$...this could be a week that haunts them..

STAT THAT MAY ONLY AMAZE ME

Last 2 weeks...Kyle Krauss has gone 1-3...

HOT

Brooks..last 4 weeks... .407

Sunderman...last 3 weeks..9HR

Zgela...33RBI last 4 weeks

NOT

KKrauss.. .178, 0HR, 5RBI...last 5 weeks

SGuelde.... .179 last 3 weeks..(PS...just sent her pick in, oh and her water broke about an hr ago...trooper)...GOOD LUCK GUELDES!

WEEK 15 RESULTS

STUDS OF THE WEEK: Corey Burger, CJ Plymale

.500, 2HR, 5RBI...In the all-star shortened week, these 2 guys made some good ground...there were a bunch of players that had 0HR and 0RBI this week...Plymale now finds himself only 5HRs out of first place...(Google Pic - CJ BURGER)

DUDS OF THE WEEK: Ty Meyer, Eric Prigge

0-9 0HR, 0RBI...the bad part of the short week...you dont get many games to catch up after a bad series..These guys went with Inge...and he has kept the zero's coming since the HR Derby donut he put up...

GETTIN HOT: Plymale...7HRs last 3 weeks...

SLUMPING: Brooks.... .160, 0HR, 2RBI last 3 weeks

WEEK 10 RESULTS

STUDS OF THE WEEK: TY MEYER and SHAWN HERLIHY

.259, 4HR and 6RBIs...This week saw below average numbers as you can see with the studs average, but they came through with the most home runs to give them the weeks top honor. And in Ty's case he had to have set a record that will never be broken. He actually saw in person, 2HRs for his RTTC player in one day(Pujols-Sat.) So that means someone would have to see his player hit 3 in 1 game to break that record...no chance(google pic-TY-SHAWN)

DUDS OF THE WEEK: JOSH B, CLARK CARROLL, NEIL COWAN

3-24(.125) 0HR, 0RBIs....terrible week for these 3...Josh B is getting killed by his wife this year(similar to last yr)...Clark is dropping quick in BA, and Neil is only hitting better than 3 other people this yr...so, for these 3, things can only get better from here.

HOW WE STACK UP:

BA

David Wright-.364

B. Hernandez-.361

HR

Gonzalez, Pujols, Ibanez-22

Whittlesley-20

RBI

Jason Bay-61

TKrauss, Jodi B-57

WEEK 4 RESULTS

STUD OF THE WEEK: Ty Meyer

Ty My went for .346 3HR and 6RBIs this week. Last year Ty was in the hunt for the HR Title until about week 24 or so...lets see if he can make another run this season...weeks like this won't hurt. Look for Ty to be a Dud candidate next week as he recent pattern is that he performs well every other week. (PS, the picture above is what comes up when you google TY MY, probably will be a new tradition I do for the Stud of the week.)

DUD OF THE WEEK: Todd Guelde

.091, 0 HR 0 RBIs...who cares though, he just found out that he passed the Bar Exam on Friday. Thank God you did pass it because that would have been tough calling you out as a Dud on RTTC knowing you failed your test, haha. Congrats, now I expect your business card to say RTTC Consultant, in case Selig calls and wants to shut us down.

STAT THAT MAY ONLY AMAZE ME:

Prigge is hitting .242 and has 22 RBIs

Rychener is hitting .239 and only has 8 RBIs

Talk about timely hitting.
