Week 14 Results

The MLB All Star break is finally here, so we are off until Thursday when action resumes for Week 15...Week 15 will be a short week that only lasts 4 days, so around 15 points should have a good chance at the SOTW...Here is what happened last week...

STUDS OF THE WEEK - Rossi, C Jones

It is fitting that these 2 finished off the 1st half with the SOTW as they both are now tied for the most this season with 3 each. They picked Aramis Ramirez and he put up 20 pts... Rossi is the current $ Leader so far with $85 in the bank, overall though his numbers are just a little bit better than average, but he is still capable of getting a top 3 finish in 1 of the categories. Jones has been absolutely on fire in the past 6 weeks...In that time he has gotten 3 SOTWs, 10 hits: 5 different times...batting .409 with 17 HRs and 43 RBIs...his first 8 weeks he was .251 with 5 HRs and 28RBIs...Last years MVP is looking to make it back to back this year...Also he is pissed that he got snubbed from this years All Star Game...(Google Pic - RJ3)

DUDS OF THE WEEK - Leonard, Price

The tough luck losers of week 14...They went with Braun last week who got a total of 0 at bats....ouch...It is always tricky when there is a Sunday injury and he doesn't go on the DL...not much you can do about it. Leonard has had a fairly average year so far and this is his 2nd DOTW...Price is having a good season and is only 1 of 10 players currently batting over .300, and is in the top 15 in RBIs...Regroup over the break fellas...

2011 RTTC $$ Leaders

27 of the 53 players have at least 1 SOTW this year, thus are on the $ board...here are the leaders that are over $50...

1. Rossi - $85

2. Wyse - $50

3. Smith - $50

4. Zeitz - $50

5. Palumbo - $50

STUDS OF THE WEEK - Punches, Stout, Banks, Cowan, Price, C Jones, G Badenhop

One of the biggest weeks of the year as these guys all went (before this week struggling) Al Pujols...All he did was go 12/27, 5 HRs and 10 RBIs...including walk off bombs Saturday and Sunday...This is Banks, Stout, and Badenhop's 2nd SOTW of the year...Stout has now taken over the BA lead at .327...Cowan is now 2nd in HRs at 17....and Stout is now 4th in RBIs with 49...C Jones may be getting his MVP form back from last year as he doubled his HR total this week to 10....Congrats on the big week and the $7.14...lunch is paid for today...(Google Pic - Super 7)

DUDS OF THE WEEK - Burger

One of the couple of people who got hurt by some bad luck this week was Burger...In the first AB of the week from Soriano, he pulled his quad and finished the week at 0/1....The Monday injury strikes again...Tim Guelde and Doug Krauss also with some bad luck with Holliday and Kubel...at least hey got some hits first....its a part of the game, and nothing you can do about it...

9/20 Recap

Not much going on yesterday in the RTTC world...No HRs (from what i can see) The only note-worthy thing I see is that Matt Holliday went 2-4...which helps a few in the BA...namely C Jones who is currently in 2nd...don't choke Clark!!

Week 24 Recap

Wow, week 24 was a record breaking week and most likely the week that caused the most separation among the leaders ever...The magical mullet is hot and has the Rockies on another September run...to the STUDS:

These 3 plus Brooks(who got his pick in late..whats new) all picked T TULOWITZKI...who just finished the best week in RTTC History...he went 9/26 with 6 HRs and 17 RBIs...The 32 overall points are a new RTTC record as well are the 17 RBIs....the 6 HRs tie a RTTC record...Jones is now 2nd in BA at 322...Emmons is now 3rd in HRs w 34, and Jones is cruising along in RBIs in 1st place w 128, up 16 in that category...now he is chasing the record books to catch Tim Krauss 136 RBIs from last year...Congrats to you 3 for splitting the $25..(PIC - TULO)

DUD OF THE WEEK...CURLIS CREW

Mike Stanton was not kind to them this week only getting 2 hits and 1 RBI...These guys have been hot or miss lately...in the last 5 weeks they now have 2 STUDS and 2 DUDS OF THE WEEK...Their best shot at top 4 finish is probably in HRs, but will about 10 in the last 2 weeks to get up there...

The Races

BA - CARROLL keeps his hot streak going and now has opened up a 14 pt lead in and may very well crush the BA record of 336..He is at 346 right now...There are 9 others over .315 battling it out for the final 3 spots...

HR - PENNINGTON is on his way to becoming the 2010 HR Champ...currently at 39...and up 4 HRs on second place....10 others have between 30-35 to battle it out for the final 3 spots as well...

RBIs - C JONES looks to be a lock in RBIs barring another 17 RBI performance from else..he is up 16 on D Rychener with 128...7 others are over 100 RBIs trying to get in the top 4 overall...

Week 20 Results

They both had monster weeks...going 9/27, 4 HR and 13 RBIs...(26 pts- Cano)...This marks Stouts first time in the winner circle and for Jones, it is his RTTC leading (tied w Smith) 4th time as SOTW...Stouty is very much alive in 2 races yet...He is 5th in HRs and 7th in RBIs....CJones is a legot threat for the RTTC triple crown...He is 3rd in BA, 9th in HRs, and leading RBIs with 101...Congrats on the win fellas...(Pic- SJ4)

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)

DUD OF THE WEEK - TY MEYER

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:

Number of weeks E KRAUSS has hit better than .223 - (1) - unreal

Current Number of weeks in a row with a HR - Sunderman - (8)

Number of players w/at least 2 RBI each week - (1) - Keller

Week 7 Results

Studs of the Week - Graven, Rossi, KJ Krauss, Keller

Huge week for all 4 as they went 13/27, 2HR, 9RBIs (Morneau)....This is Graven's 1st Stud this year and is now 3rd in RBIs...This is Rossi's 1st SOTW as well and raises his average 44 pts...This is also the 1st SOTW for Krista Krauss and she is the lone female in this years crop...She is now 3rd in BA, and has the early season bragging rights over me...grrreat...The last SOTW is Keller and this is 2nd SOTW in the past 5 weeks..He is 2nd in BA, and 1st in RBIs, could be Rookie of the year at this pace...Congrats to all...$6.25 to each for your efforts...Google pic - (GRKK)

Dud of the Week - Carl Jones

More of an unlucky week than a bad week...His pick Jorge Posada was scratched before Mondays game and he didn't play the entire week...That is the worst thing that can happen in RTTC...and to add to to it, his daughter is one of the Studs of the week, and he is a season ticket holder for the Cavs...not a good stretch...

HOT

Williamson - 6 HRs last 3 weeks...

NOT

Kapcar - 0 HRs last 5 weeks...

Week 3 Results

STUDS OF THE WEEK: Banks, Williamson, RJones, Keller, Emmons, and CJones...These 6 either picked Miguel Cabrera or Ryan Braun...either way all had very solid weeks, but not spectacular for SOTW standards...The winning number this week was 18....each week that has gone down...My guess is that this week will be one of the lowest Stud totals of the year...congrats to each of you for making your 1st earnings of the year ($4.16 each) (Google Pic - BWJKEJ) ??

DUDS OF THE WEEK: 10 players tied for this weeks dump award...including all 8 Pedroia pickers...ouch...The low this week was a 4...not too bad really...Opposite of the Stud total, the Dud total has gone up each week...Notable DUD...Prigge...he has been a back to back Dud...not good...

SEPARATION: About 37% of us were either the STUD or DUD this week...that shows how quick things can change from week to week...

4/6 Player of the Day

Torii Hunter was yesterday's player of the day....he went 3-4, 1 HR, 3 RBI...Greg Leonard and rookie, Carl Jones are the only 2 to select Hunter this week...So far 18/43 of us have hit a homer in the first 2 days...Full slate of games scheduled for today...
