8/4 Recap - 2LO

Stud of the Day - Troy Tulowitzki

Tulo went 3/4, HR and and RBI as the Rox beat the Nats...The 3 hits is just business as usual for the RTTC BA Leader, Chris Mathews...if he can continue to get multi hit games a couple times a week, it may be tough to catch him...So far this week Mathews is 4/12...good for .333, his season avg entering this week - .332

Other HRs

Only other RTTC HR was big Al Pujols, who hit his 25th of the year...he was picked by 3 thre players this week...

See ya June...

The week 12 consensus picks strikes....Troy Tulowitzki with only 1 hit last night, but he made it count as it was a 3 Run Homer...He also drew 2 BBs , but the Rockies blew the lead that Tulo gave them as they lose in 10 innings to the hated White Sox...

Remember that Monday is a holiday, so you may not be around to check email..get your picks in ASAP so you are not late. have a great weekend!

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

Week 3 Preview - Joey Votto Week

Only 23 different players were picked this week...

16 of 53 picked Joey Votto (30%), 7 picked Tulowitzki (13%)

So if you didn't pick one of them, you have a good opportunity this week to make up ground or extend your lead, assuming they don't do to well..

First time RTTC picks (at least in the last 2 seasons since we used the new spreadsheet)

-Lance "The Big Puma" Berkman

-Curtis "The Grandy Man" Granderson

-Asdrubal "Scroobs" Cabrera

4/18 Stud of the Day -

Last weeks - Co-stud stays hot, Andy Brink...he went - 2/4, HR, 3RBIs (Beltre)

4/14 Recap

Might as well change this to the daily Tulowitzki update or better yet instead of Stud of the Day:

Tulo of the Day - The Rox played a double header yesterday, so naturally Tulo hit 2 HRs...1 in each game..so on the day he was 5/8, 2HR, and 2RBI, already has 7 on the year....Matt Kemp also with a very nice day...

Dating back to last season, T2 has 23 HRs in his last 38 games...just dumb

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:

STUDS OF THE WEEK...Krista Krauss, Emmons, C Jones...

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...

9/15 Recap

Not much happened on Tuesday night...but last night is a different story...how about 2 picks combining for 22 pts..in 1 night!

Pick of the Day - Troy Tulowitzki - 3/5, 2 HR, 7 RBI...12 pts...WOW....Krista Krauss, Emmons, and Carl Jones all picked him this week...This may have wrapped up Jones' RBI championship..he started the week with 111 RBIs...now will finish the week with over 120 its looking like...

Other Pick of the Day - Adrian Gonzalez - he was picked by 4 players and put up 10 pts yesterday... 3/4, 2 HR, 5 RBI...Oh yeah those both happened in the same game..Coors Field at its best...

SOTW is sure gonna be earned this week...

6-23-POD

2-3 , 2 HR , 3 RBI...Troy Tulowitzki with the multi-dong night...How hot are the Rockies? Stout and Kapcar with the great pick of Tulo...could he get 6 HRs this week???
