5/18 Recap

Too bad Sunderman didn't get his pick in on time and isn't eligible for the SOTW, because Ryan Ludwick is off to a good start this week...last night he went 2/3, HR, 2 RBIs...Matt Joyce also had a good night going 1/3, HR and 2 RBIs for the 2 Joyce owners...

5/17 Recap - The Loner Homer

Only 1 player picked this week HRed last night...and that is Matt Kemp...he was picked by 2 players:

Burger now has 10HRs and Rossi now has 9...

Week 7 Preview

The top pick of the week is Adrian Gonzalez, as he was picked 8 times, and he is off to a good start as he had 3 hits and 3 RBIs last night, including a walk off 2B.

Jose "Babe" Bautista was picked 6 times and Ryan Braun was picked 5 times.

First Time RTTC Picks-

Matt "Sweet Swingin"Joyce

Jeff "Frenchy" Francoeur

Both of these newcomers were picked twice

**Sunderman picked Ryan Ludwick before the SDP game last night, and is not eligible for the SOTW**

Week 6 Results

What a week for a lot of RTTCers....I never would have thought a guy with 5 HRs and 10 RBIs (Gonzalez)...in a week would come in 2nd place in SOTW Rankings...most weeks those 24 pts would have been an easy winner...but not this week...

STUDS OF THE WEEK - Zeitz - KJ Krauss
A very good week by these 2 capped off by a GREAT sunday where J Bautista hit 3 HRs...and gave him 6 for the week...a stat line of 11/26 6 HRs and 9 RBIs (26 Pts)! This is the 1st SOTW for both of them..They are in the middle of the pack in all categories, except Krista is now 2nd in HRs with 13...Big Papi - Dave Krauss also picked Bautista and was credited with full stats, just wasn't eligible for the SOTW for being late with his pick...(he was still pissed about the Derby results) (Google Pic - KJZ)

DUD OF THE WEEK - Roach

The bad luck hit Roach this week as his guy Adam Lind was scratched from the lineup all week with a bad back, tough to see that coming when he isn't even on the DL...The Blue Jays like to do this it seems....I got screwed with Bautista last week doing the same thing....tough luck Roach, go get em this week buddy
