Brock Holt, Brett Gardner and 2 RBI's away from a sweep.

Congrats Chef- A real beat down this week. Need a miracle (3 or 4 hits from Ellsbury tonight) to scrape out 3 points. Gibson goes 22 scoreless innings then lands on my team and gives up 8 in 2. Ouch!!!

Barring some sort of miracle OB/runs/SB game from Jeter tonight, I have my second sweep already. Sorry WHIP!

Good luck this week Treff- You remember me- your fist sweep victim? Doesn't look like your roster has gotten any weaker since the last fud-drubbing.

Thanks Fuzzy, we had some really close categories. Might have been a little different if not for Mr. Bailey.

Well I've switched Jose Fernandez for Beckett.. but other than that. .lol
Your guys have been pretty hot ever since that one. . I'm expecting a much different outcome this time

Your first of the year wasn't it?

 

[Philabuster5]

Good game Dub and good luck this week Ram.
Hoping Yelich, Harper and Mookie will jump start my offense.

 

[tlance]

Your first of the year wasn't it?

I have lost a few, but none like that.

Now I need to figure out what to do with Hanley. How can I bench him with 4 games at Coors this weekend?

A League Weekly Review

There were many lopsided results this week, leading to some movement in the standings. Take a look:

1. Tlance: 77-40-13
2. Jim: 73-49-8
3. Big D: 66-51-13
3. Treff: 69-54-7
5. Fuzzy: 68-57-5
6. Chef: 60-61-9
7. Ram: 57-63-10
8. TKO: 59-65-6
9. Sam: 55-63-12
10. Paul: 54-70-6
11: Kevin: 46-78-6
12. Dub: 43-76-11

Week 13 Review:

Treff 10, Kevin 0- Treff had some great pitching and got just enough from his offense as he surges into a tie for third. Kevin, meanwhile hits rock bottom. His team played pretty well, but he was unlucky to take narrow losses in a couple cats.

Jim 9, Tlance 1- Jim's team was awesome this week. The dominant pitching staff was in full effect and Jose Altuve carried the offense with 10 SBs. Tlance was lucky to get a point this week as his pitchers threw batting practice and his hitters were as cold this week as they were hot last. Jim leaps into 2nd place, while Tlance falls back to the field.

Chef 8, Fuzzy 2- Chef vaults all the way into 6th place with a huge win over Fuzzy. Fuzzy's hitters were good this week, but Chef's were just better. On the pitching side, Gibson, Miller and Cobb ruined Fuzzy's ratios and pushed him back to 5th place. This was a missed opportunity to gain ground for the Fuzzies.

D Dude 7.5, Ram 2.5- Dude's win was not nearly as lopsided as the score would indicate. All of the pitching categories were close, but Ram was unable to win any. Big D is now in a tie for 3rd, while Ram drops all the way to 7th.

Sam 6, TKO 4- Sam had a great week and was actually somewhat on the unlucky side that the score was not more heavily in his favor. TKO and Sam now sit in 8th and 9th respectively. Both teams are within 3.5 games of the final playoff spot. It looks like we could be looking at another tight race.

Paul 5.5, Dub 4.5- This game was very close, but neither team posted very impressive numbers. Paul got the win and is still within striking distance if his team can get hot.

Prospect League write up coming soon!

Prospect League Weekly Review

Once again, there was a lot of movement in the standings. With a couple lopsided scores and the top 2 seeds battling to the death, there was again much upheaval at the top. Congrats to Driaz and Micro, who are now tied for the top spot!

Standings:

1. Driaz: 69- 49-12
1. Micro: 72-52-6
3. Milk: 69-53-8
4. JD: 70-55-5
5. Smitty: 64-61-5
6. OBX: 60-59-11
7. Molsan: 56-58-16
8. Redseat: 59-62-9
9. Brock: 55-66-9
10. Trudem: 54-67-9
11. Foot: 47-69-14
12. AZ Sting: 50-74-6

Week 13 Recap:

Micro 10, Foot 0- Micro destroyed the Foot this week. This one was not really close anywhere. Micro, who is easily the hottest team in the league jumps up to a tie for first while Foot falls all the way to 11th. It will be difficult for Foot to come back from this.

Driaz 8.5, OBX 1.5- A great pitching week led Driaz to a big win over a very strong OBX team. He joins Micro in a tie for first as OBX falls below .500, but still clings to the 6th spot.

Molsan 8, Redseat 2- For the second week in a row, Redseat gets crushed with inactives in his lineup. Molsan had a very good week and now sits in 7th place, just 1.5 games out of the final playoff spot.

Trudem 7, Smitty 3- Trudem is really starting to get things rolling with a convincing win over Smitty. Trudem's hot hitting combined with an off week for Smitty led to the big win. Smitty still occupies 5th place, but Trudem is starting to make some noise and continues to gain ground on the pack.

Milk 6, JD 4- This game was everything that we hoped it would be. These two teams entered the week occupying the top two spots and both moved down as they beat each other up pretty good. Milk's pitching was back to its normal dominant ways and JD's hitters were as powerful as ever. Milk's amazing SB total for the week (24) was just 5 less than Foot's team has managed to get all season.

Brock 6- AZ Sting 4- Brock's hitters led him to a much needed win. He was a little unlucky on the pitching side though. He needs every point he can get if he is going to fight his way back in the playoff hunt. Brock currently sits in 9th place, 6 games back from that final spot.

Good luck to all in week 14!

Good stuff as always, tlance.

I am going to enjoy my jump in the standings for a brief moment before TKO's pitching onslaught begins. :rollseyes:

 

[Reverend Jim]

Good game tlance, and good luck this week rubba dub DUB.

Chef, I just sent you a few offers. Not sure I can do much better than that.

Curse you, Rev! Here we go again.

 

[Reverend Jim]

Curse you, Rev! Here we go again.

Damn you're quick. I sent you the offers and went for a smoke and starting thinking, what other 3rd baseman could I get for Kemp. Came inside to check and........oop, nevermind.

Next, anyone have an outfielder they'd like to trade for Lonnie Chisenhall?

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Great read T! I like Monday mornings..................I get to read your recaps and the score is 5-5. BTW, miss Jims previews..............I guess he's too busy smoking and trading........................lol.

 

[Sam Sportboy]

Hey TK, gotta give a guy credit for trying.....................your comment made me lol as that was what I was thinking while I was making the offer.............
