Welcome my good and decent Razzball Commenter League managers. How were your first four days of fun? Oh, you drafted a team full of White Sox did you? Ouch, Yoan Moncada, Lance Lynn and Lucas Giolito too? Welp, there’s always next year (Sorry Keelin!)! I kid, I kid, the RCL format is actually one of […]
Please, blog, may I have some more?Opening Day, is there any better feeling? Drafts are finally behind us and we can focus on this silly game of trying to figure out why managers hit terrible playoffs in the leadoff spot and try to comprehend their bullpen usage. A couple of things I’ll be looking at these first few weeks: with the […]

It’s the time of year, right before the season starts, where every ‘Pert feels on top of the world. Every team they’ve drafted is the best of their lives and the taeks are hawt. We’ve asked our very own Razzball ‘Perts to weigh in with only their hottest and boldest predictions for the 2022 fantasy […]

Four weeks ago I wasn’t sure this moment would come, but here we are in the midst of Razzball Commenter League draft season and all is right with the baseball world. The rest of the world? *Makes grimacing face*…well, at least there’s baseball. The RCLs seem to be gaining steam now too, every day I […]

I can still remember the time when I was blissfully locking down 40 homers and 25 steals to start my Writer’s League draft. Since that time my Razzball Commenter League world has been turned upside down and there’s a new top pick in town. Trea Turner has now secured the #1 overall pick six times […]

We have another week’s worth of draft data (five more leagues) to work with and about three weeks left of the Razzball Commenters League draft season. Now that we finally have good baseball news (and some bad…FTJ, we hardly knew your 2022 season) you should celebrate by drafting a dozen or so RCL teams! We […]

Twelve fantasy writers in one league and you thought we weren’t going to take this opportunity to hear ourselves talk (type)? Well, then you thought wrong! We’re all loaded with hot taeks! This isn’t the ‘Perts League that Grey hosts, this is just anyone that writes for Razzball and wanted to join the Razzball Commenter […]

We are in the thick of draft season now and we have real, live draft data to sift through. Numbers nerds, assemble! We have spreadsheets, charts, and ADP, oh my! It was a busy week here at Razzball Commenter Leagues HQ but I’ve gone through each league that has drafted and added their drafts to […]

First off, a humungous thank you to Grey for the recommendation and to Jeff Erickson, Todd Zola, and Peter Kreutzer (and any others over there I may have missed, apologies, I’m new!) over at Tout Wars for letting little ol’ me into the land of Touts. I’m still not 100% sure I belong…but then I […]

Razzball Commenter League drafts are off and running! It’s officially DRAFT SZN. Don’t let the chance to play with your favorite writers and commenters in free leagues for an overall top prize pass you by! Our first draft of the year went off yesterday and we have spots left to fill in one tonight and every night this week. If these don’t fill, I’ll have to move them later in the draft season, so tell your friends! I know some people are probably holding out for good CBA news and I hope the draft season doesn’t get extended too much here. Next week I’ll have the RCL ADP spreadsheet ready to go and we’ll really dive into the data and over-analyze to our heart’s content. As for now though, go sign up for a league drafting in the next couple of weeks and contribute to our data pool. It’s so easy to sign-up, it’s really just one click! Use it as a mock draft that is actually useful! Today, we’ll be going over how to approach your pitching in the RCL format, hopefully, to get you prepped for the first draft of the year.

Last week we covered why you should join an RCL, so this week let’s start covering what to do once you’re in there. To be honest, this has all been covered somewhere on the site over the years, most often by Rudy. If you haven’t been playing in RCLs though, I could see how some of this has been glossed over, so I’ll try to consolidate some info for the newbies. Grizzled RCL vets can feel free to skip this and just go sign up for leagues at the end of the post. We’ll just be covering the basics for anyone still timid about jumping in the RCL waters.
QUICK NOTE: I need our most frequent commenters to drop me a line in the comments and join the Frequent Commenter League. Just comment below and I will email you an invite to the email address you use to comment with.

We’re desperately waiting for the owners and the MLBPA to get their negotiating on and get us some pitchers and catchers reporting ASAP. While we wait, the Razzball Commenter Leagues are open and ready. I am anxiously awaiting being half as productive at work and losing countless hours of sleep as I stay up to see which closer comes out of the Mariners bullpen so I can beat my league-mates to the waiver wire! Football is fine and all, it fills the time from September to February but I always feel a little empty without baseball. I am thrilled to be back for another season as your RCL tour guide. The RCLs are a different beast than your standard 12 team mixer, so let’s go over what you can expect and why you should join us. We’re not a cult…we promise. I do think these are some of the most fun leagues around though, so grab some Kool-Aid and let’s get into it.
