Welcome to trade deadline week for the Razzball Commenter Leagues.  Once Saturday at midnight ET rolls around, you’ll be stuck with the team you have.  Well, minus the plethora of free agents out there on the waiver wire of course.  This is the time of year where you can really see some overpaying.  Just remember, if it helps you win, who cares.  Scrutinize those standings and uncover every avenue for gaining points.  This is easily one of my favorite parts of fantasy baseball roto leagues.  I love analyzing where I can gain the most points, or where you can trade a player to ding an opponent.  There’s nothing to be gained by winning HRs by 50, especially not if there are points to be gained in another category.  Be diligent, leave no stone unturned and happy trading!

Hello there, RCLers and welcome to another weekly round-up.  We’re hitting the dog days of the Razzball Commenter Leagues now, this is the time of year where teams in the bottom half of the standings check out and start drafting fantasy football teams.  But not you, good reader, you are sticking around for the long haul and grinding out those roto points.  Just a friendly reminder that our RCL trade deadline is approaching.  August 14th at midnight is your last chance to make any moves via trade.  I expect the next two weeks to be very busy with trades.  Speaking of the next two weeks, Rudy and the RCLBots are going to be out of commission for a bit.  That means today’s update and next weeks will be a bit smaller than normal with no Master Standings and no weekly stats to dig through.  However, the update on August 17th will be jam-packed with info, we’ll have three weeks of stats as well as an updated Master Standings.  A lot can happen in three weeks, so stay tuned.

Hello Razzball Commenter Leaguers and welcome to another RCL Update.  I am currently on vacation and have had way too many White Claws and far too much sun, so please bear with me on today’s update.  I’m still here with you, through thick and through thin.  We have exciting news in the Master Standings and we have some serious chatting to do about the RazzSlam playoffs.  Did you know there were playoffs?  Me either, so we can talk about that.  We had a slew of trades and some serious offense this week as well.  It feels good to have a full week again and to be back in the swing of things for the second half of our game.  Let’s go ahead and dive into the week that was, week 16:

We’ve just got a quick hitter this week for our Razzball Commenter League update.  With only three days in the previous week’s schedule, thanks to the All Star Break, everything is abbreviated.  There weren’t a lot of changes, but there are still some goodies to go over.  Plenty of trades were made and some decent mini weeks were had as we’ll see in the weekly leaders.  It’s pretty impressive what teams can pull off in just three days.  Let’s jump into all the juicy data from our mini week that was, week 15:

Happy All Star Break my fellow RCLers.  The Razzball Commenter Leagues can take a toll on your time, your social life, and your personal hygiene.  I hope you’re using the break to take a shower, get out of your sweat pants, and get reacquainted with your roommates, also known as, your family.  They’ve missed you.  Spend a moment and remind them that you are in fact, alive and well.  Show those that love you that you haven’t been lost in the wilderness for the past 14 weeks, being cared for by a pack of wolves.  In fact, you’ve just been winning fantasy baseball leagues.  You know, just like your idol, Son, current ‘Perts League leader who has two teams in the top five overall. Or, perhaps your idol might be Frank Grimes, current Master Standings leader.  GRIMEY!  Maybe you’re partial to Laura Holt, currently in eighth place in the Master Standings.  Or maybe you look up to VottomanEmpire, one of the better RCL players I know, currently sitting in sixth in the Master Standings.  Whomever it may be, hopefully, you’re kicking butt just like them and getting ready to keep it up in the second half.  Check out the current Master Standings and the rest of the All Star Break stats in the week that was, week 14:
