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 […]

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 […]

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.

Start the drum roll!  Twenty-Six weeks down and now we have 26 more until the start of next year’s fantasy baseball season.  It’s perfect symmetry because fantasy baseball is the perfect fantasy sport.  But, before we turn our eyes to next season we first have to recap this past season and with that, our overall Razzball Commenter Leagues Champion…Milo The Cat!  Congratulations to Milo for sneaking past FFB in the final week!  This makes two seasons now where FFB has led the pack down the stretch only to lose the overall lead in the final week, this time, slipping to third.  Milo is no slouch though, they have played in Night of the Living Zombinos, one of our toughest legacy leagues, (and a $100 league) since 2016 and finally take the league down.  They finished in third last season and hit 36th overall in the Master Standings, but this year is obviously much sweeter.  I’m always partial to our legacy leagues and love seeing an overall winner come out of one of them.  This year, it’s the entire top three!  That high LCI can be a blessing and a curse as FFB has found out, and I’ll get more into that later.  Milo had just 0.5 more league points than FFB, but that was enough combined with the better pitching to earn more Master Points and take the lead, topping Stl Squat Cobblers who rode a runaway ECFBL victory to second overall.  It was a bit of a down year for ECFBL, with just a 106 LCI, had that been a little higher the Cobblers may have won the title.  Milo The Cat really rakes it in, winning themselves a $250 Best Buy gift card!  More importantly, though, they get a Razzball T-Shirt and RCL glory.  Who can put a price on that?  Oh, it’s $25, well then, moving on.  If you catch Milo popping into this post, be sure to heap on the praise and congratulations.  They fended off some very tough competitors this year to claim the RCL crown.  This is Milo’s moment though, so hopefully they pop in, take a bow and soak it up, they earned it.  

Here’s what else happened this year and this final week of the RCLs:
