Summer is drawing to a close, kids are starting to head back to school in places, and we are six weeks from the end of our favorite nerdy game.  I am currently taking advantage of the last bits of summer with a little vacation time.  Apologies for a briefer than normal update, but you understand, […]

Time’s up!  Pencils down!  Trade deadline is over.  We enter into the 20s for weekly recaps and we have seven weeks to go in the Razzball Commenter Leagues.  As a group we made 113 trades, that’s down thirty from last season.  Those 113 trades involved 302 players, 187 of them unique.  Want to guess the […]

A few announcements before we dive into the Razzball Commenter Leagues week 19 stats.  First off, our RCL trade deadline is tomorrow at midnight, get those deals in while you still can.  Trade B_don all your closers.  Week 20 also marks the start of the next round of the Razzslam.  Not much you can do […]

The MLB trade has provided a lot of fun this season and luckily, most of our closers have stayed in a closing gig for now.  I have been stashing Ben Joyce and Andrew Nardi, just in case.  My lone Jeff Hoffman share appears to be toast, but who knows with the Phil’s bullpen.  Like the […]

Happy All-Star break, RCLers!  We’re almost 60% of the way now and this little lull in the action is a perfect time to regroup, analyze our teams and league standings, and formulate a plan for the rest of the season.  Are you up by 40 steals?  Well, maybe look to move a stolen base threat […]

We only had two trades this week in week 15 and that got me wondering how long teams had to improve their teams.  If I’m wondering, probably other people are too.  The answer is August 7th, we have about a month left to make any trades, buy or sell those saves, and aim for a […]

About halfway through week 14 marked our midpoint of the fantasy baseball season.  We tend to celebrate the halfway mark at the All-Star break, but this is actually our halfway point for stat purposes.  That means you should be sitting around 700 IP right now if you plan to max out, or at the very […]

Thirteen weeks down, lucky number thirteen.  Fitting then that we will open today by talking about “win luck”.  Now, Rudy will tell you that Wins are actually predictable as shown by his Ombotsman.  While the data and the bots may tell you this, as a human, it still seems like they are luck-based, do they […]

Just like that, we can’t have nice things.  First Acuna, now Mookie, our first round picks are dropping like flies.  The number of teams where I lost both Mookie and Yamamoto made this past weekend a rough one.  Replacing these players Monday morning was an exercise in futility.  Mookie turned into Miguel Rojas, and Yamamoto […]
