RCL Update: The Week That Was, Week 24
September 19, 2017 | Our Leagues, Razzball Commenters League | 6 Commentsby: MattTruss
It’s that time of year again, when teams looking to max out their counting pitching stats (strikeouts and wins) or who hope to get lucky (or have nothing to lose) and lower their ratios, stack up nine starting pitchers on their final day of starts and see what happens. This is a strategy that has caused quite a bit of consternation over the years of the Razzball Commenter Leagues, but in the end, it’s not against the rules and if you want to take the risk, that’s your prerogative. Y! Leagues feature the same characteristic where, on the day you go over your IP limit, all stats count. This is no different. Thus far, 4 teams have maxed out with 188 Games Started. I have two teams that have taken the plunge, as has Simply Fred of ECFBL and # Sozo of Cougs R Us. ECFBL and Cougs R Us are routinely two of the most competitive RCLs and, speaking on behalf of the 5 years I’ve played in ECFBL, typically 75% of the league will hit the 188 threshold. Strikeouts and wins are usually so tightly contested, that every inning counts. Unless you are holding a slim lead in the ratios that you don’t want ruined, there’s not much to lose in maxing out your stats. So, how have our trio managers made out? We’ll look at that and more from the week that was, week 24 below:
Please, blog, may I have some more?
