It’s the penultimate Razzball Commenter League Update. The final update is a doozy and will feature loads of stats, records, and our overall champion. I’m shooting for Tuesday next week, but it could move to Wednesday given the girth. This update will be a little shorter since Razzslam is over and there’s not a ton going on as we ride out the final week. Still, we have weekly stats, a check in on the Perts League, some tidbits from Vin, and a TOW to crown, so let’s get to it!
Each week we’ll peek in at our resident ‘perts to see who is laying claim to best “expert” RCLer in the land. We’ll take notes, check the standings and generally stalk them. The heading is also hyperlink, so feel free to follow along as we go.
The standings held firm at the top, with the top four not budging. Kirksey lost one point, which puts Son within one point of the lead heading into the final week. Should be a heck of a finish! The Great Knoche caught the poor pitching bug this week with a 7+ ERA, causing him to lose 5.5 points and fall two places to seventh.
