Rundown 4/17/2017

The Baseball HOT STOVE IS ON FIRE, a new legend emerges, and much more on this weeks' RunDown.

New Legend

We had a new legend emerge on the scene this week, giving League of Legends a test spin, checking out what it's all about. Everyone extend a warm legend welcome to Josh Dorr, AKA Dorrknob. Coach Dorr seems legit already racking up some points in MLS. Only true legends score points in MLS. Welcome board Josh. This ups our Legend Josh Count to a solid 2.

HOT STOVE MOVES OF THE WEEK



Legends we haven't seen a HOT STOVE like this in the long storied history of League of Legends Baseball. If it were not for, how should I say it, a Stalinisticish like Transaction Limit of 10 the STOVE would go NORTH KOREAN NUCLEAR. You can translate that how you wish cause the commish doesn't really have a good bead on foreign affairs but the Kim Dong Jong dude is blowing up missles and throwing parades.
  • Ervin Santana SP, picked up by Lime in the Coconut, POW! 32.5 point outing against the White Sox. Complete game shutout with 8Ks. 
  • Jason Vargas SP, picked up by PattyV for the start against Oakland 4/13. Pitches a 7.2IP Gem with 8Ks netting 23.17 points
  • CC Sabathia SP, Stump Grinders with the pick for the 4/15 start vs the Cardinals. Nets 20.33 points in 7.1IP with 6Ks. This has to be the absolutely worst baseball matchup imaginable. Who do you cheer for in Yankees vs Cardinals....no one really.
  • Bartolo Colon SP, Stump Grinders with another clutch pitching move snagging Big Sexy for his start against the Padres. Second team to own Big Sexy this week as Hits 4 Ks picked him up for the Miami game on 4/11. Big Sexy only scored 1 point for the Miami game which leads us to believe Big Sexy likes the West Coast sun better than the East Coast Sun.

Bus to Triple A



  • Clay Buchholz SP, picked up by Lime in the Coconut just in time for his 4/11 start vs the Mets. Kablooie -.17 points 2.1IP 6ER
  • Steven Wright SP, picked up by Hits for Ks for the 4/12 start vs Baltimore...BOOM -2.67, 1.1IP 8ER. Back to back Dingers in the first. First batter he faced in the second a dong out to right. 2 Batters later Chris Davis hits a massive dinger to right and at this point Wright's night was over.
  • Dansby Swanson - PattyV, 2/20 this week with 4Ks and a total of 1 point, sounds like a Braves Batter to me.
  • Sam Freaking Dyson - Here's My Donation,  2.1IP, 5ER, 2 Blown Saves -11.17 points. I didn't even think negative double digits was possible. Come on up to the front Dyson you can drive the bus this week. Dyson is out as closer paving the way for the Matt Bush era in Texas.
    "Bro your pitches are worse than Matt Bush's rap sheet"

Puig Heat Check

America's favorite hustle player added another dinger to his total this week. Racking up another 23.25 points and stealing another base. Hard to argue he is not the early front runner for best Dodger OF and quiet possibly unanimous MVP at this point in the season.






On A Boat

Next week I will be taking the family on a boat for some R&R. I am leaving the league in the semi-capable hands of jcomp. Not even sure I will have internet at all so consider this a chance to make up some ground as we head into a busy LOL month of May. Perhaps some sucker will leave their hot spot unsecured and I can bootleg some bits to make my legendary 10 roster moves.

Legend News 6/25/2015

The Streak  - we are a few days from wrapping up the streak. A few legends have asked me about scoring. Top Streaker (best win pct) gets full 2000 points. Remaining streakers get pct of points based on the following formula 2000 - ((Top Win Pct - Your Win Pct) * 2000). Most streaks get 200 point kicker with other legends getting pct of 200 points based on their top streak count. Finally you get a kicker for wins...Most wins 300 pts, Second most 200 pts, Third most 100 pts. Wimbledon Tennis Slam  - The draw is at 4:00AM Friday morning. I will try to have the picks up and ready before I head into work Friday. Tour de France  - that is right legends. We are picking the Tour de France. You will assign 4 riders to the various jersey colors of the Tour de France. the top 20 riders of each stage will receive points. If your pick wins the overall jersey color then you will get a bonus kicker at the end of the race. Rider list should be set first of next week and Emails will be sent when t

Bulls and Bears

Legends I was out mowing Friday and like any normal Legend was thinking of a new contest for the league. A few months back....(just checked it was September 2014, time has flown) I created a site called ClosingBell. It was apart of the League of Legends version 2.0 (technically we are playing on LOL v 3.0). Anyway ClosingBell was a stock pickem game where you picked the price of 5 stocks daily and you pick a closing day price. If you were within +- a certain percentage of the price you set than you got points for that pick. It was a daily thing, and a little complicated. Anyway, while mowing I was thinking there should be an easier way to make a stock pickem game for the legends. Thus the idea for Bulls and Bears was born. Here is the rough idea: Before the Monday opening bell Legends will pick 2 stocks.  Bull Stock - legends will pick a stock they think will rise this week Bear Stock - legends will pick a stock they think will fall this week Friday close prices are recorded

MLS League Moving

Yahoo Fantasy MLS League is garbage. jcomp found MLSsoccer.com has a fantasy league as well. At first glance it is mile ahead of Yahoo. We are trying out the league this weekend with plans to probably move the league to MLSSoccer.com. If you want to try it out this weekend give it a go. URL: http://fantasy.mlssoccer.com/ League Code: 28046-5323 Go to Leagues, create and join enter the code. Some cool features. You can autopick the team right off the bat. Nice feature. Then you can back fill the players you want. Captain - you can assign a team captain. This player's points are doubled. I thought this was pretty cool. Anyway give it a go and get signed up. If all goes well then we will abandon the yahoo league for the new MLSSoccer.com league.
