TWILOLB

It's time for our first installment (possibly only) of TWILOLB (This week in LOL Baseball). We find ourselves already 7 weeks into the season, quarter of the way through. Where has the time gone?


Epic Showdown of the Week

Warning Track Power vs. Stump Grinder's

A showdown of epic proportions. 2004 Red Sox vs Yankees. 1997 Florida Marlins vs Cleveland Indians. You get the gist. Stump Grinder's, after a slow week 1, the hottest team in the league with the highest total points. WarningTrackPower searching for his 4th league title in a row off to an undefeated start.


Heading into Sunday WTP was down by 71 and needed a miracle. That miracle's name was Gerrit "The Cubs are Not that Good" Cole with a game hotter than this week's Cubs take. WTP had 4 starters combine for 70.33 points and a Kimbrel 2K save to power past SG on the final day of the matchup. WTP totaled 110.08 points on Sunday to grasp the victory from SGs curiously strong clutches.



Get on the Bus Triple A Players of the week.





Batters
Triple A Batters of the week: Carlos Gomez, Brandon Moss, Matt Duffy. Can't blame Duffy for lack of effort folks, he had 21 AB and mustered 2 singles. Only struck out twice though. Keep hacking Duffy.





Pitchers
Triple A Pitchers of the week: Shawn Tolleson, Steve Cishek, Jose Berrios. Jose's outing was so bad he quite literally got on the bus back to Triple A. Chin up Jose.






Hot Stove Moves of the Week




  • PattyV picks up Logan Verrett in time for his start on 5/14. Logan promptly scores a whopping -3.33
  • HvuSnMyBall makes his first move of the season finally dropping Greg Holland in favor of Tyler White. You heard it legends Greg Holland is officially a Free Agent.
  • UnderHochevars makes the move to snag A-Rod 5/14. Say A-Rod how much are the Yankees paying you this year....
    21 million dollar smile.

Rundown 3/27/2017

The fires are out, the dust has settled, the League of Legends Baseball draft is complete. Chiefs617 shows us how to almost be a basketball champion in 7 weeks, Final few days of streak, and more in this edition of the Run Down. Almost Champion Chiefs617 has had an impressive 7 week stretch in NBA. Ownership changed hands Feb 1st as Sonderman evacuated his post as legend prior to Season 3 starting. From that moment on Josh's Mediocre Team buzz sawed through the competition with an impressive 6 game winning streak including wins against the top 3 teams. His luck ran out this week in the playoffs against Quebec Kids setting the stage for an epic showdown between Tower of Power and Quebec Kids for NBA league champion. The season series is split 1-1 so it should be an epic match up. March Madness Dumpster Fire We have a whole pile of dumpster fire legend brackets. Who will rise above the ashes to take first place? If UNC wins then thejoestory and PattyV will own the top 2 s...

Rundown 5/1/2017

Welcome legends to the RunDown May Day 2017 Edition. Commish goes on a boat, First Leg of the Triple Crown, and more in this week's edition of the Run Down Triple Crown We kick off the first leg of the Triple Crown showdown. Early odds are posted on the site. Go pick your horses and get ready for the most exciting 2 minutes of the first weekend in May (assuming your life is pretty boring the first weekend in May). http://www.thejoestory.com/lol/triplecrown Cruisin I am back on dry ground legends. If vacation taught us anything it taught us that I should just leave my baseball team alone. Let my team cruise (get it...yuck yuck) into first place dominance and just stop making moves. Took the family on our first cruise last week. First night of the cruise had me sicker than Noah Syndergaard owners today. Never spewed but first night had me thinking never cruise again. By day 2 it was a lot better and we had a great trip. Enough of that already how about some baseball. Hot S...

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 outin...
