Rundown 3/20/2017

Welcome to the League of Legends rundown. A weekly (hopefully) rundown of all the sweet action from the real League of Legends (not that nerdy computer game). Season 3 is well under way with several leagues already started.

Baseball Draft This Weekend


We are days away from the baseball draft. The Draft Order has been set.

Round 1
1. HvuSnMyBball
2. Expos
3. UnderHochevars
4. WarningTrackPower
5. PhilliesPhanInKC
6. Josh's Team
7. PattyV
8. Here s My Doonation
9. Hits for Ks
10. Stump Grinder's
11. Matt's Team
12. Tower of Power


Talk about a first pick waste. I doubt HvuSnMyball even shows up for the draft. Trout will spend the summer wasting away on a team out of it by April...actually this seems pretty true to life. Hopefully HvuSnMyBall lands Pujols as well.




Results from my first Mock draft sitting in the 4 slot.
1. Kris Bryant (ChC - 1B,3B,OF)
2. Xander Bogaerts (Bos - SS)
3. Freddie Freeman (Atl - 1B)
4. Giancarlo Stanton (Mia - OF)
5. Jonathan Villar (Mil - 2B,3B,SS)
6. Matt Kemp (Atl - OF)
7. Evan Longoria (TB - 3B)
8. Justin Turner (LAD - 3B)
9. Odubel Herrera (Phi - OF)
10. Mark Melancon (SF - RP)
11. Matt Harvey (NYM - SP)
12. Yasmani Grandal (LAD - C)
13. Andrew Miller (Cle - RP)
14. Jake Odorizzi (TB - SP)
15. Jerad Eickhoff (Phi - SP)
16. Alex Cobb (TB - SP)
17. Tyson Ross (Tex - SP)
18. Neftali Feliz (Mil - RP)
19. Carlos Beltrán (Hou - OF)
20. Melky Cabrera (CWS - OF)
21. Nick Castellanos (Det - 3B)
22. Starlin Castro (NYY - 2B)
23. Brandon Moss (KC - 1B,OF)

First Impressions

  • Wonder how many dongs Stanton will blast this year? 
  • Matt Kemp will play 40 games tops. 
  • Oh look I got Grandal too...no thanks
  • Matt Harvey is on the trading block right now. 
  • I got old man Beltran!!!
     
  • Pitching looks a little suspect, but my infield looks decent. 
  • What no Starling Marte!!! Travesty
We'll have to see how it plays out Sunday night.

March Madness

Three cheers for the first annual..."My Bracket is a Dumpster Fire before Round 2" Award. Kranhold showed all legends how not to fill out a bracket.


Not sure which is worse, Kranhold's bracket or the fact that he is only 7 picks out of second place. Dumpster fires all over the legends' brackets this year. 

Streak

Super long streak then slow play is the strategy for Streak this month, according to current streak leader Jcomp. He didn't even need to first day free win to dominate the field. You know you are doing something right when they change the rules because of you. The next couple streak months will have the following changes to scoring.
  • 30 pick minimum for streak points to count
  • 1000 points for longest streak of the month and then graduated points for remaining legends
  • 1000 points for the highest win pct for the month and then graduated points for remaining legends
  • 100 point bonus for legend with the most wins for the month
This will reward the legend that has the longest streak as well as the legend that has sustained success throughout the month.

COUSIN VINNY’S LEAGUE OF LEGENDS WEEK 1 PICKS

COUSIN VINNY’S LEAGUE OF LEGENDS WEEK 1 PICKS Stump Grinder’s @ Warning Track Power The Grinder’s are led by an All Star cast of outfielders and should live up to their name with a bunch of gritty ball players. Warning Track Power is banking on MLB juicing the ball even more so it flies all the way out of the park. They will lean on their mashers. On the bump the Grinder’s roll out a strong collection of power arms. WTP is led by Thor acquired from the Grinder’s in the offseason and are hoping their strong bullpen will help once Greinke's arm finally falls off. Cousin Vinny says: Stump Grinder’s (-3) Prediction: Grinder’s 8 WTP 4 Expos @ UnderHochevars Will this be the year Trevor Story finally breaks out because if he does he will pair nicely with Bregman on that side of the infield. Hosmer and LeMahieu on the other side will balance out all of the K’s those two may rack up. UH trots out a collection of proven consistent bats hoping guys like Santana, Bruce, and ...

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. ...
