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.

Rundown 4/10/2017

Horstman Master's Dominance, Tower continues his Yahoo league excellence, Baseball week 1 wrapup, that and more in this week's rundown. The Masters One could argue Horstman wasn't even paying attention to Season 3 League Of Legends. He shut all that noise down with a convincing Masters Championship foursome netting him 1000 fake internet points and 5 minutes of League of Legend fame. The winning foursome of Hideki Matsuyama, Rory McIlroy, Jordan Spieth, and Justin Rose pulled away from the rest of the field. Horstman scored a 100 point bonus for picking Rose who finished 2nd in the tournament. NHL Champion The only legend who showed up for the NHL draft completes his wire to wire run as NHL leader and champion. Tower basks in the glory of another league championship under his belt. Gras' team started hot in day one of the championship matchup netting 19.20 points (not even sure my team ever scored that many points in one day). Gras continued to build a lead headi...

Rundown 6/12/2017 - Jcomp edition

It was a big week across the athletic landscape as several sports and collegiate softball crowned champions. Nadal finished an all-time great run through the French Open, the Penguins won the Stanley Cup, and Lebron ended talk of the Warriors and an undefeated postseason. Meanwhile, Patty took the LOL season lead for all of 36 hours until TJS could finish his 100 hour work week and get back to his computer to “adjust” the scoring. We’re 12 days into the second streak month of the LOL year. I feel a bit like Bob Gibson probably felt in 69 after the whiners got their way and the rules were changed. Luckily enough we’re entering prime Cricket season which, outside of Russian Basketball, is my sweetspot. You guys better get ready for a load of Chris Gayle Hot Takes. Triple Frown We’ve seen six different horses win the six triple crown races since American Pharoah in 2015. While being a borderline sports degenerate is a necessity in the League of Legends, do any of us really care abou...

TJS Prediction : Hits for K's vs Lime in the Coconut championship showdown for all the points. Hits for K's has defeated the Coconuts twice this season and sho...
