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 Stove Moves of the Week

Taking a week off the hot stove. I am working on a tool to grab all the transactions and display them more easier. Check back next week.

Get on the Bus to Triple A (past 7 days)

  • Jason Kipnis - Matt's Team, 4/24 joins the 10K club
  • Willson Contreras - HvuSnMyBall, 3/16 and 2 points
  • Ryon Healy - Josh's Team, 4/26, 3.75 points almost joins the 10K club coming up 1K short.
  • Fernando Rodney - Underhochevars, -2.33 points with 8ER and 2BSVs...yikes
    F-rod sees how high his ERA is on the scoreboard
  • Noah "No MRI for me bro" Syndegaard - Stump Grinder's, 5ER in 1.1 IP and a long trip to the DL. Thor got hammered.
    Does it look like I need an MRI bro?

Puig Heat check

Time to check in on Puig. Our hero is 5/23 with a dong, 4 singles, 2 walks (plate discipline), and 7Ks (all bad called 3rd strikes) for 11.25 points. He even got to watch the epic back to back to back bottom of the ninth comeback from the dugout. #winning

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) ...

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. ...

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 ...
