Razzball Commenter Leagues, Week 14, 2026 Fantasy Baseball

The mid-market has lit a fire under some teams, and we’ve had our biggest trading week of the year. Borrowing from Mr. Pants, ELEVEN, trade this week. I know I’ve started looking at teams that are ahead in some areas, lacking in others, and I’ve sent out feelers. VinWins broke down the trading numbers to get more insight into the minds of RCLers (shudder). We had 11 trades this week involving 36 players! That brings our season total to 77 with 221 players, 150 of which are unique. Bo Bichette was traded twice this week – three times on the season. Max Meyer, Yamamoto, and Nolan McLean were all traded for the first two seasons this week. Paul Skenes was sold two more times, making it five this season! RCLs 21 & 27 made their first trade. Now 12 leagues do nothing. RCL 19’s two turnovers put it at eight, the most of any league. COUGS R US & RCL 30 each made their seventh trade. We will look at the deals for each week and some statistics for the previous week, week 14.

‘PERTY ‘PERTS

Each week we’ll take a peek at our residents to see who wants the best “professional” RCLer in the country. We’ll take notes, check postures and generally trap you. The article is also a link, so feel free to follow along as we go.

Not much to do in Perts this week. Son had his best week, picking up four points and moving up to seventh despite not leading the league in any category. Coolwhip had a terrible week, but only lost 3.5 points and fell to eighth place. Mike C held the lead with Kirksey bringing up the rear.

RAZZSLAM STANDINGS UPDATE

Each week we’ll also look at the top ten standings in our other Razzball sponsored league, RazzSlam. This is our NFBC Best Ball league with managers from across the industry, from content providers to fans and readers like you.

Todd Clark made a move this week and took over the top spot as James Sweeny dropped to second. Andy Behrens returned to third and Kevin Hasting returned to the top ten, jumping up to fourth after a week off. The Mikes continue to make Razzball proud in sixth and seventh place. The big movers this week were Homerzygous with 705 points (31 jumps to 36th overall) and Aaron Cumming who scored 691 and moved up 46 places to 192 overall. There are only two weeks left to move into the top two of your league or be relegated to the losers bracket.

WORKS

All trades that have gone down in the past week. Public ridicule is not only allowed, but encouraged.

Someone, please sell me Hunter Goodman for Troy Melton. Even if I already have two hosts, I’ll take that deal. It’s interesting to see the different restorations of Skenes, Yamamoto, and Elly. So much is based on needs, based on the league, that it’s hard to judge it out of context. For example, my Cal Raleigh trade for Ryan O’Hearn doesn’t tell you that Raleigh was demoted and I picked him up when he was IL’d even though I already had Drake Baldwin. Did I sell Raleigh low? Yes, but I have Ohtani in this league and I couldn’t play Raleigh physically. At least O’Hearn is working.

CHURCH LEADERS

The best of the week that was.

R – 55 – TEAM PINKMAN (RCL 12) & Hanky ​​(RCL 17)

HR –21 – JJPanson (RCL 24)

RBIs – 66 – JJPanson (RCL 24)

SB – 16 – Atavistic Abalones (The Laura Holt Challenge) & Longballers (COUGS R US)

AVG – .339 – Chicos Bail Bond (RCL 35)

K – 101 – The Great Grognards (RCL 19)

W – 8 – 7 Teams Tie

SV – 9 – Backdoor Cutters (NOTLZ) and Halcyon (RCL 10)

ERA (Min. 40 IP) – 0.90 – Sad Sad Leroy Frown (RCL 9) (in 50 IP)

WHIP (Min. 40 IP) – 0.80 – Sea Pilots (CRAB ARMY) (at 50 IP)

The Great Grognards tied the weekly mark for strikeouts with 101, but no other records were broken this week. I love even numbers in ratios and innings pitched, and if you can say Sad Sad Leroy Frown without singing it like Jim Croce, you’re a better person than I am.

Some weekly stats from VinWins:

Sea Pilots (CRAB ARMY) best WHIP for 2nd week in a row! This led me to check out his team:

That will play.

32 teams had an ERA under 2, and 10 teams had an ERA over 6.

16 teams hit under .200, and 8 hit over .300!

81 teams had 0 saves this week!

THE CHURCH GROUP

Our weekly shout out to the team that killed it last week.

Team: Backdoor Cutters

League: NOTLZ

Stats: AVG: .281, R: 42, HR: 18, RBI: 46, SB: 6

IP: 73.2, ERA: 2.32, ERA: 1.032, K: 74, W: 5, SV: 9

Summary: The Backdoor Cutters became the third different NOTLZ team to take home TOW honors. That’s incredible. The cutters were not just high value savings (leading RCLs). The surprising offensive leaders were Luis Garcia Jr. and Joc Pederson. Luis hit .529 with five home runs, eight ribbies, and six runs scored, while Joc hit .500 with three solo homers. Cedric Mullins and Kody Clemens knocked two out of the park, and Mullins also had a steal. Jazz Chisholm Jr. (1 HR/1 SB) and Julio Rodriguez (.320/2 steals) also contributed. The real strength of this team was on the pitching side, however, led by the bullpen’s nine saves. Josh Hader threw four scoreless innings and struck out six for the win and two saves. Tanner Scott also picked up two saves without allowing a run. Jacob Latz (3) and Caleb Kilian (2) combined for 5 saves, but had less than stellar ratings. Robbie Ray, Logan Webb, Eric Lauer, and Brandon Woodruff combined for 26.2 scoreless innings and three wins. Kyle Bradish added a win and 11 strikeouts in his two innings, while Jesus Luzardo struck out 19 over 11 and 2/3 innings. It was a big week at the top with the Cutters adding seven points and jumping from fifth to first in a tight race.
