The injury news keeps coming. This week, it was some vague news about Aaron Judge’s ribs. It could be 4-6 weeks, it could be the whole season, who can tell!? Sunday saw Bobby Witt Jr. leaving the game with a sore knee. Hopefully, that’s not serious or two out of three picks will be on the shelf. With Judge, Raleigh, and Murakami all IL’d, we’re left with Schwarber and Yordan leading the HR charge. Ben Rice is also always around and is currently the number one teammate, what a steal he has been this season. Speaking of rice, he was involved in a good trade this week. Let’s take a look at that and some other stats from last week, week 11.
‘PERTY ‘PERTS
Each week we’ll take a peek at our residents to see who wants the best “professional” RCLer in the country. We will take notes, check postures and generally trap you. The article is also a link, so feel free to follow along as we go.
Gray and Cram It both led the league in points scored this week with six. Cram moved up two places to fifth with the effort, and Gray jumped over me for the top spot even though we tied for 50 points. We are doing really bad this year. MarmosDad went the other way this week, dropping 4.5 points from fifth to seventh.
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.
I hope all your FAAB dreams came true last week. I grabbed Casey Schmitt, who was my top target, and traded Robby Snelling for $1 Aaron Ashby and Bo Naylor for $1 Mickey Gasper. Just shed the dead weight and use every last dollar. We will see if it helps me.
We had a great change of pace this week with Matt Poole overtaking James Sweeney in the top spot. Andy Behrens moved into third and Mike C jumped into fifth. You shoot Andy after adding Casey Schmitt, Antonacci, and Ben Brown, a good FAAB machine. Roto_Wan dropped to seventh place this week.
Gray was the top team at RazzSlam this week, scoring 784 points and jumping up 76 to 55th!

Eight deals this week, including a few doozies! I had a few spare jars and was eager to save from the DFSers. Vin traded Elly at RCL 15 only to see her pull a hammy immediately. That’s a cruel time. Davis Martin’s James Wood is crazy and talkative, but Stormminator made me promise not to blow them up this week. They lead all batting categories and are last in ERA/WHIP. I still think they could have gotten a better return for Wood, but I get it. See also, Kyle Harrison’s Sal Stewart. This one feels right, though. Our zen teacher, AD Hamley traded Shohei Ohtani for two top raters, top hitter and top pitcher while trading Mason Miller for Louis Varland. I think if I trade for Shohei, this is a reasonable deal. A surprising exchange for both teams, honestly.
CHURCH LEADERS
The best of the week that was.
R – 60 – Big Doinks (RCL 6) and Mr. Big & Bud Goode (RCL 34)
HR –21 – El Duderinos (RCL 9)
RBIs – 65 – cubbiebearz (RCL 28)
SB – 16 – El Duderinos (RCL 9)
AVG – .330 – All about Basallo (RCL 26)
K – 93 – OysterToads (RCL 12)
W – 11 – OysterToads (RCL 12)
SV – 10 – Fightin Gobblers (Caught Watching)
ERA (Min. 40 IP) – 1.09 – Chesofero (RCL 14) & The The (RCL 22) (in 49.2 IP)
WHIP (Min. 40 IP) – 0.711 – Orlando Calrissians (Original Recipe) (in 45 IP)
No new records this week, but something of a coincidence as we had two teams with the exact same ERA and the same amount of IP. I don’t think I’ve seen a tie in ERA since I did weekly leaders…*whisper*…a decade ago. ANYWAY, keep going! Also, it is very impressive to fill in the slam and legs king and lead the RCLs in both HR and SB. Good job, El Duderinos.
Some weekly stats from VinWins:
11 teams had an ERA under 2, and 50 teams had an ERA over 6! MarmosDad has 2 teams with a 7+ ERA. A little catch from our top 100 SP writer.
14 teams hit under .200, and 26 hit over .300.
99 teams had 0 saves this week! (Up from 123 last week)
THE CHURCH GROUP
Our weekly shout out to the team that killed it last week.
Team: The leader of the mice
League: The Original Recipe
Stats: AVG: .278, R: 48, HR: 17, RBI: 62, SB: 11
IP: 49.1, ERA: 2.19, ERA: 1.216, K: 55, W: 5, SV: 5
Summary: Yordan Alvarez made a standout appearance on the senior team for the second week in a row. This week, he hit .476 with two home runs, nine runs batted in, and six runs scored. Hunter Goodman hit four homers and drove in eight, even stealing a few bases. Isaac Paredes hit three long balls and scored nine runs. Freddie Freeman (.345/2 HR) and Jake Bauers (7 R/2 HR/7 RBI) were also big contributors. Ronald Acuna Jr didn’t match his monster numbers from last week, but he had three steals. Jacob deGrom was the star with a double and 14 strikeouts in 11 shutout innings. Bryce Elder scored 10 in his first two games and added another win. Robbie Ray also got the win with 5 scoreless innings. Raisel Iglesias (3 saves), Jake Latz (2 saves), and Robert Suarez combined to not allow a run in nine and a third frames. Trevor Megill gave up the team’s only run in relief, but got the win. The big church, got the Leader of the Mice 15 points to make him the leader of the mice and men. Lennie would be proud. LoM took out the eternal leader, Man or Stroman? as they jumped from fourth to first and demoted Stroman to second. Impressive.
