In the battle of Norfolk it is Norwich who advance to the next round. Only two pitchers allowed any earned runs, which was going to be hard to beat. The Chasers have had a great season, finishing second in the standings, and will be strong contenders for the consolation title.

Matt’s the way to do it: Olson (Norwich) 8 R, 5 HR, 10 RBI, 1.156 OPS

Core player: C Seager (Norwich) 2 HR, 6 RBI

I’ll be honest, I’ve no idea how I managed to defeat the Slugs, particularly with Yelich done for the year, Hill getting hurt again and Miley, Fried and Lucchesi choosing a really flipping bad time for a meltdown. Tip of the cap to the Slugs in what was a very well-fought matchup.

Slugging shortstop: Semien (Slugs) 10 R, 4 HR, 8 RBI

Home run machine: Suarez (Isotopes) 3 HR, 1.340 OPS

BGB Fantasy League 2019: Week 22

Week 22 saw three teams — Norwich, RBIs and Maltsters – fighting for the two remaining playoff places in the final week of the regular season. And as luck would have it, the RBIs and Maltsters went head-to-head. Who would keep their dreams of being BaseballGB Fantasy League champion 2019 alive?

Congratulations to Norwich and the RBIs for making it through. The season ends for the Maltsters, Riverkings, Bombers and Devil Rays. They are now free to watch a game without worrying about their ERAs. And there’s always next year.

Week 23 match-ups

Isotopes v Slugs
Bunting v Beckenham
Knights v RBI’s
No II v Chasers.

One of these eight will be crowned BaseballGB Fantasy League champion 2019. We’ll break down the quarter-finals in next week’s roundup.

BGB Fantasy League 2019: Week 21

Six teams have now booked their play-off place in the BGB Fantasy League.

That leaves two places remaining to be claimed ahead of the final week of the regular season competition. Here’s how the match-ups played out last week.

Great Giolito: Lucas Giolito (Knights) continues to mow down hitters, striking out 16 in his two appearances although no pitching wins were forthcoming thanks to his White Sox team ‘mates’.

Three-sy does it: Mitch Garver and Justin Turner both went deep three times for Bunting, whilst Starlin Castro and Nick Castellanos both did so too for the Bombers.

The only way to Save: Andres Munoz (Bombers) got the only save for either team.

Things that make you say ‘ouch’!: Reynaldo Lopez’s ‘contribution’ to Bunting’s week was an 81.00 ERA and a 10.50 WHIP.  For the uninitiated, that’s what’s known in fantasy baseball as ‘not very good’.

Good/Bad Luck: the key stat of the week was 27.1 innings pitched, as the missing-in-action Devil Rays made a rare foray over the 20 innings minimum. Good luck for them, bad for the Slugs not to benefit from a forfeited pitching category sweep!

Perfect 10: J.D. Martinez (Slugs) batted in 10 runs on the week.

Lovely Luis: Luis Castillo (Slugs) struck out 19 and gained two pitching wins.

Saves: Ken Giles and Brandon Workman both notched two saves for the Devil Rays.

Pinch-blogging rules!: The week I pinch-blog for Mark, my Chasers beat his Isotopes. Maybe I should do this more often?!

5 Alive: Eugenio Suarez launched 5 homers for the Isotopes.

Three is a magic number: Freeman, Rendon and Escobar all hit three homers on the week for my Chasers.

Speed kills: Jonathan Villar (Chasers) swiped 5 bags in one week.

Spread out the homers: no less than nine players went deep for the RBI’s last week.

Run and run: Mallex Smith (RBI’s) scored seven runs and stole three bases

Say ‘yes’ to a no-no: A&E benefitted from Justin Verlander’s no-hitter on Sunday. He picked up 2 wins and 18K’s on the week, whilst Michael Pineda also added two wins to Beckenham’s bunch alongside 17K’s.
