It was a bloodbath out there this week, folks. I had teams with ERAs of epic proportions thanks to Bryan Bello, Freddy Peralta, and Hurston Waldrep, who took time off from the front of the Monopoly box to ruin my ratios. If you managed to avoid these landmines and others, you were likely rewarded by a charge up the standings. That was most certainly the case in ‘Perts League this week. Vin always includes little tidbits from the week when collecting the stats and this week he mentioned that there were 16 teams with an ERA over 7.00 this week. Six teams had an ERA under 2.00 and most likely those teams made big jumps. Let’s dig into some more of the high points from week eleven!
Each week we’ll peek in at our resident ‘perts to see who is laying claim to best “expert” RCLer in the land. We’ll take notes, check the standings and generally stalk them. The heading is also hyperlink, so feel free to follow along as we go.
Mike C and Son were both top three in ERA and WHIP this week with Mike C also leading the league in Runs, RBI, batting average, and strikeouts. That was good enough for an 8.5 point gain and move into first place. Son shot up eight points and moved into second place. Going the other way this week were Laura, Grey, and Cram It, who all had ERAs over 4.5. Laura lost the most points this week (7) but it was B_Don who only lost two points who fell the most places (3) being part of that huge bundle of teams in the middle of the league.
Each week we’ll also take a look at the top ten overall standings in our other Razzball sponsored league, the RazzSlam. This is our NFBC Best Ball league with managers from all across the industry, from content providers to fans and readers just like you.
Once again, the top three teams remain the same. A couple new teams entered the top ten this week, Bryan Parada and Aaron Rieke, and J HAMMERMAN pops back in. The biggest jump this week belongs to Tyler Dato who scored a whopping 708 points and moved up 47 places to 60th overall.

TEAM OF THE WEEK
Our weekly shout out to the team that killed it the previous week.
Team: One Trick Pony
League: ECFBL
Stats: AVG: .321, R: 51, HR: 18, RBI: 46, SB: 12
IP: 55.2, ERA: 2.10, WHIP: 0.880, K: 66, W: 6, SV: 1
Summary: One Trick Pony clearly rosters all the batters who faced my pitchers this week, there is no other explanation. I always enjoy when the ECFBL gets some love, as this is my favorite league to play in every year. This group is filled with sharks and winning this league is no easy feat. For example, OTP was in last place this time last week. However, weeks like this go a long way. OTP gained 13 points to move up to 66 and moved from 12th to 6th. It was a full team effort this week – Alec Burleson had 3 home runs, while six others chipped in two each. Four players had at least two steals, with Jarren Duran leading the way with four. Six different pitchers earned wins – Max Fried, Jake Irvin, Logan Webb, Garrett Crochet, Kenley Jansen, and Bryan Woo. Woo and Irvin each tossed six shutout innings, while Chris Bassitt allowed one run in 8 IP. Heck of a week, and clearly more than one trick for this pony.
