(mid)Weeknuts: Back from the dead


Get excited, cause Weeknuts is back from the dead!*


*for at least 2-3 weeks until I get bored / get too busy with work / the Hammies and Kiwis are so bad that I hate baseball again

Since we're mired in the mud that is the month long Week 1, we're declaring some mid week winners/losers, and recapping a few things from last year. On to it...

Dong of the Week:


Want to know something crazy? That's actually our very own BCov in that Philly Fanatic costume. It's true.

Transaction of the Week:

Andrew Benintendi, Shane Bieber, Miguel Sano for Marco Gonzalez, Domingo Santana, and...


GO BIG OR GO HOME.

Previous Week's MVP's:

No polls on the site, no asking around - these are my opinions. Go bitch to Jon if you don't like it. Since we're IN week 1, let's figure out last year's season MVP's...

AWL:

Mookie Betts - Kingslayers - 13 wins, 9 losses

.346 AVG 32 HR 80 RBI 129 R 30 SB

Mike Trout - Kingslayers - 13 wins, 9 losses

.312 AVG 39 HR 79 RBI 101 R 24 SB

Francisco Lindor - Ham Sandwiches- 17 wins, 5 losses

.277 AVG 38 HR 92 RBI 129 R 25 SB

Apologies to Jose Ramirez, Khris Davis, Blake Snell and a few others. Of this group of 3, I think it really comes down to Betts vs Lindor. Betts clearly had the better season but on a team that won 5 less games, and was in danger of not making the playoffs. That said, I don't think that's enough to say he's not MVP. He was a true 5 category monster last year, having one of the all time great Wombat seasons.

Winner: Mookie Betts

NWL:

Christian Yelich - Killer Pandas - 15 wins, 6 losses

.326 AVG 36 HR 110 RBI 118 R 22 SB

Javier Baez - Schatzy Turtles - 16 wins, 5 losses

.290 AVG 34 HR 111 RBI 101 R 21 SB

Nolan Arenado - Killer Pandas - 15 wins, 6 losses

.297 AVG 38 HR 110 RBI 104 R 2 SB

Apologies to Paul Goldschmidt, Trevor Story, Lorenzo Cain, Max Schrezer, Jacob deGrom, and more. Baez put up a hell of a season, but I think like in MLB, we're picking the same here. Yelich to me is the clear winner here.

Winner: Christian Yelich

Games of the Week:

AWL: Pez Sox @ Sittin Ducks

The Ducks fly again! They'll face their old rival the Pez Sox, and hope to see big games out of their 3* aces.

*I'd argue 2, but Zach seems to value David Price like he's in fucking 2012 or something.

NWL: Schatzy Turtles @ Fuzzy Kiwis



Soto vs Acuna, round 1.

See you all again next week, maybe.
