Yep, Thats It ErnestoFrieri0401413 Photo by USATSI Ernesto Frieri nets negative 7 points in loss to Mike hunt smells like Trout Scoring the fewest points in the league for the week is bad strategy. Just ask Coach James. Boats Bullies ended up pretty far behind in this one, losing 287.5 to 224 to Mike hunt smells like Trout. The loss makes it three in a row for Boats Bullies, dropping their record to 0 - 3. The win brings Mike hunt smells like Trout to 1 - 2. Mike hunt smells like Trout got a nice group performance in the win, as seven players beat the league average. Shelby Miller was just a bit ahead of the others, tallying 34 points. Giancarlo Stanton chipped in as well, scoring 32.5 points. Stanton got lots of style points on his way to an MLB leading 26 RBIs, hitting a walk-off grand slam. Ernesto Frieri and C.J. Wilson were double trouble for Boats Bullies, together totaling -8 points. Wilson hopefully has some credit left over from last weeks 56 point performance. Frieri and Wilson had plenty of company, with Matt Garza (5 points) being the worst of six other underperformers. If it makes Coach James feel any better, it seems like Garza was just as upset about his play this week. Although they took the loss, Boats Bullies did get some good news. Clayton Kershaw threw at full strength in a bullpen session on Sunday and reported no ill effects. Hes now hoping for an early May return.

All Eyes on Me JordanZimmermann041914 Photo by USATSI Jordan Zimmermann (36.5 points) leads Ryan Express to a win over NGC Hopefully Coach Tony has some fingernails left.
