Pardon me while I channel Rickey Henderson, writing in third person as the winner of Tuesday’s Tout Daily.
This was the third week of the initial four week period. There will be five periods, with the top three point-scorers in each awarded a Golden Ticket into the Survivor-style finals.
Zola, known for his rugged good looks and suave demeanor also vaulted into the lead for the wild-card Golden ticket, awarded to the highest scorer over the course of the contest, a feat he’s accomplished the past two seasons.
Zola brilliantly rode a pair of Brewer homers from Lorenzo Cain and Travis Shaw to his dominating 36.05 point victory. The Tout considered one of the humblest in the industry also got a dinger from Sal Perez as well as solid outings from Rick Porcello and Kenta Maeda. Check out my, I mean Zola’s field-crushing lineup below.
Failing to not quite match Zola’s 139.65 points genius were Justin Mason and Jason Collette, finishing with 102.05 and 95.05 points, respectively.
With one week remaining in the Period, Zola is trailed by Rick Wolf and Phil Hertz in the quest for the first three Golden Tickets. Here’s the Leaderboard.
Be sure to check out the Tout hitter and pitcher picks this Friday, April 27 for the final week of the period. New this season, Rotowear is providing a t-shirt to the period champion. Zola hopes they come big enough to fit him and his ego.
Please excuse me, I need to have my tongue surgically removed from my cheek.
