The Wire Troll: Nate Schierholtz Coming of Age

/ Baseball, The Wire Troll

Yet somehow, he is still unowned in most leagues. Schierholtz is flashing extra-base pop (three homers, nine doubles), some speed (three swipes) and BA skills (.313) while playing most of the time. While his walk rate is down this season, his BABIP has stabilized after a torrid start, suggesting that he might be able to maintain a pace close to this going forward, so pluck him off your wire now.

2012-13 NBA Wire Troll All-Star Team

For some reason, Sacramento seemed to really have a tough time wrapping its head around the idea that Thomas was a core piece of the team’s future. Then again, there’s a reason the Kings have floundered to seven straight losing seasons. Thomas got off to a sluggish start this season, but averaged over 17 points with 5.4 dimes and 2.1 treys per game after the break. In his second season, he got more touches, and while he didn’t shoot quite as well as his rookie effort, his gains in other areas were enough to ensure it was a season of modest development. Thomas’ size (5’9″) is always going to make some people doubt his defensive ability (and hence his future as a starter), but this kid can contribute offensively in a big way. Assuming he’s given 30-to-35 minutes per game, he’s poised to break through next season.

Video Game Review: God Mode

With no tutorial, it’s a veritable trial by fire, and although you’ll probably be quick to work the controls out yourself, it’s still a slight annoyance. Movement speed is also a problem — more than likely made slower to make sprinting more appeasing, but even sprinting could use just a little more boost. Rolling, although nice to watch, is far too slow to be useful to dodge most enemy attacks, and you’ll find yourself falling back onto the basic backpedal and shoot strategy for most areas.

Next, there’s Daud’s actual powers. Take careful note when you do your first set of upgrades because Daud’s setup is a consolidated version of Corvo’s. In short, Dark Vision and the Heart have become one… so have Blink and Stop Time. Therefore, upgrading from the default level to level 2 makes a big difference, so allocate your runes accordingly.

The Wire Troll: Hockey’s Final Short Week?

/ Chris Wassel, Hockey, The Wire Troll

Grabner averages around 2.5 shots a contest which is modestly good and for the season he has 16 goals in 42 games which is not too bad either. He is owned only in 15-to-20 per cent of most leagues from an across the board standpoint. Will you take that risk? It may be worth it as the Islanders continue to fight for a playoff berth. Teams will key on the first two lines while Grabner sneaks some man advantage time along with his third line role.
