As promised, here is an epic breakdown of first half performances.
Offensive Power Rankings: Team, Score (Record)
1. Adrian 39 (42-24-4)
2. TJ 37 (42-23-5)
3. Ben 34 (39-31)
4. Kurt 33.5 (34-32-4)
5. Alex 32 (35-30-5)
6. Jarrett 30.5 (29-37-4)
7. Richie 20 (34-32-4)
8. Colin 19 (31-37-2)
9. James 16 (22-46-2)
10. Drew 14 (27-39-4)
Adrian’s offense has powered him to a first place, first half finish. TJ, while having a better record, comes in 2 points behind Adrian in the offensive power rankings. Ben just cannot get an offensive tie. Kurt’s offense has been solid, coming in at #4. If you look at the numbers you would expect his offense to be more than 2 games over .500. Alex closes out the top half of the offenses with 32 points and an offensive tie with TJ, as they both have 5 ties.
Jarrett comes in at 6th, with an offensive record that would suggest a low score; especially with Richie 10.5 point behind and a record of 34-32-4. Colin’s offense also appears to have gotten lucky at times, as he is the best of the three managers with less than 20 points. James’ offense has been awful, and he has not received any luck in his matchups with a 22-46-2 record. Drew comes in dead last, and appears content with that. Before the All-star break he shipped off one his best offensive threats for more pitching.
Pitching Power Rankings:
1. Drew 50 (52-17-1)
2. Colin 38.5 (37-30-3)
3. James 38 (32-35-3)
4. Kurt 25.5 (38-29-3)
5. Adrian 25.5 (37-32-1)
6. Alex 24.5 (30-38-2)
7. Jarrett 23 (27-43)
8. Tj 21 (34-35-1)
9. Ben 16 (22-43-5)
10. Richie 13 (28-39-3)
Drew is dominating the pitching categories, which makes you wonder why he was shopping for pitching before the break. Can he post better numbers than the 50 overall points and 52-17-1 record? This writer says “No!” Colin’s starting pitching staff has been solid, while James sneaks into third thanks to a plethora of spot starts. The 32-35-3 pitching record suggests that start volume isn’t his problem, it’s quality. Kurt comes in at #4, edging out Adrian by having the better record. Adrian comes in at 5th, getting edged out by Kurt due to an inferior record.
Alex is at the top of the Bottom Five, and his record seems a bit unlucky. While on the subject of bad luck, Jarrett has not had a tie in any pitching category thru the first 14 weeks. Why is that unlucky? I can safely assume that all the ties would have been wins. Tj, on the other hand, has been incredibly lucky. Despite having the third lowest point total he is just one game under .500. Ben and Richie have just had terrible pitching staffs.
Overall:
1. Adrian 64.5
2. Drew 64
3. Kurt 59
4. TJ 58
5. Colin 57.5
6. Alex 56.5
7. James 54
8. Jarrett 53.5
9. Ben 50
10. Richie 33
What an incredibly close race, top to Ben. Richie should be counting his blessings, as he is still in a position to grab a playoff spot. Hope you enjoyed the Power Rankings! Tune in on Tuesday for something else.
