It's been awhile

Hello loyal readers. I'm sorry it has been so long since I last posted. As usual, real life got in the way. I'll try to get a new post out with the power ranks soon.

Week 12 PowerRanks

First, let me preface this week by saying I found a small error in my spreadsheet which led to errors in figuring the Weekly PR+. I have fixed this and changed the last week ranks to be correct as well. The difference is probably minor. In most cases, I've noticed that it increased the total.

The LA Dodgers had another excellent week beating Team LA 8-2 and posting a PR+ of 133.0, good enough for second place in the weekly ranks. Things look bleak for last season's champion Team LA as they managed to barely win Net Stolen Bases and pitching strikeouts by 1 and 7 respectively. Tyler, meanwhile, punched up the most RBI's, 2nd fewest batting Ks, 3rd best OBP, was pretty much average in NSB, W, SV, pitching Ks, the best ERA and WHIP. So, yeah, he's doing pretty well.

Lyin' Co. Reformers rebounded nicely this past week, but still lost 8-2 managing to take only batting Ks and NSB. Overall, his scores were average or above average contributing to an above average 112.1. It will be interesting to see how he fares against the suddenly good tropical bakers in Week 13.

Match-ups in Week 13

Iger's Tigers vs. Seal Beach Dreamers

These two teams are first and second in the yearly PowerRankings and were first and third in the weeklies. Who will pull out the victory this week?

Lyin' Co. Reformers vs. tropical bakers

Lyin' Co. Reformers went from 2nd worst to 5th and look to continue the upward trend this week. Jordan and the tropical bakers have been surging lately, though and so far this week are winning 8-1.

Soi Disant vs. Mitchell Mudhens

Both teams are within 6 points of each other in the Yearly PowerRanks. In fact, until this past week, Soi Disant was above 100 and just below Mitchell Mudhens in the ranks.

LA Dodgers vs. Lucky 13's

The LA Dodgers are riding a hot streak where they've won 8-2 the past 2 weeks. The Lucky 13's are trying to end a four game skid, with the last three losses by 2 points or less. Can they slow down the Dodgers?

Charisma vs. Team LA

Charisma has been just about average the entire season. Finally, he has come out and won 2 in a row after being win-less since the beginning of the season. Team LA has alternated wins and losses, but is our former champion on the ropes after losing 8-2 to the LA Dodgers?

SD ThunderCrack vs. sorbet d'arc-enciel

The ThunderCrack go head to head against the delicious frozen treat. Both have losing streaks coming into the game but the ThunderCrack have had the better PR+ rank and on paper it looks like a straight forward match.

See you next week!
