Check it out! The first three teams alphabetically also happened to be the top three teams by OPS, with the Bumpin' Utleys absolutely destroying the ball. On the pitching side, there is so much crazy stuff going on! This week's ERA leader had a 4.5+ BB/9. The best K/BB ratio (and highest K rate) resulted in a 5.26 ERA. Half of the league had a K rate over 8. There was a walk rate over 5.5. Awesome!

At pretty close to the season half-way mark, here's where we are:

Holy crap! ATPL owned both sides of the ball this week. Ham/Arbys and the Slut did okay with the sticks too. It was a good pitching week as evidenced by a solid league line. Great job, pitchers!

Sweet! Crazy awesome stuff from MVM, and just merely awesome stuff from Battlestar, Douchey, and Sweeney. I guess the saddest line goes to Killbots. On the pitching side, just like last week we have a weird disconnect from components to ERA on the low end, although ATPL put up a super solid line. Other good stuff was found in Douchey, Killbots, Utleys, CCC, and the Wolfpack. So really, half of the league put up great numbers for Battlestar to destroy.

Here's where we are at the 40%-ish mark:

Team	BA	OBP	SLG	ERA	K/9	W/9	HR/9	BIPA

Good stuff, Henchmen! Good stuff, Douchy! Good stuff, WCW! AWESOME stuff, Westside Telecom, Mauers, and SLUT! Pitching was okay, with good stuff out of Douchy and I guess some other teams. But why didn't anyone strike guys out? The Mike Sweeney Fan Club put up a 2.33 ERA with only 4.03 K/9! Such a weird week.
