Stats - Week 3

The Beer Cup

The Beer Cup has now been held by the Beer Bros., the Hot Tub Woody’s and the Dislocated Joints. Week 3 marked the 1st time that it was played for twice.  The Joints wrestled it away from the Woody's and then had to try and defend against the 3-0 Gruesome Devils.  Well the Devils are 3-0 no longer and the Dislocated Joints become the first team to successfully defend the cup.  Win or lose, the Beer Cup rights will only be played for once next week when the Joints visit the Red Dogs.

Teams that have held the Beer Cup

• Beer Bros.
• Hot Tub Woody's
• Dislocated Joints

Teams that have defended the Beer Cup

Notes Week 3.

• Everyone tries to pick 'hot' teams early.  Championships aren't won in May though.  It was a crazy week.  The Dog Catchers are 2-0 with both victories being by just a single run.  The previously 0-2 Brew Jays schooled the previously 3-0 Tap Masters.  The previously 0-2 Dislocated Joints got off the snide against the 1-1 Hot Tub Woody's who are now 1-2 with a plus minus of +1.  Strange indeed.  The Joints followed up at 1-2 by taking down the 3-0 Gruesome Devils.  Yep, weird week.   
• Just to make sure people that people don't think that the WHOLE league has been set on its ear, The Grisslies, Rusty Rebels and Red Dogs continue to lose (FRIG).  
• Randy Rose and Jason Jennings hit their first homeruns of the season out of Keogh Park on Monday night. Rose’s first of 2 homers was positively MASSIVE!  Rose would then follow up with a grand slam in his second game of the week, again clearing the right field fence with ease in Keogh.  Randy Rose is the unofficial leader in fence clearing home runs with 3!!!  Nice bombs Randy.
• After the HR’s, I encouraged Downtown Billy Brown to hit one out. He said, “did I ever tell you about my last home run?” I said no. Then his eyes lit up like only happens when DTBB is about to regale you with a story; or when he sees Yorkshire pudding. And he proceeds to tell me through semi-glazed eyes, “1991. I was in a tournament and I was leading off. I hit the 1st pitch clear out of the park. Over the fence! I did a trot around the bases and crossed the line at home plate to high five’s. Then the ump looks at me and says ‘No Pitch, I didn’t say Play Ball’. The home run never counted and I never hit another”.  Wow.  And I thought I had bad luck.
• The shirts are in, the shirts are in!!! Nice job again Paul, they look great!
• Thanks to the Blues Brothers and Gruesome Devils for the quick turnaround on the make up date from Monday.  As I was reminded (repeatedly), it was just as cold on Tuesday night.  I still maintain that 8 degrees is a lot better than the -4 that you would have been playing in.  But efforts to make that game happen is appreciated.  Same as well to the Beer Bros and Grisslies.  We've escaped week 3 with our schedule intact.  Thanks guys.  
• How about those Leafs!  I promised Marky-Mark that I wouldn't say anything bad about them, so lets focus on the positive.  They lost Game 7 in record breaking fashion!  Way to go!!!

• We're under 50 days to the Help The Kids Play Tournament!  Bring it on!
• Randy Rose is the unofficial leader in fence clearing home runs with 3!!!  Nice bombs Randy.   
• So far we have 107 player who have hit in every game this season, down 29 from last week. 
• So far we have 41 players who have scored in every game this season, down 42 from last week.

STATS

Standings - the League view has a 5 way tie for 1st place

Standings - My view is that the Dog Catchers alone in 1st place by a 1/2 game over 4 other teams. 

 
Averages....well all those 1.000 hitters are gone except for Mr. Hjelholt.  Numbers 2 through 6 are particularly impressive having done it through 3 games.

A definite advantage to the clubs that have played 4 games already.  

 Seriously?  Jens?  Again?

The list of guys that you better keep off base because their going to score if they get on. 

And the list of guys that you don't want to even see come to the plate because you know their not just likely to get on, they're likely to score.  

 It'll take being hot for an extended period, but 47 may fall.  2 runs every game all year.  Could happen!
 

 Wow....The Dodge City  Rounder with a hot hitting Rookie?  Really?  My, that's unusual.

 Rick, Murray and Eric are the only new additions to the list this week.  Nice average bumps boys. 

 Things you may have missed this week.
