A satisfying week all around. The Hitters got their average up while the pitcher’s ERA stayed level. A look at the numbers, for the week:<\/p>\n

    \nHR 7; League Average; 7.4 Points 3: My guys should be hitting more HR than this. <\/ol>\n
      \nRuns 43; LA 36; Pts 8.5: Made a good move up the charts, I expect to only improve the run totals when they start hitting more HR<\/ol>\n
        \n

        RBI 42; LA 34.6; Pts 8: Another good move up the charts, many of my hitters are in a position to drive in runs. <\/ol>\n

          \nAVG .283; LA (an average of averages?) .2567 ; Pts 4: Well, they got me above the Mendoza line. I am lucky that some other teams fell back quickly, so I was able to pick up the points.<\/ol>\n
            \n

            SB 7; LA 3.6; Pts 10: I am starting to run away with this category (pun intended), but best not to get too cocky too early.<\/ol>\n

              \n

              W 5; LA 3.6; Pts 10: The Win category is still tight. I overtook the Indians because they only had 2 wins for the week. Next week it could be me. <\/ol>\n

                \nS 0; LA 2; Pts 1.5: The only reason I’m not at 1 point is because someone else didn’t get any closers either. Between the two of us we have 0 saves and the league leader has 8 in just 2 weeks.<\/ol>\n
                  \nK 50; LA 34.8; Pts 9: One advantage of having a lot of starters is that they face a more battters and have more chances to get a strikeout.<\/ol>\n
                    \nERA 3.80; LAA 3.73; Pts 5: The drawback to having a lot of starters is that the batters have more opportunities to earn runs from them. <\/ol>\n
                      \nWHIP 1.113; LAA 1.2614; Pts 6: The Walks plus Hits per Inning Pitched is a normalized ratio which should be standardized for all pitchers. Typically, closers have the best WHIP; starters are next best and the set-up pitchers have the worst WHIP.<\/ol>\n

                      I have nine starts projected this week between 7 starters. One start every day; with three starts on Thursday. Two pitchers will pitch twice this week. Let’s see how many wins they eke out this week.<\/p>\n

                      Of course, projections are based on standard pitcher rotation patterns. (Starters usually start every 4 or 5 days. Different managers have different rotations.) It doesn’t mean that I will actually have 9 starts to work with. Last week I had a pitcher originally projected for a Friday start who got pushed back to Sunday because of a sore elbow.<\/p>\n

                      And there’s always the joy of having 2 starters starting against each other. Had that happen last week. Not projected for this week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
