Power Alley - Week 5


Biggest Gain
+5: Potomac Rage
The real standings weren't impacted much by the Rage's 8-7 record, but their underlying performances was superb as the team scored 82 runs and let up just 56. Their +26 Run Differential during Week 5 was the second best in the Harry Caray League. Leading the charge was Dean Chance. The #3 starter went 2-0 in three starts and in 24+ innings held a 1.48 ERA. Fellow starters Dazzy Vance (2.77 ERA), Ben Sheets (3.02 ERA), and Fernando Valenzuela (3.32) were very good as well.


Biggest Loss
-8: Chi Town Black Sox
At 2-12 during Week 5, it was an awful sim for the Black Sox. Just 3.5 games out of first place and 4 games above .500, the team ran into a buzz saw getting swept by John McDonald Fanclub, Warning Track Power, and the DC Chips. They also dropped a 4 games series to the Rochester Beau Brummels. The bats went cold, as a team batting .232 with a lowly .281 slugging percentage. Egard Martinez, Stan Hack, and Luke Appling batted below the Mendoza Line.
