It’s been a busy day, and I had an issue with Kendall Graveman (Dave: the commissioners program reported that Graveman had a stray “w” in his database entry, which I can’t find). Finally I decided to leave Graveman out of the update, so the Alleghneys are going to be slightly off on these standings.
Enjoy this update, even if it is late. I may have difficulty getting an update done timely tomorrow, Wednesday and Thursday.
EFL Standings for 2016
| EFL | ||||||
| TEAM | WINS | LOSSES | PCT. | GB | RS | RA |
| Haviland Dragons | 93 | 51 | .648 | — | 760.7 | 556.8 |
| Old Detroit Wolverines | 90 | 52 | .633 | 2.5 | 733.8 | 558.0 |
| Portland Rosebuds | 86 | 56 | .606 | 6.2 | 708.2 | 563.5 |
| Pittsburgh Alleghenys | 85 | 57 | .601 | 7 | 771.9 | 630.0 |
| Canberra Kangaroos | 80 | 63 | .559 | 12.9 | 720.7 | 626.3 |
| Peshastin Pears | 78 | 64 | .551 | 14.1 | 696.0 | 618.3 |
| Flint Hill Tornadoes | 70 | 72 | .493 | 22.4 | 616.3 | 621.4 |
| Kaline Drive | 67 | 77 | .468 | 25.9 | 707.5 | 766.5 |
| Cottage Cheese | 61 | 81 | .429 | 31.4 | 649.3 | 749.8 |
| D.C. Balk | 51 | 92 | .358 | 41.6 | 614.6 | 829.0 |
Haviland: L, 3 – 3. (.242, .286, .364; 8 ip, 5 er).
Old Detroit: W, 5 – 0. (.275, .339, . 471; 21 ip, 4 er). It looks more and more like, if anyone is going to dethrone the defending champs, it’s going to have to be the Wolverines. I doubt we’re up to it, but at least we haven’t turned tails and run like some people. Yet.
Portland: L, 3 – 4. (.277, .320, .447; 8 ip, 2 er).
Pittsburgh: L, 4 – 9. (.282, .326, .538; 0 ip, 0 er). Graveman’s stats worked before today, so I don’t know what happened. But just so you can estimate the effect, here are some September stats:
Graveman: 11.3 ip, 8 er, 6.35 ERA , allocated 100% as a reliever
Alleghenys: 71 ip, 37 er, 4.69 ERA, 11.3 replacement innings among relievers.
So the Alleghenys are carrying maybe 1.5 extra runs allowed until we fix Graveman.
Canberra: L, 1 – 7. (. 053, .259, .211; 2.3 ip, 1 er). Bad enough: 1 for 19 — although the 1 was a homer, and there were 6 walks. Worse — it’s only 25 plate appearances, so replacements snuck in.
Peshastin: W, 6 – 2. (.302, .388, .442; 5 ip, 0 er).
Flint Hill: L, 2 – 4. (.237, .237, .342; 1.7 ip, 0 er).
Kaline: L, 7 – 12. (.256, .347, .674; 14.0 ip, 14 er).
Cottage: W, 4 – 3. (.222, .263, .528; 2.3 ip, 0 er).
DC: L, 1 – 8. (.222, .263, .444; 4.3 ip, 3 er).
Yes, you’re seeing that right: D.C. and Cottage both went 8 for 36 with two walks. The Cheese just added an extra homer (3) and a triple. I’m a little surprised this doesn’t happen more often.
