League News
The August 22nd Red Sox game is out. Click here and fill in your availability for other games if you haven't already. Seems like we all have busy summers and unfortunately it'll prevent us from getting the entire league to one game, but I'm still proposing we go to the game that most of us can go to.
Milestones and Historical Perspective
With nearly half of a season to go we're sure to be looking at a much different playoff picture come September than we are now. But if the season were to end today, the Diamond Dynasty would have three sub-.500 playoff teams for the first time in league history. Tim's .492 winning percentage would be the lowest winning percentage for a #4 seed ever, trailing the .509 marks by two championship campaigns: 2011 Kurt and 2005 Alex.
In other news, Richie (1,296) and Jarrett (1,292) are approaching 1,300 wins and face off this week. Good luck to me.
Hey, look at this!
This is our brand new segment called "Hey, look at this!" where I find mildly interesting stats and present them to you in a way that may or may not mildly interest you.
These are 2015's weekly head to head records to date. Pretty close to the actual standings with six of us either at or 1 +/- our H2H records. If your H2H rank is better than your position in the standings right now, you're bad at winning (5-4 wins) or bad at losing (8-2 losses). Or both.
| Pos | Team | H2H |
| 2 | TJ | 8-1-3 |
| 1 | Colin | 8-2-2 |
| 7 | James | 6-5-1 |
| 6 | Richie | 6-6-0 |
| 4 | Tim | 5-5-2 |
| 3 | Jarrett | 4-4-4 |
| 5 | Kurt | 5-6-1 |
| 8 | Ben | 4-5-3 |
| 9 | Alex | 3-7-2 |
| 10 | Adrian | 1-9-2 |

Shutout Pool
Week 13 pot: $35
No shutouts in week 12. We did have a 9-1 win, Jarrett over Adrian, where Jarrett missed the shutout payday by 3 saves. An argument could have been made for Colin coming the closest though, as his 7-3 victory over Richie saw him lose 9-8 in homers, 34-33 in RBI, and less than half a run in ERA.
