Powers' Rankings: Week 13

By: Max Powers, Baseball Tri-Weekly

Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
1	1	2	Weymouth Shaddupu 10-2-0		"That's how you break the RBI record", GM Yukon Cornelius said in an official statement at the conclusion of last week's match up against Quebec City. Consider shots fired. Week 13 Match Up: Tokyo
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
2	2	10	Tijuana Hispanics 5-3-4		Tijuana probably needed just one more day to beat Las Vegas 7-3, instead of tieing 5-5. Alas, the Hispanics failed to take back the west, but they're still the team to beat. (Can anyone believe they are still undefeated in Saves?) Week 13 Match Up: San Juan
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
3	3	4	Quebec City Piglets 5-5-2		Stop me if you've heard this before - Team on the rise, feeling great, comes into Weymouth, just to walk away limping after a hard fought, but ultimatly losing effort asking themselves what else they could have done. Welcome to the club Quebec. Week 13 Match Up: Bridgewater
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
4	4	3	San Juan Guerites 5-5-2		Their pitching needs some motivation, but it's their bats that aren't sustainable. With the exception of SB, San Juan lives in the bottom half of every offensive category through Week 12. They've felt comfortable under Weymouth in the east all season, but now sit just 3 games up on the first playoff outlier spot. Week 13 Match Up: Tijuana
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
5	6	6	Santo Domingo All-Star Factory 5-6-1		Back in the playoff conversation, Santo Domingo hasn't lost since Week 9 and they're 3-1-1 in their last 5. Playing San Fernando should keep them around at least a week longer, but they've lost to them before so who knows. Week 13 Match Up: San Fernando Valley
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
6	7	7	Rio de Janeiro Cristos 4-5-3		Yay, they won again. Unfortunately it was just their 2nd win in their last 8 match ups. Why are they ranked this high? Week 13 Match Up: Rakeville
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
7	8	5	Las Vegas Doggs 4-5-3		Now that Kyle Schwarber is gone, maybe their offense can put things together and stop letting teams put up record breaking weeks. No one was happier than the Doggs to see someone else break the RBI record against anyone else besides themselves. Week 13 Match Up: Dublin
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
8	5	1	Dublin Snake Chasers 5-4-3		Getting rid of the dead weight hasn't helped yet. This pitching staff is full of aces, but the roster as a whole just can't put it together. They've made a total of 19 moves all season (2nd least in the EHCC). Week 13 Match Up: Las Vegas
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
9	11	7	Rakeville Rockets 5-5-2		After their PR team has reached out to Baseball Tri-Weekly multiple times, they've finally convinced me to move Rakeville up in these rankings, begrudgingly. Sure, they're 4-2-1 in their last 7. The team is just too unpredictable to move up any higher, and they know it. Week 13 Match Up: Rio De Janeiro
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
10	9	11	Bridgewater Weasels 5-6-1		Aaron Judge won MVP honors at the EHCC All-Star Extravadongza. Logan Morrison won the EHCC HR Derby. You'd really expect this team to be better, but instead they're 2-3-1 in their last 6. Week 13 Match Up: Quebec City
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
11	10	9	Tokyo Omyoujis 6-5-1		Nothing like a match up against San Fernando Valley to get you motivated once again. Too bad they play Weymouth next week, that should bring them back down to earth quickly enough. Week 13 Match Up: Weymouth
Current Rank	Last Week	Pre Season	Team		Notes
12	12	12	San Fernando Valley Jets 2-10-0		All signs point to the Jets making a deal before the MiDraft, but all other signs point to the Jets continuing to be terrible the rest of the year. They sit 18 games "up" on Rakeville for the worst record and that numbers grows each week. Week 13 Match Up: Santo Domingo
