Well, well, we're through the first quarter of the season and I gotta tell you, it's a great time to be alive.  We got the warm weather coming out, Memorial Day and BBQing around the corner, and it's time for the ballers to establish themselves and announce to the rest of the league that they mean business.  So I'm gonna break down the top 5 hitters and pitchers in the first quarter of the season.

Weymouth
Shaddupu
6-0-0
The Poo have tied their best start of the season with a 6-0 run. Just last season, Weymouth started the first 6 weeks undefeated, with an almost identical overall record (40-15-5). A win versus rival Doggs should cement a new team record of 7 straight to begin the season.

Dublin really doesn't deserve to be the second team on this list....but neither does anyone else. So that one single loss counts for something.

Tijuana

Tijuana sits in the bottom 3 of more than half of the hitting categories in the EHCC, including "leading" the league in lowest batting average. That's going to require a lot of H2H luck each week to be sustainable all season.

Rio shares a top spot in the West with Dublin. At this point, that's like being proud to be sharing a double fudgicle with your German Sheppard. Pretty sure that German Sheppard is getting the whole thing, whether you like it or not.

Vegas is always trying to make that blockbuster move to catch the eye of the league. Losing to Bridgewater is also a good way to catch their eye, so they're

There's something in the water in Bridgewater apparently. After starting off 0-3, they ran off 3 wins in a row, albeit against RAK, SFV, and LV. Hey, wins are wins, even if they happen just to remind us they can.

Was Rakeville's win against San Juan something to build on, or simply false hope? Two weeks against TKO and SFV may help determine that.

Powers' Rankings: Week 5

Dublin refuses to lose, but barely decides to win, Rakeville continues to hit bombs, at the worst possible time, and the battle of the cellar dwellers heats up the rankings (or, that last one was a stretch). Click below for the full rankings heading into Week 5.

Tijuana hasn't had a start to the season better than this since 2005 when they started off 4-0. The last time they started 3-1 was 2014. In both seasons they ended the regular season 10-9-3 overall. Seems like too much of a coincidence to not take seriously.

19 home runs and they still lose R and RBI. With their current strategy, the Rockets can easily win K's each week, but their pitching staff is all but guaranteed to lose the other 4 categories at this rate. Think Thames could pitch too?
