Week 2 Recap: The Bar is Set

Although I do not have all the stats from last year (only have weeks 1-14), I know for a fact that the record for most HR in a week was 18. That was set by the World Champion L-Trains in their first epic battle with The Dynasty; a matchup which saw the L-Trains set the HR recrod with 18HR and 48RBI and The Dynasty set the RBI record with 15HR and 51RBI. The RBI record is still in tact, but "There's a new home run champion of all-time... and it's [Brian's Fellows]!"

That wasn't the only unofficial record to go down. The Dynasty's 1.29 era has to be a record. In the data that I have, the record was 1.70. As for WHIP, the record is at least 0.85 so that is still in tact. Also noteworthy, The Dynasty is officially the badass of the league- sitting back and watching everyone else add pitchers every week while laughing their way to the ERA record. They have only used 1 add in 2+ weeks. The Dynasty was the big winner in Week 2, beating all other teams and posting a .797 winning percentage.

As for the L-Trains, they are this week's lucky bastard of the week (this will now be a weekly award, we'll call it "The Trolley Dodger Award"): winning 8-4 despite playing without their #2 draft pick, emotional leader, and catalyst all week thanks to an injury that occurred early enough to be before the first game of the week, but late enough that the L-Trains had already burned all of their adds. I feel I still earned this victory since J-Roll's presence would clearly have subtracted 3 runs from my ERA, and added 5 wins, 8 HRs, 20R, and 10 SB - yes he is that good. The L-Trains season thus far can be summed up in this quote from L-Train Ace Jon Lester (the "I" can be interpreted as "[Insert L-Train pitcher here]"):

"Most importantly, I'm letting the team down with how I'm throwing the ball right now. I need to pick it up and kick myself in the [butt]. I don't know what else I need to do, but I'm going to figure it out and everything's going to ride on from there."
