Twatter Rankings: Week 1

Coffee Time
by Carl Coffee

1. El Diablos   (2-0, Pow#R: 12.5)  
Even if the Wolfpack were at full strength the 'blos would be 2-0, but their stats wouldn't be slow-pitch softball like.
2. Whiteford Wicked Aces   (0-0), Pow#R: N/A)  
Like the Warriors, they don’t play until Week 3. Not much else to say about the champs right now.
3. Flying Squirrels   (2-0, Pow#R: 5.5)  1
They have some weaknesses and anger issues, but they find ways to win. Could easily be 4-0 after Week 2.
4. King Friday   (1-1, Pow#R: 3.3)  3
Lost a heartbreaker to Linebrink, but still smoked Mundel with only three players. Nicco makes them even more dangerous.
5. Wolfpack   (2-2, Pow#R: -3.1)  3
Very nice two wins over the Balls. They have favorable pitching matchups Week 2 vs. Belgian and won’t face Farkas.
6. Westside Warriors   (0-0, Pow#R: N/A)  1
The Warriors didn't even play and they get a decent ranking. Week 2 is another off week for the black and orange.
7. Belgian Wiffles   (0-2, Pow#R: -5.5)  4
Usually when you score 12 runs in one game, and in the other hold a team scoreless through 17 innings, you will win.
8. Islanders   (1-1, Pow#R: -3.3)  1
All that Mundel hype and he didn't perform in Week 1. Linebrink looked good though. #8 may be low, I am not convinced yet.
9. Holy Balls   (0-2, Pow#R: -6.3)  3
Wolfpack pitching Dancza is almost a throw away game and the Balls didn't capitalize. Not time to freak out yet.
10. Oakland County Onanism   (0-0, Pow#R: N/A)  
I hate putting these guys at #10, but someone has to be here. After this week we finally will know more about them.
What is Pow#R?
The power number rating (Pow#R) is a mathematical formula using a team's weighted wins (wW) -- Σ(# of wins vs. opponent * (1 + opponents wining %)] --, weighted losses (wL) -- Σ(# of losses vs. opponent * (2 - opponents winning %) --, record over the last five (L5) games, and run differential (DIFF) divided by games played (GP). The equation looks like this:    Pow#R = (wW - wL) + (L5) + (DIFF/GP) + STRK
