Here's what happened in The Staff League during Week 5!
Max Eddy (12 Years a Save) vs. Ian Post (Ian's Pornogriffey):
While the fleeting dream of the Undefeated season evaporated before my eyes last week, I'm not terribly dismayed by these results. Yes, Sub-Mendoza Line batting averages from six of my regular's helped introduce me to my team's floor this weekend (Hello floor!). Nonetheless the squad continues to perform in the areas I want it too; Offensive counting stats and Ks. Paul Goldschmidt led the offense this week with a 7/22, 3R, 3HR, 7RBI, 1SB. Goldy's been nothing short of spectacular thus far. He's walking more than he's striking out, he's maintaining the speed gains from last year, but more importantly he's hitting balls in the air much harder than last year. He's averaging roughly 95MPH on balls struck between 26°- 39°, up roughly 3MPH from '16. More astounding however is his current 107.6 MPH Average Exit Velocity on balls hit between 19° - 26°. That's up from 95.1 MPH in '16. He's earning his shots big time, and I wouldn't be concerned at all by the threat of a humidor.
