Player of the Week (Su11): Week 4
written by Commissioner Gallaway
James Lenihan led the Canvassers to a 3-0 weekend and the #3 seed in the playoffs. He wins Player of the Week honors for his trouble.
Maybe now he’ll stop bitching that we scored his “inside the park homer” as a double.

Player of the Week (Su11): Week 4 Nominees
written by Commissioner Gallaway
Neal Kovach becomes the second guy this season to toss two perfect games in one day. He came in to save the other team win pushing the Mountaineers into their first post-season. He is also our first nominee with a negative FIP for the week, throwing 14 perfect innings with 23 K’s.
Kovach teammate Andrew Johnson just barely edges out Sam Johnson (no relation?) to earn his second nomination this season as part of the Ha’chi operation.
Nicholas DiCrosta was pretty hung over but he was able to beat other nominee Alex Filides and eliminate NWO, denying them post-season for the first time after two appearances.
Lenihan helped the other 3-0 team on the day as the Canvassers claimed the South and the #3 seed in post-season on his first dinger. He really wanted one of those doubles scored a triple so he could claim the cycle, but alas, he got to third on a throw.

Player of the Week (Su11): Week 2 Nominees
written by Commissioner Gallaway
Two nominations for hitting this week, last week’s winner McNally gets another nod and the Upskirt Fingerblasters cause some problems for teams trying to make the playoffs after Lafler hits four dingers.
For the third week in a row we have three nominees for pitching, but that’s only because two of the four perfect games were thrown by the same guy, Joe Thaman. That same Joe Thaman that broke the consecutive perfect inning streak with 21 and counting.
Dembnicki gets his second nomination with his first perfecto and Alex Filides finally let someone else pitch for NWO, and as a result, Burrell gets a no-no.

Player of the Week (Su11): Week 7 Nominees
written by Commissioner Gallaway
When it rains it pours and we have three more perfect games this week. Including the second in a row for Nicholas DiCrosta, and first time efforts for Anthony Morin and rookie William McNally.
The lack of wind and the long grass continued to slow offense and smal ball is dominating those games that don’t got many, many extra innings.
All of these teams are in contention in large part due to their 2-0 weekends led by these players.

Player of the Week (Su11): Week 6 Nominees
written by Commissioner Gallaway
Three perfect games this week made three of the nominees automatic. It also caused us to have to add pitching stats to the chart (ugh).
Fortunately, no hitters can cry foul since those three pitchers also deserved nominations for their bats as well. You can count them as double nominees if you want.
We also try to avoid multiple nominees from the same team, but it just wasn’t possible. As painful as it is, Joey Davis deserves a chance to get your vote. Sure, Scared Hitless got to stat pad with two games against the garbage of the league Garbage Plates, but that’s what happens sometimes.

Christopher Smyth of the Master Batters won Player of the Week honors for Week 5.
His three homers almost kept the Master Batters from embarrassing themselves. Almost.
169 votes were cast, the biggest tally of the season so far.
It’s the first keychain for Smyth, who will receive the award in a pre-game ceremony if we every play wiffleball again.

Player of the Week (Su11): Week 5 Nominees
written by Commissioner Gallaway
The offense was a little rusty after three weeks off and it didn’t help that for most of the games there wasn’t a bit of wind. Turns out most of the league’s home run power is actualy warning track power when the wind is under 5 MPH blowing directly out.
Greg Hudson and Steven Esperon lock up their second noms this season, becoming the 3rd and 4th players to hog the nominations with 2 out of 3 weeks. Hudson arguably could have been nominated each week, barely losing the nod Week 3 to teammate and eventual winner Alex Cochran. It could be that some of these sophomores can play wiffleball.
Matt Dreyfus returns to the nomination list this week and if he doesn’t win will become the current co-leader in nominations without a win, at 5. Still short of Alex Filides’ record of 8, but not a good crowd to be in.
