We're off and running! While it is really too early to take a meaningful look at the standings, I thought I'd pull out a few tidbits.
Mark's offense has been absolutely dominant so far this season. Chris Davis' historic start is leading the way, but Adam Jones, Jed Lowrie, Nelson Cruz, and Matt Wieters are also having an excellent first week. He is leading in runs, RBI, and average, and is tied for first in home runs. He has three days with 11 or more RBI and four days with two or more home runs. For the entire season, Luke's team has two home runs and 12 RBI for the season.
Andrew's offense is doing all right, despite incredibly low home run totals. He's hit three home runs, but somehow has 33 RBI, good for second. An incredible 90% of his RBI have come from driving in other players; last year I led the way in that stat with 74% of my RBI coming from . On the other end of the spectrum, both Kate (10 HR, 25 RBI) and I (8 HR, 21 RBI) have low RBI totals despite solid power numbers, meaning that 40% and 38% of our RBI totals are from our players driving themselves in via a home run. Last year Kate led in that category, with 29% of her RBI come from her own player's home runs.
On the pitching side, I'm second in ERA despite being solidly last in WHIP. Unsurprisingly, these numbers tend to track one another, as Mark had the biggest differential last year (2 points), so expect my ERA or WHIP to move one way or another.

Yeah, a week 1 like that makes me wish this was a H2H league!
Off to a good start today though, with 2 home runs from Cano and 1 from Hafner.
Yeah, rough start, although I think everyone goes through stretches like that. It being the first week of the season just makes them that much more obvious, though.
All this talk about hitting and no word about my pitching dominance??
