Rounding Third

We're now at the three-quarters mark in my latest season of nineteenth-century ball. Offense is still the big theme of the season. Teams are now scoring 4.33 runs per game, down from the 4.96 at the one-quarter mark, but still well above last year's average of 3.55. The Canaries have cooled off after their hot start, but they're still leading the league with 5.00 runs per game -- unfortunately for them, they're also allowing a league-high 4.39 runs per game. The hottest team in the second half has been the Blue Legs, who now sit just a game back of the Birds. It may still be mathematically possible for the Resolutes or Haymakers to reach championship series this year, but I think it's a safe bet to say it will be Blue Legs and Canaries vying for the Season 11 title.
