Week Seven of the 1911 replay is in the books
and the standings look much the same. The better teams in both leagues are
beginning to assert themselves more and as you would expect there is starting
to be some spacing in the standings between the top and bottom teams. Some
teams are proving to be especially hopeless and these teams have begun the
process of shedding poor players in hopes of bringing in players that might be
a little more productive. Standing pat isn’t really going to help them, so
we'll see who is in the wings and if it makes any difference.1911 Washington Senators
Pittsburgh and New York continue to dominate
the NL as they repeatedly thrash anyone who gets in their way. New York (.321)
leads in hitting over Pittsburgh (.295) while the Pirates ERA (2.50) is still
considerably better than the second-place Giants (3.31). Chicago has worked
their way up to third place but is struggling with injuries. Their improved
pitching over recent weeks has been the difference. Brooklyn and Philadelphia
come next as both teams perform erratically, world-beaters one day and then in
the dumps the next day. The final three - St. Louis, Cincinnati, and Boston -
have gone a collective 2-18 versus Pittsburgh and 1-14 versus New York.
In the AL, Philadelphia has had several early-season challengers rise to the top, but they were only temporary as the A's
continue to play the best all-around baseball in the AL. They had another
strong week this past week, although they inexplicably lost both ends of a
doubleheader to the Highlanders in mid-week. Chicago and Boston are fighting it
out for second place, while Cleveland is struggling with injuries to Nap Lajoie
and Joe
Jackson setting them back on their heels. New York has good days and bad
days, while Detroit's pitching struggles have mired them in the second
division. Washington Manager

All teams have reached the 30 games played
mark now, with Cincinnati just getting there three days ago. Most teams will be
at the 40 games played mark by the end of this coming week, especially with
Tuesday being Memorial Day and having a full day of doubleheaders on the
agenda.
