- Scotland went from the hottest team in the league to the coldest. Not long after their 10 game win streak, the Rebels rattled off an 8 game losing streak. Losing Daniel Callahan for the year (PCL) won't help right the ship.
- Halifax has shaken off its slow start, and has now padded their lead over Cleveland to 4 games. The Sailors have a ton of injuries, but the pitching has really carried them through the past few weeks.
- Bedford has played much better in the past couple of weeks, thanks to a revived offense and some good starting pitching. They're making Atlanta regret releasing Al Krieger, as the former Flyer is 2-0 with the Crunch and has lowered his ERA to 4.26. Unfortunately, staff ace Ted Striker (7-3, 3.62) is out 2-3 months with a tricep tendon injury.
- Also staging a comeback of sorts is Chiang Mai, who has won 7 of their last 10 games and stands just 2.5 games out of first in the Far East. With Kyoto and Osaka treading water, now is the time for the Kwaan to make their move. Though their starting pitching has been spotty, Chiang Mai has sported one of the better bullpens in the league. Joe Belinda hitting over .400 doesn't hurt either.
- Slowest team in the league? Kyoto by a landslide. The entire team has just 2 triples and 18 stolen bases.
- Here's a stat you don't see every year: Osaka has more HR (119) than doubles (102).
