Turg Explodes, JOBU Implodes, Forgy Soars
What a wild week! We saw performances that defied previous narratives and results that scrambled the standings. Get ready for the breakdown.
MASH Monsters & Top Performers
Leading the charge this week with a truly dominant performance was Ricky Vaughn (Forgy), posting a league-best MASH of 74-29-7! Forgy's pitching was lights out (top 2 in ERA & WHIP).
But the biggest MASH shocker? Staff Infection (Turg) roared back to life with the second-best MASH at 73-30-7!
Not far behind was the ever-steady The Beetle Bunch (Ben), landing third with a MASH of 72-30-8.

Focus on the Wild Swings & Steady Eddies
Turg's Phoenix Act (??)
Is this real life? After weeks dwelling in the Dumpster Fire zone (including Wks 2 & 3), Staff Infection (Turg) didn't just win, he dominated.
A massive 9-1 H2H victory over Doug, powered by the week's #2 MASH. Turg was top-3 across the league in Runs, HR, RBI, AVG, and even Net Wins! This vaults him from near the bottom clear up to 8th place overall.
Is the nightmare finally over for Jer, or is this just a blip before returning to form? Time will tell, but wow!
JOBU's Epic Crash
Remember Week 3 when JOBU posted the #1 MASH? Remember Week 5 when he got a solid H2H win? Forget all that. JOBU (Jordy) completely imploded this week, getting trounced 2-8 by Luke and posting the absolute WORST MASH in the league at a horrifying 20-88-2. Finishing bottom-3 in SEVEN categories is how you plummet from the top tier down to 5th place overall. A truly stunning fall from grace.
Forgy Keeps Soaring
After a strong showing last week, Ricky Vaughn (Forgy) hit another gear. The #1 MASH performance, coupled with a convincing 7-3 win over Ads, solidifies his spot at #3 overall. The pitching continues to be elite, and the bats showed up this week too. Forgy looks like a serious contender.
Beetle Abides
Amidst all the chaos, The Beetle Bunch (Ben) just keeps winning. A solid 6-3-1 victory over Neate, backed by the week's #3 MASH, ensures Ben remains comfortably #1 overall (43-15-2). Consistency wins championships, and Beetle has it in spades.
This Week's Hard Luck Award 😢
This week's award goes to Air Yordan (Garrett). G put up the 4th best MASH this week (a strong 59-47-4), clearly indicating a top-tier performance against the league average. You'd expect that kind of MASH dominance to translate into a comfortable H2H win. Instead, he found himself in a deadlock against BaseOnBalls (Walks) (who had the 8th best MASH). If it means anything, and let's be sure, it doesn't, Garrett did technically win the tie breaker, but those don't really show up in the standings.
This Week's "Got Away With One" Award 🍀
Make it two weeks in a row for Luke (chicksDigtheLongball)! After feasting on Turg last week, Luke got another gift this week, drawing the imploding JOBU. While Luke's MASH was decent (6th, 52-54-4), the massive 8-2 H2H win was largely thanks to JOBU completely forgetting how to play fantasy baseball for seven days. Congrats on climbing to 4th overall, Commish, but maybe send JOBU a thank-you card!
Dumpster Fire of the Week: JOBU's Freefall 🔥
There's no other choice this week. After the dizzying heights of Week 3, JOBU (Jordy) takes the Dumpster Fire crown in Week 6. That 20-88-2 MASH is one of the worst we've seen all year, contributing directly to the 2-8 H2H spanking. It's hard to win when you're near the bottom in almost every single category. A brutal week that saw Jordy tumble down the standings.
Standings Snapshot
After 6 weeks:
- #1: The Beetle Bunch (43-15-2) - Still the benchmark.
- #2: TNTNT (38-20-2) - Holding steady.
- #3: Ricky Vaughn (36-21-3) - Making a push.
- #8: Staff Infection (24-34-2) - Turg escapes the basement!
- #12: Welcome to the Jungle (21-36-3) - Neate takes over the bottom spot.
Week 7 has intrigue at both ends!
First up, we've got a real test for both teams involved: the steady, league-leading The Beetle Bunch (Ben) is set to face the suddenly scorching Staff Infection (Turg). Can Turg possibly replicate his incredible Week 6 performance against the consistently excellent #1 team? Or will Ben cool him off and prove that last week was just a fluke? This matchup could tell us a lot about whether Turg is truly back or just had one good week, and if Beetle's reign has any cracks.
Then, down in the murky depths, get ready for another Toilet Bowl showdown 🚽 Sponsored by American Standard! It's a battle for basement avoidance as Bro Bichette (Zach), currently sitting in 11th place, takes on the new cellar-dweller, Welcome to the Jungle (Neate). After rough starts to the season for both managers, this is a chance to gain some ground (or at least not lose more). Pride is on the line – who wants to escape the basement more?
Good luck, managers! ☘️
