Standings, Leaders, and Awards

The season is in full swing! All of the leagues have started play and across Europe teams are vying for promotion, trying to avoid relegation, or reaching for a coveted spot in the next year’s Champions League.

Standings

Speaking of which, the Champions League group stage has begun! Each team is 4 games into an 18-game run. Here are your group leaders:

A – Bayern (3-1), City (3-1)
B – Inter (4-0), Lille (3-1)
C – United (4-0), Basel (3-1)
D – Real Madrid (4-0), Ajax (2-2)
E – Chelsea (4-0), Valencia (3-1)
F – Dortmund (4-0), Arsenal (2-2)
G – Porto (4-0), Donetsk (2-2)
H – Milan (4-0), Barcelona (4-0)

Around the leagues, competition for Premier League spots is heating up as most leagues are about midway through their seasons. In England, 5 teams are within striking distance of fourth place, while six teams are fighting to avoid relegation. Wigan is ending the month the worst for wear: they’ve lost seven straight to end up 3 points (1 win) above the relegation zone. Southampton in the Championship is looking like a strong contender for promotion, while League One’s Huddersfield continues to dominate the league.

Art imitates life in the Bundesliga. It’s a one horse race for first, Bayern Munich is 27 points (9 wins) in front at the midway mark; the Reds are without a league loss in over a month. Six other teams are in the hunt are in the hunt for the remaining three Champions League places. Competition up and down the German pyramid is tight with numerous teams in contention for promotion and relegation.

In Spain, Real Madrid are cursing with a 15 game win streak while Barca got swept in el Classico, putting them seven games back of los Blancos. The fight for the Champions League is incredibly tight; the distance from 4th place to 12th is only 6 wins. Meanwhile, Racing Santander has slipped my notice with the sob story happening in France, but they are winless in 60 games. Can they achieve perfection?

AB Milan and Roma are pushing towards the Champions League. They’re riding 7 and 6 game winning streaks, respectively. At the bottom of Serie A, five teams are struggling to stay in the league, while Crotone and Torino are making strong pushes for promotion. Landon Donovan’s Stregoni of Benevento are riding a 19-game win streak and trying to get into Serie B.

Ligue 1 is topped by Bordeaux and PSG, but the big news out of France is that the Roses of Thonon got not only their first win but their second too! Thonon held off Valenciennes for a 4-3 win and followed it up eight days later with a 4-2 victory over Sochaux. With 56 games to go, it is not mathematically impossible for Thonon to stay up, but they’d need perhaps the best two-month run in the history of baseball to do it.

The Portuguese season is about a third of the way through and the race for two Champions League spots is tight, with 8 teams in contention. Neymar, down in the Segunda Liga, is beating up on the competition. He’s on pace for 50 HR, 112 RBI, and 133 H in the 84-game season.

Russia’s Premier League has half of its 16 teams in contention for Champions League spot. Zenit is in first, only a game ahead of Grozny. RKC Waalwijk is leading in Holland, 5 games ahead of second place Utrecht. In Belgium, Club Brugge atop a closely packed table, but with only 35 games played, there’s a lot of baseball left. Austria is only three games into its season, Scotland only 10. It’ll be a lightning round in the highlands for those two leagues; their season are only 54 and 66 games long, respectively.

Across Europe the race for the Europa League’s six places is still close, particularly in the North. IFK’s stranglehold on the top spot was finally broken by Astana, who’ve won 8 straight. In the South, Bucharest is still on top. Hapoel Tel Aviv put together a strong month to take the third spot, but 7 other teams are within 6 games of the Red Demons. Galati’s fruitless season in the South continues, they’re 6-88. They’re 25 games back of 25th place with 56 games to go.

Leaders

This month, with all of the seasons underway, I’m going to take a look at overall stats leaders across the world. This is complicated by the differing season lengths, so I’ll give comparative averages where needed.

In league play, Bayern’s Franck Ribery has the HR lead, he has 32 HR in 265 PA in 50 G (1 HR every 8.2 PA). In all competitions, Ronaldo is on top with 46 HR in 364 PA in 75 G (1 HR every 7.9 PA). Other leaders are Zlatan (34 HR in 306 league PA in 60 G, 42 HR in 387 PA in 76 G in all competitions), Rio Ave’s Danny Aguero (21 HR in 183 PA in 35 G), and Cluj’s Antonio Blandon (36 HR in 357 PA in 94 G).

The best slash lines belong to Arjen Robben at Bayern with .519/.592/1.073, Messi with .511/.590/.979, Ronaldo at .507/.587/1.079, and Ajax’s Christian Eriksen at .517/.626/.948.

Hits leaders are Messi, who has 119 H in 289 PA (1/2.5) in the league and 143 H in 342 PA in all competitions (1/2.4). The Eredivisie’s Montae Bassano (Heracles) is putting up Messi numbers through 50 games, 103 H in 245 PA (1/2.4). Robben is in similar territory: 107 H in 255 PA (1/2.4).

Messi and Robben are plating the most RBI in the league. Messi has 112 RBI/289 PA and Robben has 96 RBI/255 PA, that’s 1 RBI in every 2.6 trips to the plate for them both.

The top base stealers are Gerrardo Alvarez (ARG) from Europa North’s Zilina (SVK) with 53, Messi with 55, Nice’s Geoffrey Clerc (FRA) with 57, and Southern League team Famagusta’s (CYP) RF Kerrin Miller (IRL) with 61.

Offensive WAR is topped by Besiktas star Manny Alvarado (10.3), Messi (10.2), Javi (9.3), and Robben (9.1).

On the mound, Lyon’s Hugo Lloris leads Europe with 23 SV. Gigi Buffon (Juventus) has a 0.90 ERA, 187 K in 99.2 IP, 7.9 WAR. The 34 year-old ace is in the last year of his contract at Juve.

Highlights

Chelsea’s Petr Cech threw three 15+ K games in July: 16K against Villa, 18 K in a no-hitter against Wigan, and 15K against Stoke City. Chelsea is holding Liverpool off for first place while maintaining a perfect record in Champions League Group E.

The Premier League had three no-hitters in the month, Cech, Gideon Brown (ENG, Bolton) against QPR, and Rourke Rice (ENG, United) against Galati in the Champions League.

In Ligue 1, Javi had a 32 game hitting streak though 8 July before going hitless against Caen. Eden Hazard picked up a two game suspension for taking part in a brawl against Sochaux.

Portugal’s Braga LF Victor Jimenez has a 35 game hitting streak ongoing, the longest of the year so far across all top tier leagues.

The Americans abroad are hard at work.

Fulham’s Clint Dempsey is .351/.551/.977, 86 H, 13 HR, 47 RBI in league play.

Stu Holden at Bolton Wanderers is .356/.411/.550, 79 H, 9 HR, 35 RBI, but is reportedly “very unhappy” with Bolton, who are last in the league in a relegation dogfight with Norwich, Stoke City, Wigan, QPR, and Swansea.

At Everton, P Tim Howard has a 1.91 ERA, 94.1 IP in 13 G, 85 K, the Toffees are 12th, 6 games behind 10th place Villa.

Way down in Italy’s Lega Pro, Landon Donovan is batting .427/.604/1.018, 97 H, 41 HR, 103 RBI.

Brad Friedel is having a good year at Spurs, 2.35 ERA, 95. IP in 13 G, 76 K. It’s the last year of his contract and we’ll see what the future holds for the 41 year-old veteran.

Next month, it’s more Champions League action and the leagues head down the stretch towards the end of the season in early November and the European Championships in December.
