From the commissioner
Week 4 is certified final. The scores below come from the league record; the conclusions are ours to live with.
The week in one breath
Gulf Coast Grit separated from the field with the week’s top score, Bonita stole the closest matchup, and Mangrove delivered the largest margin. Meanwhile, Bench Mob discovered that roster depth is only helpful when some of it reaches the lineup.
Matchup files
Gulf Coast Grit turned a projected coin flip into a 26.72-point statement and left Corkscrew with its first loss.
Bonita survived a fourth-quarter swing by 1.66 points, the sort of margin that turns every early lineup choice into courtroom evidence.
Mangrove posted 136.26 and won by 34.42, the week’s most complete dismantling.
The Waiver Pirates found 109.64 points and their first win while Sunday Scaries fell below projection again.
Pine Island remains winless, but at least escaped the basement score. Bench Mob’s 47.9 bench points will be remembered longer than this result.
