Chelsea Thomas is NOT the National Player of the Week. Another pitcher is.

PrintThis is DISRESPECT complete ignorance on the part of the voters/selectors of this award.
Consider the performances of Pitcher A (who won the award this afternoon), who earned her statistics against the likes of Big Ten bottom-dwellers Ohio State and Wisconsin -- they're literally the two worst teams in the B1G -- and Pitcher B, who... did not. (Note: This does not include Pitcher A's save earned against the fastpitch juggernaut that is Indiana State from this week.)
| Pitcher A | Category | Pitcher B |
|---|---|---|
| .407 | Opponents' Winning Pct. | .622 |
| .219 | Opponents' Conf. Winning Pct. | .500 |
| .262 | Opponents' Season Batting Avg. | .289 |
| .151 | Opponents' Batting Avg. last week | .188 |
| ~5.60 | Opp. Hitters' Season K's/7IP | ~5.61 |
| 13.84 | Opp. Hitters' K's/7IP last week | 12.83 |
| 1.67 | Pitcher's ERA last weekend | 0.58 |
As you undoubtedly can figure out, Pitcher A is Indiana's Morgan Melloh - a fine pitcher, just not the nation's best from last week, considering the competition - and Pitcher B is someone with an intense staredown in the direction of the ASA national HQ in Oklahoma City.
UPDATE: The table has been corrected to fix mathematical errors on K/7IP, and also to add in both pitchers' non-conference performances (i.e. every pitch they threw) last week.

It does now.
That actually narrowed the gap, as it improved Melloh’s OppBA and significantly improved her K/7IP with her 2.1IP save vs. Chelsea’s 4IP start.
Also, Pitcher A was the starter for IU when they lost to Oklahoma, 9-0, earlier this season. Just saying…
Eh, to be fair
I don’t think that should really have anything to do with the National Player of the Week.
"People don't kill people. Burning oreo packages kill people."
Yeah, a little annoying especially considering Pitcher A faced Wisconsin (22-17) and Ohio State (10-27) and plays in a weak Big 10 conference (outside of Michigan, obviously). Alas, Thomas has already won the honor once this year and I’m sure the Fairness Police would rather see it go somewhere else (not that that’s been their policy in the past coughDanielleLawriecough).
Yeah, are they just gonna give it to her every week.
Let some other kids share the weekly spotlight, then get on with shoveling Chelsea the year-end hardware.

I use it strictly
in a mocking manner.
Much the same way that Beef insists on using XII despite numerous pleas from Dallas to use 12 for oh, the last 10 years or do. :)
I liked 'do' more
If you don't have time to do it right, when will you have time to do it over?

the URL has CNN in it.
It must be related to CNN. It would be against the law to have that part of the URL and not be legit. The internet police are serious people. I think they’re called “InterPol”.
I will be clicking on this link in 3…..2……1…..
