| Mothers' Day Match-up: |
| May 8th | 1 PM | Frenchtown Field |
| No Games |
The only two teams who set something up for this week just played last week! And now the Mattseals and Git r' Done will be finished with their season series for the year! We're rivaling the NHL for shoddy scheduling at this point. C'mon guys, talk to each other, figure things out, set dates, and get the info to us. You don't have to go week by week, either. Set games up as far into the future as you can. Please, make this run smoothly.
This match-up could prove a good one, though. Last week Git r' Done trailed in the third inning in both games against the Mattseals before they were able to string the hits together and win in come back fashion. With that said, do I expect that to happen again? No. Well, half-no: I do expect Git r' Done to walk away with two more wins in their pocket, but I don't expect the Mattseals to make it as close. Last week Git r' Done was saving their best for the DeLoppes and coasting through the Mattseals games. This week they don't need to play with those limitations. Notice that I removed the "Marquis Match-up" tag for this week. I do not see these being exciting games. I see these as filler games on a schedule, but coming at a point where they are all there is to talk about.
Sure, Jeff Biegas leads the league in hits... but he's also played two games more than other teams. So, there's a grain and a half of salt to take with that stat. The fact is that stats that actually tell the tale are bitter. The 'Seals do not have a pitcher on their active roster with an ERA below 9.19, the team batting average is .259, and they have 39 total bases in 6 games, while Git r' Done has 45 in just 4 games. On paper this match-up is one-sided, and on the field with Git r' Done being able to put their best food forward it will be even more lopsided. For a phrase that captures it entirely, I'll quote Kalamazoo Wiffleball League commissioner, Brian Meyers: Those poor Mattseals.
