RBI Steaks drops out

Sadly, the Steaks were unable to bring a team together for the postseason. Life gets in the way sometimes, be it a honeymoon or an overperforming Little League team. The defending champs will be gone, but not forgotten.

(1) 100% Real Juice vs (4) Sons of Pitches

8/12, 12:30PM

100% Real Juice have their eyes firmly on the throne this season, sweeping pretty much everybody in the league with an overpowering offense, athletic defense, and two staff aces in Aaron Hunter and Epo Olivarez. However, they did drop one fever dream game against Chicken ‘n’ Wiffles. Taking that game as a blueprint, an ideal team has a staff ace, a lights out defense, and an offense that can scratch out a few runs with great baserunning.

While the Sons of Pitches may not have a front line ace, they certainly have all the other attributes. Jonathan Stevens is a huge asset with his all-star defense and speed, while Spencer Minder brings the offense and Alison Ruth provides the steely eyed grit factor. They rode a hot streak against their rivals to reach the playoffs, sweeping aside the Walks and splitting through the Chickens -- they’ve got the athleticism and power to keep on dancing.

Edge goes to the Juice with their dueling aces, but don’t count out the Pitches.

(2) Cannonball Coming vs (3) West Coast Washout

8/12, 3:30PM

The Dads of Cannonball Coming have fought well despite some significant personnel losses the last few weeks. Offensive powerhouse and closer Scott Lewis has retired from the league, and captain Patrick Meagher has been traipsing around Europe. Starting ace Paul Rogers has been an anchor on the defensive side of the ball, but the team has yet to settle on a second starter in Patrick’s absence, though Michael Tarantino has showed promise with his velocity.

West Coast Washout has been hot the last few weeks, with frontline starters Max Melendez and Dan Rish carrying the water. However they have worked hard to develop pitching depth, with captain Jeremy Salvo and others capable of stepping in, which could be a decisive factor in a playoff series. Both offenses have been solid but not incredible this season.

The regular season series was a split, and similarly this playoff series is a toss-up, hinging on the presence of Meagher for Cannonball.
