Bottom Bracket Championship game

In our final game of the Spring Season, we have ended up with our two finalists. The two top seeded teams reached the finals. In the first game, the Peloteros had little trouble with the short handed Rancheros and mercyed them 13-0 to advance to the finals.
 In a very much anticipated game, the Calif Angels faced the Tomahawks. Both teams had been very success but the season came down to this showdown. The Angels came out fast and hard. They took out the Tomahawks 18-4. We now have a very good final matchup of the Calif Angels and Peloteros. This game should be very good and will be played on Sunday July 6.

Playoff Predictions


June 9, 2025

Our playoff picture is set. Every playoffs I put up what I think will happen. My predictions are just that. What I think. I always have to say, don't nobody get their feelings hurt. What matters is what happens on the field.

In the Top Bracket
The obvious favorite has to be the Piratas. They have led this division the entire season and honestly they should win but...... I am going to go out on a limb and say Pacific Tires find a way to get past the Motorboaters and then work some magic and defeat the Pirates.
UPDATE:
Pacific Tires defeated the Motorboaters 11-0. I was right.
UPDATE:
I didn't see this coming. Pacific Tires came out swinging. They defeated the Piratas as I had predicated. I was right.

In the Middle Bracket
This division has belong to Mirimire all season. Mirimire has split the season series with both the Perros and the Colts. Mirimire beat up on the rest of the division going 7-1. The favorite has to be Mirimire but to be honest all three teams look awfully similiar. I think these 3 teams are going to have some epic battles but I have to assume that Mirimire some how comes out on top.
UPDATE:
The Colt 45's defeated the Perros to advance to the finals vs. Mirimire. So far so good.
UPDATE:
The Colt 45's battled and defeated Mirimire. I was wrong on this pick.

In the Bottom Bracket
We always seem to have some epic battles in the lower brackets and our share of many upsets. I find this bracket to be the toughest of the 3 to predict. With that said, I have to say this season the two top teams seemed destined to meet in the finals. The interesting part of these match ups are that these teams have NOT faced each other all season. Rancheros vs. Bean Boys and Tomahawks vs. RC Dodgers will get their first look at each other in the playoffs. The Peloteros have beat up a few teams and look like a very strong offensive team. The Angels look a little bit better rounded team. I can't wait.
UPDATE:
I had the Rancheros to advance and they did. Not by much but they advance. So I was right.
In the other bracket we had the Tomahawks destroy the RC Dodgers and again. I was right. So far.
UPDATE:
The two top pics advanced as predicted. I was right on the two finalist.



Colt 45's stun Mirimire 15-9

June 29, 2025

I had Mirimire winning it all but I guess the Colt 45's didn't get the message. While Mirimire kept making silly errors, the Colts just kept pushing. The Colts built an early 7-0 lead but Mirimire made a late run. They score 9 runs in two innings to closed the lead to 12-9 going into the 9th. The Mirmire defense again just failed them. In all my life of playing baseball I have never seen 6 routine errors by outfielders. I am talking routine flyballs that just kept dropping and the Colts used them to secure the big win. A shout out to Colt 45 pitcher Nathan Villegas who pitched a strong 8 innings. He held Mirimire for most of the game. Nathan helped himself with his bat too, hitting two home runs to lead the Colt offense.

2025 Summer season

June 29, 2025

Our first league meeting will be on Tuesday July 8th. Our new season is set to start on Sunday July 13. Any team interested to join us for the Summer season MUST ATTEND to ensure the secure a spot. As always we will have limited on space. I am thinking I can run with about 26 teams. I think as of right now I have like 35 teams interested.
 Existing teams that no longer wish to be a part of our Summer season, please let me now asap. This will give other teams a chance to join us. Teams interested in joining us MUST ATTEND our Tuesday Meeting. As always we will go with first to pay, first to play. Don't get shutout.



Robert's Corner

  Damn it was hot Sunday. I think this is a preview of what to expect this summer season. At least we have made it to the last game of the season but last Sunday we had a couple Championship games. In a somewhat surprise to me, Pacific Tires smashed the Piratas 13-0. I expect Pacific Tires to win but not like that. In the other game, Mirimire played one of the most sloppiest games I have ever seen. They made a shitload of errors and the Colts took advantage. In the lower brackets The Peloteros and Angels showed why they are the top two seeded teams. Now they get to face each other for all the marbles. I expect a very good game next Sunday.
 I know alot of energy is being spent on these playoffs but our opening day is only a couple of weekends away. As always I have gotten alot of calls about new teams. I always get a little nervous around this time. I'm not sure if I can accommodate everyone one. At least at our meeting it will be nice to see everyone. Remember if you have any new rules you would like to propose, make sure to attend and bring it up.
 Other than the last Championship game, there will be no games for July 6.

Rules for the playoffs

Our playoffs start this Sunday. For the teams that this is there first time, there are a few rules that differ from our regular season.

  Teams will continue to play until there is a winner. No ties.

  The Mercy rule is in effect for all playoff games.

Illegal Bats

All -5 bats and up are illegal

 As we navigate through the 2025 baseball season, it’s important for us to stay updated on the latest changes and regulations that impact our game. One significant update was the decision to ban all drop 5 bats. This decision has been followed by most leagues and almost all nearby leagues. For those unfamiliar, the term "drop" in bat specifications refers to the difference between the length and weight of the bat. A drop 5 bat, for example, is five ounces lighter than its length in inches. There are many brands of -5 bats and I have even seen -10 bats but all -5 and up bats regardless of the brand or model are now banned.
  The problem is when big powerful players swing drop 5 bats, the resulting force can be hazardous putting pitchers and infielders are at a higher risk of injury due to the increased exit velocity of balls hit with -5 bats.
  We were one of the last leagues to allow -5 bats. In the past we allowed only B division teams to use these bats because we felt the impact would be very minimal but the time has now come to ban al -5 bats in our league. By banning drop 5 bats and up, we aim to reduce these risks and ensure a safer playing environment for everyone. Player safety will always been a top priority. We fully support and join other leagues decisions to ban drop 5 bats in play.
