2025-53 Season - 16 days til Playoffs

October 15, 2025

MDTL Managers:

We have a lot of potential over usage or under usage of pitchers. Please check your statbooks and pitching rotations.

This is only 20 games to go and Walthall maintains First place with a lead of 4 games over second place County Roads who has a 12-game lead over third place. Hampton and P-Town who both go 14-7. Port Matilda has the best record of the month at 15-5 and moves up to the playoff bracket. East Coast, the last team in the playoff bracket only has a 1 game lead over Kerry, 4 game lead on West Valley and 5 games on Intercourse and West Valley to make that position still up for grabs. Fargo has the worst record for the month at 4 – 17 and takes over last place.

Walthall, with the top 3 homerun hitters and a 4th one in 7th place leads Savannah by 114 for a total of 330 to 216. Judge alone has 64 and second place Ohtani has 51 who is 8 above teammate O’Neil, Shutting those 3 or 4 if you include Seager down will be a challenge in the playoffs. While Walthall is leading the league with a lot of power, County Road has secured 2nd place with great pitching with two of the top three pitchers in ERA. Which one would you bet on.

Statistics show at this point that 8 teams, if following pitcher rotations in their schedule will violate league rules of either over or under usage of their starters. If games are not yet played be sure to check out the pitcher usage workbook and make sure games available match what you think you have based on J factor. If it doesn’t look correct make sure the correct pitchers were used per instructions, An email will be sent out for those 8 teams to try and fix the problems.

PS - We have a new manager!

Please welcome Chris Lentine to the league taking over the Savannah River (Mark's team) when the season is over. Mark will continue to manage the River Snappers during the playoffs. His bio is below.

Hi everyone,

I was inspired by Jim's bio!

Chris Lentine here, 62, still work (jealous of you retired early guys).

Almost a life-long New Yorker having lived there from 1988 to 2022. Have been on and off in Cape Coral Fla since 2011, becoming FT in 2022.

I have a lofty job title, but it's basically the stats department. I am the Senior Director of Data Operations at MLB, get to watch a lot of baseball all over the world (guess that's why I have not retired).

Obsessed golfer, if the day ends in "y" I am normally playing. Former softball junkie (see attached article) and life-long table-top gamer,

Central Park Press League: The Rise and Fall of Print Media ... on the Softball Field - Sports Illustrated

First mail league was in 1978 when I was 15, won the title that year and I am 0-fer since!

Never married (see obsessions above). My long time GF once complained I played too much golf and softball. I told her "I told you I played a lot". Her response "what you do it NOT play a lot, it's borderline insane". I took that as a compliment. :)

I am in 4 leagues now, love the trades and the draft, love the banter and love the group gatherings.

Really like playing "face-to-face" via rolz when we can both find the time.

Big animal lover, currently have a Chiweenie and 4 Siamese cats, all 2 years old!

New team name TBD, big fan vote going on!

Looking forward to meeting all of your and hopefully being competitive before long.
