MM-MDTL  since 1973

MDTL Managers:

 

A successful start to a new season gets underway with Culpeper jumping quickly into the lead with a 15-5 record followed by DevLan at 14-6 then P-Town and Fargo at 13-7. Twelve teams go 10-10 or better to make it a great race for playoff spots. Last year’s World Series winner (congratulations Culpeper) is off to a good start to defend his crown. Ohio and Maxton tie for last place at 5-15.

 

Hitting starts out strong this year with 15 players averaging over .300 and 20 hitters with 6 homeruns or more led by Alonso (FP) with 13 on pace for 105 for the year. Alvarez (CR) follows with 9 for 73 for the year Gurriel (FA) 8 and 65, 5 players 7 and 57 and 12 at 6 and 48 make a lot of balls flying out of the park. It will be a very interesting Homerun Derby this year.

 

Pitching is down some with all the hitting but still have 8 pitchers with a 2.0 era or less with Snell (CM) 0.827 and Kershaw (CM) 0.900 under 1. 4 pitchers at 4-0, 8 at 3-0 and 7 at 2-0 starting out followed by 2 at 4-1 and 6 at 3-1 have a lot of pitchers winning games and will be interesting whether hitting or pitching wins out in the long run.
