Maulers Look to Make Big Move Tuesday
The Mission Viejo Maulers enter Tuesday in 12th place but send four starters to the mound with eyes on a big move in the standings. Luis Castillo leads the parade of arms as he will oppose the Cleveland Guardians at home tonight.
Hops Face Tough Offenses
The Meinert Hops are usually thrilled to send Logan Webb and Zac Gallen to the mound, but Tuesday presents a bigger challenge than normal as the duo faces the Dodgers and Yankees respectively. The Hops enter Tuesday in 8th place, just 4.5 points out of the final Wild card spot early in the season.
Fish Look for Jumpstart
The Spokane Fightin' Fish have been the class of the RDBL since 2017 with six cash finishes in seven seasons along with a pair of Regular Season and RDBL Titles. GM Michael Tirabassi finds himself in a different spot to start 2024 as the club enters Tuesday in last place while ranking last in pitching and 13th in hitting. The pitching staff is off to a troublesome start with a 6.02 ERA and 1.61 WHIP, totaling 18.0 points while slashing .233/.305/.323 in the plate.
Change at the Top of the Standings?
The Alamo Short Stacks suffered through a 4-for-43 day at the plate on Monday, opening the door for the top spot in the Standings on Tuesday as the Maltese Falcons and Asti Grape Stompers sit just 14.0 and 17.5 points behind. The rough day at the plate dropped the Stacks team batting average by 30 points.
