This is going to be an interesting series, we go into the series beat up. Missing 3 of our starters, the core of our offensive is out. Derek Campbell will be on the roster for the series, but will miss 3 or 4 games. We have removed Javier Uberuaga from the roster and put Mason Foster on the roster giving us another bat.

We are going to rely heavily on our pitching, going with a 4 man rotation. Sweetapple will be getting the ball 1-5 (maybe 4) and 7. The Colonial come into the series hot, taking the final 4 of the Conference Championships and making a September run at the Division title. They have a power-full offense lead by Peter Peters (.332-59-156), a 2-time Silver Slugger winner (this year will be 3) and at 24 is the games premiere hitter.

This should be a fun series hopefully our pitching can keep the #2 ranked Colonials offense at bay.

I was debating putting Pablo Freitas on the playoff roster, but decided against it. He has missed a month and would miss the first 3 games, which would mean we would be 2 players down for the first 3 games. It was a tough call, but our roster would just be too weak. Plus games 3,4 and 5 there will be no DH which means more bench usage... I think I will think about this. Maybe if I drop Elmer Hawkins one of two lefties in the pen, and activate Freitas...

One thing we have going for us is our starters are all HOT.

Game 1 will be starting in a few.
