    Excerpt

    Read excerpt

    “He’s not coming out of this game” was the comment from NBC play-by-play announcer Dave Flemming while the broadcast lingered on a shot of Padres Game 1 starter Michael King as he sat in the dugout looking through a notebook during the bottom of the sixth inning. “He’s not reading War and Peace either,” added color commentator Mark Grant. “He’s studying hitters.” But that’s not to say King and the Padres wouldn’t find certain aspects of War and Peace relatable. Speaking in reference to his own w

    Queens Reign Over the Heights and Advance to WPBL Championship Series (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    To the extreme dismay of schoolchildren everywhere, the semifinal series between the Los Angeles Queens and the New York Heights came down to which team was the most thorough in completing its homework. In any league, a playoff series provides the opportunity to devote more dedicated study time to an opponent than is typically afforded by the day-to-day grind of the regular season.

As a reminder, these weekly roundups are designed to run through each week’s action by highlighting the most notable players, moments, and anything else I deem worthy of further commentary.

    WPBL Week Five: The Comeback Qu-Firebells (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone

    Read excerpt

    Welcome to your weekly WPBL recap! Week Five marked the league’s second-to-last week of the regular season, and several teams are using their last few games to test out new defensive alignments and lineup configurations with an eye toward optimizing their strategies before the postseason. Certain tactics were more effective than others, and as such, no team’s performance this week was an unqualified success.
