Memorial Day Tournament - Round 3 Preview




A little late for previews, as game time is about an hour away but we will give it a go anyway. Only one game will be played tonight as the winner of the matchup will face Empire in the finals. FlightAL knocked off T.Tech, the best team in the field per RBO Chronicle Power Rankings and Rage upset the second best team, Bombers. The matchup should be interesting. FlightAL clearly seems to have the upper edge, can Rage pull off another upset?


FlightAL vs Rage "Can They Do It Again?"
No. I have FlightAL winning this game rather easily. After analyzing the Rage and Empire game, I came to the conclusion that Rage ran into some incredible luck and timely hitting. These two things are very hard to duplicate. Nataliamo and Busted both had great games, and the way Dr.Death is pitching I am pretty sure the FlightAL ace should be able to control them. Her0 needs to hit the ball hard and the rest of the Rage offense has to put some runs on the board which is very difficult to do off of Dr.Death.

The Rage pitcher, xxSlayerxx, had an amazing game against the Bombers offense. Impressive. Can he repeat it? FlightAL is far more active and more dangerous than FlightNL right now, so their offensive inconsistencies should not be compared. FlightAL has repeatedly scored runs off of difficult pitchers. Zachatack, RBush, and SEC look to continue end Slayer’s streak. Rage made a hell of a run, but I am predicting FlightAL defeats rage rather easily and face off against Empire in the finals tomorrow.


Melky’s Prediction: FlightAL 11, Rage 3
Melky’s Players to Watch: Zachatack, xxSlayerxx
Newbert’s Prediction: FlightAL 30, Rage 0 (I figure I can't go wrong, twice)
Newbert’s Players to Watch: SEC, Her0
