On Batting Stance, Plate Discipline, and Pitch Selection, Part 1
I would like to break from the game recaps for a second, for a theoretical discussion of wiffleball. For today, I will only consider the slider, a pitch with decent velocity and good movement away from a batter. The slider is one of the most common pitches in the PMRNHDWBL, and is used extensively by Malinowski, Roe, Hunter, and Morgan. Several other pitchers sprinkle the slider in occasionally.
Perhaps the most important difference between wiffleball as played in the PMRNHDWBL and hardball is that the wiffleball strike zone stands several feet behind the batter, essentially where a catcher would squat in a hardball game. Therefore, to be a called strike, a wiffleball does not actually have to pass through the strike zone even with the batter. For instance, a wiffleball slider could pass the imaginary hardball plate as a ball on the inside, but then continue its movement away from the batter to catch the inside edge of the wiffleball strike zone. A well placed slider on the inside seemingly extends the strike zone towards the batter.
By the same token, a slider on the outside corner may pass directly over the imaginary hardball plate, but then move away from the outside edge of the wiffleball strike zone to become a ball. This discrepancy seemingly slides the outside edge of the strike zone for a slider back towards the batter. Therefore, the true strike zone on a slider actually stretches from about a foot off the inside edge of the "plate" to right down the middle of the "plate."
"But wait," you say. "I can crush a pitch on the outside half of the plate, and I have no chance to hit a pitch that nearly grazes my belly!" Well, you are correct. What I have just described is really the strike zone on a slider if you take the pitch. From now on, I will describe this as the "take zone." there is another, equally important zone that describes the area in which a batter can make good contact with a pitch. It varies from player to player, but it generally extends somewhat outside a batter's hands to about a bat length outside of this point From now on I will refer to this area as the "hit zone."
Mutch of the pitcher-hitter confrontation in wiffle ball can be explained through the relationship between the take zone and the hit zone. In the next installment of this series on wiffleball theory, I will discuss three different batting stances and strategies used by players in the PMRNHDWBL, and how they affect the hit zone/take zone relationship.

Game Recaps: Competitive Day 2
Now sporting a 2-0 record, The Dave Easley Zach Morgan Project to be Named, Fuckers (project) only had one more team to beat before they could truly be considered favorites to win the PMRNHDWBL. In Competitive Day 2, the Naming Project was scheduled to take on perhaps the most offensively gifted team in the WBL, the Stiff Bats and Hollow Balls.
Stiff and Hollow won the toss and elected to bat last. Matt Hunter took the mound, and immediately fell behind Morgan 3-1, eventually giving up an opposite field flyball double. Hunter then upped his velocity, and struck out Easley on three pitches. With the new-found velocity came a lack of control, as Hunter walked the next two batters on eight straight pitches outside of the zone. He rallied, however, to strike out the next two batters and get out of the inning with a scoreless frame.
In the bottom of the inning, Hunter lead off against Morgan and flew out on the first pitch. Morgan then struck out Squire on three pitches, before walking Hunter on four. Squire then hit a ground ball double, and Hunter also doubled to drive in two runs. Morgan got out of the inning, however, when he made an amazing grab to deny Squire a triple on a hard hit line drive back to the pitcher.
Not to be outdone, Stiff and Hollow replied with an amazing defensive play of their own, when Hunter showed great range in the outfield and laid out to catch a fly ball to opposite field. This play took on extra significance, as Hunter may have injured his throwing shoulder on the play. Next, Squire struck out Easley to put the Naming project firmly in the hole. They responded, however, with a line drive triple by Morgan, a homer by Easley, and another triple by Morgan. Easley then hit a soft grounder, which Squire could not field, to score the third run of the inning and take the lead. Morgan would send a double down the right field line before Squire got Easley to ground back to him again, this time scooping it cleanly to get out of the inning.
The Naming Project entered the bottom of the inning up one, with their ace on the mound, but Stiff and Hard immediately put Dave Easley under pressure. Hunter hit a grounder into left, which Morgan mishandled to allow the runner to advance to third. Squire then singled in the tying run with another grounder into left. Hunter popped out to the pitcher, but Squire and Hunter hit back to back doubles to push the lead back to two. Easley would strike out Squire and walk Hunter before Morgan tracked down a deep fly ball to end the inning.
With a scoreless inning already under his belt, Matt Hunter came out to protect the two run lead full of confidence, despite complaining about pain in his shoulder. He walked Morgan, but grittily stuck out Easley, despite the blood soaking through his sock. The wheel's came off, however, when Morgan doubled, and Easley tripled to tie the game at five. Morgan walked once more, but Easley struck out on a foul tip. Morgan walked for the third time in the inning, causing rumbles to start in the Stiff and Hollow dugout about a pitching change. The injured Hunter grittily/stubbornly refused to be taken out. With the bases loaded, Easley hit a double that scored three runs when Squire misplayed the bounce in the outfield. Morgan blooped a single the other way, and then Hunter badly misplayed a comebacker to the pitcher for an error of his own. Morgan doubled once more, before Easley hit a home run to put Matt Hunter out of his misery with the mercy rule. In this half inning, Morgan was not retired a single time, and Easley provided just enough power with a triple and a homer to put up a 13-5 lead on the still dangerous Stiff Bats and Hollow Balls.
Despite having given up three runs compared to Morgan's two, Easley returned in the bottom of the third inning to protect the eight run lead. This time he was dominant. He struck out Hunter by drilling a ball through the corn toss hole, and then also struck out Squire looking before getting Hunter to ground back to the pitcher to end the game.
With an explosive comeback win against an elite team, The Dave Easley Zach Morgan Project to be Named, Fuckers (project) has made a strong statement over the first two Competitive Days, firmly positioning themselves as front runners in the PMRNHDWBL. It will be interesting to see how Stiff Bats and Hollow Balls handles their bullpen in future high leverage situations.

Game Recaps: Competitive Day 1, Game 2
After making such short work of Wiffle Deez Balls in the season opener, The Dave Easley Zach Morgan Project to be Named, Fuckers (project) was confident, bordering on cocky heading into their second game. Game two wold pit the victorious Naming Project against an already primed (read: drunk) Pitches and Hos.
Fouché lead off in the first against Morgan with a hard hit line drive triple back up the middle. Roe then knocked the first run of the game in with an opposite field double that fell just out of Easley's reach. Morgan pulled himself together and struck out the next two batters looking, but Fouché, in late game form (read: drunk), knocked an 0-1 pitch out of the park. Morgan would allow another single to Roe, and yet another triple to Fouché before getting out of the inning with a strikeout. The preseason favorites looked poised to dominate, with a four run lead already in the books against one of the better pitchers in the league.
In the bottom of the first, Easley lead off against Roe, and was promptly sat down on four pitches. Morgan then coaxed a walk out of a six pitch at bat, and Easley singled to right. Morgan flew out weakly, but Easley mashed a two out triple to get his team on the board. Next, Morgan walked once more to set the table for Easley's first home run of the season. Thoroughly flustered, Roe walked Morgan again before getting Easley to fly out weakly to the pitcher. The first inning ended with the Naming Project up 5-4.
The second inning started withe the Naming Project's fireballer, Easley, on the mound. He struggled to find the zone, walking the first two batters, until he got Fouché to pop up on the infield. The popup fell off of Easley's fingertips for a single. However, he was bailed out when Fouché gave in to his questionable decision making skills (read: he was drunk), and threw the bat at Easley, getting himself called out for batter's interference. Easley walked Roe once more before getting out of the inning with a flyout and a strikeout.
In the bottom of the inning, Fouché had difficulty finding the strike zone at first, and immediately gave up an opposite field double to Morgan in a 3-1 count. Then, a ground ball single by Easley was butchered by both Fouché and Roe for two errors in an incredibly uncoordinated (read: drunk) sequence. By the time a Molina was substituted, Easley had made his way to third. Finally, Good Fouché took over and he closed out the inning only down two with the score at 6-4.
The manager of the Naming Project made a curious decision when he sent Morgan back out for the save, despite Easley's scoreless frame in the second. Both opposing batters immediately doubled off him to shrink the league to one. Morgan rallied, however to strike out both of his next two batters swinging, the latter strikeout coming after falling behind 3-0. Down to their final out, the dreams of drinkers everywhere rested on Ryan Fouché. While you should never drive drunk, the good Doc Fouché took this opportunity to prove that it is in fact a good idea to hit a hanging cutter while under the influence, and deposited one out out of the park. Morgan managed to strike out the next batter he faced, but he left the inning down one run and with a blown save to his name.
Fouché then came on for the save, and got his first two batters before he took his turn to try for the last out. Easley had other plans, however, as he lined an 0-1 pitch so far out of the park that it was figuratively never seen again. A flustered Fouché walked his next batter before the manager called for a pitching change, rather than let Fouché face the powerful Easley once more. Like the true gamer he is, Full Count Roe struck out Easley on a caught third strike in a full count. The game was going to extra innings.
In the top of the fourth, Easley got Fouché to pop out, walked Roe, struck out Fouché, walked Roe again, walked Fouché to load the bases, and then struck out Roe to end the inning. Interestingly, Roe saw 15 pitches in this inning, and did not swing the bat a single time.
In the bottom of the inning, Pitches and Hos decided to play the matchups. Fouché started and struck out Morgan. Then Roe got Easley to hit a catchable fly ball which Fouché clumsily (read: drunkenly) dropped. Fouché then redeemed himself by striking out Morgan again, and then Roe came on to strike out Easley and send the game into the fifth.
To start the inning, the Naming Project stuck doggedly to their policy of rotating pitchers, sending Morgan back out. He immediately gave up a triple and two doubles (two runs) before Easley relieved him and struck out the now tired (read: drunk) side on only 11 pitches.
Now up by two runs, Pitches and Hos attempted once more to close out the game. They elected to again vary their pitchers by matchup. This time, however, Morgan hit a fly ball double off of Fouche's first pitch. Easley followed it with a ground ball single off of Roe, and then Morgan hit a another double off of Fouché that Roe predictable (read: still drunkenly) mishandled to allow the tying run to score from first. Fouché stayed on to face one more batter, and Easley made him pay, with a walk off home run to win the game.
With three home runs and three scoreless innings pitched, Easley announced himself as an MVP candidate. Pitches and Hos reaffirmed themselves as the immensely talented yet ironically flawed contender they were suspected to be. The rematch is excitedly awaited by fans of both teams.

Game Recaps: Competitive Day 1, Game 1
Competitive Day 1 got under way last Friday with a matchup between Wiffle Deez Balls and The Zach Morgan Dave Easley Project to be Named, Fuckers (project). Jamie Elliot lead off the top of the game against Zach "Gaylord" Morgan with an epic 10 pitch at bat. After swinger over the top of a cutter on the first pitch, and then falling behind 0-2, Elliot proceeded to foul off 5 pitches before finally working a leadoff walk. Shiloh Wallace then fought her way to a full count before going down swinging. Morgan then struck out each member of Wiffle Deez Balls (both swinging) on only 7 pitches to retire the side.
In the bottom of the inning against Elliot, Morgan lead off with an opposite field fly ball double, and Easley followed that up with a line drive home run. The Naming Project then doubled and trippled, failing to miss on a single pitch in the zone. At this point, Elliot lost his confidence and his control (the lack of support from his teammate may have been a contributing factor), walking the next 7 batters, after which Easley doubled in the 10th run to mercy rule Elliot out of his misery.
To start the second, Dave Easley got a soft fly out to the pitcher, which he followed up by a strikeout and a soft ground ball to retire the side. At this point, the Naming Project only needed to score four runs to ice the game, and while Wallace showed better raw pitching skills than Elliot had, she never really had a chance given the hole she had been dug. A walk, two doubles, and two triples later, the game was over.

Scouting Report: Wiffle Deez Balls
Wiffle Deez Balls obviously has talent, but their caustic clubhouse situation appears to be severely crippling their ability to produce on the field. A constant presence on the covers of PMRN Help Desk Tabloids, Jamie Elliot and Shiloh Wallace are actually very similar players, with decent fundamental hitting skills (Jamie may have greater power), and changeup reliant pitching. The constant infighting on Wiffle Deez Balls, however, eats away at both payers' concentration and seriously hurts their command.
There are reports that Elliot has altered his training routine, and intends to practice his pitching while listening to a constant loop of Wallace's voice criticising his every move. Whether or not this new approach will improve the production on the field has yet to be seen. What I can say with certainty is that Elliot and Wallace must first neutralize the clubhouse poison if they hope to have any shot of making a run this year.

Scouting Report: The Dave Easley Zach Morgan Project to be Named, Fuckers (project)
The Dave Easley Zach Morgan Project to be Named, Fuckers (project) is a short-notice replacement team created by the the commissioner after the Pabst Pounding Pirates failed to sign their hot young prospect, and then folded for lack of fan support. The team consists of league veteran and Commissioner Level 2 User, Zach Morgan, and foreign born fireballer, Dave Easley. From the looks of things, they may be contenders.
Zach "Gaylord" Morgan is a command and control pitcher who sets hitters up with a slider, and then finishes them off with his signature cutter. The cutter moves very slightly away from a right handed batter, but it also loses velocity at a rate greater than any other pitch currently in play. Interestingly, Morgan is the only pitcher in the league who actually prefers scuffed and/or broken balls (hence the nickname), as the extra drag improves his cutter.
Dave Easley is a change of pace from the Gaylord, as he relies almost exclusively on his fastball. In his short career stateside, Easley has already drawn comparisons to a young Randy Johnson, as his completely over the top delivery gives his fastball a distinctive downward plane. He works the top of the strikezone, at times wildly, but he has the raw stuff to get out of jams. Sources close to Easley claim that he may be attempting to add a sidearm riser to his repertoir. If he succeeds, it would be a formiddable addition to his already tough sinking fastball.
At the plate, The Dave Easley Zach Morgan Project to be Named, Fuckers (project) is just good enough to make their pitching stand up. Easley may have better power, while Morgan's plate discipline is more advanced. Either way, neither batter should be taken for granted.
