Old Man's E Spring States Predictions


Round 1

Detroit Riot vs Motor City Cocks/ Biggs Bar
They could have played this one on a week night at Total Sports. Cocks don’t have an online roster, but I have a pretty good idea of who they have. They should win this game.

Winner: Motor City Cocks/ Biggs Bar

Rock Bottom vs Avenue/ Jamboozies Softball

Rock Bottom has played a few tournaments already this year, so I give them a slight edge in this game.

Winner: Rock Bottom

Represent/ Big Gamers/ Defenders vs Detroit Badlands

Big Gamers have been around for a few years now. They have added some good players this year and should have more than enough to roll in this game.

Winner: Represent/ Big Gamers/ Defenders

Kings vs MI Assassins/ Lights Out Sports

Kings should win this game easily.

Winner: Kings

Motor City Venom vs S.O.S. Softball

No roster for S.O.S. and a much improved roster for Venom earns them a win here.

Winner: Motor City Venom

Tanel 360/ Vivio’s Pub vs Mushsportz.com

Mushsportz looks to be much improved this year. This should be a close game, but I give the edge to Bum’s boys.

Winner: Mushsportz.com

Team Turmoil vs Motor City S.W.A.T

Turmoil should roll in this game.

Winner: Team Turmoil

Dooley’s/ Pole Position/ LV Financial vs Bright Horizon

Bright Horizon has a good looking team this year, but I think this is a tall order for them right out of the gate.  Dooley’s wins big.

Winner: Dooley’s/ Pole Position/ LV Financial

Detroit Assault vs Irish Swagger/ Worth

Assault is an intriguing team to me, but I don’t know if they will have together enough early to get by this game.

Winner: Irish Swagger/ Worth

Round 2

Detroit Basers vs Motor City Cocks/ Biggs Bar

I don’t know too much about the Basers. They have played a few tournaments already to get them a 1st round bye, but I think the Cocks will be too much for them.

Winner: Motor City Cocks/ Biggs Bar

Rock Bottom Softball vs Trust/ Wicked Sports/ Mario

Not much to say here…. Trust should win this game easily. Only chance Rock Bottom has is if Trust mails it in.

Winner: Trust/ Wicked Sports/ Mario

Motor City Push/ Clark Bldg. Co. vs Represent/ Big Gamers/ Defenders

Battle of two feisty teams here. Could come down who has the hammer.

Winner: Motor City Push/ Clark Bldg. Co.

Kings vs Detroit Syndicate

I’ll take the Kings here.

Winner: Kings

Repo Monkey vs Motor City Venom

I don’t think Venom has improved enough to get by Repo.

Winner: Repo Monkey

Mushsportz.com vs Team Turmoil

I think Turmoil is going to be too much for Mush to handle.

Winner: Team Turmoil

X-Factor/ Taylor Ford vs Dooley’s/ Pole Position/ LV Financial

This will be the best game of this round. Tough early draw for both teams. I think Dooley’s playing a “warm up” game give them the edge in this one.

Winner: Dooley’s/ Pole Position/ LV Financial

Irish Swagger/ Worth vs Trust Sports

I don’t know if the Trust JV squad has enough to get by the Irish. Bobby Greene will keep them in the game, but I think Irish Swagger wins.

Winner: Irish Swagger/ Worth

Round 3

Motor City Cocks/ Biggs Bar vs Trust/ Wicked Sports/ Mario

I think the Trust boys will be able to handle the Cocks =D (This may never get old) But seriously, Trust should win fairly easily.

Winner: Trust/ Wicked Sports/ Mario

Motor City Push/ Clark Bldg. Co. vs Kings

I think Clark Bldg “pushes” the Kings into the losers bracket here.

Winner: Motor City Push/ Clark Bldg. Co.

Repo Monkey vs Team Turmoil

This will be a close, back & forth game. I give a slight edge to Turmoil, depends on who has the last at bats. Entertaining pitching matchup for sure.

Winner: Team Turmoil

Dooley’s/ Pole Position/ LV Financial vs Irish Swagger/ Worth

I say these teams should have a drinking contest instead of playing softball. This weekend, I’m taking Dooley’s in both.

Winner: Dooley’s/ Pole Position/ LV Financial

Winners Semi-Final

Trust/ Wicked Sports/ Mario vs Motor City Push/ Clark Bldg. Co.

I hope Push puts up more of a fight than they did in Cincy. 

Winner: Trust/ Wicked Sports/ Mario

Team Turmoil vs Dooley’s/ Pole Position/ LV Financial

This is where Team Turmoil will start to live up to their name. I see Dooley’s dumping them here and rolling into the first of many winners finals with Trust/ Wicked.

Winner: Dooley’s/ Pole Position/ LV Financial

Winners Final

Trust/ Wicked Sports/ Mario vs Dooley’s/ Pole Position/ LV Financial

Well, this is the game everyone wants to see. I have a feeling it will disappoint. While they will battle all year, I think Trust starts the series off with a big win.

Winner: Trust/ Wicked Sports/ Mario

Loser Bracket Round 5

Team Turmoil vs X-Factor/ Taylor Ford

This should be a good game between a lot of guys that know each other. If X Factor doesn’t get too worn out from the run thru the loser bracket, they should come out on top.

Winner: X-Factor/ Taylor Ford

Motor City Push/ Clark Bldg. Co. vs Repo Monkey

Another good pitching matchup with two animated pitcher. I think Repo has too much offense in this game.

Winner: Repo Monkey

Loser Bracket Semi-Final

Repo Monkey vs X-Factor/ Taylor Ford

This would be a better game if X-Factor didn’t have to play so many games to get there. I think they run out of gas here.

Winner: Repo Monkey

Loser Bracket Final

Repo Monkey vs Dooley’s/ Pole Position/ LV Financial

I think the only way Repo wins this game is if Dooley’s has too much to drink in the bar Saturday night. At this point in the season I think Dooley’s is the better team.

Winner: Dooley’s/ Pole Position/ LV Financial

Finals 

Trust/ Wicked Sports/ Mario vs Dooley’s/ Pole Position/ LV Financial

Like I have already said, I have a feeling we will be seeing this match up a lot this year on Sunday. I think it will be a closer game than the first, but no “if game” here either.

Winner: Trust/ Wicked Sports/ Mario

Final Standings
1. Trust/ Wicked Sports/ Mario (5-0)
2. Dooley’s/ Pole Position/ LV Financial (5-2)
3. Repo Monkey (5-2)
4. X-Factor/ Taylor Ford (5-2)
5. Team Turmoil (3-2)
5. Motor City Push/ Clark Bldg Co (2-2)

Good Luck to everyone!

Old Man
