C Rankings:
With the continue rumor of Line Drive being bumped up to B, I will leave them out of this week’s C Rankings.
1. 1, TG/TPS- Even though the struggled this past weekend, they still finished 3-2 and have been the most consistent team outside of Line Drive in C this year. I am positive they will bounce back nicely in their next tournament.
2. 2. R&L Concrete- Yeah I continue to keep them in the Rankings for Michigan teams, they play a lot of tournaments here in Michigan and have a few Michigan guys on their team as well. They have been one of the hotter teams in C, it will be interesting to see if the time off effects that at all.
3. 3, Korody- Korody keeps getting better every weekend they play and their last tournament they played in they made a very nice run, beating some really good teams in the process, I believe they have taken the next step to really compete in C locally this year.
4. 4. Mayhem- Rough tournament for the Mayhem guys last weekend, but they have shown that they can compete in C, even winning a tournament on the year. Once they get more consistent, which I believe they will, watch out for this team heading into the Big 3.
5. 5. Plumbers- Still have Plumbers in my top 5, they have a very talented roster and can hit with any team in C. Definitely a team nobody should sleep on.
Surprise Team of the Week:
Pure Divine: They had a great tournament this past weekend finishing 4-2 with very impressive wins over GLX and TG this past weekend and both of their losses came to the hands of RAC who ended up winning this past weekend’s tournament. Hopefully they can build on this momentum moving forward and make some noise in the C Division.
D Rankings:
1. 1. Mush Reloaded- They continue to be the top of the D class here in Michigan. They made it to another championship game this past weekend, before getting double dipped by RAC late Saturday Night. This team is just on a whole other level right now than the rest of the D teams.
2. 2. Blue Crush- The 2-5 spot is very wide open, but Blue Crush had a very impressive tournament a couple of weeks back at the D/E NIT. They finished 4-2 in that tournament and all 6 games they played were against D teams that weekend. Their only losses were to Mush Reloaded and Jim’s Beef who finished 1st and 3rd that weekend.
3. 3, Drama- They get a slight edge of DO/Mushtube and Perkins because they beat them the last time they went out and played. This team will only get better as the season goes along, just like they did last year.
4. 4. DO/Mushtube.com- They have struggled in their past two tournaments, but they have been missing some key pieces as well. Mushtube still has a winning record versus D teams on the year and they have beaten Mush Reloaded already on the year, once they find those couple of missing pieces they will be just fine.
5. 5. Perkins- Definitely a veteran group that can hit with anyone and D and as they have shown already on the year beat anyone as well.
Surprise Team of the Week:
Jim’s Beef- This is from a couple of weekend’s ago, but Jim’s Beef who mainly plays NSA definitely surprised some teams that weekend and finished 3rd in the D/E NIT. I would love to see them come out and play more UTrip this year, it will definitely make D more competitive.
E Talk:
Mushsportz: Even though they finished 0-2 this past weekend, you have to be impressed with how Mushsportz has been playing on the year, not only are they beating the teams they are suppose to, but they are upsetting some teams in the process. Definitely a fun team to watch and I think once they get their core guys their consistent instead of plugging in guys here and there it will only make them better.
Kings: A lot of talk about the Kings a couple of weeks ago after they went 0-2 in the D/E, but I think they showed this past weekend when they hit the ball consistently they are a very dangerous team and can compete with anyone in E. Nice Run by the Kings this past weekend.
Dooley’s: You could see it the D/E a couple of weekends ago that they were turning things around and they definitely proved that they are a very legit team this past weekend, by not only winning this past tournament, but pretty much dominating it. Great weekend out of Dooley’s.
Aftermath and X-Factor: These two teams never get the credit that they deserve, but all they do is compete week in and week out and win more games than they lose. Both teams have a core of young talent that they can build on for years to come and X-Factor definitely does have the X-Factor with Chaffin pitching, he keeps you in pretty much every game he pitches. Great weekend by both of these two teams.
