Defenders Schedule

Attached is the schedule for our team. Each team will play all teams two times for a 10 game schedule and playoffs to follow. All teams make the playoffs with top 2 seeds getting first round byes. For those who think we should have more games, you know nothing about the field permit situation in Red Hook or NYC children leaving the city as soon as school lets out at the end of June. The 6 teams in the league this year are all from Brooklyn with 4 of them from Red Hook:

Defenders--actually we are the nick.com defenders since we agreed to a merge for non-nefarious reasons
Heroes-- Hynes' Heroes, named after the brooklyn d.a. (who has never been to a game in 7 years)
Giants--Gibbs' Giants, named after a genuinely good soul who just wants to support the league
Von King--from brownsville, know nothing about them except they sound like a frozen dinner entree
SBYO--from sunset park, won our league last year, have all new kids to defend their title
So. Truck.--Southern Trucking, our arch-rivals, owner is a pure gentleman and yet another good soul who gives a lot (a really lot) of time and support to our league

A quick preseason handicap of the league is: I know nothing about von king's team, sbyo kids are always well-coached and they play together for many years in many leagues, heroes are young and uncertain of their pitching, giants are loaded and have tons of pitching, so. trucking has a lot of kids back, but a huge roster so they are a bit of an unknown at this point, defenders have a lot of kids back, smaller roster and sparse pitching but a couple of potential sluggers. predictions will be made after the first weekend of games, however, expect a pregame update to allow you fans to know the latest practice tidbits and final roster adjustments.
