Three and one, thirty-one, the league's favorite count. The default count. Brought to you by your thirty-one Metro Detroit Ford Dealers (think Ford first). The flavors! It's about time it gets to shine off the field, as well. Flavors of the Week spotlights 3 especially noteworthy - for good reasons - players, games, plays, trends, WTF moments or interesting asides from the past week. Plus, 1 more that needs to be called out for being less than ideal.
speaking of tomfoolery, i think we've met out match in the wsem crew - truck
The 3

#Superman
David Castle (KF) blasted out of the gates in Week 1 with 4 HR: 3 of the 3-run variety, 2 of them coming in 1 inning. The fireworks display led him to 10 RBI and a league-best 2.464 OPS. And in case you were worried, he's still on the way to repeating as Great Lakes Stealer: leading WSEM with 2 SB. |
#HaveThreeScoops
The Squirrels and Belgian enjoyed playing so much on Sunday that they decided to turn game 2 into 3 more. Stephen Farkas (BW) and Brandon D'Agnese (FS) locked horns in an 18-inning pitchers duel. 0-0 until the final swing, when rookie Zach Adams hit a 2-run walk-off ding dong daddy. |
#TripleVanilla
Kyle Tomlinson (EL) did the unimaginable Saturday. Taking advantage of the more-than-spacious left field at Jason Matt Memorial, he tied the single season record for triples (3) in a single series! Tripling his career total and tying the all-time record, as well, in the process. |

#RockyRoad
15-1, 11-7, 19-0, 14-3, 16-12... these are football scores. Football scores are embarrassing. 5 of our first 8 games this season were embarrassing. And long. Loooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo-oooooooooooooooooooooooooooooong. |
even tho those scores look like football scores, they are better than what they were in 2011 with Pearson's dominance and yellow bats; 1-0, 1-0, 2-0. 2-1, 1-0.
