NOTEBOOK Pitching For the record, here is a recap on the rules on pitching eligibility for the playoffs. Roy Hobbs requirement is that all pitchers who will be starters or closers in save situations (3-run or less difference in the 8th and 9th innings) qualify for the playoffs by pitching at least 2 innings – 6 outs or 10 hitters – during pool play. This is a reminder to all managers that all pitching statistics need to be updated through the first 4 games by noon Thursday. Finally, in the playoffs, those “non- qualified” middle-inning pitchers will come to the mound from their normal defensive positions where they started the game. That is as important as the “spirit of the rule” that these non-qualified pitchers who are used as “inning-eaters” are players who ordinarily are playing other positions. photo by Greg Wagner Kent Mudhens right fielder makes an outstanding catch vs. the Fort Myers Brewers see NOTEBOOK on page 7 2 Masters Division Playoff Pairings released at Pincher’s Marina tonight The Friday pairings for the Masters Division AAA, AA and A geographical diversity; and 4) integrating the 4 teams dropping down playoffs will be announced Thursday night at the Pairings Party, from AAAA to the general pool. which will be held at Pincher’s Marina, located near downtown at There is a potential for teams to receive byes in the first round 2360 W First St. All players are invited to attend. of the playoffs, but those byes will go to teams who win their The party will start at 7 p.m., with Pincher’s supplying finger Thursday games.
