Horrible Tension Headaches



Final entirely unexpected

Who will win? Good question, the answer must wait for Wednesday (if all goes well) or at least Saturday (if it goes bad, but beautifully in terms of emotions and weather ...). Tonight at the "Jannelli" in Grosseto snap the final 2006 championship between the hosts of Le Colonie di Maremma Grosseto and Telemarket Rimini. A series that promises impronosticabile, despite the budget of the regular season has to smile Maremma, winners in four of six comparisons (for more on the last match, played in just three weeks ago "Jannelli" saw "Pirates" commanding 1 - 0 against Marussich adapted to the mountain - the former Trieste is an extension and had never climbed the mountain this season - and thus qualify for the skin of our teeth to the playoffs). The situation has changed in twenty days. The Grosseto Mauro Mazzotti seems to have found against the Neptune square the circle and the continuity of performance that had been the Achilles heel for the entire year. The Rimini Mike Romano, however, has suddenly become a team. Not that during 2006 it had ever been (at the end of the first round of the Romagna was the first), but the signs have come in the last matches of the season were not encouraging, and even - in his triptych decisive against Grosseto - had almost had the impression that the Rimini hope for a victory to go ahead in Godo vacanza.Il Rimini will have to confirm what showed good against almost ex-champions of Italy Bologna: the mound and attack substantial steamroller (less brilliant defense). The test will appeal against Jaime Navarro returned against nine Bagialemani to 2004 levels. The Puerto Rican is well and its good condition can not be restricted to only two appearances in the playoffs (in which he allowed one point in 18 shooting) against Rimini, Sept. 15, threw nine times, allowing five valid, a base ball and strike out 10 and winning 1-0, the week before against Godo had imposed on the mountain remained 7-0 for 7 shooting (2 good, 1 base and 8 "k"). So, not only launched 18 shots from Navarro in which ha concesso 1 punto, ma ben 34. E il dato non può far piacere al Rimini che prima di sconfiggere in semifinale il Bologna imponendosi in entrambe i match riservati ai lanciatori stranieri, era a secco nelle gare del “venerdì” dal 28 luglio (1-0 contro il San Marino). Da sottolineare, però, come il Grosseto contro Brian Looney (il lanciatore che il Grosseto prenotò nel 2004 prima di optare su Navarro) non ha praticamente visto palla, battendo 3 valide in 9 riprese e realizzando 0 punti.Sabato sarà invece il turno, presumibilmente, di Riccardo De Santis e Sandy Patrone, anche se i due manager potrebbero adottare tattiche e rotazioni diverse a seconda del match di domani. Patrone contro il Bologna ha lanciato molto bene (due partite, two wins, 11.2 shots fired, gave valid 6 and 0 points lost). The Maremma has instead lost the only match of the series against Neptune (5-2), but was not helped by the defense, since cashed in on three points dropped six shots, only 1 was Pgl. Another fact to point out, watching the two pitchers, is that referring to the physical condition. De Santis has launched a single game on Sept. 26, while Patrone has gone up the mountain on two occasions, the last 30 settembre.Per the rest will be obviously important attack and defense. Beyond what happened in the semifinals, it is interesting to analyze the data in the previous six seasons (but has not said that the Rimini another team? Yes, but the statistics - and indeed the previous - in this game count for something ...) So, in the regular season, beat 51 Grosseto valid against 49 of Rimini, while the defenses have been tantamount to committing six errors aside.
