VOLUME 1

The Falcons (1-0-1) head into the week of May 10th with only 1 game on their schedule.

Here are some insider tips and insights for the Falcons game against the Rebels.

Key Player to Target:
Barry Thompson
Curtis� Red-Legged Dad has a phenomenal .833 OBP over the past 2 seasons against Rebels. He has reached base in 20 of 24 plate appearances with 16 RBI.
Also worth noting that Barry had the second best OBP of all Falcons during 8:00pm games in 2014. His 8:00 pm OBP of .745 was second only to DC (8:00pm OBP of .815).


Other Players to Consider:
Doug Short (aka Lines, aka G3, aka Dougothy, aka, Lacey) has a career OBP of .696 against the Rebels with 9 RBI. In 2014, Doug was the 5th best Falcon batter during 8:00pm games with an OBP of .697.

Mikey Z (aka Our Only Friend, aka Bash Bro #2) has a career .692 OBP against the Rebels with 11 RBI in 13 plate appearances. The risk is the fact that Z didn�t deliver his usual outstanding numbers in 8 pm games. Here are his splits from last season:
5:00/6:30 games (22 PA) - .727 OBP, 5 HR, 18 RBI
8:00 games (31 PA)- .548 OBP, 4 HR, 16 RBI
9:30 games (27 PA) - .852 OBP, 7 HR, 29 RBI

FALCONS FANTASY SLO-PITCH GENERAL NOTES:

Another Cold Spring?
May was the only month in 2014 where the Falcons had a team OBP below .600. Through 2 games in 2015 the Falcons have an OBP of .583.

Home Run Nonsense
With 5 Home Runs in 2 games, the Falcons are on pace to hit 95 Home Runs. That would be 20 less than they hit last year and �under� the Vegas line of 104 Falcons Home Runs for the 2015 season.

Only 1 Home Run �Out� has been recorded by the Falcons this season. The Vegas line for the number of Home Run Outs recorded by the Falcons this season was 14.5.
