Tuesday's results

Day 2 and the Chuggers (Shawn) and Fish (Rick) continue to set the pace. And wouldn't you know it, they're playing each other in the Week 1 head-to-head matchup.

And the big reason of their early success is simple: pitching.

The Chuggers are the one of two FBLG teams who have had all four of their starting pitchers pitch so far. The Chuggers got another solid outing, this time for Wandy Rodriguez. But again, this did not result in a win, so things could be a lot better for them. Still their Fish (Cantu and Bonafacio) are leading the hitting.

The Fish have had three starters pitch so far, but all three have victories. On Tuesday, it was Chris Young putting up a nice 15 points.

The Ventura County Appraisers (Kevin & Dave) also have had four starters pitch. But unlike the Chuggers, the VCAs have received four wins from their starters. On Tuesday, Jair Jurrjens and Kyle Lohse got the job done. Of their 83 points, 56 have come from their starters.

The rest of the league continues to post modest early returns. The Gladstone Goatwhisperers only have 29 points, but they are the only team not to have pitching start yet. The Boondock Saints have 44 points, more than half of which came from Josh Johnson's 23-point outing Tuesday.
