Tough to assess what E Lemley's future is with Blaze. She's not seen . . .
. . . the circle in a while and has pitched only 9 innings so far this season. There are six games left on the schedule. GM Dana Sorenson released former Duke star pitcher Jala Wright last week. Lemley is clearly behind Pickens, Ocasio and the veteran Ricketts at this point. Ricketts hasn't been great in relief but can be counted on to throw strikes. The league has done a good job attracting practically all of the better pitchers who have played over the last decade including several returning from the Japanese league. It's a tough situation with only six teams and the concentration of pitching talent.

It's a challenging situation for sure ...
And will get more and more competitive each year as the new class of star college pitchers join the league. Hopefully the league maintains it's current momentum and can add another team or two in the near future?

The league seems to have done well this year. Attendance in most . .
. . . cities is good. The production quality of the games has been excellent. I would think expansion is likely. I'd say Atlanta area is a good possibility as will as DC area and or Philly area. Don't know if the PSL has enough equity to participate in a merger. The AUSL with MLB backing may not need them at all.
