The Most UPSETTING Team in @MajorLeaguePB!
We were delighted to help engineer it and it was fun to watch and listen to all the speechless commentators along the way 🎙️ 🤭
Nearly notched another one 🙈!
Dark clouds to sun. What a season. What a squad. Same time next year 🤝
Pure insanity from @katefahey6 to SAVE the Shock’s season, forcing a Dreambreaker!
Bonkers stuff from her finishing virtually tied with @federicostak in Player Impact+ in a NeRvY Mixed #2!
Incredible comeback in men’s by @federicostak& @WillHowells_pb putting @the5spickleball on the brink of their first title 🏆 👀
Wow. Women’s Doubs didn’t disappoint here in Finals Match #2!
Back and forth affair with @the5spickleball closing it out 11-9!
ALW saw just TWENTY balls from @stlshockmlp yesterday. How many will she see today?
Dreambreaker goes to @the5spickleball in an InCrEdIbLe opening finals match.
Absolutely gutting loss for the @stlshockmlp after being up 2-0, and leading MOST of the DB, including a Match Point at 20-19 🙈
Can’t wait for tomorrow’s drama 🎭
Introducing our “Top Wings” analysis
It’ll be interesting to see if teams keep targeting opponents’ strengths from today or attack their apparent weaknesses, or if they have the data to know what’s a fluke and what’s not 🤔
So much artistry and deceit involved in winning these singles rallies!
Pillow time! 🛏️. Dreambreaker is next!
@the5spickleball jumped on ‘em early and held off some solid 2nd half play from Gabe & Kate.
Jorja Freaking Johnson with a game-high Player Impact+ (+2.9)!
Not so fast! @the5spickleball stand tall down 0-2 with a BIG win in Mixed #1!
Anyone fancy a Dreambreaker to start the Finals??
Stunning comeback from the @stlshockmlp! @HaydenPatPB & Gabe turned the tide in Central Park 🗽 🌊
High level play from all four men! 👀
WoW @stlshockmlp came to play! Jorja went on the attack vs the iso strategy, starting TEN of the game’s 17 firefights, but only went 3-5-2 (won-lost-reset) on those initiations.
Ignoring Serve/Return, ALW with just TWENTY hits in the short game (18 rallies) — 19.0% of the balls
Rewinding to Men’s earlier this morning, you can see how Alshon was neutralized with @WillHowells_pb in front of him: 4-0-0 on Counters.
Bkln came back due to a sag in Will’s soft stuff, but otherwise @the5spickleball shut ‘em down!
Two “BEST” mens teams go 0-4 in the semis! 🤯
So funny that we got “snowmen” in Men’s again today. Disappointing that it only lasted a few rallies this time.
⛄️ ☃️ ☃️ … perhaps ONE day! 😂
Replying to @statsrealclear
Triple Snowman: Score tied at 8-8 for exactly EIGHT rallies—we only had it for SEVEN rallies thanks to Alshon’s 4th Shot Unforced Error 🤦♀️ 😭
Fives complete the sweep!
🧹 🧹🧹 🧹🧹🧹
@AnnaLeighWaters at the height of her powers in her love Mixed game so far in NYC.
Should’ve been closer if Rachel plays to her normal level, but still likely the same outcome, as usual, with ALW & Alshon heads-up.
TWO would-be comebacks for @brooklynpickleb quelled by @the5spickleball in a sweep today 🧹
Even still, pretty high-level pickleball on display in Central Park 🗽
⛄️ ⛄️ - more on a TRIPLE snowman near miss 👇 (1/2)
Okay. After (narrowly) notching the highest Player Impact+ in Women’s, @katefahey6 was unstoppable in Mixed #2 to put the @stlshockmlp on the brink of their first MLP Season Finals appearance 👏 👏
ELEVEN Rally Wins, ZERO Unforced Errors. Stupendous! 🤯
Interestingly, we feel that if @stlshockmlp had the choice they would’ve picked @DallasFlashPB.
What do you think??
(Amazing that the two teams have NOT played each other all year! Will be intriguing to see!)
Well, @the5spickleball choosing Brooklyn makes sense as the lesser evil—even with a fully-healthy squad.
WD: NJ beats anyone
MD: Dallas 3-0 vs NJ men (pre-Fed)—major concern; Will & Noe beat BKLN at MLP NY!
MIXED: NJ favored vs BOTH, but ALW (+ Leigh) is Alshon’s kryptonite.
