2021 Regular Season Recaps

Frogs – Late Surge Into Sunday

I bring in a starter to replace the surprisingly effective Eric DuBose for the stretch run, and it’s 2001 Randy Wolf (87). Then I add a couple Live guys on the cheap for the bullpen in lefty Brad Hand (79) and righty Emanuel Clase (76).

We enter the day 2.5 games back of the second wild card, with three games against the team we’re chasing, the Hades Heat. We win the three games in advance of that pivotal series, then sweep Hades to go up a game. We keep the streak going as they go into free fall, and with 14 to go we find ourselves 3.5 up.

We pull away thanks to a 14-2 stretch and run away with the last playoff spot thanks to a 21-9 September. This team was the exact opposite of my Warlocks down the stretch, and we’re in the post-season for the second straight year. This was the one team I thought would make the playoffs, and it did. We finish with the 5^th-best record in the 30-team league and a +150 run differential thanks to the 2^nd-best offense overall.

Record: 96-66
Runs Scored/Allowed – 2^nd/4^th (out of 15)

Additions (w/cost in AH):

2B CJ Abrams (5,000) - .377 OBP, 4.0 WAR from the leadoff spot
SP Charlie Morton (1,800) – Struggled early but we won 18 of his 28 starts; 3.0 WAR
SP Eric DuBose (60) – Went 8-2 thanks to offensive support; replaced by Randy Wolf
C Jason Kendall (2,374) – Fantastic; .905 OPS, 3.7 WAR in 70 games
SP Randy Wolf (1,778) – Up and down but won big games down the stretch
MR Brad Hand (555) – 3 baserunners in 8.2 IP; 0.35 WHIP
RP Emmanuel Clase (400) – Just 6 IP; walked 5 guys

Total Spent – 11,967 PP + 1 pack

We’re slowly building while still sitting at $0 actual dollars spent. We’re on the road for the Wild Card Game but I’m generally feeling okay about these guys.
