2023 First Half Report

Haven’t had much time to focus on the game in the past week as other priorities have taken precedence. But as we enter the All-Star break, all three clubs are close to where I thought they’d be in the Monday predictions.

Hammers
I thought this team would be 5th in our Bronze conference and challenge for a playoff spot. At the break we’re 51-44 and a half-game back of the second Wild Card spot. We look like we’ll be promoted back to Silver next season. And no surprise, it’s thanks to the offense. PEAK Albert Pujols has been awesome: .333-19-66 with a .991 OPS. He was joined by Ichiro, Yelich, and Bill Bradley on the All-Star team. Ichiro was POTM in June, and Albert won it in May. Overall we’re third in runs scored. The pitching’s been up and down but the offense has carried us.

We enjoyed a decent run of packs that got one player for the big club, Live Freddie Freeman, and also brought us Live Kirby Yates and Trea Turner, as well as C Andy Semnick (88). We didn’t need those guys so they went up for sale.

Warlocks
This was the team I thought would struggle most this season, and they’ve surprised a bit at 48-48. We’re just a game out of the Wild Card at the break. The offense has scuffled in Silver (10th in the conference) but the pitching’s been good. I’ve done nothing roster-wise since last week, as we are building up PP.

Frogs
I’ve focused all of my attention this week on these guys, completing five live missions and getting ready to knock out five more by the end of the week, while spending zero dollars. I’m logging the cost of all the players I buy for missions to see what the total cost is. The team itself is doing what I thought it might do, leading a division that doesn’t have a dominant team by 4.5 games. We’re 51-45 and heading toward a fourth promotion in four weeks. With the team as is, we won’t make it five for five if we wind up in Silver next week, as we remain very average. The only roster addition has been Al Rosen through the Indians mission, as the other four guys we got from missions have been sold to fund further missions.
