All-Star Break Report 2024

Well, of my three teams I’ve got two playing slightly over their heads and one that’s right where I expected.

The Hammers have been all over the map in Silver 246, with a season that’s included two seven-game losing streaks and a shocking 11-game winning streak. We’ve settled in at 51-46, good for 6^th in our conference but far, far off the Wild Card pace. We’re not making the playoffs but the team’s been a pleasant surprise. Of the new additions, Scherzer’s been fine, Verlander’s been awful, the catchers have stunk, and Walt Masterson has been great in four starts. We get two All-Stars... RP Tom Burgmeier, and Albert Pujols, who I imagine will make this a regular thing. I expect us to flounder a bit in the second half but ultimately we can finish something like 84-78, which would be fine. We’re six games clear for being promoted to Gold, so it looks like that’s happening.

The Warlocks are the team doing almost exactly what I thought they would, which is struggling in Gold 302. We’re just not good enough for Gold right now. We get no All Stars, and what I thought would be the strength of the team, the starting pitching, is 14^th in our conference. Adam Wainright has been particularly awful and I’m not sure I can take him anymore. We’re stuck in no-man’s land right now... not good enough to compete, but not bad enough to get relegated at 43-54. Boring.

The big surprise for me has been the Frogs in Silver 260, where despite a grotesque -36 run differential we actually have the 8^th best record in the league at 55-42. We head to the break on a five-game win streak and are tied for the Wild Card lead. I’m not sure we can keep this up. But for now I’ll take it. We’ve played 32 1-run games and gone 21-11 in those games. I still think this team will be on the outside looking in come Sunday, but whatever.
