2024 Recap

At the All-Star break I said I’d be happy if the Hammers finished 84-78 in Silver 264. We bested that by two games, finishing 86-76, good for 6th in our conference but ultimately more than 20 games off the playoff pace. We had a +27 run differential and will be in Gold next season. The good players (Pujols, Ichiro) did what was expected. The new players acquired from the mid-season pack pulls...

Scherzer – 14-8, 4.00, 1.28 WHIP, 3.2 WAR in 30 starts
Verlander – 7-11, 4.61, 1.30 WHIP, 3.0 WAR in 23 starts
Masterson – 8-4, 3.40, 1.32 WHIP, 0.9 WAR in 14 starts
Pagliaroni - .250/.339/.381 for a .720 OPS in 160 AB
Grandal - .189/.313.300 for a .613 OPS in 180 AB

So... it’s Gold next year and we could really use some solid additions.

The Warlocks totally fell apart in the final two months in Gold 407, finishing 66-96 and just a game out of relegation, which I was actually hoping for as the season wound down. We were not good in any facet but the starting staff was particularly terrible, with Blyleven (5.26), Wainwright (5.11) and Plank (5.11) all struggling mightily. The bullpen, with the likes of Brad Hand, Zac Gallen, Danys Baez, and Alejandro Pena, needs a big upgrade as well. The streak of promotions every week is over, and it deserves to be.

Finally, the Frogs are the team that had the greatest success this season, as they stumbled in September but still finished 89-73, good for the top Wild Card spot in our conference in S260. We finished with the 7th-best overall record in the league despite a -65 run differential. The team we face in the WC game, the New York Mets, finished a game behind us in the division and has an equally poor -56 differential, so we’ll see. The winner gets the Central Mass Smash, which went 122-40 in the league.
