News Around the League

19 June - Action Boys Show No Mercy in 10-0 Thrashing of Cannibals: 19-year-old Postal Square Action Boys pitcher Sunburst Kozlowski had a strong outing against the Charles View Cannibals at Greenetech Genetics Park today, keeping them off the scoreboard the whole game. He struck out 1 in the 10-0 win and walked 1 while surrendering 3 hits.

"Hopefully there will be plenty more of these in the future for us," he said.

So far this year Kozlowski has compiled a 2-6 record with a 9.29 ERA.

21 June - Season Ends for Frito: The season will end prematurely for Emmett Frito, the Galleria starting pitcher. He suffered a torn rotator cuff on 06/18/2300, an injury that is serious enough to knock him out of action for the rest of the year. Frito was not available for comment.

This year Frito has posted a 1-2 mark in 6 starts and has a 2.09 ERA.

24 June – All-Star Game Rosters:





25 June - Injury Brings Season to End for Knowles: "Not what I wanted to hear," said Postal Square's Mike Knowles to reporters this afternoon, as he revealed that the injury he sustained on 06/21/2300 would force him to miss the rest of the season. "The doctor made it clear," Knowles said. "There's no chance for me -- none at all -- to come back this year. That's the last thing I wanted to hear." Knowles has been out of action since he suffered a torn labrum.

This year Knowles has 12 relief appearances, saving 0. His record is 1-0 with 16 strikeouts in 15.1 innings and a 8.22 ERA.


Players of the Week

Commonwealth Association Picks Top Performer: One of the league's most exciting young players, Hunter Wilde of the Malden Grognaks earned himself Commonwealth Association Player of the Week honors with a standout performance in last week's games.

For the week the 21-year-old first baseman had a lofty .538 average (7-for-13), collecting 2 home runs, 7 RBIs and 3 runs scored.

This year Wilde has socked 25 hits in 92 at-bats for a .272 average with 12 home runs. He is getting on base at a .368 pace and his totals also include 27 RBIs and 17 runs scored.

Siltbean of Fiddler's Green Crowned Best Player: At the age of 30, Jeff Siltbean might have some potential he hasn't realized yet -- if his success at the plate last week is any indication. The Fiddler's Green left fielder put up some exceptional numbers the past seven days with a .588 batting average. For his efforts Siltbean collected the Massachusetts Association Player of the Week Award.

He racked up 10 hits in 17 at-bats, 2 home runs and 7 RBIs last week in 4 games.

20 June - Cave Crickets Caban Calling it Quits: Tony Caban said he's looking forward to getting home to Brooklyn, New York to relax and unwind.

"I'm thankful for my time in Nuka World League, but all good things must come to an end," he said.

20 June - Lurkcakes Stretches Hit String to 20: Random Lurkcakes of the Cherry Ghoulrillas tagged 3 hits in today's 6-1 loss to the Dark Bloodworms at Grandchester Mystery Mansion Park to run his hitting streak to 20 straight games.

"I realize it's unlikely to have a 20-game streak and not have a couple losses mixed in," he said later. "But it still takes the fun out of it."
Random Lurkcakes singled in the 1st, singled in the 3rd, singled in the 6th and flied out in the 8th.

Lurkcakes is hitting at a .394 mark this season. His stats show no home runs, 35 RBIs and 30 runs scored. He has played 57 games for the Ghoulrillas.

21 June - Cave Crickets Chill Harris's Hot Streak: It was the best of both worlds for the Victory Cave Crickets today at John-Caleb Bradberton Honorary Field, as they defeated the Orange Tourists 7-5 and also snapped Die Harris's 23-game hitting streak. The 20-year-old Orange first baseman failed to get a hit in 5 at-bats.

"Nothing personal against Harris, we just wanted to win the game," said Cave Crickets skipper Gogetem Thompson. "We did a great job keeping him off-balance and guessing."

When asked by reporters about his streak coming to an end, Harris frowned and said, "I won't lie and say that I'm not disappointed about it, but I'd feel much better if we had won."

Harris is currently batting .362 with 3 home runs and 32 RBIs.

22 June - #99 by Fireball Puts Name Atop Hit List: After a record-setting game at Star Core Stadium at the Galactic Zone Steve Fireball told reporters, "Wow, 99 is a bunch of hits. This has been a very special season. Who would've thunk it? Can you believe I broke the record of Die Harris?... now he was some kind of hitter." The gifted Dark star hitter is also some kind of hitter, too. Fireball now possesses the league record for hits in a season with 99.

Steve Fireball singled in the 1st.

Presently Fireball is batting .406 with 2 home runs and 20 RBIs. He has played in 55 games and scored 57 times.

23 June - Painted Ghouls Chill Lurkcakes's Hot Streak: It was a doubly miserable day today for Random Lurkcakes of the Cherry Ghoulrillas, as he saw his 21-game hitting streak end and his team lose 9-4 to the Grape Painted Ghouls at King Cola Park at Kiddie Kingdom. The 29-year-old first baseman was held hitless in 4 at-bats by the Painted Ghouls.

"Anyone on a 21-game hitting streak is going to be a tough out," Grape manager Joel Pocketwatch said later. "But we had a plan and we were careful about it, and got it done."

This year Lurkcakes has hit at a .388 clip with 97 hits, no home runs, 35 RBIs and 30 runs scored.

24 June - Season Over for Follett: Clearly dejected, Jeremy Follett left the Grape clubhouse nearly in tears this afternoon. He acknowledged that his season is over after sustaining a torn ulnar collateral ligament in a ballgame recently. It brings an early end to the Grape reliever's season.

A great thing to come home to after work on a Friday, at long last

The focus on the Swatters really hit the spot, even if I'm still ultra-conflicted in liking too many teams as of late. But hey, Oren Gep has something to do with it, of course

This Week in the CBO

by Nat Wright-Kawolski

2 July 2300

News from Around the League

27 June - Horse Homers 3 Times Against The Slog: Sunshine Tidings catcher Darth Horse saw a fantastic day go to waste at ArcJet Systems Stadium today as the Chemists dropped a 9-7 decision despite a trio of home runs from the youngster.

"It seems kinda odd, you know?" a somewhat dejected Horse said after his club's defeat. "I mean, hitting three home runs in one game should be enough to win a game, right? I guess that's why they call it a team sport. Tomorrow I might strike out four times and other guys pick me up and we win. It takes more than one guy to get a win."

The 22-year-old tallied three homers in a 3-for-4 day, and added 6 RBIs and 3 scored.

"That guy really had a game, didn't he?" said The Slog manager Dick Tricky. "Luckily we were able to shut down the rest of the team. We are feeling good about getting out of here with the win."

Darth Horse flied out in the 1st, hit a three-run home run off Gwinnett Southie in the 3rd, hit a solo-shot off Gwinnett Southie in the 5th, hit a two-run home run off Gwinnett Southie in the 6th and walked in the 9th.

This year Horse is batting .224 with 8 home runs and 28 RBIs.

Yao Guai End Schoolboy's Streak: Jeremy Schoolboy of the Atom Cats came up empty at the plate today and went hitless in 4 at-bats for the first time in 21 games. Making matters even worse for the left fielder, Atom dropped the game to the FHE Yao Guai 9-7.

"It was not a good day today," Schoolboy told the press in postgame comments. "We lost the game and the streak is over."

Schoolboy is swinging at a .320 pace on the year with 11 home runs, 46 RBIs and 36 runs scored. He has played in 56 games.

28 June - Trevino Ends Speculation, Will Retire: Sources in Starlight close to Bob Trevino report that the left fielder will retire once the season is over.
Originally an undrafted free agent signing following the 2296 Inaugural Draft, the 38-year-old left fielder has spent his entire career with the Starlight franchise. He has only appeared in 65 games total with the Lady Killers, with most of those appearances in 2296 and 2297. He has a .268 career batting average in the CBO with one home run and four RBI.
He has spent most of 2298-2300 seasons with the Mystic Pines Raybathers. There he has a .294 average with 37 home runs and 151 RBI.

29 June - Drinkwater Packs a Wallop -- Hits 3 HR Against Adamantium: Fans seated in the bleacher section at Tato Field were taking cover all day long as Brian Drinkwater zeroed in on them, rattling three long blasts off the seats in a display of Herculean power.

The big game from the Concord first baseman helped the Radstags take the victory, 14-0, over the Abernathy Adamantium.

"I told myself not to press on the last one," he told reporters in the postgame press conference. "I knew I couldn't force it -- it has to be a nice easy swing."

For the game, he collected 3 hits in 5 at-bats, drove in 6 and scored 3 runs.

Brian Drinkwater hit a three-run home run off Gary Estate in the 1st, flied out in the 3rd, flied out in the 4th, hit a two-run home run off Kyle Clevinger in the 6th and hit a solo-shot off David Pitones in the 8th.

To date, Drinkwater has collected 58 hits for a .258 average. He has posted 9 home runs, scored 29 runs and driven in 46 runs.

30 June - Season Ends for Goodman: Clearly dejected, Young Goodman left the Roxbury clubhouse nearly in tears this afternoon. He acknowledged that his season is over after sustaining a ruptured achilles tendon in a ballgame recently. It brings an early end to the Roxbury right fielder's season.

On the year Goodman has hit .298 with 6 home runs, 30 RBIs and scored 35 runs.

1 July – All-Star Rosters Named: Please see the July 1 Monthly Report for the All-Star story.

Early Season End for Mardis: Clearly dejected, Greg Mardis left the Lexington clubhouse nearly in tears this afternoon. He acknowledged that his season is over after sustaining a damaged elbow ligament in a ballgame recently. It brings an early end to the Lexington starting pitcher's season.

In 15 starts this year Mardis has recorded a 7-4 record and a 4.23 ERA.

Atom-Warwick Trade: Leggman for Zoom: In a hastily called press conference, Atom announced today a trade with Warwick that will send 28-year-old RHP Chris Leggman to the Mirelurks in exchange for 22-year-old minor league RF Kern Rifleman and 21-year-old RHP Miles Zoom. All players are expected to be in their respective new cities in time for today's games.


This year in 28 relief appearances, Leggman has collected 14 saves while posting an ERA of 6.11 and 18 strikeouts in 28 innings. His totals for the year also include 1 win and 5 losses.

This year Zoom has posted a 3-2 mark in 7 starts and has a 5.75 ERA.

The Concord center fielder wreaked havoc on opposing pitchers last week, pounding them for a .600 average (15-for-25) with no home runs and 3 RBIs on his way to claiming the honor.

This season Aintfull is swinging the bat at a .293 pace. He has hit 1 home run and scored 52 times, while driving in 20. His on-base percentage is .347 and he has played in 65 games.



SCA's #1 Player Named: It's always a thrill for fans of the team and students of the game alike when a superstar in the making shows what he's got. Joe Rathmann, the FHE Yao Guai 21-year-old right fielder, put himself in the spotlight last week making him the clear-cut choice for South Charles Association Player of the Week honors.

He ripped 10 hits in 18 at-bats, compiling a .556 average with 3 home runs and 9 RBIs.

This season Rathmann is hitting at a .405 pace with 16 home runs, 58 RBIs and has scored 58 times. Rathmann is the favorite to win the SCA’s Nuka-Hitter Award.

Analysis

Goodneighbor and Nordhagen Beach remained at #1 and #2, respectively, in the Week 13 Power Rankings. The Hancocks went 3-2 with a split in the battle of first-place teams in the South Charles Association. Vault 81 (#7) got one of their two wins on the week against Goodneighbor. In the weekend series, the Hancocks won two of three over Atom (#21), dropping the Sunday game after winning thee straight. The Party Boys were also 3-2 on the week, splitting a series at Abernathy (#18) and then winning two of three at Finch Farm (#23). The series against the Four Leafs was a pitcher’s duel throughout, with Nordhagen Beach outscoring Finch Farm 7-5 in the three games.

Concord jumped up six spots to #3 following a 5-0 week, putting them two games behind Fort Hagen (#4) in the Institute League. Led by NCA Player of the Week Pockets Aintfull, the Stags swept both Finch Farm and Abernathy in a week when the Party Boys could sweep neither.

Quincy rounds out the Top 5, also jumping up six spots this week despite only having a 3-2 week. The Gunners swept two games at Roxbury (#22) before only winning the Sunday game at University Point (#15). At 36-29, Quincy currently holds the #3 spot in the SCA playoff chase, leading both Diamond City (#10) and FHE (#8) by a game.

Heading into the All-Star Break, NCA June Player of the Month (spoilers!) Ben Pawlak of Fort Hagen appears to be in the lead for the Nuka-Hitter Award and is a legitimate CBO MVP candidate. Pawlak leads the NCA in multiple offensive categories, including Slugging (.663), OPS (1.086), WAR (5.1), Runs (57), Total Bases (169), Extra-base Hits (45), OPS+ (173), and WOBA (.455). He’s also in the Top 5 in Batting Average (.349), Home Runs (16), RBI (55), OBP (.423), and ISO (.314).

The SCA’s Nuka-Hitter leader is Joe Rathmann of FHE thanks to his CBO-leading .405 batting average through 65 games. Rathmann also leads the SCA in OBP (.540), OPS (1.227), WAR (5.8), Stolen Bases (24), Walks (69), OPS+ (211), WPA (5.15), and WOBA (.506). Rathmann is also in the Top 5 in RBI (58), Slugging% (.687), Hits (92), Runs (58), Total Bases (156), and CS (7).

For pitching in the NCA, Fort Hagen looks to have double awards leaders in the NCA. Starting pitcher Derek Green has a slight lead over a number of good pitchers throughout the association. Green leads the NCA in wins (10), WAR (4.3), Complete Games (6), Opponents AVG (.204), and Win% (.833), and he is tied with teammate Mike Cartrette for strikeouts (108). He is also in the Top 5 in ERA (2.74), Innings Pitched (124.2), Shutouts (2), K/9 (7.8), WHIP (1.08), FIP (2.84), ERA+ (162), rWAR (4.2), and Quality Starts (12).

In the SCA, we have no idea, but we want to give the All-Star leader for the Vim! Pitcher Award to Roxbury’s Beachboy Nut. He has not separated himself from the pack, but considering that he is 9-4 (tied for 6th in the SCA in wins) on a team that has the SCA’ s worst record at 24-41 with the worst offense and starting pitching in the association, you can see just how good he has been. Nut leads the SCA in ERA (2.47) and ERA+ (178), and he is tied for first with three other players for Quality Starts (12). He is also in the Top 5 in WAR (3.4), Strikeouts (103), WHIP (1.13), rWAR (4.7), and Opponents AVG (.226).

Team Focus: The Slog Ghouls



Ranked #6 in the Week 13 Power Rankings, the 2296 Sole Survivor Series Champions and playoff participants in three of the first four seasons of the CBO are back in the running in 2300. The Slog Ghouls have shown themselves to be a constant threat in the NCA. This season, they currently hold the fifth seed in the playoff race, only a game back of Brotherhood League rival Easy Town for the fourth seed and two games up on another BL rival, Salem, for the last spot.

The Slog has been all about offense in 2300, currently in the Top 5 in almost every offensive category, though 1st in none. They are second in the NCA in runs scored (351), batting average (.286), OPS (.783), wOBA (.336), and Stolen Bases (56). While all of those numbers look great, the more impressive statistic is that they are using a complete team effort to accomplish their stats, making them an extremely dangerous offensive team.

Pitching has been more of a problem, with the Ghouls at 10th in runs against (329) and Starters ERA (5.14). Part of that problem was being without ace Bruce Iddings (4-2, 3.84 ERA in 8 starts) who was out for most of the season. Gwinnett Southie (8-5, 4.15) has picked up much of the slack. Bobby Delaune (6-8, 6.53) seems to be the player struggling most. In the bullpen, their ERA (3.20) is a bit better. Closer Flotsam DiPasquale (17 SV, 3.56) has been OK. Matt Suds (3-0, 1.86) has been the most impressive.

For The Slog to find any playoff success, they will need to stay healthier than they have been. With Iddings and Southie, they have better chances to win games, but they will still probably have to rely on outscoring most opponents. That does not usually equal success in the playoffs when opponents are throwing their best pitchers every game.

I feel like he will be CBO talent, but one of his changeup or splitter (or both) needs a ratings boost! If he meets his potentials, he'll be a damn good CBO pitcher

Oh hey, an award for Paladin Danse. I was actually just thinking about him with the recent updates, and about how he seems to drop in and out of actually mattering, and then I remembered how I'd had this exact same conversation once before and it's actually just me having a blind spot for noticing him doing things. Still, good to see, even if he's got a weird career arc even discounting my musings.

Edit: And for a second there I thought that was Oren Gep there with the best WAR in the SCA, right up until the last name on the list. Don't think I've ever mentioned it but I'm someone who tunnel-visions on WAR as a metric

Danse is not having a bad year, so he is All Star worthy, and statistically looks to be the best overall hitting LF. However, there is someone missing who arguably is having a better overall year: Joe "Whiskey" Hagen (.304/12/39/2.2 WAR) of Warwick. Hagen should be on the roster over Cornseed, for sure.

WAR is a nice easy stat to focus in on because it seems to give a complete picture. I value it more for hitters than pitchers. I don't know how OOTP calculates its WAR exactly because pitcher WARs are non-logical. A pitcher with a 7-5, 4.32 ERA can have a better WAR than a pitcher with a 10-1, 2.56 ERA, and I just do not see how that could ever be possible.

Case in point, the current SCA WAR leader is Bow Rome (8-6, 4.38) with a 4.2. The wins leader, Chris Deathclaw (11-5, 2.83), has a 1.8 WAR.

Yeah, while you've been away there's been a few threads (in general chat) talking about how pitcher evaluations might not be very good, and it matches with personal experience. In my "for fun" save I had a young pitcher win a triple crown, have a 20 win season, have a perfect game, and not even come close in any award voting. He's never had a season quite that good again (it was his rookie year, and he didn't even get close to a rookie award!) but he's been consistently good, and his only ever honor is making the all-star game. He's won bumpkis otherwise. I guess maybe it's because he plays for Atlanta and the team overall sucks on that save file

Boston Youth Series



Game 1 Summary:

Team Power Rankings



Analysis

Fort Hagen leapfrogged to the #1 spot, pushing Goodneighbor and Nordhagne Beach down a spot. FHE and Jamaica Plain also jumped into the Top 5.

The Silver Shroud definitely had the best weekend this All-Star week, sweeping their league rivals, the Concord Radstags (#9) to extend their lead to five games with 40 to play. Fort Hagen held the Stags to just three runs in a pitcher-dominated weekend.

Goodneighbor (#2) also played their league's #2 team, beating the Quincy Gunners (#11) 2 out of 3 to move out to a 7-game lead in the Minutemen League.

The Party Boys (#3) barely missed out on sweeping Easy Town (#10) in yet another of 1vs2 in this Brotherhood League matchup. Nordhagen Beach now has a five-game lead over the Assaultrons and are tied with Fort Hagen for the NCA's top record.

Like Nordhagen Beach, the Yao Guai (#4) just missed out on sweeping Oberland (#14), dropping the third game by a run. FHE is now just two games back of Vault 81 (#6) in the Railroad League race.

Jamaica Plain (#5) used a sweep of Atom (#22) to jump into a 4-way tie for the 3-5 seeds in the SCA playoffs with Quincy, FHE, and Diamond City (#8).
