BNN Weekly Report

This Week in the CBO, BMU, GBRL, and Youth Leagues

by Nat Wright-Kawolski

3 September 2306

CBO Analysis

With 110 games down and 10 to play, here are a few facts about the 2306 season. Four of the ten playoff teams are set, three in the North Charles Association and one in the South Charles Association. We will break down what is needed for each team in the leagues breakdown in these final two weeks to clinch a playoff spot and what seed that team may expect. Another eight teams have been officially eliminated from the playoffs, including Egret, the #4 seed from a season ago that made it to the SCA Championship Series in 2305. Now on to the Top 5 in the Power Rankings.

Sunshine Tidings has taken over the #1 spot in the Power Rankings after going 9-1 in their last 10, including a current winning streak of seven games. The Chemists swept The Slog (#24), won two of three at Bunker Hill (#18), swept the Ghouls again, and then swept Concord (#15) to all but end the Radstags' playoff hopes.

County Crossing is the #2 team thanks to holding a three-game lead for the CBO's best record. The Bloodbugs went 8-2 in their last 10 with a split at the 75ers, a sweep of the Ghouls, a split with the Radstags, and a sweep of Salem (#13) which is ice-cold during a critical portion of the season.

Roxbury rises to #3 after retaking control in the Railroad League thanks to a nine-game winning streak and a 9-1 mark in the past two weeks. The Rad Sox split at Goodneighbor (#23), swept Egret (#16), swept the Hancocks, and then swept FHE (#22).

Easy Town is #4, going 7-3 in their last 10, but still falling three games back of the Bugs. The Assautrons split with Fort Hagen (#12), won two of three over Nordhagen Beach (#11), split at the Silver Shroud, and won all three at The Slog.

University Point rounds out the Top 5 after it extended its Minutemen League lead to three games thanks to a 7-3 mark the past two weeks. The Deathclaws were swept at Vault 81 (#6), swept Jamaica Plain (#9) on the road, split with the Yao Guai, and then swept Quincy (#20).

Brotherhood League

County Crossing and Easy Town are both in the playoffs. With 10 to play, the Bloodbugs and Assaultrons have six left to play against each other, meaning that Easy Town can still control its own destiny for the right to win the Brotherhood League.

The Bugs visit Concord and Easy Town this week and then host Sunshine Tidings and the Assaultrons next week. The Trons' two Institute League series are a host of Starlight and a visit to Lexington.

Salem and Nordhagen Beach are now tied for the 5th spot in the NCA race to the playoffs after the Witch Hats have dropped six straight and went 3-7 the past two weeks. Meanwhile, the Party Boys went 6-4 to pull themselves to two games above .500.

For Salem to make its first playoff appearance in team history, it will need to find the success it had for most of the season. In the last two weeks, the Hats host Lexington and The Slog, giving them a great opportunity to create some distance yet again. In the final week, they visit Bunker Hill and the Boys. The Boys visit Sunshine Tidings and Finch Farm this week, and then visit Starlight and host the Witch Hats in the final week.

Institute League

Sunshine Tidings is the only team in the CBO to have clinched their league, currently holding an 11-game lead over Starlight, which is close to clinching a playoff spot itself with an eight-game lead over both Fort Hagen and Concord.

The only chance for the Shroud, Stags, or 75ers to make the playoffs would be for both the Witch Hats and Party Boys to fall on their faces, while an IL contender wins basically all of their remaining games. We do not expect that to happen, which means . . .

The NCA playoff outlook prediction is this:
1. County Crossing
2. Sunshine Tidings
3. Easy Town
4. Starlight
5. Salem

We are picking the Witch Hats to outlast the Party Boys thanks to a favorable schedule to end the season.

Minutemen League

In the ML, half of the teams are alive, though none have clinched a spot and the other half are officially eliminated from the playoffs. University Point is the CBO's least healthy team. Already down SS Austin Engill, LF Ed Tarberry, and RP James Schwerdtfeger, now RF Tomas Jones is out, possibly for the playoffs, with a fracture in his foot. Still, the defending champions hold a three-game lead over both Spectacle Island and Jamaica Plain for the right to the 2306 ML crown.

Looking at the remaining schedule, the Deathclaws may also have the easiest path. This week, the Claws visit Diamond City and Quincy, and next week they visit Roxbury and then host Goodneighbor.

Spectacle Island and Jamaica Plain will probably prevent each other from winning the ML and are vying for which team is likely to be the #4 or #5 seed in the Play-in Round of the playoffs. The Reapers visit Oberland and Jamaica Plain this week and then host the Swatters and Red Rockets next week. In their two Railroad League matchups, the Rockets host the Sox and visit Vault 81. Based on their schedule, the Rockets had better eke out a couple of series wins to guarantee a playoff spot.

Railroad League

With their nine-game winning streak, the Rad Sox lead the RL by a game over Vault 81, with six head-to-head matchups remaining. Both teams have brutal schedules to finish, but Vault 81's is slightly easier with a matchup against Goodneighbor and then hosting Jamaica Plain. Roxbury visits the Rockets and hosts the Deathclaws in their final two ML series, meaning they are likely playing against three different playoff teams in the final two weeks.

Oberland is also still alive, though the T-51s, which have gone 8-2 the past two weeks, still need to win big and hope either the Reapers or Rockets collapse. The T-51s trail Vault 81 by 10 games, so they can only really hope to earn the #5 spot, in which they trail Spectacle Island and Jamaica Plain by six games. Oberland gets to help their own cause this week when they host the Reapers. They also have a favorable schedule the rest of the way with a trip to Diamond City and then home series against the Gunners and FHE to close out their schedule. We think that the T-51s will win most of those games, but will not be able to close the gap, which means . . .

The SCA playoff outlook prediction is this:
1. University Point
2. Roxbury
3. Vault 81
4. Spectacle Island
5. Jamaica Plain

CBO Standings

CBO Power Rankings

CBO Players of the Week

August 27 - North Charles Association pitchers will attest that it was tough to get Babs Rooth of the County Crossing Bloodbugs out last week. His all-around performance at the plate made him the league's most recent Player of the Week.

The 27-year-old right fielder boasted a .409 average with 4 home runs, 6 RBIs and 7 runs scored. Rooth went 9-for-22 for the week.

So far this season Rooth is batting .336 with 47 home runs.

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. Ken Debate, the Jamaica Plain Red Rockets 21-year-old left 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 8 hits in 20 at-bats, compiling a .400 average with 6 home runs and 12 RBIs.

This season Debate is batting .288 with 118 hits and 38 home runs. He has scored 76 times and has 84 runs batted in.

September 3 - This week's standout performer in the North Charles Association was right fielder Babs Rooth of the County Crossing Bloodbugs, winning his second-straight Player of the Week award to complement his Player of the Month award.

He belted out a .444 average and was voted the Player of the Week. Over the last week Rooth collected 8 hits in 18 at-bats and 3 home runs, drove in 9 runs and scored 4 times.

In his season totals Rooth has 50 home runs and a .340 batting average.

Homestay Lovetap has the tools to stick in this league for many years. The 24-year-old first baseman of the Spectacle Island Reapers had a hot bat in the South Charles Association over the past seven days and won the Player of the Week honors.

Lovetap batted .524 with 11 hits in 21 at-bats, 6 home runs and 15 RBIs.

In this current campaign Lovetap is hitting at a .350 clip with 55 home runs and 134 RBIs.
