Changing the start day is exactly as routine as you describe. That can be done whenever in any case with the only repercussions of changing where games fall on the calendar.
The ASG is not so simple. There is a break around day 107 with no games, but day 100 has regular games. So an ASG there would not be during a break. What you could do though is manually switch the games during the week where the ASG is now and the week before to where you might want to put it. On the GAME lines simply add 7 or subtract 7 from the # in day="#". I think it would be any games on day #s 99-105 to which you add 7 and day #s 106-112 to which you subtract 7.
Moving around games like that in this particular case would break up the chunk of interdivision games that currently begin immediately after the All-Star break by inserting into it the week of division games that currently precede the All-Star break. That sort of thing will happen with moving games that way. But at least in this case it would not lead to playing the same opponent in consecutive series.
