I tried to set up the league to emulate 80s ball (poorly from my end), so he is a Vince Coleman/Rickey Henderson hybrid of stealing 100+ bases regularly. I missed that once the power game/beefcake league started in the 90s.

Just looked it up: the most stolen bases in the 90s was by Coleman in 1990 (77). That is tied for 77th for the most in a single season.

In the 21st Century, Jose Reyes has the most (78 in 2007).

85-90 Coleman:
110 - 1985 (ROY)
107 - 1986
109 - 1987
81 - 1988
65 - 1989
77 - 1990

80-90 Henderson:
100 - 1980
56 - 1981
130 - 1982
108 - 1983
66 - 1984
80 - 1985
87 - 1986
41 - 1987 (95 gms)
93 - 1988
77 - 1989
65 - 1990

Looking at Babz, he is on pace for 114 SB. If it were still a 130-game season, he would be on pace for 103, which is still 10 better than his record year in 2317. In a MLB season, that would be a steal rate of .704 in a full season (162 gms assumed), which would rate out to 129 steals, one fewer than Henderson had in 1982.

So, the amazing Babz is still not Rickey Henderson at his best good. Crazy!

News from the CBO, Minors, CCBL, and CYL

by Nat Wright-Kawolski

1 July 2320

The July 1 Super Post

CBO Top Performances

Hitting - Alvie Alvintzi was never a star coming out as a 5th-round pick in the 2315 draft out of Brown, but he has been an efficient player in his years leading up to this one. On June 7, the Far Harbor trade acquisition from County Crossing, had a day. In a 12-5 victory for the Fog over Oberland, Alvintzi went 4 for 4 with two home runs, a walk, three runs, and six RBI to lead his team. The six RBI stands as the Far harbor record for now.

Pitching - What happened to the no-hitters? June was a ho-hum pitching month with the best score being an 89, with three players tying for the 19th-highest pitching game score on the season. Spectacle Island's Meribrand Docybuck did it first on June 16 in a won over Vault 81. On June 29, Cambridge's Malik Watts scored an 89 in a win over Far Harbor. Yesterday, Lexington's Deedee Martinson was the third 89 score in a Synths win over Nordhagen Beach. Stats below:

Docybuck - 8.0 IP, 4 HA, 0 R, 15 K (season high Ks in the CBO)
Watts - 9.0 IP, 4 HA, 0 R, 2 BB, 12 K
Martinson - 9.0 IP, 3 HA, 0 R, 1 BB, 9 K

CBO Players of the Month

NCA Hitter - Salem Witch Hats fans believe they've got a talented young star in A'Trey-U Jones.

He did nothing to dissuade that notion in June, as he hit .316 with 13 home runs, 23 RBIs and 16 runs scored.

The end result was the first baseman being named the North Charles Association Batter of the Month.

To date this season, Jones is hitting .250 with 31 home runs.

SCA Hitter - At only 23 years of age, Bix Bimbleman could very well have many more months like this last one during his career.

That would be great news for fans of the Roxbury Rad Sox, as June was one to remember for the right fielder and he has captured the South Charles Association Batter of the Month award.

On the month he hit .319 with 8 home runs, 19 RBIs and 19 runs scored.

This year, Bimbleman has hit at a .288 clip with 49 RBIs, 19 home runs and 43 runs scored.

NCA Pitcher - It was a monstrous June for the North Charles Association Pitcher of the Month award winner, Zachariah Budd of the Starlight Killers. He put up some mighty scary numbers.

Budd recorded 4 wins and no losses in 7 starts. Throwing a total of 54.2 innings, he yielded 34 hits, mowed down 38 on strikes, gave up 15 walks and put up a solid ERA of 1.15 in a stellar month on the mound.

So far this season, Budd has a 9-5 record with a 2.57 ERA.

SCA Pitcher - June's elite pitcher was Lane Phrasemaker of FHE. He silenced South Charles Association hitters the entire month and claimed the Pitcher of the Month award with 4 wins and no losses in 7 starts.

Phrasemaker restricted opposing hitters to a .145 batting average. He rang up 65 strikeouts in 54.1 innings of work, surrendered 16 walks and crafted a 0.66 ERA.

This year, Phrasemaker has compiled a 13-3 mark with a 1.58 ERA.

NCA Rookie - When it came to hitting the baseball, A'Trey-U Jones had few peers in the North Charles Association last month. The gifted first baseman for Salem tagged opposing pitchers for a .316 average and was voted the Rookie of the Month for June.

Included in his stats were 31 hits, 13 homers, 16 runs scored and 23 RBIs.

This year, Jones is hitting .250 with 31 home runs.

SCA Rookie - Charlie Bone made a lot of Cape Cod fans happy this month. He not only put up a fine 2-0 won-lost record, he also was named the Rookie of the Month in the South Charles Association.

In June, he made 0 starts and compiled an impressive 2.57 ERA, allowing teams to hit only .146 against him.

This season, Bone has made 29 relief appearances, saving 15. His record is 3-3 with 49 strikeouts in 34.1 innings and a 3.15 ERA.

NEBL Analysis

NEBL Players of the Month

PL Hitter - Ro Laren, the Nashua right fielder, certainly made a name for himself this past month. He banged out a .435 batting average with 27 hits, 3 home runs, 15 RBIs and scored 16 times.

That kind of hitting earned him the Patriot League Batter of the Month honors for June.

This year, Laren has 7 home runs and a .345 batting average.

YL Hitter - It's perhaps an award he'll win many more times through his career, as at age 22 Fred Chicken has a lot of baseball ahead of him.

But for now the young Fall River Rippers star can enjoy the numbers he put up in June, which have garnered him the nod as the Yankee League Batter of the Month.

His breakout month featured a .398 average with 5 home runs, 20 RBIs and 21 runs scored.

Chicken is hitting .308 in 2320 with 36 RBIs and 10 home runs.

PL Pitcher - Last month was a very successful month for D'Jasper Probincrux III of Fairfield. So successful that he has been honored as the Pitcher of the Month in the Patriot League.

Probincrux III shut down league hitters in fine fashion, rounding out June with an impressive 5-0 mark and 2.23 ERA in 6 starts with 25 strikeouts in 44.1 innings.

Thus far this season, Probincrux III has posted a 9-4 record, started 15 games, struck out 47 batters in 96 innings and compiled a 3.75 ERA.

YL Pitcher - June's best hurler was Callum Metcalfe of Warwick. He overwhelmed YL hitters all month long and captured the Pitcher of the Month award as he collected a 4-1 record in 6 starts.

The 20-year-old Metcalfe added 27 strikeouts in 45.2 innings and 9 walks to his season record and compiled a 0.79 ERA. Other clubs hit .228 against him.

This season, Metcalfe has compiled a 6-4 record with a 2.57 ERA in 11 starts.

MML Analysis

MML Players of the Month

LL Hitter - Even though he is a newcomer to Massachusetts Minor League, Thunder Bassett put up some good numbers in June and earned the LL Batter of the Month award.

He was one of Marlborough's offensive leaders with a .345 average in 24 games. He also racked up 5 home runs, 18 RBIs, and 18 runs scored.

So far this year, Bassett has hit .362 with 6 home runs, 19 RBIs and 21 runs scored.

SL Hitter - Billerica shortstop Kane Krant certainly turned heads in June with some impressive numbers. He batted .342 for the month and was voted the Stars League Batter of the Month award.

He banged 9 home runs, collected 22 RBIs, scored 15 times and put up a .395 on-base percentage.

This season, Krant is hitting .318 with 13 home runs.

LL Pitcher - A 3-1 record with a 1.69 ERA is a good month for most any pitcher. The Legends League thought it was worthy of an award and named Abernathy Samuelson, starter for the Woburn Bobbleheads, June's Pitcher of the Month.

He also held the opposition to a .195 average while posting 34 strikeouts in 48 innings.

This year, Samuelson has fashioned a 5-3 mark, 2.87 ERA and pitched 75.1 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .225 against him and he has logged 53 strikeouts.

SL Pitcher - In June, when the name of Grassy Voigt appeared on the Braintree lineup card it was a virtual lock on a victory. He started 5 times and chalked up 4 wins and no losses. With those stats it was also a virtual lock that he would be named the Stars League Pitcher of the Month.

Voigt shackled opposing batters on 28 base hits and a .197 batting average. He rang up 23 strikeouts in 40.1 innings of work, surrendered 7 walks and fashioned a sparkling 2.23 ERA.

This season, Voigt has compiled a 5-7 mark with a 3.15 ERA in 15 starts.

BMU Analysis

So far this season, MacMahon is hitting .366 with 22 home runs, 54 RBIs and 74 runs scored. He has 83 hits in 227 at-bats and a .517 OBP.

For the year, Dobson is hitting .336 with 27 home runs. His stats include 59 RBI and 54 runs scored.

The 20-year-old Wheeler added 37 strikeouts in 33.1 innings and 9 walks to his season record and compiled a 2.16 ERA. Other clubs hit .198 against him.

On the season, Wheeler has a 9-2 record with a 4.38 ERA.

SL Pitcher - In June when Amherst Bashers reliever Derby Howell was beckoned in from the bullpen, it spelled "Relief" with a capital "R." He usually put a very quick end to any budding rallies. For his sensational mound work he was voted the Saviors League Pitcher of the Month.

CYL Awards

NR Hitter - The future looks extremely bright for Olaf Beerson. At the age of 15, many players are still trying to find their way in Commonwealth Youth League.

"I didn't expect to hit .436 this year, that's for sure," the third baseman said.

SR Hitter - At the age of 16, Eher Fogcrawler of the Hartford Battlecats could very well have his best years ahead of him.

His teammates and manager said he had a poised demeanor about him that was typical of someone much older and more experienced. His poise has paid off, as the 16-year-old turned in a sparkling season and has been named the winner of the North Region Shutdown Specialist Award for 2320.

The Mont Vernon, New Hampshire native won the award with no saves in 20 relief appearances, 42 strikeouts in 25.1 innings and a record of 1-1 to go with his 0.36 ERA.

All-Star Break: Cambridge, Diamond City Lead Way

We have made it to the All-Star Break for the 2320 season with the Cambridge Coursers and Diamond City Swatters possessing the top two records in the CBO.

The Coursers have been one of the hottest teams, pushing them past Malden and now up by seven games over them for NCA league leaders. The Grognaks and Atom Cats are equally cold, having gone 2-8 in their last 10 and pushing them both out of #1 seed contention for now. The Cats also are no longer sole leaders in the Minutemen League.

On the race for the #1 pick, the Nuka World Thrills now lead the charge, losing their last 11 to push them to the CBO's worst record. Providence and Far Harbor join the Thrills in teams with fewer than 30 wins entering the All-Star Break.

Here are the current team power rankings for Commonwealth Baseball Organization:

Teams (Total Points, Tendency):
1) Cambridge Coursers (125.2, ++)
2) FHE Yao Guai (124.1, ++)
3) Diamond City Swatters (115.9, -)

30) Providence Super Mutants (59.4, +)
31) Far Harbor Fog (51.9, -)
32) Nuka World Thrills (38.2, -)

Brotherhood League

For awhile, it looked as though the Grognaks would run away with the BL title. Now, after their 2-8 bumbling and fumbling before the break, Malden has to re-strategize. That's because four teams are now within 3.5 games of them, starting at 2 back and in increments of a half-game. Those four teams are Salem, The Slog, Easy Town, and Nahant, in order. County Crossing has been hot at 8-2, tying them with the Coursers and Bunker Hill for the second-best stretch in their last 10. The Bloodbugs are now in 6th at a game under .500. Nordhagen Beach and the Fog round out the final two spots.

The Celtics have never been a successful team from their days on Finch Farm to their home in Nahant. The team has four official trips to the playoffs since 2298 with the last coming as the 5th seed in 2317. We are not so sure they are there yet this season, but at 43-40, the Celtics are in the race. Nahant is tied for 8th in runs scored (336) and 12th in runs allowed (340), so statistically they have a record better than their overall performance. Tommy Tanks (.269/16/44) has appeared to have taken on the role as the team leader, leading in average and RBI and tied for the team lead in home runs with Good Breath Supply and Pip Prowler. On the mound, ace Carter Hall (6-6, 2.73) has enjoyed success after converting from closer (62 saves in the past two seasons). SP Saracen Hottel (7-4, 3.87) has contributed to the pitching efforts.

Institute League

Cambridge has not had the best stretch in their own league, but they have solidified themselves as the best team. On a six-game winning streak, the 75ers are now in 2nd place, six back of the Coursers, followed by Fort Hagen at 7 back. Concord, which had been on a 12-game winning streak before dropping their game yesterday to Lexington, is the hottest team in the NCA, now 9 back. For the teams below .500, Starlight, the Synths, Sunshine Tidings, and Nuka World round out the IL standings.

Lexington has been a playoff team six of the past seven seasons, including last season when they won the IL regular season crown. This season's team does not appear to have what it takes, though. Offense is the biggest reason why, with the Synths 15th in runs scored (276). CF Dude Lebowski (.285/14/44) is the only player standing out on offense for a fully healthy team. Lexington is a bit better off with its pitching, tied for 3rd in runs allowed (301), thanks to the best bullpen ERA (2.66). Saint O'Fender (5-10, 2.85) gets little runs support. 40-year-old Deedee Martinson (9-8, 3.16) is still slinging it. CL Hunter Kim (27 SV, 1.77) is tied with Egret's Pin Tell for the CBO lead in saves. At the current pace of saves, both Kim and Tell would set a new saves record. They would also be on a record pace if the season were still 130 games.

Minutemen League

As mentioned, Atom has been cold and Southie has been hot, leading to the teams tied for 1st, though the Cats have a better winning percentage (.595 vs .593). University Point is the only other ML team above .500 at 43-42. The rest of the ML can start preparing for the 2321 season. In order, they are Jamaica Plain, Goodneighbor, Spectacle Island, and a tie between Quincy and Cape Cod.

Just four years ago, the Granites were champions and back-to-back participants in the Sole Survivor Series in 2316 and 2317. Now, they are in danger of finishing in last place in the ML for the third-straight season despite it being an expansion year. Hitting has been decent with Quincy 5th in runs scored (321). The middle of the order--LF Noah Sandell (.243/16/47), 2B Will Hell (.251/14/45), and C Moon Ducote (.269/12/40)--are powering their offensive push. On the mound, the Granites give up a lot of runs (357 for 14th in the SCA). Ace SP Arcade Anderson (4-14, 3.92) has been frustrated in his second CBO season after being the 2nd overall pick out of Northeastern in 2318. In his last four starts, he has given up six total earned runs, all Quincy losses. Of his four victories, three came when he allowed no earned runs.

Railroad League

The Swatters may have the best record in the SCA at 52-31, but they have the CBO's hottest team on their tails. At 9-1 in their last 10, including a current nine-game winning streak, FHE is now 2.5 back of Diamond City. Egret has been good at 7-3 in their last 10 to sit solidly in 3rd, two up on Oberland and three up on Glowing Sea. Roxbury is three games over .500 for 6th place, followed closely by Vault 81. Providence is 14 games behind the Dwellers and will definitely finish in 8th place.

The defending champions are not out of it, but at this point, the Ninjas will have to win in the same way they did in 2319: as a low seed. Statistically, they are mostly in the top half, at 8th in runs scored (307) and 6th in runs allowed (303). 1B Deez Phantom (.285/14/43) and 3B Shane Powers (.254/20/56) power the offense. On the mound, the top three starters all have ERAs below 4.00: Mike Searocker (9-5, 3.21), Hub Purdue (8-7, 3.11), and Big Dog Monaghan (9-8, 3.23). Tell (27 SV, 1.47), as mentioned in the Lexington feature, is on pace to top the single-season saves record.

CBO Standings

CBO Players of the Week

June 28 - What's in a number? In baseball, just about everything.

The numbers that The Slog's Hammer Longball put up last week were the envy of the league, as Longball came away with North Charles Association Player of the Week honors.

He belted out 9 hits in 21 at-bats, 5 home runs and 8 RBIs last week as he posted his .429 batting average.

Thus far this year, Longball has hit .236 with 18 home runs and 52 RBIs.

His hard work and hustle paid off this week. The hard-working and hard-playing Hugo Steadymaster was rewarded with the South Charles Association Player of the Week honors.

The scrappy Egret Ninjas catcher hit .444 while collecting 8 hits in 18 at-bats, 3 home runs and 7 RBIs.

This year, Steadymaster has hit at a .322 pace and produced 14 RBIs, 5 home runs and scored 13 runs.

July 5 - Paper Mills must have thought he died and went to heaven this week. First he went on a remarkable batting rampage, hammering the ball at a .417 clip, then the Concord shortstop finds out he has been voted the league's top performer and gets the NCA Player of the Week Award.

For the week Mills batted .417 (10-for-24) with 3 home runs and 12 RBIs.

In his season totals Mills has 8 home runs and a .245 batting average.

23-year-old Hunter Lacoste sent shock waves through Commonwealth Baseball Organization last week with an eye-popping performance that brought him the South Charles Association Player of the Week Award.

A newcomer to the league, Lacoste made the establishment sit up and take notice, punishing opposing pitchers with a .560 average, 14 hits in 25 at-bats, 1 home run and 4 runs batted in.

Where the Providence Super Mutants first baseman goes from here, only the baseball gods know for sure, but Lacoste certainly made his mark last week.

This season, Lacoste is swinging the bat at a .268 rate with 71 hits in 265 at-bats. To date he has hit 7 home runs, scored 31 runs and driven in 24.

CBO Noteworthy News

June 22 - With the mid-season mark upon us, now is a great time to update the pre-season BNN Top 100 Prospect list with what we have learned to this point. This year, 20 year-old RF Shalvey O'Doherty of the Sunshine Tidings Chemists is the #1 prospect overall.

Here is the top 10:
1) RF Shalvey O'Doherty, 20, Sunshine Tidings Chemists
2) LHP Eye Anson, 22, Nordhagen Beach Party Boys
3) RF Aesop Hayjen, 18, Atom Cats
4) CF Viper Kowalski, 18, Nordhagen Beach Party Boys
5) LF Old Blue Sandoval, 21, Quincy Granites
6) RHP Graham Cracker Fontenot, 21, Nuka World Thrills
7) LHP Gray Waalk, 23, The Slog Ghouls
8) CF Randall Marcus, 21, Bunker Hill 75ers
9) SS Qing Baker, 20, University Point Deathclaws
10) RF Booger McTarberry, 20, Spectacle Island Reapers

June 25 - Diamond City Swatters right fielder Teng Dgebuadze has been suspended 4 games in conjunction with his ejection yesterday for arguing a third-strike call in the Vault 81 game at CURIE Inc. Field. Dgebuadze did not immediately return to the dugout and continued to yell and scream at the home plate umpire. The league said it will not condone this type of conduct and issued the suspension.

In 70 games this season, Dgebuadze has batted at a .199 pace with 47 hits and 6 home runs.

June 29 - It came down to the last hour of a self-imposed trade deadline, but the Providence Super Mutants and Jamaica Plain Red Rockets finally came to an agreement on a trade that had been rumored for weeks. The trade sends Providence's 32-year old 3B Dathomirian Zabrak to Jamaica Plain in a swap for 27-year old 1B Sheedy Smith. Both GMs seemed relieved that the deal had been completed with one stating, "We had to set a deadline to get it done." The players are expected to report to their new teams by tomorrow.

Zabrak is currently hitting at a .197 pace with 3 home runs and 18 RBIs.

Smith has collected 6 hits for the Super Mutants this year, 0 of them home runs. He has also netted 4 RBIs and scored 2 runs while batting .140.

July 2 - Esau Babz accomplished one of the rarer feats in baseball when he hit for the cycle against the Fort Hagen Silver Shroud in the 9-2 Bunker Hill 75ers win at Battle of Bunker Hill Memorial Stadium.

Afterward, Babz acknowledged that his accomplishment was special, but said he was more interested in helping the 75ers win.

"Maybe one day I'll look back on this with more meaning, but right now I just want to go out tomorrow and put some good swings on the ball and help my club win another game," Babz said.

On his historic day, he went 4-for-4 with 2 RBI and 4 runs scored -- and also got a spot in the history books.

Esau Babz hit a solo-shot off Alex Mazique in the 1st, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI triple in the 7th and walked in the 8th.

So far this year, Babz is batting .288 with 14 home runs, 31 RBIs and 30 runs scored.

July 4 - In a hastily called press conference, Sunshine Tidings announced today a trade with The Slog that will send 27-year old 2B Mai Malaman to the Ghouls in exchange for 22-year old minor league C Wu-ji Zhuan. All players are expected to be in their respective new cities in time for today's games.

So far this season, Malaman is hitting .283 with 4 home runs.

July 4 - BNN has learned the Nuka World Thrills have reportedly worked out a deal with the County Crossing Bloodbugs. Sources close to the Thrills indicated that a trade has been reached in principle where 19-year old minor league 1B Zak Doyle and 23-year old minor league LHP Horan Gibson will be swapped to Nuka World with 37-year old RHP Jason Tonelli heading to County Crossing. Neither organization would comment on the report, saying it was club policy not to speak about a trade until it was finalized.

This season, Tonelli has made 24 relief appearances, recorded 1 save and compiled a 1-4 won-lost mark and a 8.17 ERA. In pitching 54 innings, he has totaled 54 strikeouts and 22 walks.

July 5 - Spectacle Island's Meribrand Docybuck had the top strikeout performance on the season with 15 on June 16 against Vault 81. At the All-Star Break, we also discovered that Docybuck is on a record strikeout pace, currently at 11.204 per 9 innings pitched.

The record was set in 2309 by Jason Tonelli (who was involved in a trade reported just above this blurb) with a 10.997 rate. Tonelli has three of the top four rates, having 10.867 K/9 in 2307 and 10.681 in 2308. Mike Cartrette was the original owner of the record, getting a rate of 10.841 in 2299.

The North Charles Association All-Stars reigned supreme tonight at Super Mutants Stadium, with a 10-9 triumph over the South Charles Association All-Stars.

North Charles Association third baseman Tommy Tanks led the way for the winning club, putting up a 2-for-2 mark to earn game MVP honors.

"We had some fun out there," he said. "We've got a great league and a great team and I'm not surprised we won."

In 143 career games Tanks has batted .269 with 138 hits with 25 doubles, 3 triples and 23 home runs. He has also collected 75 RBIs and scored 71 runs.

Home Run Derby

The 2320 Home Run Challenge had some fierce competition, but coming out the victor was A'Trey-U Jones, the slugging first baseman from the Salem Witch Hats. He bested Hammer Longball in the final round by a score of 6-5.

"I just wanted to put on a show for the fans," he said as he hoisted the championship trophy. "They wanted home runs, and I was happy to deliver for them."

VHRL Playoffs

For the Montpelier Monarchs, it was a joyful time; for the Conway Pinehawks, it was gloom and doom.

With a 4-0 win at Monarchs Stadium, Montpelier closed out the championship 2-1 over Conway.

The Monarchs have now won their 1st league championship in franchise history. The streets around the Monarchs' stadium were a mob scene, filling quickly with fans, while banners and flags were held high and waved proudly.

"It's unbelievable for us, our great fans, and all of Montpelier," said a smiling owner The owner of the Montpelier Monarchs. "The guys really put their heart and soul into this season and it paid off for them."

In a somewhat somber and dejected Pinehawks clubhouse, manager Turtle Susanti said his team "just didn't get the job done."

"The Monarchs played as good as any team I've seen and deserve to be champions," he said.

The champs finished the regular season 27-26 and claimed second place in the VerHamp Rookie League.

Post All-Star Break Clarity as We Approach 100 Games

Ten CBO teams have reached 50 or more wins, including one 50-win team behind in the standings for a 49-win team.

3. FHE
4. Southie
5. Egret (.5384 winning percentage over Obe - .5376)
6. Oberland

Brotherhood League

Malden looked as though they would lose their lead in the BL, but a current five-game winning streak has pushed them three up on Easy Town. The Slog and County Crossing are both 4.5 back, with Salem 5 back, and Nahant 5.5 back for teams still in the playoff hunt. Nordhagen Beach is solidly in 7th at 13 back with Far Harbor on its way to 8th at 22.5 back.

The Party Boys do not party like they used to. After 15-straight playoff appearances and four Sole Survivor Series wins from 2298-2312, this season will mark the eighth year in a row out of the playoffs after their stars aged out. Now, just a few remnants of goodness are hanging around, and they may be dealt soon. The Boys are 10th in runs scored (357) and 14th in runs allowed (405). Leading the way on offense are 1B Peter LaCock (.308/16/53) and C Knees Arrowhead (.309/8/38). On the mound, ace SP Home Plate Day (8-12, 3.51) has been OK. Petie Pembroke (2-3, 2.47), as mentioned in the Noteworthy News section, has been promoted from CL to SP. He has gone 1-0 in three starts since the switch. Next season, prospects Eye Anson (4-1, 4.57) with Springfield (NEBL) and Grassy Voigt (5-9 3.51) with Braintree (BMU) are expected to also be in the rotation, which could boost Nordhagen Beach. They just need to find some exciting bats to join them.

Institute League

The Coursers continue to maintain a comfortable lead in the IL with the five-game difference in their record and Fort Hagen marking the CBO's largest league lead. Bunker Hill is a game back of the Silver Shroud, with Concord rounding out teams over .500. Starlight, Sunshine Tidings, and Lexington are not out of it, but they may need to either be buyers or sellers soon. The Chemists traded away long-time star, Family Sam Partridge, to Oberland, so they appear to be sellers. The Thrills hold the CBO's worst record.

For the Killers, they should also consider selling. While they are just two years separated from winning the IL in 2318, Starlight needs to find hitters to help them win games. The Killers are 14th in runs scored (321) with every offensive category in the bottom half of rankings except stolen bases (8th at 48). SS Axe Dillworth (.264/6/37) leads the team in average in what is typically a hitter-friendly park. 1B Waterbug Grant (.258/16/33) and RF DJ Shark (.226/16/41) lead in homers.

On the mound, the Killers are killing it, ranked 1st in runs allowed (289) and Starters ERA (2.45). Mercury Morris (9-8, 1.83) is in the Vim! Pitcher Award running despite his terrible run support leading to a so-so record. Sturdy Woodman (11-3, 2.17) and Zachariah Budd (9-6, 2.72) also are doing great. CL Tenacious Jenkins (23 SV, 1.16) has been dominant in the bullpen.

Minutemen League

Atom and Southie are in a battle with the rest of the league fading away to insignificance at .500 or below. University Point and Jamaica Plain are hovering around .500, but they need to win a lot of games quickly to even approach the overloaded Railroad League teams. All of Goodneighbor, Cape Cod, Spectacle Island, and Quincy can think about next year. The Mirelurks started really poorly, finishing their first month 6-20, but they have been decent since then (35-33), including going 18-10 in June.

The Hancocks keep thinking they are on the precipice of the playoffs, but then they fade away. This season is no different. Goodneighbor is 13th in runs scored (327) and 10th in runs allowed (351), showing this season is pretty much lost again. 1B Zed Zded (.238/21/55) and RF Wind Dale Davis (.301/16/47) are the leaders on offense. On the mound, both SPs Jared Porch (7-7, 2.63) and Jules Alder (5-7, 2.62) are pitching well without run support. CL Kell George (23 SV, 3.54) has been decent.

"We can shake it up a little, / We can kick it up a notch, / We can put it on the grill, / you can show me what you got."

Railroad League

FHE came on with a vengeance to try to surpass Diamond City, but the Swatters have now won six-straight to pull to a 2.5-game lead. Egret and Oberland are both on top of each other for 3rd and 4th place, respectively. Vault 81 has been a bit better as of late, pushing them to 5th, while Roxbury and Glowing Sea have dropped in the standings. Providence went 4-6 in their last 10 to pull themselves out of the #1 overall pick discussion for the moment.

Roxbury, like the Hancocks, cannot quite find the playoff formula. Assuming they do not go on a huge run, this will mark their 8th-straight season out of the playoffs after having been one of the better franchises in the early part of the century, especially from 2302-2311 when they won three Sole Survivor Series.

Now, Roxbury just cannot separate itself from other teams to win consistently. The Sox are 7th in runs scored (352) and 9th in runs allowed (347). Two players hitting well are RF Bix Bimbleman (.284/20/51) and 1B Honker Trinkl (.269/27/64). On the mound, Daley Hayes (6-8, 3.21) has the best ERA. CL Sparkler Guenot (23 SV, 0.74) has been great when given save opportunities, converting at 95.8%.

CBO Standings

CBO Players of the Week

July 12 - What's in a number? In baseball, just about everything.

The numbers that Concord's Jannar Arbor put up last week were the envy of the league, as Arbor came away with North Charles Association Player of the Week honors.

He belted out 6 hits in 13 at-bats, 4 home runs and 5 RBIs last week as he posted his .462 batting average.

This year, Arbor is hitting .261, produced 48 RBIs and 22 home runs, scored 45 times and gotten on base at a .312 rate.

Southie fans have something to crow about today as Southie right fielder Clean Blake Dean nabbed the South Charles Association Player of the Week Award for his performance over the last seven days.

"I know there are times when it's hard to lay off pitches. Everyone goes through stretches when he's too eager to put the ball in play. You know, though, I feel like this past week I was able to get in the right frame of mind and just let things come naturally," said Dean.

He posted a .455 average (5-for-11) this past week with 2 home runs, 6 RBIs, and 2 runs scored.

Dean is hitting .211 for the season with 12 home runs, 44 RBIs and 34 runs scored. He has 63 hits in 299 at-bats and played in 88 games.

July 19 - This week's premier performer in the North Charles Association was third baseman Jacob Tarberry of the Malden Grognaks.

He banged out a .600 average and was voted the Player of the Week. Over the last week Tarberry socked 9 hits in 15 at-bats and 1 home run, drove in 7 runs and scored 5 times.

This year, Tarberry is batting .245 with 4 home runs and 30 RBIs. In 66 games he has scored 24 times.

Earthwind More demonstrated his potential to be a star in the game last week and today he took home the South Charles Association Player of the Week Award.

The Cape Cod first baseman wreaked havoc on opposing pitchers last week, pounding them for a .647 average (11-for-17) with 2 home runs and 3 RBIs on his way to claiming the honor.

This year, More is batting .296 with 5 home runs and 14 RBIs.

CBO Noteworthy News

July 6 - The Roxbury Rad Sox have finalized a deal that will send 23-year old minor league 3B Kyran Thompson and 23-year old minor league LF Aureli Barczynski to Quincy for 32-year old RHP Phil Pearlman. Minor details still need to be worked out before the trade becomes official, but the players involved are expected to be with their new clubs soon.

This season, Pearlman has worked 111 innings with 75 strikeouts en route to a 8-7 record and a 4.22 ERA.

July 7 - The Nordhagen Beach Party Boys are looking to shake up their pitching staff after the All-Star Break, announcing that closer Petie Pembroke (9 SV, 2.83) would be moving into a starting role. Taking his place will be current SP Mister Burns (4-11, 4.88) in a rare midseason role swap.

Nordhagen pitching coach Brent Hooker, who knows a thing or two about pitching in the CBO (140-147, 4.43 in 22 CBO seasons), said that the change was necessary because former 1st-round pick Pembroke (15th overall in the 2313 Draft by Diamond City) is "ready."

"I see what he can do," Hooker said, "and I wanted to see some of that potential become reality. It has. He needs to start for this team for our future success."

Pembroke is expected to get his first start on July 9 against Nuka World.

July 9 - After prolonged negotiations Atom agreed to ship 19-year old minor league 2B Average Joe Wilson, 19-year old minor league LF Blur McDaniel, and 22-year old minor league RHP Mik Eggs to Nordhagen Beach for 24-year old RF Tengiz Svarudze. The deal is awaiting confirmation from the league office but neither team expects any hang-ups.

"It took longer than expected," said one GM, "but we knew that the deal was going to happen."

So far this year, Svarudze is batting .266 with 10 home runs.

July 17 - It's being reported in the Sunshine Tidings press that the Chemists have traded 31-year old LF Family Sam Partridge and a 5th round draft pick to the Oberland T-51s for 24-year old minor league 2B Money Bhatti, 23-year old 1B Dorek Lesniak, 21-year old minor league LF Thunder Bassett, and 25-year old LF Sascha Foss. However, there is no confirmation by the two ball clubs.

So far this season, Partridge is batting .269 with 20 home runs.

This season, Foss has 12 home runs and a .218 batting average.

CBO Updates

Sunshine Tidings "Bleeding Caps"

Sunshine Tidings owner Talia McGovern announced that her small farm community and a lack of success have her "bleeding caps."

"There's no more money here," McGovern said. "With the trains running and no train station nearby, we cannot compete with other settlements."

The Chemists are still alive in the playoff race, but McGovern has indicated that the team has to offload some of its upper-level players since they are paid more caps. The CBO pay system is directly tied to OSA Scouting Reports.

"I am open to sell. I need some money in my senior years. Owning this team is not doing that for me."

The August 2 Super Post, Part 1

CBO Top Performances

Hitter - it was not anywhere close to the best performance on the season, but FHE's Brass Well scored 93 game points on July 22, earning him the top hitter performance of the month. In an 11-2 win over Vault 81, Well delivered a 4 for 4 performance with a home run, three runs, and five RBI.

Pitcher - Goodneighbor's Jared Porch tied for the 4th-best pitching performance on the season in the Hancocks' 8-0 victory over University Point on July 24. Porch pitched a complete-game two-hitter, walking one, and striking out 12 in a 113-pitch performance for a 94 game score.

CBO Players of the Month

NCA Hitter - Evan Keel battered North Charles Association pitchers all July and wound up taking home the Batter of the Month Award.

"I've been around Commonwealth Baseball Organization long enough to know you really have to work hard day in and day out to be able to put up this kind of consistency," the 26-year-old Keel told reporters. "I put in a lot of work, even on the days I might not take the field, and it's always nice when everything comes together for me like it did this last month."

In 24 games, Keel hit .311 with 8 home runs, 17 RBIs and scored 20 runs.

In his season totals Keel has 15 home runs and a .266 batting average.

SCA Hitter - Foo Fieterz, the Atom first baseman, certainly made a name for himself this past month. He banged out a .359 batting average with 28 hits, 8 home runs, 27 RBIs and scored 20 times.

That kind of hitting earned him the South Charles Association Batter of the Month honors for July.

For the season, Fieterz has hit .257 with 18 home runs and 63 RBIs. He has played in 98 games and scored 55 times.

NCA Pitcher - The Pitcher of the Month Award has been announced and the North Charles Association winner is Nahant hurler, Gary Harvard. For his standout performances in July he has been named the league's best pitcher.

During the month, Harvard excelled with a 2.54 ERA and 4 wins and no losses. In 46 innings he struck out 45 and gave up 34 hits and 13 walks.

In 26 starts this season, Harvard has chalked up a 8-10 record and a 3.81 ERA.

SCA Pitcher - This month when the Diamond City manager wrote the name "Lopez" on the lineup card, he was confident that he would get a good start out of him. Outing after outing in July Macho Lopez took command and usually got the win.

He dominated with a 6-0 mark and 0.98 ERA in 6 starts, piling up 46 innings and 54 strikeouts and holding opposing teams to a .170 average.

For his superb performance Lopez was named the South Charles Association Pitcher of the Month by the baseball writers.

To date this year, Lopez has compiled a 18-5 mark with a 2.15 ERA in 27 starts.

NCA Rookie - Esteban Mountainman is turning heads by putting up some spectacular numbers and today he collected the North Charles Association Rookie of the Month Award.

Brotherhood League

The Grognaks are now in a real battle in the BL with the top three teams all within two games of 1st place. Malden has a 1.5-game lead over Easy Town and a 2-game lead over Nahant. The Slog is to games over .500, followed by County Crossing and Salem. Nordhagen Beach is 13 back of the Grognaks and considered out of the race, with Far Harbor 22.5 back.

The Fog knew that it would take a few years to be competitive, so their goal has been to develop and find diamonds in the toxic waste. Looking in their own league at the 2310 expansion team and currently 1st place Grognaks, it was Year 6 before the breakthrough to a playoff appearance. Far Harbor has a few players they can look to within the next few years, including 1B JaRussell Marcus (.199/14/30), 3B Alvie Alvintzi (.258/13/38), and LF Paydirt Wynter (.270/12/34) for offensive leadership. On the mound, two young starters, Diesel O'Neal (7-14, 4.73) and Jakie Zhou (3-12, 4.92), should develop. Top prospect (#24 overall) SP Ernie McShane with Norwalk (NEBL) could be in the rotation next season.

Malden continues to lead the BL despite not being the greatest team statistcally. The Grognaks are 5th in runs scored (439) and 6th in runs allowed (391). Batting average (.225 for 11th) and home runs (120 for 10th) are really low, so drawing walks and moving runners has been their small ball success story. CF Taffy Dare (.242/13/47) is the official average leader on the team. Malden did make one blockbuster trade to solve their biggest need. The Grognaks obtained star C Phantom Vargas (.218/17/36), who should become a boost for their power game immediately. He has already homered.

Institute League

Cambridge has been a bit cold as of lagte, going 4-6 in their last 10, but no other team is lighting it up, either. The Coursers have a four-game lead over Fort Hagen, followed by another game by Bunker Hill. Starlight is two games above .500, with Sunshine Tidings at .500. Concord and Lexington are now considered out of the race, with Nuka World 13 back of the Synths for 8th place.

The Thrills may have been the biggest loser in their approach to the expansion draft and even how well they drafted. Their 1st Round pick, #6 overall SP Graham Cracker Fontenot (2-3, 2.98 since being called up), does nto look to be one of their mistakes. He is likely to be a top pitcher in the CBO for years to come. Other players who may contribute in coming years include RP Arcade Fourcade (1-5, 4.10), LF Coldfire Trill (.229/7/24), and 3B Joe Moore (.211/8/23). Nuka World's top prospect, #93 SP Mule Hasber, is out until at least next June with a torn rotator cuff.

Cambridge, like Malden, is in 1st place, but the stats do not necessarily support their position or scream out the best team in baseball. The Coursers are tied for 3rd in runs scored (446) and 8th in runs allowed (401). Other than the same average issues much of the league is suffering through in the expansion season, pretty much everyone in the lineup can generate some power. CF Pro Jabonete (.243/19/51) and CF Bubbler Mayhem (.258/19/50) are the team leaders there. All four starters have ERAs below 4.00 with ace Scooter Yaghmour (11-7, 3.02) leading the way.

Minutemen League

Atom and Southie have been the only teams truly battling in the ML and are likely to finish 1-2 in some order. The Cats currently have a 1.5-game advantage. Jamaica Plain has battled their way back into the playoff conversation, but they need to win a lot more than 20 games in their last 37 to realistically get in. The RL is that tough and good. All of University Point, Goodneighbor, Cape Cod, Spectacle Island, and Quincy can take advantage of roster expansion next week to get some of their youngsters CBO experience.

The Mirelurks have not folded, currently in 6th place with a 4-2 advantage over the Reapers in their season series and a 5.5-game advantage over 8th place Quincy. Cape Cod also has a few players that feel as though they are a base in building success in the future whether that will be with the Lurks or through trades for additional talent. 1B Earthwind More (.298/10/21) and LF Tink Crenshaw (.275/17/51) are two of those players on offense. SP Matthew Mainstreet (7-7, 3.37) has taken on the ace role already after being taken in the 3rd round of the Expansion Draft. RP Snacks Arena (6-2, 2.13) has been their best bullpen pitcher.

The Cats have looked the part of potential champions all season. Currently in the SCA, they are 2nd in runs scored (469) and tied for 4th in runs allowed (360). RF Candy Kline (.280/8/39) is the average leader with 1B Foo Fieterz (.257/18/63) leading the team in homers (14 since joining the Cats). On the mound, Josh Brown (12-4, 3.10) is the unquestioned leader, though K-9 Creep (6-10, 2.95) and Melvin Terminator (12-9, 3.00) have better ERAs. CL Moby Dick O'Brien (29 SV, 2.37) is tied for 3rd in the CBO in saves.

Railroad League

While this is by far the best league in baseball with six teams above .500, the Swatters and FHE have separated themselves and should finish 1-2 in some order. Basically, we know which teams will be the top four seeds in the SCA. With 3.5 games separating the next five teams (and just one game separating the next four), the last two playoff seeds will be a hell of a fight. Right now, the order of playoff contenders are Oberland, Egret, Roxbury, Vault 81, and Glowing Sea. Providence is 18.5 back of the Radscorpions, meaning they have pretty much clinched 8th place unless something really crazy happens.

The Mutants started the season hot but have fallen behind everyone since then, going a CBO-worst 20-60 since May 1. They were 14-12 exiting April. Providence does have some serious talent that can make a lot of noise if they are developed well. Ace StLee Jensen (6-15, 3.87) could be one of the better pitchers in the CBO if he develops fully. After being the 21st-overall pick by Easy Town in the 2316 Draft, he is finally getting a chance to pitch CBO games. CF Guy Reynolds (.234/13/48) can already be considered a team leader on offense. Other young talent includes RP Jhereg Battlement (12 SV, 4.98), CL Hulk Martin (3 SV, 5.29), and 1B Hunter Lacoste (.272/12/36).

For Diamond City, a chance for a championship in 2320 will have to come from the best pitching staff in baseball. The Swatters are 11th in runs scored (380) but 1st in runs allowed (285) thanks to the best Starters ERA (2.42) and 2nd-best Bullpen ERA (2.84). 1B Two Shoes Rivera (.351/14/35), acquired in a trade with Concord, has been a boost to the offense. Veteran SS Alex Bragman (.273/15/53) has also been a team leader. Pitching has been outstanding with the top three pitchers all with ERAs below 2.50: Macho Lopez (18-5, 2.15) is the Vim! Pitcher Award leader, Dropper Millieu (15-8, 2.41), and Black Red (7-4, 2.20). CL Abe Lincoln Marbury (31 SV, 2.77) is tied for the CBO lead in saves with Egret's Pin Tell.

CBO Players of the Week

July 26 - 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. Johnboy Zikmund, the Sunshine Tidings Chemists 24-year-old second baseman, put himself in the spotlight last week making him the clear-cut choice for North Charles Association Player of the Week honors.

He ripped 11 hits in 26 at-bats, compiling a .423 average with 4 home runs and 9 RBIs.

This season, Zikmund has banged out 109 hits in 339 at-bats for a .322 average with 27 home runs. He is getting on base at a .415 pace and his totals also include 64 RBIs and 60 runs scored.

It was an extraordinary week for Foo Fieterz of the Atom Cats. First he goes on a hot hitting streak, batting .579, then he is voted the Player of the Week in the South Charles Association. Last week Fieterz went 11-for-19, racked up 3 home runs and 9 RBIs and scored 8 runs. It was a heck of a week for the Atom first baseman.

So far this year, Fieterz has hit .259 with 17 home runs, 58 RBIs and 51 runs scored.

August 2 - This week Miko Miko, third baseman for the Bunker Hill 75ers, hit his way to the North Charles Association Player of the Week Award.

Miko put on a hitting clinic with a .476 average as he belted and battered NCA pitchers for 10 hits in 21 at-bats, 3 home runs, 10 RBIs and scored 4 runs.

Miko is batting .240 with 9 home runs and 27 RBIs this season.

Two Shoes Rivera must have thought he was dreaming. First he went on an exceptional week-long batting spree, bashing the ball at a .357 clip, then the Diamond City first baseman finds out he has been chosen the league's best performer and gets the SCA Player of the Week Award.

He told BNN reporters in the postgame, "It was a great week for me. I could see the ball so well. Plus some of the balls seemed to have good eyes, too."

For the week Rivera batted .357 (10-for-28) with 5 home runs and 6 RBIs.

Thus far this year, Rivera is hitting .351 with 14 home runs, 35 RBIs and 31 runs scored.

CBO Noteworthy News

July 20 - It's all done except the paperwork. The Diamond City Swatters and the Concord Radstags have agreed to a trade that will send 19-year old minor league RHP Derby Howell and 19-year old minor league 1B Dimmy Suciu to Concord, while 27-year old 1B Two Shoes Rivera will be shipped to Diamond City. A top front office executive with the Swatters described the trade talks as "quick and easy." "We're glad to get this deal done. We think it's something that helps our ball club and it didn't take too long at all to sort this one out," he said.

Rivera is currently hitting at a .343 pace with 7 home runs, 27 RBIs and has scored 18 times.

July 21 - The Radstags have reached a deal with The Slog, sending 28-year old CF Kai Devlin to the Ghouls in exchange for 22-year old minor league RHP Kirk Trek and 19-year old minor league RHP Mad Dog Waqanitoga. Reports had been hinting at a deal in recent days, but weren't confirmed until this afternoon.

In the 2320 season Devlin is hitting .267 with 4 home runs.

July 21 - Salem and Providence have agreed in principle to a trade. The Witch Hats will send 25-year old 3B Kai Halliday to the Super Mutants for 25-year old RHP Mad Mutt Vinegar and 23-year old 2B Prax Meng. The deal is expected to be finalized shortly and the clubs will be introducing their new players to the press when the paperwork is complete.

Currently Halliday is batting .191 with 5 home runs and 18 RBIs.

Thus far this year, Meng has hit .255 with 2 home runs and 15 RBIs.

July 22 - BNN is reporting a rumored trade between the Roxbury Rad Sox and Providence Super Mutants has been finalized. The deal, which is expected to be announced sometime during the next few hours, will reportedly send 26-year old RHP Hulk Martin and 19-year old minor league 2B Radar Razz to Providence in return for 25-year old 3B Sergio Siu. The clubs were noncommittal on the trade, but did not deny it.

This year, Martin has 39 relief appearances, saving 2. His record is 3-4 with 66 strikeouts in 48 innings and a 5.62 ERA.

This year, Siu has batted at a .232 pace with 45 hits, 6 home runs, 17 RBIs and scored 24 times.

July 23 - It took some time to iron out the details, but the Synths and Silver Shroud have agreed to a swap. Fort Hagen will get 25-year old LHP Esteban Mountainman with Lexington receiving 19-year old minor league RHP Yanni Kollias in return. A source close to the trade talks said the two clubs were initially looking to make a bigger deal, but discussions broke off late last night. The two sides reconvened early today and eventually settled on this deal.

This year, Mountainman has pitched 49 innings over 36 relief appearances, picking up 3 saves and held opponents to a .167 average. Mountainman has a 3-0 record with a 1.65 ERA and 64 strikeouts.

July 24 - The Celtics and Synths have been engaged in a little wheeling and dealing. They have just concluded a trade with 21-year old minor league 3B Bater Paola going to Lexington in exchange for 27-year old RF Packs Ton Kling.

Kling is hitting .206 so far this season with 23 RBIs and 42 runs scored. He has 78 hits including 9 home runs, 24 walks and .256 OBP.

July 24 - According to BNN there were mixed emotions by the players involved in the trade between the Roxbury Rad Sox and the Concord Radstags. As part of the deal, the Rad Sox swapped 20-year old minor league RHP Rhett Woodman to the Radstags getting 26-year old 3B Mike Fountaineau in return. The players indicated it was good to get a fresh new start in another city, but it was difficult to leave your friends on the old team.

This season, Fountaineau has posted a batting average of .216 with 70 hits in 324 at-bats, 11 home runs and 32 RBIs. He has also scored 30 runs, walked 27 times and compiled a .276 OBP.

July 25 - You can't always get what you want, but sometimes you find a deal anyway. The Baseball News Network is reporting that Lexington and Sunshine Tidings have made a swap with 28-year old SS Geralt Rivia being shipped to the Chemists and in return the Synths would get 24-year old minor league LF Bad Company Gondek and 23-year old minor league RHP Daniel Goldmine.

Lexington general manager Enjar Ronne said the two sides were close to a blockbuster trade before agreeing upon a smaller scale transaction.

"This is just a bit of housekeeping compared to what we wanted to do," he said. "I won't name names, but the potential deal we were close to making would have certainly grabbed some headlines."

A source inside the Lexington organization said the two sides might not be done dealing, and another transaction could be in the works.

Rivia's current batting average stands at .227 and he has chalked up 6 home runs and 27 RBIs.

July 29 - In a hastily called press conference, Malden announced today a trade with Vault 81 that will send 23-year old minor league RHP Remmie Harris and 23-year old minor league RHP Alex Moon to the Dwellers in exchange for 32-year old C Phantom Vargas. All players are expected to be in their respective new cities in time for today's games.

The August Super Post, Part 2

NEBL Standings

The New England Baseball League regular season is over. The good clubs that made the playoffs are headed back to the ballparks to determine the league's top team, while the other teams can be found on the first tee, half-heartedly enjoying the offseason with mixed emotions.
It's playoff time, when the best teams play one another with the ultimate prize at stake -- the New England Series championship.

The regular season has ended and anxiety is starting to rise around the clubhouses still harboring championship aspirations.

The playoffs begin today, the final sprint to the finish line and the time when great players earn their fame, when average players get a shot at immortality, and when rookies look to make their name.

Some dread it and some relish it, but everyone who dreams of playing in New England Baseball League wants to have a once-in-a-lifetime shot at championship glory. The 2320 League Championships kicks off today with these exciting matchups:
Newton Behemoths vs Springfield Operators and Lowell Sentry Bots vs West Hartford Alphas.

NEBL Players of the Month

PL Hitter - When Randall Marcus stepped up to the plate in July he did it with confidence, and today he was honored with the Patriot League Batter of the Month award.

The young Nashua center fielder posted a .375 batting average with 8 home runs, 18 RBIs and scored 24 runs. Marcus also worked pitchers for 15 walks to post a .469 on-base percentage.

This year, Marcus is hitting .328 with 9 home runs and 19 RBIs in 36 games played. He also boasts an OBP of .429 with 20 walks and 30 runs scored.

YL Hitter - At only 22 years of age, Fred Chicken could very well have many more months like this last one during his career.

That would be great news for fans of the Fall River Rippers, as July was one to remember for the center fielder and he has captured the Yankee League Batter of the Month award.

On the month he hit .429 with 6 home runs, 19 RBIs and 24 runs scored.

At the moment, Chicken is batting .346 with 16 home runs and 55 RBIs. He has played in 86 games and scored 64 times.

PL Pitcher - Sea Mink hasn't been around long enough to know that youngsters shouldn't be winning Patriot League Pitcher of the Month. But when you put up numbers like his, you're going to get some notice.

In July the Nashua starter earned a 4-0 mark in 6 starts. He threw 40.2 innings, struck out 22 and compiled a solid 1.55 ERA.

This year, Mink has made 13 starts, thrown 81.1 innings, fanned 53 batters and walked 25. His won-lost record is 6-3 with a 3.43 ERA.

YL Pitcher - The top pitcher this past month in the Yankee League was Licky Lichenstein of the Lowell Sentry Bots. He really bewildered league hitters, finishing July with an excellent 4-1 record and 1.45 ERA.

The Sentry Bots hurler made 6 starts and surrendered 27 hits in 43.1 innings. He struck out 32 and walked 10.

This year, Lichenstein has compiled a 4-2 mark with a 1.89 ERA in 9 starts.

Close the book on the Massachusetts Minor League regular season. For most of the ballclubs, it's all over except for the crying. Now attention turns to the playoffs.

The Massachusetts Minor League playoffs are here -- so let the games begin! It's time to crown the Massachusetts Minor Series champion for 2320.

Everett Mutant Hounds vs Arlington Caps and Stratford Pugilists vs Weymouth Cannibals.

MML Players of the Month

LL Hitter - It's official. BNN writers have voted Tom Harkness of the Chicopee Vans the Legends League Batter of the Month award for July.

During the month he recorded a .356 average with 6 home runs, 26 RBIs and 17 runs scored.

So far this season, Harkness has recorded a .342 batting average with 50 hits, 7 home runs, 31 RBIs, 26 runs scored and a .458 OBP.

SL Hitter - Braintree Robobrains fans believe they've got a talented young star in Olcar Moore.

The end result was the left fielder being named the Stars League Batter of the Month.

This season, Moore is batting .285 with 27 RBIs, 25 runs scored and 12 home runs.

LL Pitcher - July's top hurler was Lib Doe of Chicopee. He shackled Legends League hitters the entire month and claimed the Pitcher of the Month award with a sparkling 4-1 mark.

The 25-year-old Doe added 24 strikeouts in 45.1 innings and 10 walks to his season record and compiled a 1.99 ERA. Other clubs hit .248 against him.

So far this season, Doe has a 8-2 record with a 1.65 ERA.

In 19 starts this year, Wood has posted 6 wins while suffering 8 losses. He has pitched 129.1 innings, allowed 135 hits, struck out 92 and has a 4.87 ERA.

BMU Playoffs

With a 7-4 win over the Clifton Vertibirds tonight at Rockland Ball Park, the Rockland Snipers wrapped up their 2nd title in team history.

Rockland left little doubt who was the better club. "Team" was the word of the day as the Snipers celebrated the culmination of their banner year in the victors clubhouse following the game.

"Hitting, pitching, fielding; those are all things you need to win, but most importantly you need a team, a team that works together toward the same collective goal," said Rockland manager Justin Vertz. "Our players felt that way all year and they played that way. When one guy had an off day, 24 others stepped up their game and filled the void."

A jovial mood filled the air as Rockland celebrated into the night. The city's mayor said parade plans were underway and a "huge celebration" in the works.

"We're going to celebrate our team, our championship Rockland Snipers," the mayor said.

The champions completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Massachusetts Association Downtown Boston Division and a 57-31 record.

BMU Players of the Month

CA Hitter - Even though he is a newcomer to Boston Minor Union, Liam King put up some good numbers in July and earned the CA Batter of the Month award.

He was one of Bangor's offensive leaders with a .333 average in 19 games. He also racked up 5 home runs, 11 RBIs, and 15 runs scored.

Currently King is batting .308 with 8 home runs, 20 RBIs and 26 runs scored.

MA Hitter - Black Magic Rogers may be much younger than other hitters in the Massachusetts Association, but he performed like a seasoned veteran in July to win the Batter of the Month award.

The 22-year-old Meriden left fielder hit .284 with 6 home runs, 13 RBIs and 14 runs scored.

Rogers is currently batting .239 with 8 home runs and 20 RBIs.

CA Pitcher - There's no doubt that Eyebots starter Parrish Wesman earned his Commonwealth Association Pitcher of the Month award. He left absolutely no room for doubt as he mowed his way through the opposition in July.

During the month Wesman was 4-0 with a 3.18 ERA. He made 5 starts, tossed 34 innings and had 30 strikeouts.

In 9 starts this year, Wesman has recorded a 7-1 record and a 3.03 ERA.

MA Pitcher - The Pitcher of the Month for July has been picked and the Massachusetts Association award went to Rockland hurler, Fergus Tal-Shachar.

During the month, Tal-Shachar was impressive with a 0.92 ERA and 4 wins and no losses. In 39 innings he struck out 39 and gave up 25 hits and 4 walks.

In 9 starts this season, Tal-Shachar has compiled a 6-1 record and a 1.42 ERA.

GBRL Playoffs

Sometimes the winner is the one who got the lucky bounces and the lucky calls, and sometimes the winner is just the one who played better.

It was the latter case in 2320, as the Abernathy Adamantium topped the Cherry Ghoulrillas 3-1 tonight at Grandchester Mystery Mansion Park to win the Rookie Series. It was the 2nd title in franchise history.

"When you play for championships, you have to play better than the team in the other dugout. We did that in this series, and all year. Now we're the best team in baseball," said Abernathy left fielder Acrobat Magee, who was named series MVP.

The Adamantium took the series 4-2. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Heroes League Danse Division and a 49-39 record.

Abernathy manager Lee Duper grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Magee's words.

"Acrobat said it best -- we played better than the other team," the skipper said.

Hometown officials announced they were already planning a "grand celebration" for the winners in the days to come.

GBRL Players of the Month

HL Hitter - For a rookie just breaking in, Conor Blueplate certainly put together a successful month. It was good enough to win the HL Batter of the Month award for July.

The 22-year-old left fielder for the National Park Gulpers hit .418 with 6 home runs, 21 RBIs and 21 runs scored.

So far this year, Blueplate is batting .291 with 11 home runs, 48 RBIs and 52 runs scored.

SL Hitter - Not known for his offensive prowess, Darby O'Doherty set the league afire in July and took home the Saviors League Batter of the Month award.

The Mayoral Shelter first baseman posted a steady .420 batting average, 9 home runs, 23 RBIs and 17 runs.

This year, O'Doherty is batting .449 with 10 home runs.

HL Pitcher - Sheridon Carr of the Anglers bewildered opposing batters in July and was honored as the Heroes League Pitcher of the Month earlier today.

The Eden Meadows starter sparkled last month with a 3-0 record and 1.16 ERA. He made 4 starts, tossed 23.1 innings and had 30 strikeouts.

In 20 starts this season, Carr has registered a 5-5 record and a 4.03 ERA.

SL Pitcher - Any time a rookie makes a splash on the scene, it's got to be great for his career potential. Just ask Ox Kapono, who put together a stellar month out of the pen. The Quartz Star Force reliever, 22, kept the opposition off balance all month as he held them to a .257 average and walked away with the Saviors League Pitcher of the Month award for July.

Kapono posted a 3-0 mark and a 3.38 ERA in no relief appearances. In 29.1 innings, he had no saves, 29 strikeouts, and 18 walks.

This season, he has made 4 relief appearances, collecting no saves. Kapono has worked 40.2 innings, yielding 37 hits and giving out 29 free passes while striking out 42. He has a 5-1 record with a 4.65 ERA.

VHRL Awards

Hitter - Roarty MacNamara, the talented Montpelier first baseman, certainly made his name known among VerHamp Rookie League hurlers this season. He hammered them for 59 hits, 8 doubles, no triples, 8 home runs, 31 RBIs and scored 22 times. That kind of output made him the choice for VerHamp Rookie League Most Valuable Player Award for 2320.

He received 4 first place votes, as a unanimous winner. Wawa Medlock of the Montpelier Monarchs finished second in voting, while Little John Moore of the Lebanon Comets finished third.

Fabien Fabre - Conway Pinehawks - 0 - 4
Gabriel Shuo - Lebanon Comets - 0 - 1

Reliever - Dante Bagby said he thinks hitters often underestimate him, as he's only 21 years old.

But he'll certainly be getting a lot more respect now, as the Conway Pinehawks rising star has won the VerHamp Rookie League Reliever of the Year Award for 2320.

He captured the award on the strength of his 2.25 ERA over 40 innings. He also had 6 saves in 25 relief appearances, 58 strikeouts and only 18 walks.

He received 4 first place votes, as a unanimous winner. Walt Clawhorn of the Montpelier Monarchs finished second in voting, while Meany Walsh of the Conway Pinehawks finished third.

At 11-1 in their last 12 games, the Celtics are one of the hottest teams in the CBO. With Malden going 5-5 in their last 10, that has allowed Nahant to take over 1st place. Easy Town is a half-game behind the Grognaks, followed by County Crossing as the last BL team above .500. The Slog and Salem are still in the playoff race, while Nordhagen Beach and Far Harbor are not. The Fog is the first team officially eliminated from the playoffs with 24 games to go.

The Ghouls statistically should be a playoff-caliber team, currently 3rd in runs scored (495) and 6th in runs allowed (444). Yet, despite a +51 run differential, The Slog has been bad in close games. In one-run games, they are 12-24, only better than Nuka World (12-29) in the NCA. Despite a dominating year by ace Buzzcut McDonald (16-5, 2.36), who may win the Vim! Pitcher Award, the Ghouls may be sitting when the playoffs begin.

Nahant is enjoying success right now that they have not had many chances to enjoy. The Celtics have made the playoffs only four times, with 2311 being their only BL crown in the full CBO. Statistically, Nahant should not be in 1st place, so those numbers will need to get much better. The Celtics are 6th in runs scored (490) and 9th in runs allowed (450). The top of the order has been really good from 1-4 in the lineup: Evan Keel (.270/17/44), Good Breath Supply (.212/21/51), Pip Prowler (.248/23/54), and Tommy Tanks (.261/23/63). Ace Carter Hall (12-6, 2.22) is in the Vim! Pitcher Award conversation.

Institute League

The Shroud have won nine straight after having been on a four-game losing streak earlier in the month. Bunker Hill is on a six-game winning streak with a 7-3 mark in their last 10. Cambridge which had a hold on the IL for a long time, is now 2-8 in their last 10, including a five-game losing streak. In fact, all of the IL is streaky. 4th and 5th place Starlight and Concord are on five and three-game winning streaks, while the next three are on losing streaks: Sunshine Tidings (6), Lexington (4), and Nuka World (3).

The Chemists were in the race, but they may be fading away now. With owner Talia McGovern already looking for change, Sunshine Tidings missing the playoffs for the 8th time in nine years may break her. The team is one of the better hitting teams, including leading the NCA in team average (.242) but they cannot turn hits or being the top home run hitting team (166) into enough runs (7th with 488). Pitching is pretty bad but ace McRicky McWilliams (16-8, 3.36) has enjoyed success. There are pretty good prospects in the wings, led by the CBO's top prospect, RF Shalvey O'Doherty.

Fort Hagen is currently atop the mountain in the NCA. They are also the team statistically looking as the best. The Shroud are 1st in runs scored (533) and 2nd in runs allowed (411). LF Innis Sark (.295/24/70) is the team leader on offense, with a lot of help from top veteran C Red jay Jones (.259/21/78). Booker Wood (12-5, 2.63) has had the most success on the mound.

Minutemen League

With their 10-game winning streak, the Brews now own the second-best record in the CBO. Atom has struggled over the last 10, losing 8 to drop them 5.5 back as we get late into the season. They will need a momentum swing to take the ML title. Jamaica Plain is .500 and barely holding on. The rest of the league is out: Goodneighbor, University Point, Cape Cod, Spectacle Island, and Quincy.

The Reapers are going to miss the playoffs for the 12th-straight year. Their .407 winning percentage is also their worst since 2314 when they finished 49-81 (.377). The move to Spectacle Island has not been a good one for the former Warwick Mirelurks, and we're not sure what owner Patrick Drumlin will do to make it any better. There is some young talent that could make a difference in time, especially SP Meribrand Docybuck (12-7, 2.69). Finding quality pitching has been tough, and there are no top prospects waiting the in the wings there.

The Brews are hot, and they are aching for more with only one playoff appearance in team history (2318 as the ML champions). Southie is 1st in the SCA in runs scored (569), including 1st in six other offensive categories. They are also 1st in Bullpen ERA (2.33). However, they are weak at starting pitcher with the 13th Starters ERA (3.88) and 8th in runs allowed (3.88). The 1st and 8th hitters in the lineup, CF Ditcher Doyle Cobbler (.233/22/58) and 3B Mikita Sato (/.254/25/55) are their top two home run hitters. Pitching acquired Arcade Anderson (6-16, 3.84) from Quincy, hoping he can help boost the team. His biggest problem with the Granites was a lack of run support but his ERA is still too high for all of his talent. Brandon Sparrow (10-5, 2.96) has been the best overall starter. In the bullpen, RP Killian Austin (8-1, 1.81) has picked up a lot of wins in tight games. CL Boots Echenstein (34 SV, 2.63) has been efficient.

Railroad League

With the Swatters currently down, FHE has taken hold on the RL lead and now has the second-biggest lead at 4 games. Oberland has been super hot, going 9-1 in their past seven, to move to 3rd place in the RL. Egret, Vault 81, and Roxbury are all currently in a battle for the sixth seed. Glowing Sea has been cold, and they can now be considered out of the playoff hunt. Providence has the CBO's 2nd-worst record, one game up on Far Harbor. The Super Mutants should be eliminated from the playoffs today or tomorrow.

The Radscorpions have shown for the third-straight season that their short term of success (playoffs: 2313, 2315-2317) was not something that they could sustain. Except for power numbers (2nd with 144) the Scorpions have been atrocious on offense. There could be some more offense coming in if top prospects 2B Master Mazur (#38), 2B Ares Ng (#71), and CF Flash Trout (#78) develop in the offseason.

The Yao Guai are now the CBO's top team at 77-43. FHE is likely to make their fourth-straight playoff run, but they have never won the RL. In fact, last season when they finished in 3rd place and four back of Diamond City was the closest they ever finished to 1st. Talent-wise and statistically, the Yao Guai are championship contenders. They are 3rd in runs scored (496) and 2nd in runs allowed (376). 2B Phil Brodie (.319/25/81) is in the Nuka Hitter Award discussion. SP Lane Phrasemaker (19-3, 1.74) is the Vim! Pitcher Award leader.

CBO Standings

CBO Players of the Week

August 9 - When it came to hitting the baseball, Johnboy Zikmund had few peers in the North Charles Association this past week.

The talented second baseman for Sunshine Tidings tagged opposing pitchers for a .591 average and was voted the Player of the Week Award. Included in his stats were 13 hits in 22 at-bats, 3 homers, 8 runs scored and 10 RBIs.

Zikmund is currently batting .331 with 33 home runs and 79 RBIs.

Providence fans have something to crow about today as Providence first baseman Hunter Lacoste nabbed the South Charles Association Player of the Week Award for his performance over the last seven days.

"I know there are times when it's hard to lay off pitches. Everyone goes through stretches when he's too eager to put the ball in play. You know, though, I feel like this past week I was able to get in the right frame of mind and just let things come naturally," said Lacoste.

He posted a .476 average (10-for-21) this past week with 3 home runs, 6 RBIs, and 7 runs scored.

Lacoste is hitting at a .284 mark this season. His stats show 15 home runs, 42 RBIs and 50 runs scored. He has played 105 games for the Super Mutants.

August 16 - When it came to hitting the baseball, Henry Hampster was in a class by himself in the North Charles Association this past week. Nobody did it better.

The outstanding center fielder for Starlight tagged opposing pitchers for a .500 average and was voted the Player of the Week Award. Included in his stats were 9 hits in 18 at-bats, 3 homers, 7 runs scored and 4 RBIs.

For the season, Hampster is batting .204 with 75 hits and 19 home runs. He has scored 40 times and batted in 39.

His hard work and hustle paid off this week. The hard-working and hard-playing Missile Crews was rewarded with the South Charles Association Player of the Week honors.

The scrappy FHE Yao Guai center fielder hit .500 while collecting 13 hits in 26 at-bats, 1 home run and 6 RBIs.

For the year, Crews is hitting .257 with 12 home runs. His stats include 40 RBI and 73 runs scored.

CBO Noteworthy News

August 6 - After several days of waiting for test results, bad news was delivered to Pin Tell today. The Egret closer will be out the rest of the year due to a damaged elbow ligament he suffered on 08/04/2320.

Up to this point in the season, Tell has fashioned a 2-4 won-lost mark, made 47 relief appearances and rung up 33 saves. He has a 2.25 ERA and has allowed 32 hits over his 48 innings of work, struck out 67 batters and walked 14.

IAugust 6 - It was a 18-K day for Carter Hall at Tarberry Field Forever, as the Nahant pitcher put on a show to beat the The Slog Ghouls, 2-0. Hall had his good stuff and good location and that was good enough to chalk up a Celtics victory. He gave up 1 hit in the game and issued 1 walk in a strong performance.

Currently Hall has a 11-6 won-lost record in 28 starts with a 2.32 ERA. He also has 264 strikeouts in 182.2 innings.

Hall set the CBO single-game record for Ks in a game in the season of pitchers. The previous record holders of 17 were Derek Green of Fort Hagen (5 May 2305) and Kyle Gunnels of The Slog (29 April 2309).

August 7 - Commonwealth Baseball Organization announced the 2320 amateur draft pool today, a scant 90 days in advance of the actual draft. For scouts, it is the toughest challenge of the season, trying to come up with an educated guess as to what a young man in his late teens or early twenties is going to do at the professional level a good five years down the road, at best. Some will go on gut instincts; some will rely on years of experience; but most will find it disconcerting how much their team is beholden to Lady Luck. Choose well and they are geniuses; choose poorly and they are unemployed.

A complete rundown of the draft list is available in the Transactions area for quick reference and will be available 90 days before the draft.

The early favorites to be high picks are the following:
1. Mason Brawn, 21 year-old RF out of college.
2. Monster Milam, 21 year-old SS out of college.
3. Deuce Biggerblow, 21 year-old LF out of college.
4. Chris Stainfield, 20 year-old CF out of college.
5. Drew Pondsip, 17 year-old LF out of high-school.
6. Bear Bather, 17 year-old LF out of high-school.
7. Goatee Yoon, 21 year-old SS out of college.
8. Zack Newyorke, 21 year-old 1B out of college.
9. Jack Tatoeater, 17 year-old 1B out of high-school.
10. Bubba Bigfish, 18 year-old 1B out of high-school.

August 8 - His County Crossing Bloodbugs teammates were not terribly surprised when Jason Tonelli announced his retirement today.

In a low-key affair, Tonelli explained his rationale.

"My aches and pains have caught up with me. They don't seem to go away like they used to when I was a kid," he said. "I'm spending more and more time in the trainer's room and less and less time preparing for my next game. I've come to a realization that I've done what I can in this game and spending more time playing baseball is just stealing from my future self."

When asked, the team manager noted "Jason has always been an honest man and when he says he's done, well, he's done."

Since breaking into the league, Tonelli has compiled a 119-114 mark, pitched in 549 games, been credited with 72 saves and amassed a 4.21 ERA. He has 2221 strikeouts in 2193 innings pitched.

August 9 - The active roster limit gets increased today. Teams are allowed to carry up to 40 players until the playoffs start.

August 9 - Joe Malone announced his retirement today according to sources inside the Oberland T-51s organization.

Malone, who is 37 years old, gave reporters some of his plans for the near future.

"I'm going to do a lot of hunting and fishing," he said. "I've always been focused on getting ready for the next season, so maybe now I can slow down and enjoy time away from it all."

Malone went back and forth with the press in a friendly manner during his press conference.

"I'm sure there's a small-mouth bass out there with my name on it," he said.

Malone currently has a career .286 batting average with 1155 hits, good for 50 home runs, 488 RBIs and 471 runs.

August 9 - "It's worse than we thought." That was the news from the Granites clubhouse today as it was learned that first baseman Gian Fist will be out for an added one week as a result of a clubhouse incident. His treatment for personal leave - angry with front office will have to be extended. Initially it didn't seem Fist was a major concern, but the Quincy first baseman told team officials that he was sitting out more time.

This year, Fist has batted at a .256 pace with 80 hits, 9 home runs, 34 RBIs and scored 63 times.

August 14 - Flirt Perez has to call it a season. The Bunker Hill 75ers starting pitcher learned today that the full extent his injury suffered on 08/10/2320 is worse than hoped. He will not play again this year according to club doctors, who diagnosed the injury as a torn rotator cuff and stated that he would not be able to play for 7-8 months.

The team will likely place Perez on the injured list today.

To date Perez is 9-10 in 27 starts with a 3.31 ERA and has 170 strikeouts in 177 innings.

August 14 - Shaig Abkhazov will have to wait a while longer. The Bunker Hill closer was informed this afternoon that he will miss another 6 weeks with a strained hamstring. The injury has kept him off the field since 08/11/2320. Though Abkhazov had hoped to return soon, he has no choice but to be patient. "Gotta stay focused," he said. "Gotta stay positive."

Abkhazov has 24 saves with a 2-3 season record and a 2.79 ERA. He also has 42 relief appearances, thrown 51.2 innings and struck out 73.

Brotherhood League

It is a heroes vs robots race in the BL with Malden and Easy Town currently jostling for 1st place, while Nahant has faded some since the last update. The Assaultrons were ahead of the Grognaks just a couple of days ago, but with their three-straight dropped, Malden is tied for 1st. County Crossing and The Slog are tied for 4th with both teams barely in the playoff race. Salem has lost six straight and can not start scanning the draft pool. The Party Boys and Far harbor are eliminated.

The Witch Hats were still in the race until recently when they began a losing streak that makes it nearly impossible to catch up. With only two players worth noting this season for star power, rookie 1B A'Trey-U Jones (.219/44/68) and superstar pitcher Paul Stains (20-8, 2.00). The future is not all doom and gloom for the Hats with some decent prospects sprinkled throughout their minors and a decently young core group of potential stars. Top prospects include 2B Snack Boy Jordan Brown (#18), and SP Jaxx Murtagh (#138). Young contributors include 2B Prax Meng, SP Flower Mattson, CL Josh Mcnatty, 3B No Neck Lok, and two on the IR: SP Casan Evans and 2B Craig Lost.

The Trons may turn out to be the best team in the NCA. Tied with the Grognaks, along with great statistics in comparison to the rest of the association, Easy Town is gunning for their second Sole Survivor Series (2317) championship and fourth appearance in five seasons. Last season, they fell to Egret. Offensively, the Assaultrons are 3rd in scoring, thanks in large part to probable Nuka Hitter Award winner, CF Eden Babz (.332/25/89/86 SB), the all-time steals leader. 1B Donnie Gray (.254/35/87) and SS J.J. Gray (.243/25/78) are having excellent years, too. Pitching is 2nd in runs allowed (465) and Bullpen ERA (2.79). The top starter is Dave Pitcher (16-10, 2.73) with the overall staring rotation considered mid. The closer combination of Donall O'Reilly (16 SV, 1.91) and Tee Browning (13 SV, 2.49) has worked out for the Trons.

Institute League

Fort Hagen is a game up on Cambridge, with Bunker Hill 2.5 back. Starlight is 1.5 back of the 6th seed in the playoffs and the last team we consider "alive" in the playoff race. Sunshine Tidings is two games under .500 and would have to go pretty much undefeated and get some help to earn their way into the playoffs. Concord is further buried, and Lexington already cannot catch up to four of the other teams ahead of them. Nuka World is officially eliminated.

The Radstags were a seeming up-and-coming team from 2314-2318, but they have dropped off since then, missing the playoffs last season and probably this one, too. Unlike Salem with some legitimate stars, though, the Stags may take time to rebuild themselves to playoff quality. There are standouts, like CF Jannar Arbor (.252/32/75), but at 28, Concord is more likely to move on from him than further build around him. Concord also has good talent on the mound, led by Kevin Gauzeman (11-12, 3.64) but his potential has not yet been met at 26. RF Dante Joyce (#51) is the top-rated prospect in the system, but they need more talent in the minors before they can build a dynasty. No, this team may need to be reconstructed by whoever becomes the next GM. Muttface Dickison may not have the stomach to reset the team after eight seasons in charge after working so hard to build them up when joining as GM in 2313.

Bunker Hill has been one of the more dominant offenses once CF Esau Babz (.253/27/54) returned from injury that kept him out of 40 games this season. With his power, the 75ers are 1st in home runs (188) ad 2nd in runs scored (576), making them very dangerous in the playoffs. 1B Marl Moriarty (.317/36/95) would be the Nuka Hitter Award favorite if Babz's brother in Easy Town was not so dominant. Pitching has been decently good, too, with the 75ers now 5th in runs allowed (474) and 3rd in Starters ERA (3.27). Dream O'Sullivan (14-5, 2.51) has become comfortable as the ace. At 35, Jalep Temper (7-3, 3.06) was happy to take on a supporting role and will be a great 3rd starter if they go with him in the playoffs. Bunker Hill did lose two important pitchers, Flirt Perez (9-10, 3.31) and CL Shaig Abkhazov (24 SV, 2.79), so winning it all will be difficult.

NCA Playoff Outlook

Each of the leagues has three teams realistically in the league title conversation. Starlight is not in that conversation, but they are the only other team with a realistic chance of being one of the six teams in the playoffs. We will add their outlook below, while leaving off the Bloodbugs and Ghouls since they would need two teams to fall off a cliff in the last two weeks. One team may--see details below.

All remaining series are three games unless otherwise marked.

Brotherhood League Pennant Chase:

Malden - vs BH, vs Nah (4), @ Con, vs FHar (Prediction: 8-5)

Easy Town - vs Star, @ Sal, @ BH, vs Nah (4) (Prediction: 7-6)

Nahant - vs Cam, @ Mal (4), @ FtH, @ ET (4) (Prediction: 3-10)

The Celtics have a brutal schedule to finish, having to face off against the four top teams in the NCA, and no more off days. We are not only predicting that they do not win the BL but that they will miss the playoffs altogether. That leaves the Grognaks and Trons fighting it out for a top-two seed and one of the wildcard spots.

In the battle, Malden has the schedule advantage with a road series against Concord (63-68) and a sweep possibility to finish the season against the Fog (46-68). The Assaultrons' only non-playoff team series is a road trip to Salem (61-70). We expect the Grognaks to take the BL crown.

Institute League Pennant Chase:

Fort Hagen - @ Sal, @ Lex (4), vs Nah, vs Con (Prediction: 9-4)

Cambridge - @ Nah, vs Star, vs FHar, @ Lex (4) (Prediction: 8-5)

Bunker Hill - @ Mal, @ ST, vs ET, vs Star (4) (Prediction: 8-5)

Starlight - @ ET, @ Cam, vs Slog, @ BH (4) (Prediction: 6-7)

Both the Shroud and Coursers seem to have the easiest path. The 75ers seem to have a schedule they can also manage, and the Killers just need to better Nahant.

Final Seeds Prediction:
1. Fort Hagen 85-59
2. Malden 81-63
3. Cambridge 83-61
4. Bunker Hill 81-63
5. Easy Town 80-64
6. Starlight 76-68

Minutemen League

At 9-1 in their past 10, Southie remains the CBO's hottest team. They are 22-3 in August, leaving little doubt how good they can be. Atom was once the darlings of the ML, but at 7.5 back and a Magic # of 7 for the Brews to clinch the league title, this race is pretty much done. None of the rest of the league is really in playoff contention, though Goodneighbor is 3.5 back of the 6th seed and Jamaica Plain is 5 back. University Park and Spectacle Island can expect to be eliminated soon, while Cape Cod and Quincy are already there.

The Deathclaws have still yet to recover from stars Barker Cocoa, Aesed Hayjen, Austin Engill, Tony Bertha, and Tomas Jones aging out. Since 2312, ending the run, the Claws have made the playoffs just once, 2315. On the bright side, University Point has appeared to reload its minor system, so they may be competitive within the next few years. Their top three prospects are all in the Top 50: SS Qing Baker (#9), SP Bryce Yaag (#31), and SP Bronny Galinski (#33). 2B Sincere Grey (.211/12/59) is the best-talented player on the team and may become a star one day. Pitching needs the prospects to develop with Less Myles (6-12, 3.87) the only young starter with top potential.

For the Red Rockets, they are still battling, but it is obvious they do not have the firepower to win now. Jamaica Plain is 15th in runs scored (426) and 11th in runs allowed (493), so they should be many more games than four below .500. RF Kevin Cauthen (.258/17/63) leads in average and RBI, and 2B Brandon Larsonist (.202/24/55) is the homers leader. Ace SP Make Money (16-9, 2.64) is the best pitcher. The split closer role of Awesome Tony Fox (25 SV, 2.89) and Wizard Albutt (15 SV, 2.20) works for the Rockets.

Railroad League

FHE has already clinched a playoff spot, but a three-game losing streak has helped Diamond City move to two games back. This is a two-way race for 1st place, while five teams are in the wildcard race, in order: Oberland, Egret, Vault 81, Roxbury, and Glowing Sea. The Radscorpions have been hot, winning four straight and eight of their last 10 to put them back in the race at 3.5 games back of the 6th seed. Providence is eliminated and currently would have the #1 overall pick in the 2320 Draft.

The Dwellers could be a playoff team, but they are battling statistics along with the power that is most of the rest of the Railroad League. While tied for the 6th seed, our prediction is that Vault 81 will be watching the playoffs this season after making it 9 of the past 10 seasons and winning the championship in 2315. The Dwellers are 10th in runs scored (474) and runs allowed (492), not a good sign for making the playoffs. RF Pockets Wrench (.307/32/87) is the team MVP and should be in Nuka Hitter Award discussions.

Oberland has been a pleasant surprise on the season after PAM picked them to finish 7th in the league ahead of Providence. While the team could be better on offense entering the playoffs (tied for 8th in runs scored at 477), the pitching has been solid, including being currently 3rd in runs allowed (435) and Starters ERA (2.97). LF Family Sam Partridge (.269/30/83) was acquired in a trade and should help the offense be fiercer in the playoffs. Three starters have had an ERA below 3.00, not including ace La'Ray Kalel (10-11, 3.08). Rookie Guy Tarr (3-0, 2.05) was called up and has been decently good in 13 appearances and nine starts.

SCA Playoff Outlook

There are 11 teams alive in the playoff race, but there are tiers here. We are assuming that the Brews will win the ML, so the only thing to check for them is if they can maintain the #1 overall seed in the playoffs. Both Atom and Diamond City are pretty much guaranteed a playoff spot. In addition to the Yao Guai, who have already clinched a spot, that gives up the top four to check for position.

Then, there are the final two spots in the playoffs where all of, in order, Oberland, Egret, Vault 81, Roxbury, Glowing Sea, Goodneighbor, and Jamaica Plain are alive.

All remaining series are three games unless otherwise marked.

Top four seeds outlook:

Southie - @ FHE, vs Good (4), vs Obe, @ UP (Prediction: 8-5)

Atom - @ Prov, @ UP (4), vs V81, vs SI (4) (Prediction: 10-4)

FHE - vs Sou, @ Prov, @ JP, @ GS (Prediction: 6-6)

Diamond City - vs JP, vs V81 (4), @ Cape, @ Rox (4) (Prediction: 9-5)

The Yao Guai has the toughest remaining schedule of this group, while the Cats may have the easiest road. Diamond City's schedule is also in their favor to get a chance to tie or surpass the Yao Guai. The Swatters own the season series tiebreaker, 6-4. Southie should be able to hold serve, giving them the best chance to be the #1 seed.

Last two seeds outlook:

Oberland - vs UP, @ GS (4), @ Sou, @ Egr (4) (Prediction: 7-7)

Egret - vs Qui, vs Rox (4), @ Good, vs Obe (4) (Prediction: 9-5)

Vault 81 - vs Good, @ DC (4), @ Atom, vs Prov (4) (Prediction: 7-7)

Roxbury - vs Cape, @ Egr (4), @ UP, vs DC (4) (Prediction: 9-5)

Glowing Sea - vs SI, vs Obe (4), @ Qui, vs FHE (Prediction: 9-4)

Goodneighbor - @ V81, @ Sou (4), vs Egr, @ JP (Prediction: 5-8)

Jamaica Plain - @ DC, vs Qui, vs FHE, vs Good (Prediction: 8-4)

Other than the Hancocks, who have the toughest remaining schedule of this group, every team can make a move. We are optimistic here, so we do not expect six of these teams listed to go .500 or better to finish. Baseball is NOT that predictable. These are just based on what should happen if everything went as expected. With that stated, the only overall change in standings happens below.

Final Seeds Prediction:
1. Southie 93-51
2. Diamond City 89-55 (6-4 vs FHE)
3. FHE 89-55
4. Atom 87-57
5. Oberland 78-66
6. Egret 77-67

CBO Standings

CBO Players of the Week

August 23 - Fort Hagen fans have something to crow about today as Fort Hagen shortstop Dizzy Bass nabbed the North Charles Association Player of the Week Award for his performance over the last seven days.

"I know there are times when it's hard to lay off pitches. Everyone goes through stretches when he's too eager to put the ball in play. You know, though, I feel like this past week I was able to get in the right frame of mind and just let things come naturally," said Bass.

He posted a .435 average (10-for-23) this past week with 4 home runs, 10 RBIs, and 6 runs scored.

At present, Bass is batting .260 with 108 hits and 17 home runs. He has knocked in 53 runs and scored 64 times.

Not every ball that came off Kai Halliday's bat last week was a line drive or a towering shot -- it just seemed that way to the teams that played the Providence Super Mutants. For his exploits, Halliday was named this week's South Charles Association Player of the Week award.

The Providence third baseman put up 10 hits in 19 at-bats and 2 home runs while hitting .526 with 2 RBIs and 5 runs scored.

Batting .269 to date, Halliday has 12 home runs and 29 RBIs.

August 30 - Cambridge sports fans can't stop singing the praises of Bubbler Mayhem, who has been selected the North Charles Association Player of the Week.

Mayhem was in a comfort zone all week, finishing with a .429 average (9-for-21), 9 RBIs and 6 home runs.

This season, Mayhem has hit at a .261 clip and produced 68 runs batted in, 27 home runs and 66 runs.

What's in a number? In baseball, just about everything.

The numbers that Oberland's Jalen Taylor put up last week were the envy of the league, as Taylor came away with South Charles Association Player of the Week honors.

He belted out 10 hits in 20 at-bats, 2 home runs and 3 RBIs last week as he posted his .500 batting average.

This year, Taylor is hitting at a .257 pace with 17 home runs and 50 RBIs. He has played in 125 games and scored 59 times.

CBO Noteworthy News

August 21 - The Malden Grognaks topped the County Crossing Bloodbugs by a score of 11-4 at Unstoppable Park, but all the talk was centered on center fielder Floren Habern.

The Malden star hit for the cycle in a show-stealing performance, powering his club to the win. Habern went 4-for-5, collecting 1 single, 1 double, 1 triple and 1 home run to go along with 3 RBI and 3 runs scored.

"I felt comfortable at the plate in a way I haven't felt all season," Habern said after the game. "It was like they were throwing beach balls at me - the ball seemed that big. And it just floated in."

Floren Habern tripled in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Sadman Mullis in the 5th, hit an RBI double in the 6th and singled in the 8th.

This year, Habern is hitting .248 with 16 home runs.

August 24 - Gary Harvard had hoped for the best, but expected the worst. Today, he learned from the Nahant medical staff that he would miss the rest of the season. The Nahant starting pitcher suffered a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in an earlier ballgame. He admitted to being discouraged, but said he plans to come back strong next year.

This season, Harvard has worked 181 innings with 191 strikeouts en route to a 9-12 record and a 3.98 ERA.

August 30 - Reports are that Cambridge RP Chad Nailgun was involved in a bar fracas last night in Bunker Hill, and will not be joining the trip to Nahant today. A team official mentioned that the 33-year-old Nailgun was considered the aggressor, so he would be suspended "for a few games."

The league office will oversee the suspension, which will probably be for the duration of the three-game trip to face the Celtics. Cambridge returns home after a day off on Thursday to face Starlight at home.

Nailgun pitched in the game last night, a 6-4 win versus the 75ers. He allowed a run on two hits with a walk and two strikeouts in 1.2 innings of relief in the 5th and 6th innings.

The September 1 Super Post

CBO Top Performances

Hitting - A spectacular performance by Easy Town's J.J. Gray on August 20 set the month's and season's top hitting performance score, 119. In a 13-1 blistering of Nordhagen Beach, Gray went 4 for 4 with two doubles, a home run, a walk, three runs scored, and eight RBI to set the pace for the home team. He also added a stolen base, his 22nd on the season.

Pitching - Its not a solo top score for the season, but it matched the top score when Nahant's Carter Hall scored 98 game points to match his teammate, Emanuel Dougherty's, season high. On August 6, Hall pitched 8.1 innings of one-hit ball in a 2-0 win at The Slog, walking one, and setting the CBO single-season record for strikeouts with 18.

CBO Players of the Month

NCA Hitter - Sunshine Tidings Chemists fans may just have witnessed a star player blossoming before their eyes in August.

Johnboy Zikmund put up a remarkable month at the age of 25 and has been named the North Charles Association Batter of the Month.

For the month, Zikmund hit .394 with 9 home runs, 24 RBIs and 17 runs scored.

At the moment, Zikmund is hitting .331 with 37 home runs and 90 RBIs. He has played in 127 games and scored 79 times.

SCA Hitter - At only 24 years of age, Phil Brodie could very well have many more months like this last one during his career.

That would be great news for fans of the FHE Yao Guai, as August was one to remember for the second baseman and he has captured the South Charles Association Batter of the Month award.

On the month he hit .333 with 8 home runs, 20 RBIs and 17 runs scored.

This season, Brodie is batting .319 with 144 hits, 29 home runs, 90 RBIs, 49 walks, .389 OBP and has scored 85 runs. He has played in 127 games.

NCA Pitcher - The top pitcher this past month in the North Charles Association was Paul Stains of the Salem Witch Hats. He really bewildered league hitters, finishing August with an excellent 5-2 record and 2.37 ERA.

The Witch Hats hurler made 8 starts and surrendered 42 hits in 64.2 innings. He struck out 75 and walked 8.

In 34 starts this year, Stains has crafted a 20-9 record and a 2.11 ERA.

SCA Pitcher - Capping off a whirlwind month in which he went 6-0 with a 2.09 ERA, Orel Hershey was selected as August's South Charles Association Pitcher of the Month today. Reporters caught up with the elated Southie starter as he left the clubhouse.

"I know it's difficult for pitchers -- when you have a bad start or two, people start wondering if you've lost it. Then you ride stretches like this one for all you can. You find it easier to come to the park every day because know you're contributing to the club, not just waiting for your turn in the rotation to make up for your last start."

Orel Hershey definitely contributed to the club. He had 7 starts, throwing 43 innings, striking out 45, and holding the opposition to a .192 average.

This year, Hershey has fanned 222 in 191.1 innings and collected a 19-7 record with a 3.72 ERA.

NCA Rookie - He might be new to the league, but Maverick Rizzy of The Slog is a player. He proved it this month with a sensational 3-2 won-lost mark and impressive 1.82 ERA. For that strong performance Rizzy was named the North Charles Association Rookie of the Month.

In August he started 6 games, tossed 34.2 innings, yielded 23 base hits, fanned 29 and walked 10. Opposing hitters combined for a .189 average against him.

In 31 starts this season, Rizzy has picked up 12 wins while suffering 11 losses. He has pitched 185 innings, allowed 142 hits, struck out 159 and posted a 3.26 ERA.

SCA Rookie - Stlee Jensen gave his career a kick-start this past month by nailing down August's South Charles Association Rookie of the Month honors.

The 23-year-old starter for Providence wrapped up a 4-2 month with an ERA of 2.92. He racked up 27 strikeouts in 40 innings as he issued 13 walks and held opponents to a .268 average.

So far this season, Jensen has logged a 10-17 record with a 3.68 ERA. He has started 33 games, hurled 203 innings and registered 175 strikeouts and 73 walks.

NEBL Playoffs

Sometimes the winner is the one who got the lucky bounces and the lucky calls, and sometimes the winner is just the one who played better.

It was the latter case in 2320, as the Lowell Sentry Bots topped the Springfield Operators 8-4 tonight at Mahkra Fishpacking Stadium to win the New England Series. It was the 2nd title in franchise history.

"When you play for championships, you have to play better than the team in the other dugout. We did that in this series, and all year. Now we're the best team in baseball," said Lowell first baseman Hjalfar Sailor, who was named series MVP.

The Sentry Bots took the series 4-1. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Yankee League Old Glory Division and a 60-48 record.

Lowell manager Grover Baum grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Sailor's words.

"Hjalfar said it best -- we played better than the other team," the skipper said.

Hometown officials announced they were already planning a "grand celebration" for the winners in the days to come.

MML Playoffs

With a 5-2 win over the Everett Mutant Hounds at Pride of Stratford Park today, the Stratford Pugilists wrapped up their 2nd title in team history.

The Pugilists left little doubt who was the better team. Celebrating a banner year, "team" was the word of the day in the victorious clubhouse after the game.

"Hitting, pitching, fielding; those are all things you need to win, but most importantly you need a team, a team that works together toward the same collective goal," said Stratford manager Brad Flanagan. "Our players felt that way all year, and they played that way. When one guy had an off day, 24 others stepped up their game and filled the void."

A jovial mood filled the air as Stratford celebrated into the night. The city's mayor said parade plans were underway and a "huge celebration" would be in order.

"I hope they have a big celebration," Everett manager Fletch Drumming said. "They deserved to win this series and they deserve to celebrate it."

BMU Awards

CA Hitter - The future looks extremely bright for Gennady Hudyaev. At the age of 23, many players are still trying to find their way in Boston Minor Union.

Hudyaev has not only found his way, he's already established himself as one of the game's brightest stars, today being named the winner of the Commonwealth Association Medford Memorial Hitter Award.

"I didn't expect to hit .296 this year, that's for sure," the catcher said.

The Belmont Sneakers star also put up a .375 on-base percentage this year, with 76 hits, 15 doubles, no triples, 14 home runs, 44 RBIs and 39 runs scored.

He received 31 first place votes out of a possible 32. Jamie Cunningham of the Bangor Fort Knights finished second in voting, while Deadtree Wallatello of the Lynn Woods Bloatflies finished third.

CA Starter - A sparkling 9-1 mark for the year just about says it all -- that's what Specs Blake of the Clifton Vertibirds put up this season. That's why the Commonwealth Association rated him the #1 hurler in the league and named him the 2320 Milton General Pitcher Award winner.

He held opposing clubs to a .204 batting average and compiled a 1.53 ERA. Blake stood out with 67 strikeouts while giving up 69 hits and 12 walks in 94 innings.

CA Reliever - Carbon Copy Wooten was a calming influence out of the Groton Ragers bullpen this season.

His teammates and manager said he had a poised demeanor about him that was typical of someone much older and more experienced. His poise has paid off, as the 23-year-old turned in a sparkling season and has been named the winner of the Commonwealth Association Slocum's Joe Reliever Award for 2320.

The North Attleborough, Massachusetts native won the award with 15 saves in 26 relief appearances, 34 strikeouts in 34 innings and a record of 4-0 to go with his 0.26 ERA.

He received 30 first place votes out of a possible 32. Baywatch Yoon of the Shrewsbury Cosmos finished second in voting with 2 first place votes, while Zoomba O'Brien of the Finch Farm Four Leafs finished third.

MA Reliever - At the age of 23, Mikkel Ove says he still has a lot to learn about life in Boston Minor Union.

But he certainly seems to be a quick study, as the Meriden Attack Dogs reliever was better than all others this year and has captured the 2320 Massachusetts Association Slocum's Joe Reliever Award.

"I hope to win this a few more times before all is said and done in my career," the
Barnstable Town, Massachusetts native said.

For the season, Ove had 9 saves in 34 relief appearances, which totaled 38.1. He fanned 22 betters, while walking 10 and put up a record of 3-2 to go with his 1.41 ERA.

He received 24 first place votes out of a possible 32. Tadpole Manley of the Westfield Gun Fu finished second in voting with 8 first place votes, while Haley Hurran of the Shelton Hitters finished third.

GBRL Awards

HL Hitter - At the age of 19, Cathal MacMahon of the Augusta Harpooners could very well have his best years ahead of him.

It's a startling thought when you consider the year he had in 2320 was good enough to win the left fielder the Heroes League Future Player of the Year Award.

"See the ball, hit the ball," he said. "That's my basic approach."

The top hitter put up a .359 batting average this year, as well as a .518 on-base percentage. He played 85 games and racked up 104 hits, 22 doubles, 1 triple, 28 home runs, 66 RBIs and 94 runs scored.

SL Hitter - He may have less experience than most of his Greater Boston Rookie League peers, but that didn't slow Piedmont Marsh down at all in 2320.

At the age of 20, the Grape center fielder has been named the winner of the Saviors League Future Player of the Year Award.

He had a .396 batting average and a .488 on-base percentage this year. In 77 games he piled up 110 hits, 11 doubles, no triples, 31 home runs, 86 RBIs and 68 runs scored.

"I'm blown away by the season I was able to put together," he said. "I'm looking forward to trying to do it all again next year."

News from the CBO, Minors, CCBL, and CYL

by Nat Wright-Kawolski

10 September 2320

CBO: Closing Weekend Update

Each of the 32 CBO teams have three games remaining on the season, and there is a lot to unpack! Exactly seven of the 12 playoffs spots are clinched, three in the NCA and four in the SCA. That leaves five more slots to be filled. First, the current standings, followed by our breakdowns:

NCA Breakdown

We thought that Nahant's remaining schedule was like the old Nuka World Gauntlet when raiders used to rule the park. Instead, the Celtics have gone 8-3 in that stretch, defeating Cambridge (2-1), Malden (3-1), and Fort Hagen (2-1). While Nahant still needs help to take the #1 seed, they do control their own destiny in the Brotherhood League. The Celtics downed Easy Town by the score of 3-0 yesterday, giving them a 1-0 series lead and now a two-game lead on both the Assaultrons and Malden. If Nahant wins one more game, they will have clinched the BL since they would have won the season series over both teams.

Between the Trons and Grognaks, Malden has the easier path, getting a three-game weekend against Far Harbor. The Grognaks are 7-2 so far on the season in that series. Unless the Assaultrons win all three games this weekend, they are probably looking at 3rd place in the BL, though tiebreakers could place them in 2nd place if Malden drops any games.

The race for the #1 overall seed and the Minutemen League crown is between Fort Hagen and Cambridge. The Silver Shroud took the season series over the Coursers, 7-3, so finishing tied would give them the league crown. The Shroud host Concord, while Cambridge is at Lexington. The Synths took the first game of that series, 4-3, in walkoff fashion after falling behind 3-2 in the top of the 9th.

Bunker Hill is currently in the lead for the 4th seed, one game up on both Malden and Easy Town. The 75ers lost to Starlight yesterday, keeping the Killers alive. Starlight needs to sweep the four-game series to secure their playoffs spot. They can also go 3-1 or 2-2 as long as one of the Assaultrons or Grognaks finish tied with them. Starlight defeated both teams in the regular season, 4 games to 2.

SCA Breakdown

Both leagues are determined for the champions, with Southie taking the Minutemen League and FHE taking the Railroad League. Those will be the #1 and #2 seeds in some order. The Brews are at University Point to finish the season, while the Yao Guai are in the dome at Glowing Sea. The brews also have a 4-2 season series advantage over FHE, so Southie can afford a loss more than the Yao Guai can.

Atom and Diamond City are locked into the #3 and #4 seeds, meaning they will have home-field advantage in the Wildcard Round. Atom swept the Swatters, 6 games to 0, in the regular season, so a tie would give them the #3 seed. The Cats host Spectacle Island. Diamond City has a rougher time facing a wildcard hungry team in Roxbury. The Rad Sox took yesterday's game, 2-1.

Speaking of the Sox, they are the first team out in current standings of a five-team race for the last two spots. Let's start with the last of those five teams, though, the Radscorpions. Glowing Sea can only reach as high as the #6 seed, but they will need a lot of help. First, they have to sweep the Yao Guai. They also need all of Oberland, Roxbury, and Vault 81 to get swept. The Dwellers are facing Providence, so that may already eliminate the Radscorpions.

If Vault 81 sweeps the Super Mutants, they would be at 76-68, giving them a chance to surpass or tie one or more teams. The T-51s and Egret, the teams currently occupying the last two spots, are facing each other. Only a 2-1 win by Oberland would complicate the standings, while the Ninjas would still likely clinch the top wildcard spot due to tiebreakers unles swept by the T-51s. If the Sox win two more over Diamond City, we could have a four-way tie for the #5 and #6 seeds. Were that to occur, the order of finish based on team vs team record would be this:

#5 Egret - 6-4 vs Obe, 6-4 vs Rox, 7-3 vs V81
#6 Oberland - 7-3 vs Rox, 6-4 vs V81

Thus, nothing would change. For the Sox, Dwellers, and to an extent, Glowing Sea, they all need the Ninjas to win the series over Oberland.

#1 Overall Pick

Now, let's look at another aspect of the league, the race for worst place, thus the #1 overall pick in the 2320 Draft. OSA currently has seven players marked as "sure things" in the draft, though two of the top pitchers will not be ready for the beginning of the 2321 season due to injury. That means picking in the Top 5 could be important, especially with the history of 80 prospect picks, especially the #1 overall, being a long list of success in the CBO.

With that stated, three teams are currently tied for that spot: Far Harbor, Providence, and Quincy. Nuka World went on a four-game winning streak, dropping them to 4th overall currently. Cape Cod has already clinched the 5th overall pick.

The Granites have the best chance to fall to the 3rd or 4th spot since they host the Mirelurks this weekend. Quincy currently leads the season series, 4-3. Both the Mutants and Fog face teams battling in the playoff race and may be lucky to win a game. Nuka World hosts Sunshine Tidings. How we think it will shake out?

1. Far Harbor
2. Providence
3. Nuka World
4. Quincy

Was super busy for a while but was nice to have a lot of reports to catch up on! Really awesome how in August all the division leaders flipped and man did Southie get hot! Doesn't seem like anyone will be able to stop them unless they fall back down to earth

With Glowing Sea all but officially eliminated, would be nice to see them or Scooter and Cambridge come out on top!

I am happy to say that the final weekend did not "hold serve." There was some flip-flopping in seeding and a couple teams appearing in suddenly out and vice versa.

This was a season that most certainly had its drama. Hopefully, I can find some balance on the offensive/defensive outputs moving forward with the field of 32. I liked the balance before the expansion. It bothers me that only eight players in the league hit .300 or above, especially since most of the parks are considered hitter-friendly. Home run numbers were good. I like that the best hit 45, but RBI numbers are also a bit low. Twenty-five SPs had ERAs below 3.00, and there were five no-hitters on the season.

I may need to test out stat outputs before moving to 2321.

For Glowing Sea, they played well down the stretch but just did not have that oomph to get it done. Cambridge may have a chance, but For Hagen has emerged as the team to beat.

CBO: Regular Season Ends; Fort Hagen, Southie Claim Top Seeds

The 144-game, 32-team Commonwealth Baseball Organization season has concluded with Fort Hagen and Southie on top of their associations. Nahant faltered in their quest to win the Brotherhood League, allowing both Malden and Easy Town to surpass them in the standings. Starlight got a four-game sweep at Bunker Hill, boosting them into the playoffs over the 75ers. In the SCA, Roxbury got a four-game sweep over Diamond City, both boosting themselves into the playoffs and dropping the Swatters down to the #4 seed. As we enter the playoffs, here are the final seeds:

NCA
1. Fort Hagen
2. Malden
3. Cambridge
4. Easy Town
5. Nahant
6. Starlight

SCA
1. Southie
2. FHE
3. Atom
4. Diamond City
5. Egret
6. Roxbury

Brotherhood League

The Celtics needed to beat Easy Town twice to maintain either 1st or 2nd place. After winning Game 1, Nahant fell in the next three to the Assaultrons, dropping them from 1st to 3rd and the 5th seed. They get to continue the fun tomorrow, with the Trons now holding home-field advantage. Malden had a path to the BL crown a bit easier, getting Far Harbor in their weekend series, a sweep, though two games were tight. The rest of the league was already out of the running, though The Slog finished strongly and eight games over .500, leaving them wondering what could have been. The rest of the order was County Crossing, Salem, Nordhagen Beach, and Far Harbor.

At 50-94, the Fog tied with Providence for the CBO's worst record. Since the teams did not play, we are not sure at this point which will have the #1 overall pick, but one of them will. Potential top picks, in alphabetical order, include LF Bear Bather (Gloucester, CYL), 1B Bubba Bigfish (Plum Island, CYL), SS Monster Milam (American Int'l, CCBL), 1B Zack Newyorke (Rhode Island, CCBL), SP Beck Nut (Spectacle Island, CYL), SP Ronnie Rants (Roxbury Coll, CCBL), and SS Key Trashmaster (Marion, CYL).

Institute League

Fort Hagen got the sweep it needed over Concord, while the Coursers went 2-2 at Lexington, spoiling their bid to win the Institute League. Both teams hold the top records in the NCA and should be the favorites to face off in the NCA Championship Series and the 1st and 3rd seeds. As mentioned, the Killers, who entered Thursday needing to sweep Bunker Hill to get in, did it. Starlight won the games, 2-0, 10-6, 4-2, and 2-0. As one of the top offenses in 2320, the 75ers could not figure out the Killers' Sturdy Woodman (17-6, 2.45) nor Zachariah Budd (12-10, 2.45) in the two shutouts.

The rest of the IL finished below .500, with Sunshine Tidings and Concord tying for 5th, followed by the Synths and Nuka World. The Thrills will pick 3rd overall in the 2320 Draft. A smart GM would pick the best player available in a pretty small crop of "sure" players. Reaches are not recommended in 2320!

Minutemen League

We already knew only two would be in the playoffs and the order they would finish. What was a surprise was that Atom appeared to be locked in to the 4th seed. However, with the Cats' six-game winning streak and the Swatters' five-game losing streak, Atom now gets a more-enviable #3 seed.

No other team finished at .500 or above in the Minutemen League, though Jamaica Plain made a late-season playoff push. In the end, though, the Red Rockets finish two games below .500. They are followed in order by Goodneighbor, University Point, Spectacle Island, Cape Cod, and Quincy. The Mirelurks have to be proud to finish as the best of the expansion teams and not in last place in their premier season. Quincy got a sweep of the Mirelurks to complete the season, but they will pick 4th overall in the 2320 Draft. Cape Cod with pick 5th.

Railroad League

The Swatters needed a lot to have a chance to surpass FHE. As of the weekend series, however, that was impossibly. The Yao Guai look to be the CBO's strongest team despite being the #2 seed, so Diamond City may have increased its chances to advance by dropping to the #4 seed. Egret did what it needed in a case where just winning a game over the weekend would get them in. They ended up winning 3 of 4 against Oberland, which dropped the T-51s from 4th place to 6th in the standings.

Both the Rad Sox and Vault 81 battled to the end, each winning their last four. The Dwellers had the Super Mutants. Sweeping them meant that Providence is picking 1st or 2nd overall, and they just needed Roxbury to drop one, maybe two to Diamond City. As it stands, the Sox are in, and Vault 81 has to start thinking about their youth movement on their pitching staff with the 36-year-olds Zack Million (12-14, 3.19) and Exxie Summerset (6-14, 4.77) no longer able to get it done. Glowing Sea surged toward the end of the season, but they were just too far back to come back into the fold. The Radscorpions finished two games above .500 but four back of the final playoff slot.

CBO Players of the Week

September 6 - 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. Marl Moriarty, the Bunker Hill 75ers 23-year-old first baseman, put himself in the spotlight last week making him the clear-cut choice for North Charles Association Player of the Week honors.

He ripped 11 hits in 21 at-bats, compiling a .524 average with 2 home runs and 9 RBIs.

Moriarty is batting .326 this year with 38 home runs, 104 RBIs and 96 runs scored. He has 159 hits in 488 at-bats.

When it came to hitting the baseball, Teng Dgebuadze had few peers in the South Charles Association this past week.

The talented center fielder for Diamond City tagged opposing pitchers for a .542 average and was voted the Player of the Week Award. Included in his stats were 13 hits in 24 at-bats, 2 homers, 6 runs scored and 8 RBIs.

Looking at his present stats, Dgebuadze has compiled a .236 batting average in 128 games with a .300 on-base percentage, while hitting 15 home runs and driving in 63 runs.

CBO Noteworthy News

August 31 - FHE center fielder Missile Crews went 0-for-4 in FHE's 7-3 triumph over the Southie Brews, snapping his 20-game hitting streak.

Crews spoke to BNN after the game and said he "knew the hitting streak would end sooner or later."

"I just would have preferred later," he said with a laugh. "It was fun though."

When Crews made an out in his last chance at the plate, his teammates congratulated him in the dugout. In the clubhouse after the game, he seemed unbothered by the streak ending.

"There's nothing scientific about it, that's for sure," Brews manager Cujo Jones said of Crews's streak. "He had a nice little run. Let him start another one when we finish the series here."

Thus far this season, Crews has hit .261 with 18 home runs, 50 RBIs and scored 82 times.

September 4 - Dave Cregger of the Goodneighbor Hancocks announced his retirement from Commonwealth Baseball Organization today. The 38-year-old veteran told reporters that he has enjoyed his time playing ball, but that it is time for someone else to have a shot.

"It's a young man's game," Cregger said, "and I'm not a young man anymore."

Over his career Cregger has a 62-91 won-lost record with a 4.72 ERA. In 449 games he has recorded 7 saves, and the 38-year-old has fanned 872 batters in 1467.1 innings.

September 4 - The Slog Ghouls starter Gray Waalk was unhittable at Beantown Brewery Stadium.

Waalk beat the County Crossing Bloodbugs, 6-0, breezing through the Bloodbugs lineup en route to a no-hitter.

"I thought Gray started off a little slow and was struggling with his command at first," Ghouls manager Melvin Ceja said later. "He lucked his way through the early innings, and they helped him out by not being patient. Eventually, it all came together for him, and from there on the Bloodbugs never had a chance. He dominated them."

Waalk struck out 11 batters and issued 3 walks in the performance.

On the year, Waalk has compiled a 9-6 mark with a 2.81 ERA.

September 8 - The Slog's slew of injuries may make them thankful that they missed the playoffs. In the last four days, all of Zap Mast (.306/23/81), Hammer Longball (.218/31/79), and now Buzzcut McDonald (18-7, 2.52) have been shut down for the season. The Ghouls are not officially eliminated, but they are four back of the last wildcard spot with four games to play. They need both Malden and Easy Town to lose the rest, while they have to win the rest, with the tiebreaker determining if they would be the 6th seed. We do not foresee any of that happening and think the Ghouls would benefit from offseason rest for its stars.

September 8 - The season will end prematurely for Nauseous Revere, the Fort Hagen shortstop. He suffered a strained anterior cruciate ligament on 09/04/2320, an injury that is serious enough to knock him out of action for the rest of the year. Revere was not available for comment.

This year, Revere has hit at a .294 pace and produced 35 RBIs, 13 home runs and scored 54 runs.

CBO Records

With the new 144-game season, there was sure to be plenty of records broken, especially in stats like games played, games started, innings pitched, etc., which are indicators of more games played in a season. Here are the season records tied or broken with plenty in pitching.

Games Played: 143 - Four players: Marl Moriarty, Bunker Hill; Brenn Bell, Spectacle Island; Deez Phantom, Egret; and Shane Powers, Egret; The Top 100 are all now from 2320.

WAR: 11.88 - Paul Stains, Salem; Previous: 8.89 - Paul Stains, 2310

Interesting stats not broken - Shutouts. The record is six (Beachboy Nut, 2301; Emperry Alizm, 2308). For sure with all the no-hitters and shutouts, someone would break that record, right? Not right. The 2320 high was three by three different players: Josh Brown (Atom), Baker Dozen (FHE) who had two no-hitters, and Macho Lopez (Diamond City). Paul Stains led the league in complete games (11), but only had two shutouts.

How good was Nuke Laloosh's 2303 season? Now that several of Laloosh's records have fallen, let us consider how dominant he was in 2303. As partially seen above, Laloosh led the league that season in ERA (1.73), WHIP (0.89), BB/9 (1.2), BABIP (.240), BRA/9 (8.1), K/BB (5.7), Win % (.867), QS % (.870), and Shutouts (2). He had injuries that held him to just 23 starts, finishing 13-2 on the season for Roxbury in a title season.

At 39, Laloosh is still going strong, and he is among the all-time leaders in wins (240, 5th), complete games (68, 5th-tied), strikeouts (2904, 5th), BB/9 (2.10, 5th), and WAR (101.36, 2nd).

NEBL Awards

PL Hitter - Billy Coon took New England Baseball League by storm this year, and he did it all at the age of 25.

For his spectacular campaign, the Worcester Cannons star has been named the 2320 Patriot League Most Valuable Player Award recipient.

"To be considered amongst the best in the league is overwhelming," said the first baseman.

On the season he compiled a .379 batting average to go with a .460 on-base percentage. The native of Dudley, Massachusetts also added 13 doubles, 1 triple, 30 home runs, 73 RBIs and 52 runs scored.

He received 23 first place votes out of a possible 32. Serious Sam Biggs of the Newton Behemoths finished second in voting with 9 first place votes, while Peace Nixon of the Brockton Irish finished third.

PL Starter - What does it take to win the Pitcher of the Year Award?

Just ask Garth Fitzgerald V of the Pawtucket Pips -- the latest Patriot League Pitcher of the Year Award winner.

"My dad always told me to dream big and dream always," he said. "It's not like I shoot for the Pitcher of the Year Award," he said. "I have big aspirations for what I want to do in this game and what I want to achieve in a long career."

The Pips pitching ace made some of his dreams come true this year, winning 7 games and losing only 8. In 22 starts, Fitzgerald V registered a 2.50 ERA and limited other clubs to a .237 batting average. He fanned 119 in 155 innings and issued 35 walks.

He received 21 first place votes out of a possible 32. Keverne Cosgrove of the Worcester Cannons finished second in voting with 9 first place votes, while Bunter Mayberry of the New Haven Champions finished third.

PL Reliever - Punchy Jones said he thinks hitters often underestimate him, as he's only 21 years old.

But he'll certainly be getting a lot more respect now, as the Worcester Cannons rising star has won the Patriot League Reliever of the Year Award for 2320.

He captured the award on the strength of his 0.99 ERA over 45.1 innings. He also had 22 saves in 38 relief appearances, 25 strikeouts and only 9 walks.

He received 27 first place votes out of a possible 32. Reece Kennedy of the Hartford Melonheads finished second in voting with 4 first place votes, while Bareil Antos of the Waterbury Cola Kings finished third.

YL Reliever - The manager of the Lowell Sentry Bots said he always had confidence handing the ball to Dogface Houghton out of the bullpen.

The 22-year-old was a dominant performer all year for Lowell and his efforts have been rewarded with the Yankee League Reliever of the Year Award for 2320.

The bullpen ace had an impressive 0.77 ERA this season, with 20 saves in 31 relief appearances. He fanned 32 batters in 35 innings and sported a record of 2 wins and no losses.

LL Hitter - Lloyd Cook, the talented Medford right fielder, certainly made his name known among Legends League hurlers this season.

He may only be 22, but it will be hard to top the right fielder's 2320 campaign, as he has been named the winner of the Stars League Hitter of the Year Award.

His winning campaign featured a .318 batting average and a .431 on-base percentage this year. In 68 games he piled up 74 hits, 19 doubles, 1 triple, 6 home runs, 25 RBIs and 42 runs scored.

Playoff History: Cambridge 1, Starlight 0

2318 - Association Semifinal - #5 Cambridge 3, #1 Starlight 1

Preview

While Cambridge came out on top of the season series, 6-4, five of the 10 games were settled in extra innings, meaning this series could have been much different with just one more run here or there. Team pages show the stat comparisons:

Starlight

Cambridge

Just two seasons ago, the Killers entered the playoffs as the #1 overall seed, while the Coursers were the #5 seed and entering the playoffs for just the second time in team history. In the end, Cambridge downed the Killers in the Association Round and then #3 Lexington on their way to the Sole Survivor Series. Diamond City defeated Cambridge there, 4 games to 2.

This marks the Coursers fourth playoff appearance and third-straight. Starlight is appearing for the 12th time overall with their last appearance in 2318.

Prediction

The Killers' pitching is better than Cambridge's, giving them the clear advantage. We like Cambridge to take a game in this series, but we feel that Starlight is currently the better team. Starlight 2, Cambridge 1

#5 Nahant Celtics (79-65) vs #4 Easy Town Assaultrons (80-64)

Season Series: Easy Town 5, Nahant 5

May 14-16 @Nah: Nah 12-3, Nah 5-4, Nah 7-1
July 16-18 @Nah: ET 7-6, ET 8-3, Nah 2-0
September 9-12 @ET: Nah 3-0, ET 12-2, ET 4-1, ET 5-0

Playoff History: First Meeting

Preview

The 2320 schedule is quite different. With the new schedule, most league matchups have a 6-4 home-away split. In the case of the Assaultrons and Celtics, the first time they played each other was in Easy Town was in the last weekend of the season. The first two series were played in Nahant.

Looking at the results of the split series, it was streaky with win streaks of 3-2-2-3 to determine the final 5-5 total. Statistically, as we are comparing below, the Trons have the definitive advantage in runs scored (2nd vs Nahant's 7th) and runs allowed (2nd vs Nahant's 11th).

Nahant

Easy Town

In the history of the CBO, this is only the second season (2317) that both Easy Town and Nahant have been in the playoffs in the same season. The Celtics' last appearance was also in 2317. This is their first meeting. Part of the problem in never meeting is that this is the Celtics' fifth total trip to the playoffs not counting 2296 when they reached the first but unofficial Sole Survivor Series. Nahant made the Sole Survivor Series officially in 2313 as the first #6 seed to do so, falling 4 games to 3 to Atom.

The Assaultrons are making their 11th playoff appearance, including 5 of the past 6 seasons. That includes Sole Survivor Series trips in 2316, 2317, and 2319 with a title in 2317. The Trons have been to four Sole Survivor Series overall, with the first coming in a loss to Goodneighbor in 2298.

Prediction

The three-time NCA champions in the last four seasons against a team that has been to the playoffs only four times. One of the best statistically-solid teams in the CBO. The team that has the CBO's best player in Eden Babz. We think this will be an easy one for the Trons. Easy Town 2, Nahant 0

SCA Playoffs: Wildcard Round

#6 Roxbury Rad Sox (77-67) vs #3 Atom Cats (87-57)

Season Series: Roxbury 5, Atom 1

May 31-June 2 @Rox: Rox 5-4, Rox 7-6, Rox 2-0
August 10-12 @Atom: Rox 3-1, Atom 3-0, Rox 9-4

Playoff History: Roxbury 1, Atom 0

2304 - Association Semifinal - #1 Roxbury 3, #5 Atom 0

Preview

Roxbury absolutely rocked Atom in the season series, winning 5 of 6. SP Fang Storm (2-0, 0.63, 14.1 IP) had two of those victories, and he would be the Game 3 starter should the teams go that far. He would face off with K-9 Creep (0-2, 2.02, 13.1 IP). The Cats' Josh Brown (0-2, 11.74, 7.2 IP) fared much worse; he is the Game 2 starter.

The Rad Sox's pitching was not great outside of their series success over Atom. Roxbury was 9th in runs allowed and 10th in Starters ERA compared to 3rd and 3rd for the Cats. Atom was slightly better in runs scored, too (3rd vs the Sox's 5th). See team pages below for more statistical comparisons.

Roxbury

Atom

Roxbury is making its 10th playoff appearance but first since 2312. In fact, all nine of the Sox's previous appearances were from 2302-2312 with Sole Survivor Series appearances five times: 2303-2304, 2306-2307, and 2311. The Rad Sox won the title in 2303, 2304, and 2311. One of their series wins was a sweep of the #5 Cats.

Both Atom and Roxbury were in the playoffs at the same time from 2302-2305, though that was their only matchup. The Cats were out early in that four-year span, though they did make their first Sole Survivor Series in their first playoff season, 2301.

From 2313-this season, Atom has now made the playoffs seven seasons, all seasons, except for this one, that the Sox missed the playoffs. The Cats have made two total Sole Survivor Series appearances, appearing again in 2313 when they defeated Nahant.

Prediction

While the Sox dominated the season series and were super hot at the end to get into the playoffs, the Cats were super hot to move into the 3rd seed. Overall, Atom is a more talented team and has a lot more recent success. Roxbury is an up-and-coming team with some exciting young talent, like RF Bix Bimbleman (.279/26/80). However, the Cats have been here and are still a team we think could win the championship in 2320. Atom 2, Roxbury 1

Playoff History: Egret 1, Diamond City 0

2319 - Association Semifinal - #6 Egret 3, #2 Diamond City 0

Preview

The last two champions of the CBO face off in a matchup where the winner gets to pursue a championship and the loser gets to lick their wounds. If the regular season matters, Diamond City took care of business, winning 8 of their 12 matchups in what was the best scheduling decision by the CBO, matching these two teams as the 12-game series in the Railroad League. Every other league series for the teams was a 10-gamer.

In a season where pitching dominated, the Swatters again proved to have the best pitching staff, actually making them the team most likely to come out on top at the end of the season. Diamond City proved that by finishing 1st in runs allowed and Starters ERA. With Macho Lopez, the likely Vim! Pitcher Award winner, Black Red, and one of the all-time greats in 31-year-old Heaven Fontenot, the Swatters pitching staff is difficult to score on.

Egret is only slightly better than the Swatters on offense, ranked 6th in runs scored versus tied for 7th for Diamond City. For pitching, Egret is OK but did allow the 8th fewest runs with the 5th best Starters ERA. More stats to look at for the teams in their home pages below:

Egret

Diamond City

This is the Ninjas' 8th appearance in the playoffs and Diamond City's 15th. However, this is only the third time that both teams have been in the playoffs the same season. Those three were the last three seasons, 2318-2320. They met last season on the way to Egret's incredible playoff run on their way to their first Sole Survivor Series appearance and victory.

The Swatters cannot be too shook up about facing the defending champions. Last season, when they were swept in the Association Semifinals, Diamond City was the defending champions. In all, the Swatters have been to the Sole Survivor Series three times, all championships: 2299-2300, 2318. They are the only team in the CBO that is undefeated in the Sole Survivor Series with more than one appearance. The only other teams undefeated in the Sole Survivor Series have all appeared only once: Goodneighbor (2298), Bunker Hill (2308), The Slog (2314), Egret (2319).

Prediction

The last two defending champions meeting in the Wildcard Round makes this the most interesting of series. Despite Egret's 2319 run, they are behind the Swatters in terms of overall talent. Diamond City is probably thinking revenge, looking to do what the Ninjas did to them last season. We think they will succeed. Diamond City 2, Egret 0

Roxbury used a clutch at-bat from Honker Trinkl to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Rad Sox ahead, 2-1. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger.

Game 1: Diamond City 4, Egret 3

Lopez, Swatters Take Dramatic Game 1 for 1-0 Series Lead

The Diamond City Swatters started the Wildcard Round in dramatic fashion, stealing Game 1 from the Egret Ninjas in a walk-off in the 10th inning. Diamond City took the 4-3 win thanks in large part to a good day from starter Macho Lopez. The right-hander threw 7.0 innings of 4-hit ball in the win, which gave the Swatters a 1-0 lead to start the best-of-3 series.

The decisive blow was delivered by Early Duvet in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a run-scoring double off 27-year old left-handed pitcher Kunz Hoffmann to win the game for Diamond City. The home crowd went nuts.

"There's no quit in this team," said Swatters manager A-Juan Rodriguez.

The next game is set to be played tomorrow at The Great Green Jewel in Boston.

2319 - Championship Series - #2 Easy Town 4, #4 Fort Hagen 2

Analysis

Fort Hagen was a team that generally took care of business against bad teams but struggled at times against good teams. That can be seen in the season series against Easy Town with the two teams splitting their six-game series. The teams went back and forth, each getting a few large wins, so the season series does not tell us much other than it is a smart bet that it goes all five games.

This series also features the NCA's two best teams all-around statistically. The Silver Shroud wrapped around the Trons' 2nd-rank in runs for and against by finishing 1st in runs scored and 3rd in runs against.

Offensively, LF Innis Sark was the team MVP, finishing as one of only 15 players in the CBO with 30 or more home runs and one of 11 players with 85 or more runs batted in. Interestingly, the Shroud finished 7th in home runs, one of their lowest stats.

On the mound, the Fort Hagen benefited most from a dominant bullpen, finishing with a 2.85 ERA. The starters were 11th in ERA, giving us pause in predicting the Shroud to win it all. Booker Wood was the best all-around pitcher, finishing 15-8 with a 3.00 ERA. Nuke Laloosh moves to the bullpen for the playoffs. Some speculate he may call it quits after this season. A championship would help make that decision.

Looking at the playoff history between these two teams, they are the series of teams that have met most in the postseason of all the four matchups in 2320. Most interesting is that this will mark the Assaultrons and Silver Shroud's fifth meeting. Every season that both Easy Town and the Shroud have been in the playoffs the same season has resulted in them facing each other. Twice, this series was for the right to move on to the Sole Survivor Series. The Trons won both times, including a season ago when they downed Fort Hagen, 4 games to 2, before falling to Egret in the Sole Survivor Series.

Prediction

The Silver Shroud are the #1 seed for a reason, being consistent throughout the season. Easy Town has had its ups and downs, but have only had one losing month: April (13-14). That also is consistency. The Trons are a good hitting team that knows how to work the bases, which could be overpowering for the Shroud starting rotation. In the end, we like Easy Town to go all the way to the Sole Survivor Series for the 4th time in 5 seasons. Easy Town 3, Fort Hagen 2

Playoff History: First Meeting

Analysis

Two of the original expansion franchises from 2310 meet for the first time in the playoffs, with this season marking the fourth time in recent seasons that they are in the playoffs simultaneously. Cambridge is making its fourth playoff tripe (2316, 2318-2320), while Malden is in its fifth appearance (2315-2317, 2319-2320). The Coursers advanced to the Sole Survivor Series just two seasons ago, which could be telling in this series.

In the regular season, the Grognaks held a slight edge, winning 4 of the 6 matchups. All four victories for Malden came through late wins with four relief pitchers earning the victories. For Cambridge, Scooter Yaghmour and Toon Alljet both had two outstanding starts apiece but had no decisions between them. Yaghmour had a 1.80 ERA in 15.0 innings, to go along with 19 strikeouts.

Malden statistically is slightly better than the Coursers. The Naks were 4th in runs scored (compared to 5th for Cambridge) and 5th in runs allowed (compared to tied for 7th for Cambridge. The Grognaks' best features statistically was finishing 2nd in OBP, which means that they put themselves in position to score runs.

Malden did not have anyone who stood out individually on offense, but every player contributed. Despite not qualifying statistically, Lance Tinter led the team in average in 107 games played. Phantom Vargas was the leader in homers, and Floren Habern was the RBI and stolen bases leader.

On the mound, starters were decent for the Grognaks and again slightly ahead of Cambridge in ERA (5th to 7th). Ace Ahsoka Tano (4-5, 2.39) has a great ERA but has seen limited action in 2320. He is currently experiencing shoulder issues that may limit him or leave him out of action entirely. Vault Boy Barnette (12-3, 3.55) or Hrye Caje (12-13, 3.83) could fill in for Tano if he is unable to go.

Prediction

We feel that the Grognaks are the better team and should win the series. At the same time, the Coursers have experienced more recent success in making a deep playoff run. Malden was in the NCA Championship Series in both 2316 and 2317, though, falling to Easy Town both times. In the end, we are tossing a coin and going with the team that would host Game 5.

Playoff History: Diamond City 1, Southie 0

2318 - Championship Series - #1 Diamond City 4, #2 Southie 3

Analysis

If we asked the average reader what seeds each team is in this #1 vs #4 matchup, they would probably guess Diamond City as the #1 seed. Looking at the talent of the teams and typical success, that would be a good guess. However, this season has been anything but typical with the Brews sitting with the CBO's top record of 93-51.

With that stated, 5 of the Brews' 51 losses came against the Swatters. Diamond City was the only team that they had a losing record against in the SCA, so there could be some psychological advantages for the Swatters entering this series.

Statistically, this matchup features the SCA's top offense (Southie) against the top pitching staff (Diamond City). The Brews have earned their #1 seed by leading in almost all offensive categories. Seven of the eight regular hitters hit 15 or more home runs, helping Southie to the CBO-best with 206. Mikita Sato was the best overall hitter, finishing 1st in homers (30), 2nd in average (.253), and 4th in RBI (65) while batting from the 8th spot.

Pitching is a tale of two squads for the Brews. Southie finished 4th in runs scored, to go along with the top Bullpen ERA (2.26). However, the starters ranked 13th in ERA (3.75), indicating the mythological Achilles heel. The trade for Arcade Anderson (5-2, 2.57 since joining Southie) may have solved the problem. He struggled with Quincy, but was getting especially frustrated that he was piling up losses in good outings, including losing three straight when allowing only two or fewer runs. Of his 16 losses with the Granites, nine came when he allowed three or fewer runs. Anderson's addition to the lineup puts less pressure on Jobe Christie (17-10, 3.52) and Orel Hershey (20-7, 3.74).

Two seasons ago, both the Swatters and Southie met for the first time in the playoffs. Diamond City ended up wining the SCA Championship Series, where they went on to defeat Cambridge for their third overall Sole Survivor Series championship. As noted in the Wildcard Round previews, the Swatters are the only team to be undefeated in the Sole Survivor Series with more than one appearance. Southie is making just its second playoff appearance in team history. For the record, here are the multi-SSS teams and their records, in alphabetical order, of all 22 official Series:

Atom 1-1
County Crossing 1-1
Diamond City 3-0
Easy Town 1-3
Fort Hagen 1-3
Nordhagen Beach 4-3
Oberland 0-2
Quincy 1-2
Roxbury 3-2
University Point 2-1
Vault 81 1-1

One-timers:
Bunker Hill 1-0
Cambridge 0-1
Egret 1-0
Goodneighbor 1-0
Lexington 0-1
Nahant 0-1
The Slog 1-0

Prediction

The Brews have played well all season and earned their spot as the top seed. Diamond City appeared to be the top seed at one point, but a poor stretch at the beginning of August dropped them to 2nd place in the Railroad League and then another poor stretch in September dropped them to the #4 seed. When playing Southie, though, the Swatters looked to have a team they knew how to beat. We'll take the experience over the up-and-coming team. Diamond City 3, Southie 1

SCA: #6 Roxbury Rad Sox (77-67) vs #2 FHE Yao Guai (91-53)

Season Series: FHE 5, Roxbury 5

April 29-May 2 @Rox: FHE 3-2, Rox 6-2, FHE 5-4, FHE 6-4
June 4-6 @FHE: Rox 6-5, Rox 9-5, FHE 7-6
July 30-August 1 @FHE: Rox 4-0, FHE 4-3, Rox 2-1

Playoff History: First Meeting

Analysis

The regular season matchups between #2 FHE and #6 Roxbury were good ones with just three matchups being decided by more than two runs. In fact, six of the 10 games were decided by just a run in this Railroad League battle.

For the Yao Guai, they are masters of none statistically, but great all-around, finishing second in the SCA in both runs scored and runs allowed, beaten only by the two teams in the other matchup for the top spots. The only place that FHE does not have any statistical advantages over Roxbury appears to be in base running, where Missile Crews (49 steals) is the only great runner on the team. No one else had more than three stolen bases.

Phil Brodie (.322/30/101) should be in the Nuka Hitter Award conversation in the SCA. He led the SCA in 12 offensive categories, making him the clear favorite. Lots of other players contributed offensively, especially Crews, Brass Well, and Bowen Marsh, making the top of the lineup a hard chem to inject for opposing pitchers.

On the mound, the Yao Guai are likely to get the season sweep on top awards since there is little debate about Lane Phrasemaker (20-3, 1.67) being the favorite for the Vim! Pitcher Award. Only the Swatters' Macho Lopez seems to be serious competition there. Interestingly, Phrasemaker's 20 wins fell just five shy of his father, Blaine's, 25 career wins over six seasons from 2296-2300 with County Crossing, Finch Farm, and Diamond City. He finished 25-52. Baker Dozen also had a great season, setting the CBO record for no-hitters in a season (2) and career (3).

It is hard to believe that this is the first meeting between two Railroad League rivals, but it is even harder to believe this season marks just the third time both teams have been in the playoffs in the same season. The other two times were 2303 and 2311.

The Yao Guai have not been a winning team, but they have been much better since Piper Wright purchased the team. In FHE's eight total appearances, seven of them have come in the last decade: 2311, 2313-2314, 2317-2320. This marks the fourth-straight season they are here.

Roxbury has had a lot more success overall with 2302-2312 making up all of it. This is the Rad Sox's first trip to the playoffs since 2312 with their last playoff series victory coming in the 2311 Sole Survivor Series. That one had marked their fifth appearance and third championship. Other appearances came in 2303-2304 and 2306-2307 with victories in 2303 and 2304.

Prediction

We like how hot the Sox have been at the end of the year to break their playoff drought. At the same time, we think that FHE is the obviously better team, despite the Rad Sox playing them tightly in the regular season. In the end, we feel that the Yao Guai will overpower Roxbury. FHE 3, Roxbury 1

CBO Special Report: Moe Cronin Passes Away

It is with sad news that we report owner Moe Cronin, founder of Swatters, Inc., baseball equipment and one of the original founders of the Commonwealth Baseball Organization. He died losing a bet that he could take a direct blow to the chest from the 2077 World Series bat. His body was recovered 500 yards from original impact.

The league will take over operations of the team while a new owner is sought. The Swatters play against the #1 seed Southie Brews in Southie starting tomorrow. Players and team officials were informed and stated that they would operate with business as usual.

Cronin came into original commissioner, Nate Howard's, wheelhouse in 2287 when Nate first visited Diamond City and visited Cronin's shop near third base in The Great Green Jewel. Cronin had reported that Howard was the first person to call him a "dumbass" when Cronin was not aware of how the original baseball game was played. Cronin believed that baseball was more of a gladiator's game where baseball bats, which Cronin called "Swattas," were used to bludgeon opponents. Once Cronin learned the real game of baseball, he accepted that his original Swatters would last longer than being used as weapons. He thus founded the team based on his company.

StLee Hall Of Famer Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: NC Posts: 5,265	July 2320 BNN Report News from the CBO, Minors, CCBL, and CYL by Nat Wright-Kawolski 1 July 2320 The July 1 Super Post CBO Top Performances Hitting - Alvie Alvintzi was never a star coming out as a 5th-round pick in the 2315 draft out of Brown, but he has been an efficient player in his years leading up to this one. On June 7, the Far Harbor trade acquisition from County Crossing, had a day. In a 12-5 victory for the Fog over Oberland, Alvintzi went 4 for 4 with two home runs, a walk, three runs, and six RBI to lead his team. The six RBI stands as the Far harbor record for now. Pitching - What happened to the no-hitters? June was a ho-hum pitching month with the best score being an 89, with three players tying for the 19th-highest pitching game score on the season. Spectacle Island's Meribrand Docybuck did it first on June 16 in a won over Vault 81. On June 29, Cambridge's Malik Watts scored an 89 in a win over Far Harbor. Yesterday, Lexington's Deedee Martinson was the third 89 score in a Synths win over Nordhagen Beach. Stats below: Docybuck - 8.0 IP, 4 HA, 0 R, 15 K (season high Ks in the CBO) Watts - 9.0 IP, 4 HA, 0 R, 2 BB, 12 K Martinson - 9.0 IP, 3 HA, 0 R, 1 BB, 9 K CBO Players of the Month NCA Hitter - Salem Witch Hats fans believe they've got a talented young star in A'Trey-U Jones. He did nothing to dissuade that notion in June, as he hit .316 with 13 home runs, 23 RBIs and 16 runs scored. The end result was the first baseman being named the North Charles Association Batter of the Month. To date this season, Jones is hitting .250 with 31 home runs. SCA Hitter - At only 23 years of age, Bix Bimbleman could very well have many more months like this last one during his career. That would be great news for fans of the Roxbury Rad Sox, as June was one to remember for the right fielder and he has captured the South Charles Association Batter of the Month award. On the month he hit .319 with 8 home runs, 19 RBIs and 19 runs scored. This year, Bimbleman has hit at a .288 clip with 49 RBIs, 19 home runs and 43 runs scored. NCA Pitcher - It was a monstrous June for the North Charles Association Pitcher of the Month award winner, Zachariah Budd of the Starlight Killers. He put up some mighty scary numbers. Budd recorded 4 wins and no losses in 7 starts. Throwing a total of 54.2 innings, he yielded 34 hits, mowed down 38 on strikes, gave up 15 walks and put up a solid ERA of 1.15 in a stellar month on the mound. So far this season, Budd has a 9-5 record with a 2.57 ERA. SCA Pitcher - June's elite pitcher was Lane Phrasemaker of FHE. He silenced South Charles Association hitters the entire month and claimed the Pitcher of the Month award with 4 wins and no losses in 7 starts. Phrasemaker restricted opposing hitters to a .145 batting average. He rang up 65 strikeouts in 54.1 innings of work, surrendered 16 walks and crafted a 0.66 ERA. This year, Phrasemaker has compiled a 13-3 mark with a 1.58 ERA. NCA Rookie - When it came to hitting the baseball, A'Trey-U Jones had few peers in the North Charles Association last month. The gifted first baseman for Salem tagged opposing pitchers for a .316 average and was voted the Rookie of the Month for June. Included in his stats were 31 hits, 13 homers, 16 runs scored and 23 RBIs. This year, Jones is hitting .250 with 31 home runs. SCA Rookie - Charlie Bone made a lot of Cape Cod fans happy this month. He not only put up a fine 2-0 won-lost record, he also was named the Rookie of the Month in the South Charles Association. In June, he made 0 starts and compiled an impressive 2.57 ERA, allowing teams to hit only .146 against him. This season, Bone has made 29 relief appearances, saving 15. His record is 3-3 with 49 strikeouts in 34.1 innings and a 3.15 ERA. NEBL Analysis NEBL Players of the Month PL Hitter - Ro Laren, the Nashua right fielder, certainly made a name for himself this past month. He banged out a .435 batting average with 27 hits, 3 home runs, 15 RBIs and scored 16 times. That kind of hitting earned him the Patriot League Batter of the Month honors for June. This year, Laren has 7 home runs and a .345 batting average. YL Hitter - It's perhaps an award he'll win many more times through his career, as at age 22 Fred Chicken has a lot of baseball ahead of him. But for now the young Fall River Rippers star can enjoy the numbers he put up in June, which have garnered him the nod as the Yankee League Batter of the Month. His breakout month featured a .398 average with 5 home runs, 20 RBIs and 21 runs scored. Chicken is hitting .308 in 2320 with 36 RBIs and 10 home runs. PL Pitcher - Last month was a very successful month for D'Jasper Probincrux III of Fairfield. So successful that he has been honored as the Pitcher of the Month in the Patriot League. Probincrux III shut down league hitters in fine fashion, rounding out June with an impressive 5-0 mark and 2.23 ERA in 6 starts with 25 strikeouts in 44.1 innings. Thus far this season, Probincrux III has posted a 9-4 record, started 15 games, struck out 47 batters in 96 innings and compiled a 3.75 ERA. YL Pitcher - June's best hurler was Callum Metcalfe of Warwick. He overwhelmed YL hitters all month long and captured the Pitcher of the Month award as he collected a 4-1 record in 6 starts. The 20-year-old Metcalfe added 27 strikeouts in 45.2 innings and 9 walks to his season record and compiled a 0.79 ERA. Other clubs hit .228 against him. This season, Metcalfe has compiled a 6-4 record with a 2.57 ERA in 11 starts. MML Analysis MML Players of the Month LL Hitter - Even though he is a newcomer to Massachusetts Minor League, Thunder Bassett put up some good numbers in June and earned the LL Batter of the Month award. He was one of Marlborough's offensive leaders with a .345 average in 24 games. He also racked up 5 home runs, 18 RBIs, and 18 runs scored. So far this year, Bassett has hit .362 with 6 home runs, 19 RBIs and 21 runs scored. SL Hitter - Billerica shortstop Kane Krant certainly turned heads in June with some impressive numbers. He batted .342 for the month and was voted the Stars League Batter of the Month award. He banged 9 home runs, collected 22 RBIs, scored 15 times and put up a .395 on-base percentage. This season, Krant is hitting .318 with 13 home runs. LL Pitcher - A 3-1 record with a 1.69 ERA is a good month for most any pitcher. The Legends League thought it was worthy of an award and named Abernathy Samuelson, starter for the Woburn Bobbleheads, June's Pitcher of the Month. He also held the opposition to a .195 average while posting 34 strikeouts in 48 innings. This year, Samuelson has fashioned a 5-3 mark, 2.87 ERA and pitched 75.1 innings. Opposing clubs are batting .225 against him and he has logged 53 strikeouts. SL Pitcher - In June, when the name of Grassy Voigt appeared on the Braintree lineup card it was a virtual lock on a victory. He started 5 times and chalked up 4 wins and no losses. With those stats it was also a virtual lock that he would be named the Stars League Pitcher of the Month. Voigt shackled opposing batters on 28 base hits and a .197 batting average. He rang up 23 strikeouts in 40.1 innings of work, surrendered 7 walks and fashioned a sparkling 2.23 ERA. This season, Voigt has compiled a 5-7 mark with a 3.15 ERA in 15 starts. BMU Analysis BMU Players of the Month CA Hitter - Bangor Fort Knights fans may just have witnessed a star player blossoming before their eyes in June. Cha Cha Cobb put up a remarkable month at the age of 21 and has been named the Commonwealth Association Batter of the Month. For the month, Cobb hit .320 with 8 home runs, 18 RBIs and 17 runs scored. Cobb is swinging at a .289 pace on the year with 9 home runs, 25 RBIs and 25 runs scored. He has played in 43 games. MA Hitter - Not known for his offensive prowess, Stinky Milner set the league afire in June and took home the Massachusetts Association Batter of the Month award. The Foxborough second baseman posted a steady .378 batting average, 4 home runs, 19 RBIs and 15 runs. Currently Milner has 4 home runs and a .331 batting average. CA Pitcher - Rip Brown of the Fitchburg Finches was on top of his game the entire month of June, capping it off with the Commonwealth Association Pitcher of the Month honors. He was outstanding in 5 starts with 4 wins and no losses, 40 IP, 32 strikeouts and a fine 2.25 ERA. His record this year is 11-0 in 14 starts and Brown has a 2.75 ERA. MA Pitcher - Shelton starter Philiberto Jesuskin really put the chill on opposing teams in June and today was acclaimed the Massachusetts Association Pitcher of the Month. He excelled with a 4-0 mark and 1.66 ERA in 5 starts. In 38 innings, he fanned 22 and walked 17. This year, Jesuskin has compiled a 8-2 mark with a 2.80 ERA in 13 starts. GBRL Analysis GBRL Players of the Month HL Hitter - For a rookie just breaking in, Cathal MacMahon certainly put together a successful month. It was good enough to win the HL Batter of the Month award for June. The 19-year-old left fielder for the Augusta Harpooners hit .425 with 9 home runs, 23 RBIs and 30 runs scored. So far this season, MacMahon is hitting .366 with 22 home runs, 54 RBIs and 74 runs scored. He has 83 hits in 227 at-bats and a .517 OBP. SL Hitter - Taco Dobson may be much younger than other hitters in the Saviors League, but he performed like a seasoned veteran in June to win the Batter of the Month award. The 19-year-old Coventry center fielder hit .432 with 12 home runs, 26 RBIs and 28 runs scored. For the year, Dobson is hitting .336 with 27 home runs. His stats include 59 RBI and 54 runs scored. HL Pitcher - June's #1 hurler was Darby Wheeler of Hingham. He gunned down Heroes League hitters the whole month and claimed the Pitcher of the Month award. The AntAgonizers star piled up 3 wins and 1 loss to take the honor. The 20-year-old Wheeler added 37 strikeouts in 33.1 innings and 9 walks to his season record and compiled a 2.16 ERA. Other clubs hit .198 against him. On the season, Wheeler has a 9-2 record with a 4.38 ERA. SL Pitcher - In June when Amherst Bashers reliever Derby Howell was beckoned in from the bullpen, it spelled "Relief" with a capital "R." He usually put a very quick end to any budding rallies. For his sensational mound work he was voted the Saviors League Pitcher of the Month. The Amherst reliever had 3 saves for the month with a 3-0 record and 0.00 ERA. He made 10 relief appearances, hurled 12.2 innings, yielded 9 hits, fanned 18 and walked 4. Howell has nailed down 9 saves to date. In 32 innings he has fanned 44 batters and walked 14. His pitching record is 3 wins and 2 losses with a 2.25 ERA. VHRL Analysis Another regular season is in the books, and the playoffs will begin in a couple of days.

At the age of 15, many players are still trying to find their way in Commonwealth Youth League. Beerson has not only found his way, he's already established himself as one of the game's brightest stars, today being named the winner of the North Region Slugger Supreme Award. "I didn't expect to hit .436 this year, that's for sure," the third baseman said. The North Charles Bank Goonies star also put up a .551 on-base percentage this year, with 72 hits, 11 doubles, no triples, 9 home runs, 44 RBIs and 35 runs scored.

It's a startling thought when you consider the year he had in 2320 was good enough to win the left fielder the South Region Slugger Supreme Award. "See the ball, hit the ball," he said. "That's my basic approach." The top hitter put up a .392 batting average this year, as well as a .514 on-base percentage. He played 46 games and racked up 69 hits, 8 doubles, 2 triples, 25 home runs, 67 RBIs and 50 runs scored. He received 144 first place votes, as a unanimous winner.

His teammates and manager said he had a poised demeanor about him that was typical of someone much older and more experienced. His poise has paid off, as the 16-year-old turned in a sparkling season and has been named the winner of the North Region Shutdown Specialist Award for 2320. The Mont Vernon, New Hampshire native won the award with no saves in 20 relief appearances, 42 strikeouts in 25.1 innings and a record of 1-1 to go with his 0.36 ERA.

But he'll certainly be getting a lot more respect now, as the Truro Hatchlings rising star has won the South Region Shutdown Specialist Award for 2320. He captured the award on the strength of his 0.42 ERA over 21.2 innings. He also had 8 saves in 18 relief appearances, 26 strikeouts and only 4 walks.

StLee Hall Of Famer Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: NC Posts: 5,265	July 2320 BNN Report News from the CBO, Minors, CCBL, and CYL by Nat Wright-Kawolski 5 July 2320 All-Star Break: Cambridge, Diamond City Lead Way We have made it to the All-Star Break for the 2320 season with the Cambridge Coursers and Diamond City Swatters possessing the top two records in the CBO. The Coursers have been one of the hottest teams, pushing them past Malden and now up by seven games over them for NCA league leaders. The Grognaks and Atom Cats are equally cold, having gone 2-8 in their last 10 and pushing them both out of #1 seed contention for now. The Cats also are no longer sole leaders in the Minutemen League. On the race for the #1 pick, the Nuka World Thrills now lead the charge, losing their last 11 to push them to the CBO's worst record. Providence and Far Harbor join the Thrills in teams with fewer than 30 wins entering the All-Star Break. Here are the current team power rankings for Commonwealth Baseball Organization: Teams (Total Points, Tendency): 1) Cambridge Coursers (125.2, ++) 2) FHE Yao Guai (124.1, ++) 3) Diamond City Swatters (115.9, -) 4) Bunker Hill 75ers (114.8, ++) 5) Southie Brews (110.7, o) 6) Concord Radstags (103.3, +) 7) Egret Ninjas (103.0, ++) 8) Atom Cats (102.1, --) 9) Nahant Celtics (101.2, ++) 10) Salem Witch Hats (100.5, ++) 11) Fort Hagen Silver Shroud (99.8, --) 12) Roxbury Rad Sox (96.2, ++) 13) Malden Grognaks (95.4, --) 14) Easy Town Assaultrons (95.1, --) 15) County Crossing Bloodbugs (93.9, +) 16) The Slog Ghouls (93.2, --) 17) Oberland T-51s (92.5, --) 18) Glowing Sea Radscorpions (91.1, --) 19) University Point Deathclaws (90.1, --) 20) Vault 81 Dwellers (90.1, -) 21) Starlight Killers (85.8, o) 22) Lexington Synths (83.6, ++) 23) Jamaica Plain Red Rockets (80.7, o) 24) Goodneighbor Hancocks (78.5, -) 25) Spectacle Island Reapers (77.3, ++) 26) Sunshine Tidings Chemists (75.3, -) 27) Cape Cod Mirelurks (74.2, o) 28) Quincy Granites (71.2, --) 29) Nordhagen Beach Party Boys (70.1, o) 30) Providence Super Mutants (59.4, +) 31) Far Harbor Fog (51.9, -) 32) Nuka World Thrills (38.2, -) Brotherhood League For awhile, it looked as though the Grognaks would run away with the BL title. Now, after their 2-8 bumbling and fumbling before the break, Malden has to re-strategize. That's because four teams are now within 3.5 games of them, starting at 2 back and in increments of a half-game. Those four teams are Salem, The Slog, Easy Town, and Nahant, in order. County Crossing has been hot at 8-2, tying them with the Coursers and Bunker Hill for the second-best stretch in their last 10. The Bloodbugs are now in 6th at a game under .500. Nordhagen Beach and the Fog round out the final two spots. The Celtics have never been a successful team from their days on Finch Farm to their home in Nahant. The team has four official trips to the playoffs since 2298 with the last coming as the 5th seed in 2317. We are not so sure they are there yet this season, but at 43-40, the Celtics are in the race. Nahant is tied for 8th in runs scored (336) and 12th in runs allowed (340), so statistically they have a record better than their overall performance. Tommy Tanks (.269/16/44) has appeared to have taken on the role as the team leader, leading in average and RBI and tied for the team lead in home runs with Good Breath Supply and Pip Prowler. On the mound, ace Carter Hall (6-6, 2.73) has enjoyed success after converting from closer (62 saves in the past two seasons). SP Saracen Hottel (7-4, 3.87) has contributed to the pitching efforts. Institute League Cambridge has not had the best stretch in their own league, but they have solidified themselves as the best team. On a six-game winning streak, the 75ers are now in 2nd place, six back of the Coursers, followed by Fort Hagen at 7 back. Concord, which had been on a 12-game winning streak before dropping their game yesterday to Lexington, is the hottest team in the NCA, now 9 back. For the teams below .500, Starlight, the Synths, Sunshine Tidings, and Nuka World round out the IL standings. Lexington has been a playoff team six of the past seven seasons, including last season when they won the IL regular season crown. This season's team does not appear to have what it takes, though. Offense is the biggest reason why, with the Synths 15th in runs scored (276). CF Dude Lebowski (.285/14/44) is the only player standing out on offense for a fully healthy team. Lexington is a bit better off with its pitching, tied for 3rd in runs allowed (301), thanks to the best bullpen ERA (2.66). Saint O'Fender (5-10, 2.85) gets little runs support. 40-year-old Deedee Martinson (9-8, 3.16) is still slinging it. CL Hunter Kim (27 SV, 1.77) is tied with Egret's Pin Tell for the CBO lead in saves. At the current pace of saves, both Kim and Tell would set a new saves record. They would also be on a record pace if the season were still 130 games. Minutemen League As mentioned, Atom has been cold and Southie has been hot, leading to the teams tied for 1st, though the Cats have a better winning percentage (.595 vs .593). University Point is the only other ML team above .500 at 43-42. The rest of the ML can start preparing for the 2321 season. In order, they are Jamaica Plain, Goodneighbor, Spectacle Island, and a tie between Quincy and Cape Cod. Just four years ago, the Granites were champions and back-to-back participants in the Sole Survivor Series in 2316 and 2317. Now, they are in danger of finishing in last place in the ML for the third-straight season despite it being an expansion year. Hitting has been decent with Quincy 5th in runs scored (321). The middle of the order--LF Noah Sandell (.243/16/47), 2B Will Hell (.251/14/45), and C Moon Ducote (.269/12/40)--are powering their offensive push. On the mound, the Granites give up a lot of runs (357 for 14th in the SCA). Ace SP Arcade Anderson (4-14, 3.92) has been frustrated in his second CBO season after being the 2nd overall pick out of Northeastern in 2318. In his last four starts, he has given up six total earned runs, all Quincy losses. Of his four victories, three came when he allowed no earned runs. Railroad League The Swatters may have the best record in the SCA at 52-31, but they have the CBO's hottest team on their tails. At 9-1 in their last 10, including a current nine-game winning streak, FHE is now 2.5 back of Diamond City. Egret has been good at 7-3 in their last 10 to sit solidly in 3rd, two up on Oberland and three up on Glowing Sea. Roxbury is three games over .500 for 6th place, followed closely by Vault 81. Providence is 14 games behind the Dwellers and will definitely finish in 8th place. The defending champions are not out of it, but at this point, the Ninjas will have to win in the same way they did in 2319: as a low seed. Statistically, they are mostly in the top half, at 8th in runs scored (307) and 6th in runs allowed (303). 1B Deez Phantom (.285/14/43) and 3B Shane Powers (.254/20/56) power the offense. On the mound, the top three starters all have ERAs below 4.00: Mike Searocker (9-5, 3.21), Hub Purdue (8-7, 3.11), and Big Dog Monaghan (9-8, 3.23). Tell (27 SV, 1.47), as mentioned in the Lexington feature, is on pace to top the single-season saves record. CBO Standings CBO Players of the Week June 28 - What's in a number? In baseball, just about everything. The numbers that The Slog's Hammer Longball put up last week were the envy of the league, as Longball came away with North Charles Association Player of the Week honors. He belted out 9 hits in 21 at-bats, 5 home runs and 8 RBIs last week as he posted his .429 batting average. Thus far this year, Longball has hit .236 with 18 home runs and 52 RBIs. His hard work and hustle paid off this week. The hard-working and hard-playing Hugo Steadymaster was rewarded with the South Charles Association Player of the Week honors. The scrappy Egret Ninjas catcher hit .444 while collecting 8 hits in 18 at-bats, 3 home runs and 7 RBIs. This year, Steadymaster has hit at a .322 pace and produced 14 RBIs, 5 home runs and scored 13 runs. July 5 - Paper Mills must have thought he died and went to heaven this week. First he went on a remarkable batting rampage, hammering the ball at a .417 clip, then the Concord shortstop finds out he has been voted the league's top performer and gets the NCA Player of the Week Award. For the week Mills batted .417 (10-for-24) with 3 home runs and 12 RBIs. In his season totals Mills has 8 home runs and a .245 batting average. 23-year-old Hunter Lacoste sent shock waves through Commonwealth Baseball Organization last week with an eye-popping performance that brought him the South Charles Association Player of the Week Award. A newcomer to the league, Lacoste made the establishment sit up and take notice, punishing opposing pitchers with a .560 average, 14 hits in 25 at-bats, 1 home run and 4 runs batted in. Where the Providence Super Mutants first baseman goes from here, only the baseball gods know for sure, but Lacoste certainly made his mark last week. This season, Lacoste is swinging the bat at a .268 rate with 71 hits in 265 at-bats. To date he has hit 7 home runs, scored 31 runs and driven in 24. CBO Noteworthy News June 22 - With the mid-season mark upon us, now is a great time to update the pre-season BNN Top 100 Prospect list with what we have learned to this point. This year, 20 year-old RF Shalvey O'Doherty of the Sunshine Tidings Chemists is the #1 prospect overall. Here is the top 10: 1) RF Shalvey O'Doherty, 20, Sunshine Tidings Chemists 2) LHP Eye Anson, 22, Nordhagen Beach Party Boys 3) RF Aesop Hayjen, 18, Atom Cats 4) CF Viper Kowalski, 18, Nordhagen Beach Party Boys 5) LF Old Blue Sandoval, 21, Quincy Granites 6) RHP Graham Cracker Fontenot, 21, Nuka World Thrills 7) LHP Gray Waalk, 23, The Slog Ghouls 8) CF Randall Marcus, 21, Bunker Hill 75ers 9) SS Qing Baker, 20, University Point Deathclaws 10) RF Booger McTarberry, 20, Spectacle Island Reapers June 25 - Diamond City Swatters right fielder Teng Dgebuadze has been suspended 4 games in conjunction with his ejection yesterday for arguing a third-strike call in the Vault 81 game at CURIE Inc. Field. Dgebuadze did not immediately return to the dugout and continued to yell and scream at the home plate umpire. The league said it will not condone this type of conduct and issued the suspension. In 70 games this season, Dgebuadze has batted at a .199 pace with 47 hits and 6 home runs. June 29 - It came down to the last hour of a self-imposed trade deadline, but the Providence Super Mutants and Jamaica Plain Red Rockets finally came to an agreement on a trade that had been rumored for weeks. The trade sends Providence's 32-year old 3B Dathomirian Zabrak to Jamaica Plain in a swap for 27-year old 1B Sheedy Smith. Both GMs seemed relieved that the deal had been completed with one stating, "We had to set a deadline to get it done." The players are expected to report to their new teams by tomorrow. Zabrak is currently hitting at a .197 pace with 3 home runs and 18 RBIs. Smith has collected 6 hits for the Super Mutants this year, 0 of them home runs. He has also netted 4 RBIs and scored 2 runs while batting .140. July 2 - Esau Babz accomplished one of the rarer feats in baseball when he hit for the cycle against the Fort Hagen Silver Shroud in the 9-2 Bunker Hill 75ers win at Battle of Bunker Hill Memorial Stadium. Afterward, Babz acknowledged that his accomplishment was special, but said he was more interested in helping the 75ers win. "Maybe one day I'll look back on this with more meaning, but right now I just want to go out tomorrow and put some good swings on the ball and help my club win another game," Babz said. On his historic day, he went 4-for-4 with 2 RBI and 4 runs scored -- and also got a spot in the history books. Esau Babz hit a solo-shot off Alex Mazique in the 1st, doubled in the 4th, singled in the 5th, hit an RBI triple in the 7th and walked in the 8th. So far this year, Babz is batting .288 with 14 home runs, 31 RBIs and 30 runs scored. July 4 - In a hastily called press conference, Sunshine Tidings announced today a trade with The Slog that will send 27-year old 2B Mai Malaman to the Ghouls in exchange for 22-year old minor league C Wu-ji Zhuan. All players are expected to be in their respective new cities in time for today's games. So far this season, Malaman is hitting .283 with 4 home runs. July 4 - BNN has learned the Nuka World Thrills have reportedly worked out a deal with the County Crossing Bloodbugs. Sources close to the Thrills indicated that a trade has been reached in principle where 19-year old minor league 1B Zak Doyle and 23-year old minor league LHP Horan Gibson will be swapped to Nuka World with 37-year old RHP Jason Tonelli heading to County Crossing. Neither organization would comment on the report, saying it was club policy not to speak about a trade until it was finalized. This season, Tonelli has made 24 relief appearances, recorded 1 save and compiled a 1-4 won-lost mark and a 8.17 ERA. In pitching 54 innings, he has totaled 54 strikeouts and 22 walks. July 5 - Spectacle Island's Meribrand Docybuck had the top strikeout performance on the season with 15 on June 16 against Vault 81. At the All-Star Break, we also discovered that Docybuck is on a record strikeout pace, currently at 11.204 per 9 innings pitched. The record was set in 2309 by Jason Tonelli (who was involved in a trade reported just above this blurb) with a 10.997 rate. Tonelli has three of the top four rates, having 10.867 K/9 in 2307 and 10.681 in 2308. Mike Cartrette was the original owner of the record, getting a rate of 10.841 in 2299.

StLee Hall Of Famer Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: NC Posts: 5,265	July 2320 BNN Report News from the CBO, Minors, CCBL, and CYL by Nat Wright-Kawolski 12 July 2320 CBO All-Star Game All-Star Game Result The North Charles Association All-Stars reigned supreme tonight at Super Mutants Stadium, with a 10-9 triumph over the South Charles Association All-Stars. North Charles Association third baseman Tommy Tanks led the way for the winning club, putting up a 2-for-2 mark to earn game MVP honors. "We had some fun out there," he said. "We've got a great league and a great team and I'm not surprised we won." In 143 career games Tanks has batted .269 with 138 hits with 25 doubles, 3 triples and 23 home runs. He has also collected 75 RBIs and scored 71 runs. Home Run Derby The 2320 Home Run Challenge had some fierce competition, but coming out the victor was A'Trey-U Jones, the slugging first baseman from the Salem Witch Hats. He bested Hammer Longball in the final round by a score of 6-5. "I just wanted to put on a show for the fans," he said as he hoisted the championship trophy. "They wanted home runs, and I was happy to deliver for them." VHRL Playoffs For the Montpelier Monarchs, it was a joyful time; for the Conway Pinehawks, it was gloom and doom. With a 4-0 win at Monarchs Stadium, Montpelier closed out the championship 2-1 over Conway. The Monarchs have now won their 1st league championship in franchise history. The streets around the Monarchs' stadium were a mob scene, filling quickly with fans, while banners and flags were held high and waved proudly. "It's unbelievable for us, our great fans, and all of Montpelier," said a smiling owner The owner of the Montpelier Monarchs. "The guys really put their heart and soul into this season and it paid off for them." In a somewhat somber and dejected Pinehawks clubhouse, manager Turtle Susanti said his team "just didn't get the job done." "The Monarchs played as good as any team I've seen and deserve to be champions," he said. The champs finished the regular season 27-26 and claimed second place in the VerHamp Rookie League. __________________ Fan of LSU sports (especially baseball and football), New Orleans Saints, New Orleans Pelicans, and Atlanta Braves (Dale Murphy for the HOF!).

StLee Hall Of Famer Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: NC Posts: 5,265	July 2320 BNN Report News from the CBO, Minors, CCBL, and CYL by Nat Wright-Kawolski 19 July 2320 Post All-Star Break Clarity as We Approach 100 Games Ten CBO teams have reached 50 or more wins, including one 50-win team behind in the standings for a 49-win team. The number 50 seems to be the edge where we can anticipate the haves and have-nots just 12 days before the trading deadline. Cambridge and Diamond City are still atop their associations, while Nuka World retains the #1 overall pick in the 2320 Draft. Here are the current team power rankings for Commonwealth Baseball Organization: Teams (Total Points, Tendency): 1) Diamond City Swatters (123.4, ++) 2) FHE Yao Guai (115.4, o) 3) Cambridge Coursers (113.8, o) 4) Atom Cats (113.4, o) 5) Southie Brews (111.0, --) 6) Malden Grognaks (107.4, ++) 7) Fort Hagen Silver Shroud (103.6, -) 8) Bunker Hill 75ers (99.6, -) 9) Vault 81 Dwellers (98.0, ++) 10) Oberland T-51s (97.8, ++) 11) Sunshine Tidings Chemists (97.0, ++) 12) County Crossing Bloodbugs (97.0, +) 13) Easy Town Assaultrons (95.7, -) 14) Jamaica Plain Red Rockets (92.1, +) 15) Egret Ninjas (91.8, --) 16) Starlight Killers (91.0, +) 17) Lexington Synths (90.0, -) 18) Concord Radstags (89.9, --) 19) Nahant Celtics (89.0, +) 20) University Point Deathclaws (89.0, -) 21) The Slog Ghouls (89.0, +) 22) Roxbury Rad Sox (85.0, --) 23) Salem Witch Hats (83.9, --) 24) Glowing Sea Radscorpions (80.1, o) 25) Quincy Granites (79.7, ++) 26) Cape Cod Mirelurks (79.5, -) 27) Spectacle Island Reapers (79.5, -) 28) Goodneighbor Hancocks (76.6, -) 29) Nordhagen Beach Party Boys (72.4, -) 30) Providence Super Mutants (57.2, +) 31) Nuka World Thrills (47.4, o) 32) Far Harbor Fog (46.1, -) Current playoff seedings: NCA 1. Cambridge 2. Malden 3. Fort Hagen 4. Bunker Hill 5. Easy Town 6. Concord SCA 1. Diamond City 2. Atom (.602 winning percentage over Sou - .600) 3. FHE 4. Southie 5. Egret (.5384 winning percentage over Obe - .5376) 6. Oberland Brotherhood League Malden looked as though they would lose their lead in the BL, but a current five-game winning streak has pushed them three up on Easy Town. The Slog and County Crossing are both 4.5 back, with Salem 5 back, and Nahant 5.5 back for teams still in the playoff hunt. Nordhagen Beach is solidly in 7th at 13 back with Far Harbor on its way to 8th at 22.5 back. The Party Boys do not party like they used to. After 15-straight playoff appearances and four Sole Survivor Series wins from 2298-2312, this season will mark the eighth year in a row out of the playoffs after their stars aged out. Now, just a few remnants of goodness are hanging around, and they may be dealt soon. The Boys are 10th in runs scored (357) and 14th in runs allowed (405). Leading the way on offense are 1B Peter LaCock (.308/16/53) and C Knees Arrowhead (.309/8/38). On the mound, ace SP Home Plate Day (8-12, 3.51) has been OK. Petie Pembroke (2-3, 2.47), as mentioned in the Noteworthy News section, has been promoted from CL to SP. He has gone 1-0 in three starts since the switch. Next season, prospects Eye Anson (4-1, 4.57) with Springfield (NEBL) and Grassy Voigt (5-9 3.51) with Braintree (BMU) are expected to also be in the rotation, which could boost Nordhagen Beach. They just need to find some exciting bats to join them. Institute League The Coursers continue to maintain a comfortable lead in the IL with the five-game difference in their record and Fort Hagen marking the CBO's largest league lead. Bunker Hill is a game back of the Silver Shroud, with Concord rounding out teams over .500. Starlight, Sunshine Tidings, and Lexington are not out of it, but they may need to either be buyers or sellers soon. The Chemists traded away long-time star, Family Sam Partridge, to Oberland, so they appear to be sellers. The Thrills hold the CBO's worst record. For the Killers, they should also consider selling. While they are just two years separated from winning the IL in 2318, Starlight needs to find hitters to help them win games. The Killers are 14th in runs scored (321) with every offensive category in the bottom half of rankings except stolen bases (8th at 48). SS Axe Dillworth (.264/6/37) leads the team in average in what is typically a hitter-friendly park. 1B Waterbug Grant (.258/16/33) and RF DJ Shark (.226/16/41) lead in homers. On the mound, the Killers are killing it, ranked 1st in runs allowed (289) and Starters ERA (2.45). Mercury Morris (9-8, 1.83) is in the Vim! Pitcher Award running despite his terrible run support leading to a so-so record. Sturdy Woodman (11-3, 2.17) and Zachariah Budd (9-6, 2.72) also are doing great. CL Tenacious Jenkins (23 SV, 1.16) has been dominant in the bullpen. Minutemen League Atom and Southie are in a battle with the rest of the league fading away to insignificance at .500 or below. University Point and Jamaica Plain are hovering around .500, but they need to win a lot of games quickly to even approach the overloaded Railroad League teams. All of Goodneighbor, Cape Cod, Spectacle Island, and Quincy can think about next year. The Mirelurks started really poorly, finishing their first month 6-20, but they have been decent since then (35-33), including going 18-10 in June. The Hancocks keep thinking they are on the precipice of the playoffs, but then they fade away. This season is no different. Goodneighbor is 13th in runs scored (327) and 10th in runs allowed (351), showing this season is pretty much lost again. 1B Zed Zded (.238/21/55) and RF Wind Dale Davis (.301/16/47) are the leaders on offense. On the mound, both SPs Jared Porch (7-7, 2.63) and Jules Alder (5-7, 2.62) are pitching well without run support. CL Kell George (23 SV, 3.54) has been decent. "We can shake it up a little, / We can kick it up a notch, / We can put it on the grill, / you can show me what you got." Railroad League FHE came on with a vengeance to try to surpass Diamond City, but the Swatters have now won six-straight to pull to a 2.5-game lead. Egret and Oberland are both on top of each other for 3rd and 4th place, respectively. Vault 81 has been a bit better as of late, pushing them to 5th, while Roxbury and Glowing Sea have dropped in the standings. Providence went 4-6 in their last 10 to pull themselves out of the #1 overall pick discussion for the moment. Roxbury, like the Hancocks, cannot quite find the playoff formula. Assuming they do not go on a huge run, this will mark their 8th-straight season out of the playoffs after having been one of the better franchises in the early part of the century, especially from 2302-2311 when they won three Sole Survivor Series. Now, Roxbury just cannot separate itself from other teams to win consistently. The Sox are 7th in runs scored (352) and 9th in runs allowed (347). Two players hitting well are RF Bix Bimbleman (.284/20/51) and 1B Honker Trinkl (.269/27/64). On the mound, Daley Hayes (6-8, 3.21) has the best ERA. CL Sparkler Guenot (23 SV, 0.74) has been great when given save opportunities, converting at 95.8%. CBO Standings CBO Players of the Week July 12 - What's in a number? In baseball, just about everything. The numbers that Concord's Jannar Arbor put up last week were the envy of the league, as Arbor came away with North Charles Association Player of the Week honors. He belted out 6 hits in 13 at-bats, 4 home runs and 5 RBIs last week as he posted his .462 batting average. This year, Arbor is hitting .261, produced 48 RBIs and 22 home runs, scored 45 times and gotten on base at a .312 rate. Southie fans have something to crow about today as Southie right fielder Clean Blake Dean nabbed the South Charles Association Player of the Week Award for his performance over the last seven days. "I know there are times when it's hard to lay off pitches. Everyone goes through stretches when he's too eager to put the ball in play. You know, though, I feel like this past week I was able to get in the right frame of mind and just let things come naturally," said Dean. He posted a .455 average (5-for-11) this past week with 2 home runs, 6 RBIs, and 2 runs scored. Dean is hitting .211 for the season with 12 home runs, 44 RBIs and 34 runs scored. He has 63 hits in 299 at-bats and played in 88 games. July 19 - This week's premier performer in the North Charles Association was third baseman Jacob Tarberry of the Malden Grognaks. He banged out a .600 average and was voted the Player of the Week. Over the last week Tarberry socked 9 hits in 15 at-bats and 1 home run, drove in 7 runs and scored 5 times. This year, Tarberry is batting .245 with 4 home runs and 30 RBIs. In 66 games he has scored 24 times. Earthwind More demonstrated his potential to be a star in the game last week and today he took home the South Charles Association Player of the Week Award. The Cape Cod first baseman wreaked havoc on opposing pitchers last week, pounding them for a .647 average (11-for-17) with 2 home runs and 3 RBIs on his way to claiming the honor. This year, More is batting .296 with 5 home runs and 14 RBIs. CBO Noteworthy News July 6 - The Roxbury Rad Sox have finalized a deal that will send 23-year old minor league 3B Kyran Thompson and 23-year old minor league LF Aureli Barczynski to Quincy for 32-year old RHP Phil Pearlman. Minor details still need to be worked out before the trade becomes official, but the players involved are expected to be with their new clubs soon. This season, Pearlman has worked 111 innings with 75 strikeouts en route to a 8-7 record and a 4.22 ERA. July 7 - The Nordhagen Beach Party Boys are looking to shake up their pitching staff after the All-Star Break, announcing that closer Petie Pembroke (9 SV, 2.83) would be moving into a starting role. Taking his place will be current SP Mister Burns (4-11, 4.88) in a rare midseason role swap. Nordhagen pitching coach Brent Hooker, who knows a thing or two about pitching in the CBO (140-147, 4.43 in 22 CBO seasons), said that the change was necessary because former 1st-round pick Pembroke (15th overall in the 2313 Draft by Diamond City) is "ready." "I see what he can do," Hooker said, "and I wanted to see some of that potential become reality. It has. He needs to start for this team for our future success." Pembroke is expected to get his first start on July 9 against Nuka World. July 9 - After prolonged negotiations Atom agreed to ship 19-year old minor league 2B Average Joe Wilson, 19-year old minor league LF Blur McDaniel, and 22-year old minor league RHP Mik Eggs to Nordhagen Beach for 24-year old RF Tengiz Svarudze. The deal is awaiting confirmation from the league office but neither team expects any hang-ups. "It took longer than expected," said one GM, "but we knew that the deal was going to happen." So far this year, Svarudze is batting .266 with 10 home runs. July 17 - It's being reported in the Sunshine Tidings press that the Chemists have traded 31-year old LF Family Sam Partridge and a 5th round draft pick to the Oberland T-51s for 24-year old minor league 2B Money Bhatti, 23-year old 1B Dorek Lesniak, 21-year old minor league LF Thunder Bassett, and 25-year old LF Sascha Foss. However, there is no confirmation by the two ball clubs. So far this season, Partridge is batting .269 with 20 home runs. This season, Foss has 12 home runs and a .218 batting average.

"There's no more money here," McGovern said. "With the trains running and no train station nearby, we cannot compete with other settlements." The Chemists are still alive in the playoff race, but McGovern has indicated that the team has to offload some of its upper-level players since they are paid more caps. The CBO pay system is directly tied to OSA Scouting Reports. "I am open to sell. I need some money in my senior years. Owning this team is not doing that for me." Trade Deadline Nears The trade deadline is this Saturday, and there are a few named players already on the move. We will update those trades in next Monday's update, but we can now tell you some teams looking to build in the future and those seeking a Sole Survivor Series championship in 2320. Active Sellers: Concord, Far Harbor, Lexington, Sunshine Tidings Active Buyers: Atom, Diamond City, Fort Hagen, Nahant, Oberland, The Slog BMU Analysis The regular season has come and gone in the Boston Minor Union and the playoffs are just over the horizon. One pitch, one play, one hit, one error -- or one call -- could decide it. This is what all the teams are playing for -- the ultimate goal -- the Boston Minor Series crown. The quest for the Boston Minor Union Boston Minor Series championship gets underway today. The regular season is now over and the so-called "second season" begins. For fan and player alike this is the sweetest part of the season -- the Association Finals. The baseball experts have made their predictions, but teams will do it or die on the diamond. The best team doesn't always win -- sometimes it's the lucky team that is fated to win the crown -- sometimes it's the team that gets hot late in the season that wins -- and sometimes talent wins out and takes the glory. The winner will be one of these teams: Finch Farm Four Leafs vs Clifton Vertibirds and Meriden Attack Dogs vs Rockland Snipers. GBRL Analysis Get ready for some baseball! The playoffs are here! For those clubs fortunate enough to make the postseason, baseball's second season is just beginning. But for the majority of players and teams, today is the first day of a long offseason. Clubs in the playoffs have begun preparation for their upcoming showdowns to determine the 2320 Greater Boston Rookie League champions. The best teams will go at it "tooth and nail" for the Round 2 crown and it all gets started in just a few days. From spring training to the last out of the regular season, it has been the goal of every GM, team, manager and player to reach the Greater Boston Rookie League playoffs. They all aspire to win baseball's Holy Grail, the Round 2 title. Now, for the elite teams, the first steps of that journey begin in earnest with the Round 1 starting today. The opening playoff series will pit these teams against one another: Abernathy Adamantium vs Dalton Farm Fog Crawlers and Cherry Ghoulrillas vs Trumbull Glow Sox.

StLee Hall Of Famer Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: NC Posts: 5,265	August 2320 BNN Report News from the CBO, Minors, CCBL, and CYL by Nat Wright-Kawolski 12 August 2320 The August Super Post, Part 2 NEBL Standings The New England Baseball League regular season is over. The good clubs that made the playoffs are headed back to the ballparks to determine the league's top team, while the other teams can be found on the first tee, half-heartedly enjoying the offseason with mixed emotions. It's playoff time, when the best teams play one another with the ultimate prize at stake -- the New England Series championship. The regular season has ended and anxiety is starting to rise around the clubhouses still harboring championship aspirations. The playoffs begin today, the final sprint to the finish line and the time when great players earn their fame, when average players get a shot at immortality, and when rookies look to make their name. Some dread it and some relish it, but everyone who dreams of playing in New England Baseball League wants to have a once-in-a-lifetime shot at championship glory. The 2320 League Championships kicks off today with these exciting matchups: Newton Behemoths vs Springfield Operators and Lowell Sentry Bots vs West Hartford Alphas. NEBL Players of the Month PL Hitter - When Randall Marcus stepped up to the plate in July he did it with confidence, and today he was honored with the Patriot League Batter of the Month award. The young Nashua center fielder posted a .375 batting average with 8 home runs, 18 RBIs and scored 24 runs. Marcus also worked pitchers for 15 walks to post a .469 on-base percentage. This year, Marcus is hitting .328 with 9 home runs and 19 RBIs in 36 games played. He also boasts an OBP of .429 with 20 walks and 30 runs scored. YL Hitter - At only 22 years of age, Fred Chicken could very well have many more months like this last one during his career. That would be great news for fans of the Fall River Rippers, as July was one to remember for the center fielder and he has captured the Yankee League Batter of the Month award. On the month he hit .429 with 6 home runs, 19 RBIs and 24 runs scored. At the moment, Chicken is batting .346 with 16 home runs and 55 RBIs. He has played in 86 games and scored 64 times. PL Pitcher - Sea Mink hasn't been around long enough to know that youngsters shouldn't be winning Patriot League Pitcher of the Month. But when you put up numbers like his, you're going to get some notice. In July the Nashua starter earned a 4-0 mark in 6 starts. He threw 40.2 innings, struck out 22 and compiled a solid 1.55 ERA. This year, Mink has made 13 starts, thrown 81.1 innings, fanned 53 batters and walked 25. His won-lost record is 6-3 with a 3.43 ERA. YL Pitcher - The top pitcher this past month in the Yankee League was Licky Lichenstein of the Lowell Sentry Bots. He really bewildered league hitters, finishing July with an excellent 4-1 record and 1.45 ERA. The Sentry Bots hurler made 6 starts and surrendered 27 hits in 43.1 innings. He struck out 32 and walked 10. This year, Lichenstein has compiled a 4-2 mark with a 1.89 ERA in 9 starts. MML Standings Close the book on the Massachusetts Minor League regular season. For most of the ballclubs, it's all over except for the crying. Now attention turns to the playoffs. It will be the best against the best to determine the Massachusetts Minor Series champion for 2320. And it all kicks off soon. The all-important second season is about to begin. The Massachusetts Minor League playoffs are here -- so let the games begin! It's time to crown the Massachusetts Minor Series champion for 2320. Now that the regular season has ended and the best ballclubs have been decided, it's playoff time. Any ballplayer worth his salt wants those coveted championship rings. A real ballplayer knows that he needs those little golden treasures to seal his fame in the league annals. The second season is here starting today with some sparkling series on tap: Everett Mutant Hounds vs Arlington Caps and Stratford Pugilists vs Weymouth Cannibals. MML Players of the Month LL Hitter - It's official. BNN writers have voted Tom Harkness of the Chicopee Vans the Legends League Batter of the Month award for July. During the month he recorded a .356 average with 6 home runs, 26 RBIs and 17 runs scored. So far this season, Harkness has recorded a .342 batting average with 50 hits, 7 home runs, 31 RBIs, 26 runs scored and a .458 OBP. SL Hitter - Braintree Robobrains fans believe they've got a talented young star in Olcar Moore. He did nothing to dissuade that notion in July, as he hit .345 with 6 home runs, 12 RBIs and 16 runs scored. The end result was the left fielder being named the Stars League Batter of the Month. This season, Moore is batting .285 with 27 RBIs, 25 runs scored and 12 home runs. LL Pitcher - July's top hurler was Lib Doe of Chicopee. He shackled Legends League hitters the entire month and claimed the Pitcher of the Month award with a sparkling 4-1 mark. The 25-year-old Doe added 24 strikeouts in 45.1 innings and 10 walks to his season record and compiled a 1.99 ERA. Other clubs hit .248 against him. So far this season, Doe has a 8-2 record with a 1.65 ERA. SL Pitcher - Kian Wood has made fans throughout Massachusetts Minor League take notice over the past month with an exceptional 5-0 record. No pitcher in the Stars League threw better in July, garnering him the Pitcher of the Month award today. In 6 starts Wood compiled a 3.07 ERA, putting up a 5-0 record, striking out 31 and tossing 44 innings. In 19 starts this year, Wood has posted 6 wins while suffering 8 losses. He has pitched 129.1 innings, allowed 135 hits, struck out 92 and has a 4.87 ERA. BMU Playoffs With a 7-4 win over the Clifton Vertibirds tonight at Rockland Ball Park, the Rockland Snipers wrapped up their 2nd title in team history. Rockland left little doubt who was the better club. "Team" was the word of the day as the Snipers celebrated the culmination of their banner year in the victors clubhouse following the game. "Hitting, pitching, fielding; those are all things you need to win, but most importantly you need a team, a team that works together toward the same collective goal," said Rockland manager Justin Vertz. "Our players felt that way all year and they played that way. When one guy had an off day, 24 others stepped up their game and filled the void." A jovial mood filled the air as Rockland celebrated into the night. The city's mayor said parade plans were underway and a "huge celebration" in the works. "We're going to celebrate our team, our championship Rockland Snipers," the mayor said. The champions completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Massachusetts Association Downtown Boston Division and a 57-31 record. BMU Players of the Month CA Hitter - Even though he is a newcomer to Boston Minor Union, Liam King put up some good numbers in July and earned the CA Batter of the Month award. He was one of Bangor's offensive leaders with a .333 average in 19 games. He also racked up 5 home runs, 11 RBIs, and 15 runs scored. Currently King is batting .308 with 8 home runs, 20 RBIs and 26 runs scored. MA Hitter - Black Magic Rogers may be much younger than other hitters in the Massachusetts Association, but he performed like a seasoned veteran in July to win the Batter of the Month award. The 22-year-old Meriden left fielder hit .284 with 6 home runs, 13 RBIs and 14 runs scored. Rogers is currently batting .239 with 8 home runs and 20 RBIs. CA Pitcher - There's no doubt that Eyebots starter Parrish Wesman earned his Commonwealth Association Pitcher of the Month award. He left absolutely no room for doubt as he mowed his way through the opposition in July. During the month Wesman was 4-0 with a 3.18 ERA. He made 5 starts, tossed 34 innings and had 30 strikeouts. In 9 starts this year, Wesman has recorded a 7-1 record and a 3.03 ERA. MA Pitcher - The Pitcher of the Month for July has been picked and the Massachusetts Association award went to Rockland hurler, Fergus Tal-Shachar. During the month, Tal-Shachar was impressive with a 0.92 ERA and 4 wins and no losses. In 39 innings he struck out 39 and gave up 25 hits and 4 walks. In 9 starts this season, Tal-Shachar has compiled a 6-1 record and a 1.42 ERA. GBRL Playoffs Sometimes the winner is the one who got the lucky bounces and the lucky calls, and sometimes the winner is just the one who played better. It was the latter case in 2320, as the Abernathy Adamantium topped the Cherry Ghoulrillas 3-1 tonight at Grandchester Mystery Mansion Park to win the Rookie Series. It was the 2nd title in franchise history. "When you play for championships, you have to play better than the team in the other dugout. We did that in this series, and all year. Now we're the best team in baseball," said Abernathy left fielder Acrobat Magee, who was named series MVP. The Adamantium took the series 4-2. The new titleholders completed the regular season with a first-place finish in the Heroes League Danse Division and a 49-39 record. Abernathy manager Lee Duper grinned and nodded when asked to comment on Magee's words. "Acrobat said it best -- we played better than the other team," the skipper said. Hometown officials announced they were already planning a "grand celebration" for the winners in the days to come. GBRL Players of the Month HL Hitter - For a rookie just breaking in, Conor Blueplate certainly put together a successful month. It was good enough to win the HL Batter of the Month award for July. The 22-year-old left fielder for the National Park Gulpers hit .418 with 6 home runs, 21 RBIs and 21 runs scored. So far this year, Blueplate is batting .291 with 11 home runs, 48 RBIs and 52 runs scored. SL Hitter - Not known for his offensive prowess, Darby O'Doherty set the league afire in July and took home the Saviors League Batter of the Month award. The Mayoral Shelter first baseman posted a steady .420 batting average, 9 home runs, 23 RBIs and 17 runs. This year, O'Doherty is batting .449 with 10 home runs. HL Pitcher - Sheridon Carr of the Anglers bewildered opposing batters in July and was honored as the Heroes League Pitcher of the Month earlier today. The Eden Meadows starter sparkled last month with a 3-0 record and 1.16 ERA. He made 4 starts, tossed 23.1 innings and had 30 strikeouts. In 20 starts this season, Carr has registered a 5-5 record and a 4.03 ERA. SL Pitcher - Any time a rookie makes a splash on the scene, it's got to be great for his career potential. Just ask Ox Kapono, who put together a stellar month out of the pen. The Quartz Star Force reliever, 22, kept the opposition off balance all month as he held them to a .257 average and walked away with the Saviors League Pitcher of the Month award for July. Kapono posted a 3-0 mark and a 3.38 ERA in no relief appearances. In 29.1 innings, he had no saves, 29 strikeouts, and 18 walks. This season, he has made 4 relief appearances, collecting no saves. Kapono has worked 40.2 innings, yielding 37 hits and giving out 29 free passes while striking out 42. He has a 5-1 record with a 4.65 ERA. VHRL Awards Hitter - Roarty MacNamara, the talented Montpelier first baseman, certainly made his name known among VerHamp Rookie League hurlers this season. He hammered them for 59 hits, 8 doubles, no triples, 8 home runs, 31 RBIs and scored 22 times. That kind of output made him the choice for VerHamp Rookie League Most Valuable Player Award for 2320. He received 4 first place votes, as a unanimous winner. Wawa Medlock of the Montpelier Monarchs finished second in voting, while Little John Moore of the Lebanon Comets finished third. Player - Team - First Place - Total Points Roarty MacNamara - Montpelier Monarchs - 4 - 56 Wawa Medlock - Montpelier Monarchs - 0 - 36 Little John Moore - Lebanon Comets - 0 - 32 Sham Swamy - Burlington Tridents - 0 - 28 Conor Dixon - Conway Pinehawks - 0 - 24 Serious Shirley - Lebanon Comets - 0 - 19 Scrapper Melton - Lebanon Comets - 0 - 17 Plitha Rybof - Burlington Tridents - 0 - 10 Jay Kitchen - Montpelier Monarchs - 0 - 7 Polly Koch - Conway Pinehawks - 0 - 4 Martin Skovgaard - Conway Pinehawks - 0 - 3 Starter - Mike Cain had a spectacular year for Montpelier in 2320, putting up 3 wins for the Monarchs to walk away with the VerHamp Rookie League Pitcher of the Year Award trophy. He finished the season with a 3-5 mark, 49 strikeouts and a 3.39 ERA. In 12 starts Cain surrendered 55 hits and 28 walks in 58.1 innings on the mound. He received 3 first place votes out of a possible 4. Aaron Akhurst of the Montpelier Monarchs finished second in voting with 1 first place vote, while Suljo Zuzoric of the Burlington Tridents finished third. Player - Team - First Place - Total Points Mike Cain - Montpelier Monarchs - 3 - 25 Aaron Akhurst - Montpelier Monarchs - 1 - 17 Suljo Zuzoric - Burlington Tridents - 0 - 14 Keely Campbell - Burlington Tridents - 0 - 7 Fabien Fabre - Conway Pinehawks - 0 - 4 Gabriel Shuo - Lebanon Comets - 0 - 1 Reliever - Dante Bagby said he thinks hitters often underestimate him, as he's only 21 years old. But he'll certainly be getting a lot more respect now, as the Conway Pinehawks rising star has won the VerHamp Rookie League Reliever of the Year Award for 2320. He captured the award on the strength of his 2.25 ERA over 40 innings. He also had 6 saves in 25 relief appearances, 58 strikeouts and only 18 walks. He received 4 first place votes, as a unanimous winner. Walt Clawhorn of the Montpelier Monarchs finished second in voting, while Meany Walsh of the Conway Pinehawks finished third. Player - Team - First Place - Total Points Dante Bagby - Conway Pinehawks - 4 - 20 Walt Clawhorn - Montpelier Monarchs - 0 - 8 Meany Walsh - Conway Pinehawks - 0 - 8 Attached Images __________________ Fan of LSU sports (especially baseball and football), New Orleans Saints, New Orleans Pelicans, and Atlanta Braves (Dale Murphy for the HOF!).

StLee Hall Of Famer Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: NC Posts: 5,265	August 2320 BNN Report News from the CBO, Minors, CCBL, and CYL by Nat Wright-Kawolski 16 August 2320 All Four Leagues Change Leaders We must be in the middle of the Pennant Chase. Two weeks ago in our update, league leaders in order of BL through RL were Malden, Cambridge, Atom, and Diamond City. Now, none of those four teams lead their leagues. The new leaders are Nahant, Fort Hagen, Southie, and FHE. The Brews have won 10 straight. The Silver Shroud have won nine in a row. Here are the current team power rankings for Commonwealth Baseball Organization: Teams (Total Points, Tendency): 1) Southie Brews (133.4, o) 2) Fort Hagen Silver Shroud (120.7, ++) 3) FHE Yao Guai (118.6, -) 4) Oberland T-51s (114.2, ++) 5) Nahant Celtics (112.2, o) 6) Bunker Hill 75ers (111.5, ++) 7) Starlight Killers (107.8, ++) 8) Diamond City Swatters (105.8, -) 9) Easy Town Assaultrons (105.2, -) 10) Egret Ninjas (99.8, --) 11) County Crossing Bloodbugs (98.8, ++) 12) Malden Grognaks (97.9, --) 13) Vault 81 Dwellers (97.5, ++) 14) Atom Cats (95.3, --) 15) Concord Radstags (94.3, -) 16) Jamaica Plain Red Rockets (93.0, ++) 17) Cambridge Coursers (90.3, --) 18) Roxbury Rad Sox (90.1, --) 19) The Slog Ghouls (90.0, ++) 20) Salem Witch Hats (83.7, +) 21) Goodneighbor Hancocks (81.8, -) 22) Sunshine Tidings Chemists (80.6, --) 23) University Point Deathclaws (80.2, o) 24) Glowing Sea Radscorpions (79.8, +) 25) Cape Cod Mirelurks (71.7, +) 26) Nordhagen Beach Party Boys (71.7, --) 27) Spectacle Island Reapers (69.3, ++) 28) Lexington Synths (65.8, -) 29) Providence Super Mutants (65.0, ++) 30) Quincy Granites (62.0, -) 31) Far Harbor Fog (53.9, -) 32) Nuka World Thrills (53.5, --) Current playoff seeds: NCA 1. Fort Hagen 2. Nahant 3. Bunker Hill (.564 winning percentage over Cambridge - .563) 4. Cambridge 5. Malden 6. Easy Town ---------- 7. Starlight 8. County Crossing 9. The Slog 10. Concord 11. Sunshine Tidings 12. Salem SCA 1. FHE 2. Southie 3. Diamond City 4. Atom 5. Oberland 6. Egret --------- 7. Vault 81 8. Roxbury 9. Jamaica Plain Brotherhood League At 11-1 in their last 12 games, the Celtics are one of the hottest teams in the CBO. With Malden going 5-5 in their last 10, that has allowed Nahant to take over 1st place. Easy Town is a half-game behind the Grognaks, followed by County Crossing as the last BL team above .500. The Slog and Salem are still in the playoff race, while Nordhagen Beach and Far Harbor are not. The Fog is the first team officially eliminated from the playoffs with 24 games to go. The Ghouls statistically should be a playoff-caliber team, currently 3rd in runs scored (495) and 6th in runs allowed (444). Yet, despite a +51 run differential, The Slog has been bad in close games. In one-run games, they are 12-24, only better than Nuka World (12-29) in the NCA. Despite a dominating year by ace Buzzcut McDonald (16-5, 2.36), who may win the Vim! Pitcher Award, the Ghouls may be sitting when the playoffs begin. Nahant is enjoying success right now that they have not had many chances to enjoy. The Celtics have made the playoffs only four times, with 2311 being their only BL crown in the full CBO. Statistically, Nahant should not be in 1st place, so those numbers will need to get much better. The Celtics are 6th in runs scored (490) and 9th in runs allowed (450). The top of the order has been really good from 1-4 in the lineup: Evan Keel (.270/17/44), Good Breath Supply (.212/21/51), Pip Prowler (.248/23/54), and Tommy Tanks (.261/23/63). Ace Carter Hall (12-6, 2.22) is in the Vim! Pitcher Award conversation. Institute League The Shroud have won nine straight after having been on a four-game losing streak earlier in the month. Bunker Hill is on a six-game winning streak with a 7-3 mark in their last 10. Cambridge which had a hold on the IL for a long time, is now 2-8 in their last 10, including a five-game losing streak. In fact, all of the IL is streaky. 4th and 5th place Starlight and Concord are on five and three-game winning streaks, while the next three are on losing streaks: Sunshine Tidings (6), Lexington (4), and Nuka World (3). The Chemists were in the race, but they may be fading away now. With owner Talia McGovern already looking for change, Sunshine Tidings missing the playoffs for the 8th time in nine years may break her. The team is one of the better hitting teams, including leading the NCA in team average (.242) but they cannot turn hits or being the top home run hitting team (166) into enough runs (7th with 488). Pitching is pretty bad but ace McRicky McWilliams (16-8, 3.36) has enjoyed success. There are pretty good prospects in the wings, led by the CBO's top prospect, RF Shalvey O'Doherty. Fort Hagen is currently atop the mountain in the NCA. They are also the team statistically looking as the best. The Shroud are 1st in runs scored (533) and 2nd in runs allowed (411). LF Innis Sark (.295/24/70) is the team leader on offense, with a lot of help from top veteran C Red jay Jones (.259/21/78). Booker Wood (12-5, 2.63) has had the most success on the mound. Minutemen League With their 10-game winning streak, the Brews now own the second-best record in the CBO. Atom has struggled over the last 10, losing 8 to drop them 5.5 back as we get late into the season. They will need a momentum swing to take the ML title. Jamaica Plain is .500 and barely holding on. The rest of the league is out: Goodneighbor, University Point, Cape Cod, Spectacle Island, and Quincy. The Reapers are going to miss the playoffs for the 12th-straight year. Their .407 winning percentage is also their worst since 2314 when they finished 49-81 (.377). The move to Spectacle Island has not been a good one for the former Warwick Mirelurks, and we're not sure what owner Patrick Drumlin will do to make it any better. There is some young talent that could make a difference in time, especially SP Meribrand Docybuck (12-7, 2.69). Finding quality pitching has been tough, and there are no top prospects waiting the in the wings there. The Brews are hot, and they are aching for more with only one playoff appearance in team history (2318 as the ML champions). Southie is 1st in the SCA in runs scored (569), including 1st in six other offensive categories. They are also 1st in Bullpen ERA (2.33). However, they are weak at starting pitcher with the 13th Starters ERA (3.88) and 8th in runs allowed (3.88). The 1st and 8th hitters in the lineup, CF Ditcher Doyle Cobbler (.233/22/58) and 3B Mikita Sato (/.254/25/55) are their top two home run hitters. Pitching acquired Arcade Anderson (6-16, 3.84) from Quincy, hoping he can help boost the team. His biggest problem with the Granites was a lack of run support but his ERA is still too high for all of his talent. Brandon Sparrow (10-5, 2.96) has been the best overall starter. In the bullpen, RP Killian Austin (8-1, 1.81) has picked up a lot of wins in tight games. CL Boots Echenstein (34 SV, 2.63) has been efficient. Railroad League With the Swatters currently down, FHE has taken hold on the RL lead and now has the second-biggest lead at 4 games. Oberland has been super hot, going 9-1 in their past seven, to move to 3rd place in the RL. Egret, Vault 81, and Roxbury are all currently in a battle for the sixth seed. Glowing Sea has been cold, and they can now be considered out of the playoff hunt. Providence has the CBO's 2nd-worst record, one game up on Far Harbor. The Super Mutants should be eliminated from the playoffs today or tomorrow. The Radscorpions have shown for the third-straight season that their short term of success (playoffs: 2313, 2315-2317) was not something that they could sustain. Except for power numbers (2nd with 144) the Scorpions have been atrocious on offense. There could be some more offense coming in if top prospects 2B Master Mazur (#38), 2B Ares Ng (#71), and CF Flash Trout (#78) develop in the offseason. The Yao Guai are now the CBO's top team at 77-43. FHE is likely to make their fourth-straight playoff run, but they have never won the RL. In fact, last season when they finished in 3rd place and four back of Diamond City was the closest they ever finished to 1st. Talent-wise and statistically, the Yao Guai are championship contenders. They are 3rd in runs scored (496) and 2nd in runs allowed (376). 2B Phil Brodie (.319/25/81) is in the Nuka Hitter Award discussion. SP Lane Phrasemaker (19-3, 1.74) is the Vim! Pitcher Award leader. CBO Standings CBO Players of the Week August 9 - When it came to hitting the baseball, Johnboy Zikmund had few peers in the North Charles Association this past week. The talented second baseman for Sunshine Tidings tagged opposing pitchers for a .591 average and was voted the Player of the Week Award. Included in his stats were 13 hits in 22 at-bats, 3 homers, 8 runs scored and 10 RBIs. Zikmund is currently batting .331 with 33 home runs and 79 RBIs. Providence fans have something to crow about today as Providence first baseman Hunter Lacoste nabbed the South Charles Association Player of the Week Award for his performance over the last seven days. "I know there are times when it's hard to lay off pitches. Everyone goes through stretches when he's too eager to put the ball in play. You know, though, I feel like this past week I was able to get in the right frame of mind and just let things come naturally," said Lacoste. He posted a .476 average (10-for-21) this past week with 3 home runs, 6 RBIs, and 7 runs scored. Lacoste is hitting at a .284 mark this season. His stats show 15 home runs, 42 RBIs and 50 runs scored. He has played 105 games for the Super Mutants. August 16 - When it came to hitting the baseball, Henry Hampster was in a class by himself in the North Charles Association this past week. Nobody did it better. The outstanding center fielder for Starlight tagged opposing pitchers for a .500 average and was voted the Player of the Week Award. Included in his stats were 9 hits in 18 at-bats, 3 homers, 7 runs scored and 4 RBIs. For the season, Hampster is batting .204 with 75 hits and 19 home runs. He has scored 40 times and batted in 39. His hard work and hustle paid off this week. The hard-working and hard-playing Missile Crews was rewarded with the South Charles Association Player of the Week honors. The scrappy FHE Yao Guai center fielder hit .500 while collecting 13 hits in 26 at-bats, 1 home run and 6 RBIs. For the year, Crews is hitting .257 with 12 home runs. His stats include 40 RBI and 73 runs scored. CBO Noteworthy News August 6 - After several days of waiting for test results, bad news was delivered to Pin Tell today. The Egret closer will be out the rest of the year due to a damaged elbow ligament he suffered on 08/04/2320. Up to this point in the season, Tell has fashioned a 2-4 won-lost mark, made 47 relief appearances and rung up 33 saves. He has a 2.25 ERA and has allowed 32 hits over his 48 innings of work, struck out 67 batters and walked 14. IAugust 6 - It was a 18-K day for Carter Hall at Tarberry Field Forever, as the Nahant pitcher put on a show to beat the The Slog Ghouls, 2-0. Hall had his good stuff and good location and that was good enough to chalk up a Celtics victory. He gave up 1 hit in the game and issued 1 walk in a strong performance. Currently Hall has a 11-6 won-lost record in 28 starts with a 2.32 ERA. He also has 264 strikeouts in 182.2 innings. Hall set the CBO single-game record for Ks in a game in the season of pitchers. The previous record holders of 17 were Derek Green of Fort Hagen (5 May 2305) and Kyle Gunnels of The Slog (29 April 2309). August 7 - Commonwealth Baseball Organization announced the 2320 amateur draft pool today, a scant 90 days in advance of the actual draft. For scouts, it is the toughest challenge of the season, trying to come up with an educated guess as to what a young man in his late teens or early twenties is going to do at the professional level a good five years down the road, at best. Some will go on gut instincts; some will rely on years of experience; but most will find it disconcerting how much their team is beholden to Lady Luck. Choose well and they are geniuses; choose poorly and they are unemployed. A complete rundown of the draft list is available in the Transactions area for quick reference and will be available 90 days before the draft. The early favorites to be high picks are the following: 1. Mason Brawn, 21 year-old RF out of college. 2. Monster Milam, 21 year-old SS out of college. 3. Deuce Biggerblow, 21 year-old LF out of college. 4. Chris Stainfield, 20 year-old CF out of college. 5. Drew Pondsip, 17 year-old LF out of high-school. 6. Bear Bather, 17 year-old LF out of high-school. 7. Goatee Yoon, 21 year-old SS out of college. 8. Zack Newyorke, 21 year-old 1B out of college. 9. Jack Tatoeater, 17 year-old 1B out of high-school. 10. Bubba Bigfish, 18 year-old 1B out of high-school. August 8 - His County Crossing Bloodbugs teammates were not terribly surprised when Jason Tonelli announced his retirement today. In a low-key affair, Tonelli explained his rationale. "My aches and pains have caught up with me. They don't seem to go away like they used to when I was a kid," he said. "I'm spending more and more time in the trainer's room and less and less time preparing for my next game. I've come to a realization that I've done what I can in this game and spending more time playing baseball is just stealing from my future self." When asked, the team manager noted "Jason has always been an honest man and when he says he's done, well, he's done." Since breaking into the league, Tonelli has compiled a 119-114 mark, pitched in 549 games, been credited with 72 saves and amassed a 4.21 ERA. He has 2221 strikeouts in 2193 innings pitched. August 9 - The active roster limit gets increased today. Teams are allowed to carry up to 40 players until the playoffs start. August 9 - Joe Malone announced his retirement today according to sources inside the Oberland T-51s organization. Malone, who is 37 years old, gave reporters some of his plans for the near future. "I'm going to do a lot of hunting and fishing," he said. "I've always been focused on getting ready for the next season, so maybe now I can slow down and enjoy time away from it all." Malone went back and forth with the press in a friendly manner during his press conference. "I'm sure there's a small-mouth bass out there with my name on it," he said. Malone currently has a career .286 batting average with 1155 hits, good for 50 home runs, 488 RBIs and 471 runs. August 9 - "It's worse than we thought." That was the news from the Granites clubhouse today as it was learned that first baseman Gian Fist will be out for an added one week as a result of a clubhouse incident. His treatment for personal leave - angry with front office will have to be extended. Initially it didn't seem Fist was a major concern, but the Quincy first baseman told team officials that he was sitting out more time. This year, Fist has batted at a .256 pace with 80 hits, 9 home runs, 34 RBIs and scored 63 times. August 14 - Flirt Perez has to call it a season. The Bunker Hill 75ers starting pitcher learned today that the full extent his injury suffered on 08/10/2320 is worse than hoped. He will not play again this year according to club doctors, who diagnosed the injury as a torn rotator cuff and stated that he would not be able to play for 7-8 months. The team will likely place Perez on the injured list today. To date Perez is 9-10 in 27 starts with a 3.31 ERA and has 170 strikeouts in 177 innings. August 14 - Shaig Abkhazov will have to wait a while longer. The Bunker Hill closer was informed this afternoon that he will miss another 6 weeks with a strained hamstring. The injury has kept him off the field since 08/11/2320. Though Abkhazov had hoped to return soon, he has no choice but to be patient. "Gotta stay focused," he said. "Gotta stay positive." Abkhazov has 24 saves with a 2-3 season record and a 2.79 ERA. He also has 42 relief appearances, thrown 51.2 innings and struck out 73.

StLee Hall Of Famer Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: NC Posts: 5,265	August 2320 BNN Report News from the CBO, Minors, CCBL, and CYL by Nat Wright-Kawolski 30 August 2320 Two Teams Officially In, Six Teams Officially Out With two weeks remaining in the 2320 season, two teams--Southie and FHE--are officially in. Six other teams, including all four expansion teams, Quincy, and Nordhagen Beach, are officially out of the playoffs. We will break down the current seeds and paths to the playoffs, while assuming any team more than five games out of the wildcard race is also out. Here are the current team power rankings for Commonwealth Baseball Organization: Teams (Total Points, Tendency): 1) Southie Brews (129.8, o) 2) Diamond City Swatters (114.7, +) 3) Atom Cats (112.6, ++) 4) FHE Yao Guai (112.2, -) 5) Fort Hagen Silver Shroud (107.4, o) 6) Cambridge Coursers (106.1, +) 7) Malden Grognaks (102.3, o) 8) Bunker Hill 75ers (100.2, --) 9) Glowing Sea Radscorpions (99.3, ++) 10) Goodneighbor Hancocks (98.3, ++) 11) Nahant Celtics (98.3, +) 12) Oberland T-51s (97.3, -) 13) Easy Town Assaultrons (97.3, --) 14) Starlight Killers (97.1, --) 15) The Slog Ghouls (96.4, ++) 16) Vault 81 Dwellers (95.1, -) 17) County Crossing Bloodbugs (94.4, ++) 18) Roxbury Rad Sox (91.7, -) 19) Egret Ninjas (90.1, --) 20) Sunshine Tidings Chemists (89.6, ++) 21) Spectacle Island Reapers (81.8, ++) 22) Concord Radstags (81.6, --) 23) Jamaica Plain Red Rockets (80.3, --) 24) Lexington Synths (79.3, -) 25) University Point Deathclaws (78.0, +) 26) Nordhagen Beach Party Boys (72.9, +) 27) Salem Witch Hats (71.9, --) 28) Cape Cod Mirelurks (67.4, o) 29) Nuka World Thrills (61.3, ++) 30) Providence Super Mutants (60.9, o) 31) Far Harbor Fog (60.6, -) 32) Quincy Granites (53.6, -) Current Playoff Seeds: NCA 1. Fort Hagen 2. Malden (5-5 vs ET, 37-24 vs BL) 3. Cambridge 4. Bunker Hill 5. Easy Town (5-5 vs Mal, 34-31 vs BL) 6. Nahant ---------- 7. Starlight 8. County Crossing (3-3 vs Slog, 34-30 vs BL) 9. The Slog (3-3 vs CC, 33-31 vs BL) SCA 1. Southie 2. FHE 3. Diamond City 4. Atom 5. Oberland 6. Egret (7-3 vs V81) ---------- 7. Vault81 (3-7 vs Egr) 8. Roxbury 9. Glowing Sea (4-2 vs Good) 10. Goodneighbor (2-4 vs GS) 11. Jamaica Plain Brotherhood League It is a heroes vs robots race in the BL with Malden and Easy Town currently jostling for 1st place, while Nahant has faded some since the last update. The Assaultrons were ahead of the Grognaks just a couple of days ago, but with their three-straight dropped, Malden is tied for 1st. County Crossing and The Slog are tied for 4th with both teams barely in the playoff race. Salem has lost six straight and can not start scanning the draft pool. The Party Boys and Far harbor are eliminated. The Witch Hats were still in the race until recently when they began a losing streak that makes it nearly impossible to catch up. With only two players worth noting this season for star power, rookie 1B A'Trey-U Jones (.219/44/68) and superstar pitcher Paul Stains (20-8, 2.00). The future is not all doom and gloom for the Hats with some decent prospects sprinkled throughout their minors and a decently young core group of potential stars. Top prospects include 2B Snack Boy Jordan Brown (#18), and SP Jaxx Murtagh (#138). Young contributors include 2B Prax Meng, SP Flower Mattson, CL Josh Mcnatty, 3B No Neck Lok, and two on the IR: SP Casan Evans and 2B Craig Lost. The Trons may turn out to be the best team in the NCA. Tied with the Grognaks, along with great statistics in comparison to the rest of the association, Easy Town is gunning for their second Sole Survivor Series (2317) championship and fourth appearance in five seasons. Last season, they fell to Egret. Offensively, the Assaultrons are 3rd in scoring, thanks in large part to probable Nuka Hitter Award winner, CF Eden Babz (.332/25/89/86 SB), the all-time steals leader. 1B Donnie Gray (.254/35/87) and SS J.J. Gray (.243/25/78) are having excellent years, too. Pitching is 2nd in runs allowed (465) and Bullpen ERA (2.79). The top starter is Dave Pitcher (16-10, 2.73) with the overall staring rotation considered mid. The closer combination of Donall O'Reilly (16 SV, 1.91) and Tee Browning (13 SV, 2.49) has worked out for the Trons. Institute League Fort Hagen is a game up on Cambridge, with Bunker Hill 2.5 back. Starlight is 1.5 back of the 6th seed in the playoffs and the last team we consider "alive" in the playoff race. Sunshine Tidings is two games under .500 and would have to go pretty much undefeated and get some help to earn their way into the playoffs. Concord is further buried, and Lexington already cannot catch up to four of the other teams ahead of them. Nuka World is officially eliminated. The Radstags were a seeming up-and-coming team from 2314-2318, but they have dropped off since then, missing the playoffs last season and probably this one, too. Unlike Salem with some legitimate stars, though, the Stags may take time to rebuild themselves to playoff quality. There are standouts, like CF Jannar Arbor (.252/32/75), but at 28, Concord is more likely to move on from him than further build around him. Concord also has good talent on the mound, led by Kevin Gauzeman (11-12, 3.64) but his potential has not yet been met at 26. RF Dante Joyce (#51) is the top-rated prospect in the system, but they need more talent in the minors before they can build a dynasty. No, this team may need to be reconstructed by whoever becomes the next GM. Muttface Dickison may not have the stomach to reset the team after eight seasons in charge after working so hard to build them up when joining as GM in 2313. Bunker Hill has been one of the more dominant offenses once CF Esau Babz (.253/27/54) returned from injury that kept him out of 40 games this season. With his power, the 75ers are 1st in home runs (188) ad 2nd in runs scored (576), making them very dangerous in the playoffs. 1B Marl Moriarty (.317/36/95) would be the Nuka Hitter Award favorite if Babz's brother in Easy Town was not so dominant. Pitching has been decently good, too, with the 75ers now 5th in runs allowed (474) and 3rd in Starters ERA (3.27). Dream O'Sullivan (14-5, 2.51) has become comfortable as the ace. At 35, Jalep Temper (7-3, 3.06) was happy to take on a supporting role and will be a great 3rd starter if they go with him in the playoffs. Bunker Hill did lose two important pitchers, Flirt Perez (9-10, 3.31) and CL Shaig Abkhazov (24 SV, 2.79), so winning it all will be difficult. NCA Playoff Outlook Each of the leagues has three teams realistically in the league title conversation. Starlight is not in that conversation, but they are the only other team with a realistic chance of being one of the six teams in the playoffs. We will add their outlook below, while leaving off the Bloodbugs and Ghouls since they would need two teams to fall off a cliff in the last two weeks. One team may--see details below. All remaining series are three games unless otherwise marked. Brotherhood League Pennant Chase: Malden - vs BH, vs Nah (4), @ Con, vs FHar (Prediction: 8-5) Easy Town - vs Star, @ Sal, @ BH, vs Nah (4) (Prediction: 7-6) Nahant - vs Cam, @ Mal (4), @ FtH, @ ET (4) (Prediction: 3-10) The Celtics have a brutal schedule to finish, having to face off against the four top teams in the NCA, and no more off days. We are not only predicting that they do not win the BL but that they will miss the playoffs altogether. That leaves the Grognaks and Trons fighting it out for a top-two seed and one of the wildcard spots. In the battle, Malden has the schedule advantage with a road series against Concord (63-68) and a sweep possibility to finish the season against the Fog (46-68). The Assaultrons' only non-playoff team series is a road trip to Salem (61-70). We expect the Grognaks to take the BL crown. Institute League Pennant Chase: Fort Hagen - @ Sal, @ Lex (4), vs Nah, vs Con (Prediction: 9-4) Cambridge - @ Nah, vs Star, vs FHar, @ Lex (4) (Prediction: 8-5) Bunker Hill - @ Mal, @ ST, vs ET, vs Star (4) (Prediction: 8-5) Starlight - @ ET, @ Cam, vs Slog, @ BH (4) (Prediction: 6-7) Both the Shroud and Coursers seem to have the easiest path. The 75ers seem to have a schedule they can also manage, and the Killers just need to better Nahant. Final Seeds Prediction: 1. Fort Hagen 85-59 2. Malden 81-63 3. Cambridge 83-61 4. Bunker Hill 81-63 5. Easy Town 80-64 6. Starlight 76-68 Minutemen League At 9-1 in their past 10, Southie remains the CBO's hottest team. They are 22-3 in August, leaving little doubt how good they can be. Atom was once the darlings of the ML, but at 7.5 back and a Magic # of 7 for the Brews to clinch the league title, this race is pretty much done. None of the rest of the league is really in playoff contention, though Goodneighbor is 3.5 back of the 6th seed and Jamaica Plain is 5 back. University Park and Spectacle Island can expect to be eliminated soon, while Cape Cod and Quincy are already there. The Deathclaws have still yet to recover from stars Barker Cocoa, Aesed Hayjen, Austin Engill, Tony Bertha, and Tomas Jones aging out. Since 2312, ending the run, the Claws have made the playoffs just once, 2315. On the bright side, University Point has appeared to reload its minor system, so they may be competitive within the next few years. Their top three prospects are all in the Top 50: SS Qing Baker (#9), SP Bryce Yaag (#31), and SP Bronny Galinski (#33). 2B Sincere Grey (.211/12/59) is the best-talented player on the team and may become a star one day. Pitching needs the prospects to develop with Less Myles (6-12, 3.87) the only young starter with top potential. For the Red Rockets, they are still battling, but it is obvious they do not have the firepower to win now. Jamaica Plain is 15th in runs scored (426) and 11th in runs allowed (493), so they should be many more games than four below .500. RF Kevin Cauthen (.258/17/63) leads in average and RBI, and 2B Brandon Larsonist (.202/24/55) is the homers leader. Ace SP Make Money (16-9, 2.64) is the best pitcher. The split closer role of Awesome Tony Fox (25 SV, 2.89) and Wizard Albutt (15 SV, 2.20) works for the Rockets. Railroad League FHE has already clinched a playoff spot, but a three-game losing streak has helped Diamond City move to two games back. This is a two-way race for 1st place, while five teams are in the wildcard race, in order: Oberland, Egret, Vault 81, Roxbury, and Glowing Sea. The Radscorpions have been hot, winning four straight and eight of their last 10 to put them back in the race at 3.5 games back of the 6th seed. Providence is eliminated and currently would have the #1 overall pick in the 2320 Draft. The Dwellers could be a playoff team, but they are battling statistics along with the power that is most of the rest of the Railroad League. While tied for the 6th seed, our prediction is that Vault 81 will be watching the playoffs this season after making it 9 of the past 10 seasons and winning the championship in 2315. The Dwellers are 10th in runs scored (474) and runs allowed (492), not a good sign for making the playoffs. RF Pockets Wrench (.307/32/87) is the team MVP and should be in Nuka Hitter Award discussions. Oberland has been a pleasant surprise on the season after PAM picked them to finish 7th in the league ahead of Providence. While the team could be better on offense entering the playoffs (tied for 8th in runs scored at 477), the pitching has been solid, including being currently 3rd in runs allowed (435) and Starters ERA (2.97). LF Family Sam Partridge (.269/30/83) was acquired in a trade and should help the offense be fiercer in the playoffs. Three starters have had an ERA below 3.00, not including ace La'Ray Kalel (10-11, 3.08). Rookie Guy Tarr (3-0, 2.05) was called up and has been decently good in 13 appearances and nine starts. SCA Playoff Outlook There are 11 teams alive in the playoff race, but there are tiers here. We are assuming that the Brews will win the ML, so the only thing to check for them is if they can maintain the #1 overall seed in the playoffs. Both Atom and Diamond City are pretty much guaranteed a playoff spot. In addition to the Yao Guai, who have already clinched a spot, that gives up the top four to check for position. Then, there are the final two spots in the playoffs where all of, in order, Oberland, Egret, Vault 81, Roxbury, Glowing Sea, Goodneighbor, and Jamaica Plain are alive. All remaining series are three games unless otherwise marked. Top four seeds outlook: Southie - @ FHE, vs Good (4), vs Obe, @ UP (Prediction: 8-5) Atom - @ Prov, @ UP (4), vs V81, vs SI (4) (Prediction: 10-4) FHE - vs Sou, @ Prov, @ JP, @ GS (Prediction: 6-6) Diamond City - vs JP, vs V81 (4), @ Cape, @ Rox (4) (Prediction: 9-5) The Yao Guai has the toughest remaining schedule of this group, while the Cats may have the easiest road. Diamond City's schedule is also in their favor to get a chance to tie or surpass the Yao Guai. The Swatters own the season series tiebreaker, 6-4. Southie should be able to hold serve, giving them the best chance to be the #1 seed. Last two seeds outlook: Oberland - vs UP, @ GS (4), @ Sou, @ Egr (4) (Prediction: 7-7) Egret - vs Qui, vs Rox (4), @ Good, vs Obe (4) (Prediction: 9-5) Vault 81 - vs Good, @ DC (4), @ Atom, vs Prov (4) (Prediction: 7-7) Roxbury - vs Cape, @ Egr (4), @ UP, vs DC (4) (Prediction: 9-5) Glowing Sea - vs SI, vs Obe (4), @ Qui, vs FHE (Prediction: 9-4) Goodneighbor - @ V81, @ Sou (4), vs Egr, @ JP (Prediction: 5-8) Jamaica Plain - @ DC, vs Qui, vs FHE, vs Good (Prediction: 8-4) Other than the Hancocks, who have the toughest remaining schedule of this group, every team can make a move. We are optimistic here, so we do not expect six of these teams listed to go .500 or better to finish. Baseball is NOT that predictable. These are just based on what should happen if everything went as expected. With that stated, the only overall change in standings happens below. Final Seeds Prediction: 1. Southie 93-51 2. Diamond City 89-55 (6-4 vs FHE) 3. FHE 89-55 4. Atom 87-57 5. Oberland 78-66 6. Egret 77-67 CBO Standings CBO Players of the Week August 23 - Fort Hagen fans have something to crow about today as Fort Hagen shortstop Dizzy Bass nabbed the North Charles Association Player of the Week Award for his performance over the last seven days. "I know there are times when it's hard to lay off pitches. Everyone goes through stretches when he's too eager to put the ball in play. You know, though, I feel like this past week I was able to get in the right frame of mind and just let things come naturally," said Bass. He posted a .435 average (10-for-23) this past week with 4 home runs, 10 RBIs, and 6 runs scored. At present, Bass is batting .260 with 108 hits and 17 home runs. He has knocked in 53 runs and scored 64 times. Not every ball that came off Kai Halliday's bat last week was a line drive or a towering shot -- it just seemed that way to the teams that played the Providence Super Mutants. For his exploits, Halliday was named this week's South Charles Association Player of the Week award. The Providence third baseman put up 10 hits in 19 at-bats and 2 home runs while hitting .526 with 2 RBIs and 5 runs scored. Batting .269 to date, Halliday has 12 home runs and 29 RBIs. August 30 - Cambridge sports fans can't stop singing the praises of Bubbler Mayhem, who has been selected the North Charles Association Player of the Week. Mayhem was in a comfort zone all week, finishing with a .429 average (9-for-21), 9 RBIs and 6 home runs. This season, Mayhem has hit at a .261 clip and produced 68 runs batted in, 27 home runs and 66 runs. What's in a number? In baseball, just about everything. The numbers that Oberland's Jalen Taylor put up last week were the envy of the league, as Taylor came away with South Charles Association Player of the Week honors. He belted out 10 hits in 20 at-bats, 2 home runs and 3 RBIs last week as he posted his .500 batting average. This year, Taylor is hitting at a .257 pace with 17 home runs and 50 RBIs. He has played in 125 games and scored 59 times. CBO Noteworthy News August 21 - The Malden Grognaks topped the County Crossing Bloodbugs by a score of 11-4 at Unstoppable Park, but all the talk was centered on center fielder Floren Habern. The Malden star hit for the cycle in a show-stealing performance, powering his club to the win. Habern went 4-for-5, collecting 1 single, 1 double, 1 triple and 1 home run to go along with 3 RBI and 3 runs scored. "I felt comfortable at the plate in a way I haven't felt all season," Habern said after the game. "It was like they were throwing beach balls at me - the ball seemed that big. And it just floated in." Floren Habern tripled in the 1st, grounded out in the 3rd, hit a two-run home run off Sadman Mullis in the 5th, hit an RBI double in the 6th and singled in the 8th. This year, Habern is hitting .248 with 16 home runs. August 24 - Gary Harvard had hoped for the best, but expected the worst. Today, he learned from the Nahant medical staff that he would miss the rest of the season. The Nahant starting pitcher suffered a partially torn ulnar collateral ligament in an earlier ballgame. He admitted to being discouraged, but said he plans to come back strong next year. This season, Harvard has worked 181 innings with 191 strikeouts en route to a 9-12 record and a 3.98 ERA. August 30 - Reports are that Cambridge RP Chad Nailgun was involved in a bar fracas last night in Bunker Hill, and will not be joining the trip to Nahant today. A team official mentioned that the 33-year-old Nailgun was considered the aggressor, so he would be suspended "for a few games." The league office will oversee the suspension, which will probably be for the duration of the three-game trip to face the Celtics. Cambridge returns home after a day off on Thursday to face Starlight at home. Nailgun pitched in the game last night, a 6-4 win versus the 75ers. He allowed a run on two hits with a walk and two strikeouts in 1.2 innings of relief in the 5th and 6th innings.

StLee Hall Of Famer Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: NC Posts: 5,265	September 2320 BNN Report News from the CBO, Minors, CCBL, and CYL by Nat Wright-Kawolski 10 September 2320 CBO: Closing Weekend Update Each of the 32 CBO teams have three games remaining on the season, and there is a lot to unpack! Exactly seven of the 12 playoffs spots are clinched, three in the NCA and four in the SCA. That leaves five more slots to be filled. First, the current standings, followed by our breakdowns: NCA Breakdown We thought that Nahant's remaining schedule was like the old Nuka World Gauntlet when raiders used to rule the park. Instead, the Celtics have gone 8-3 in that stretch, defeating Cambridge (2-1), Malden (3-1), and Fort Hagen (2-1). While Nahant still needs help to take the #1 seed, they do control their own destiny in the Brotherhood League. The Celtics downed Easy Town by the score of 3-0 yesterday, giving them a 1-0 series lead and now a two-game lead on both the Assaultrons and Malden. If Nahant wins one more game, they will have clinched the BL since they would have won the season series over both teams. Between the Trons and Grognaks, Malden has the easier path, getting a three-game weekend against Far Harbor. The Grognaks are 7-2 so far on the season in that series. Unless the Assaultrons win all three games this weekend, they are probably looking at 3rd place in the BL, though tiebreakers could place them in 2nd place if Malden drops any games. The race for the #1 overall seed and the Minutemen League crown is between Fort Hagen and Cambridge. The Silver Shroud took the season series over the Coursers, 7-3, so finishing tied would give them the league crown. The Shroud host Concord, while Cambridge is at Lexington. The Synths took the first game of that series, 4-3, in walkoff fashion after falling behind 3-2 in the top of the 9th. Bunker Hill is currently in the lead for the 4th seed, one game up on both Malden and Easy Town. The 75ers lost to Starlight yesterday, keeping the Killers alive. Starlight needs to sweep the four-game series to secure their playoffs spot. They can also go 3-1 or 2-2 as long as one of the Assaultrons or Grognaks finish tied with them. Starlight defeated both teams in the regular season, 4 games to 2. SCA Breakdown Both leagues are determined for the champions, with Southie taking the Minutemen League and FHE taking the Railroad League. Those will be the #1 and #2 seeds in some order. The Brews are at University Point to finish the season, while the Yao Guai are in the dome at Glowing Sea. The brews also have a 4-2 season series advantage over FHE, so Southie can afford a loss more than the Yao Guai can. Atom and Diamond City are locked into the #3 and #4 seeds, meaning they will have home-field advantage in the Wildcard Round. Atom swept the Swatters, 6 games to 0, in the regular season, so a tie would give them the #3 seed. The Cats host Spectacle Island. Diamond City has a rougher time facing a wildcard hungry team in Roxbury. The Rad Sox took yesterday's game, 2-1. Speaking of the Sox, they are the first team out in current standings of a five-team race for the last two spots. Let's start with the last of those five teams, though, the Radscorpions. Glowing Sea can only reach as high as the #6 seed, but they will need a lot of help. First, they have to sweep the Yao Guai. They also need all of Oberland, Roxbury, and Vault 81 to get swept. The Dwellers are facing Providence, so that may already eliminate the Radscorpions. If Vault 81 sweeps the Super Mutants, they would be at 76-68, giving them a chance to surpass or tie one or more teams. The T-51s and Egret, the teams currently occupying the last two spots, are facing each other. Only a 2-1 win by Oberland would complicate the standings, while the Ninjas would still likely clinch the top wildcard spot due to tiebreakers unles swept by the T-51s. If the Sox win two more over Diamond City, we could have a four-way tie for the #5 and #6 seeds. Were that to occur, the order of finish based on team vs team record would be this: #5 Egret - 6-4 vs Obe, 6-4 vs Rox, 7-3 vs V81 #6 Oberland - 7-3 vs Rox, 6-4 vs V81 Thus, nothing would change. For the Sox, Dwellers, and to an extent, Glowing Sea, they all need the Ninjas to win the series over Oberland. #1 Overall Pick Now, let's look at another aspect of the league, the race for worst place, thus the #1 overall pick in the 2320 Draft. OSA currently has seven players marked as "sure things" in the draft, though two of the top pitchers will not be ready for the beginning of the 2321 season due to injury. That means picking in the Top 5 could be important, especially with the history of 80 prospect picks, especially the #1 overall, being a long list of success in the CBO. With that stated, three teams are currently tied for that spot: Far Harbor, Providence, and Quincy. Nuka World went on a four-game winning streak, dropping them to 4th overall currently. Cape Cod has already clinched the 5th overall pick. The Granites have the best chance to fall to the 3rd or 4th spot since they host the Mirelurks this weekend. Quincy currently leads the season series, 4-3. Both the Mutants and Fog face teams battling in the playoff race and may be lucky to win a game. Nuka World hosts Sunshine Tidings. How we think it will shake out? 1. Far Harbor 2. Providence 3. Nuka World 4.

Really awesome how in August all the division leaders flipped and man did Southie get hot! Doesn't seem like anyone will be able to stop them unless they fall back down to earth With Glowing Sea all but officially eliminated, would be nice to see them or Scooter and Cambridge come out on top!

Team pages show the stat comparisons: Starlight Cambridge Just two seasons ago, the Killers entered the playoffs as the #1 overall seed, while the Coursers were the #5 seed and entering the playoffs for just the second time in team history. In the end, Cambridge downed the Killers in the Association Round and then #3 Lexington on their way to the Sole Survivor Series. Diamond City defeated Cambridge there, 4 games to 2. This marks the Coursers fourth playoff appearance and third-straight. Starlight is appearing for the 12th time overall with their last appearance in 2318. Prediction The Killers' pitching is better than Cambridge's, giving them the clear advantage. We like Cambridge to take a game in this series, but we feel that Starlight is currently the better team. Starlight 2, Cambridge 1 #5 Nahant Celtics (79-65) vs #4 Easy Town Assaultrons (80-64) Season Series: Easy Town 5, Nahant 5 May 14-16 @Nah: Nah 12-3, Nah 5-4, Nah 7-1 July 16-18 @Nah: ET 7-6, ET 8-3, Nah 2-0 September 9-12 @ET: Nah 3-0, ET 12-2, ET 4-1, ET 5-0 Playoff History: First Meeting Preview The 2320 schedule is quite different. With the new schedule, most league matchups have a 6-4 home-away split. In the case of the Assaultrons and Celtics, the first time they played each other was in Easy Town was in the last weekend of the season. The first two series were played in Nahant. Looking at the results of the split series, it was streaky with win streaks of 3-2-2-3 to determine the final 5-5 total. Statistically, as we are comparing below, the Trons have the definitive advantage in runs scored (2nd vs Nahant's 7th) and runs allowed (2nd vs Nahant's 11th). Nahant Easy Town In the history of the CBO, this is only the second season (2317) that both Easy Town and Nahant have been in the playoffs in the same season. The Celtics' last appearance was also in 2317. This is their first meeting. Part of the problem in never meeting is that this is the Celtics' fifth total trip to the playoffs not counting 2296 when they reached the first but unofficial Sole Survivor Series. Nahant made the Sole Survivor Series officially in 2313 as the first #6 seed to do so, falling 4 games to 3 to Atom. The Assaultrons are making their 11th playoff appearance, including 5 of the past 6 seasons. That includes Sole Survivor Series trips in 2316, 2317, and 2319 with a title in 2317. The Trons have been to four Sole Survivor Series overall, with the first coming in a loss to Goodneighbor in 2298. Prediction The three-time NCA champions in the last four seasons against a team that has been to the playoffs only four times. One of the best statistically-solid teams in the CBO. The team that has the CBO's best player in Eden Babz. We think this will be an easy one for the Trons.

SP Fang Storm (2-0, 0.63, 14.1 IP) had two of those victories, and he would be the Game 3 starter should the teams go that far. He would face off with K-9 Creep (0-2, 2.02, 13.1 IP). The Cats' Josh Brown (0-2, 11.74, 7.2 IP) fared much worse; he is the Game 2 starter. The Rad Sox's pitching was not great outside of their series success over Atom. Roxbury was 9th in runs allowed and 10th in Starters ERA compared to 3rd and 3rd for the Cats. Atom was slightly better in runs scored, too (3rd vs the Sox's 5th). See team pages below for more statistical comparisons. Roxbury Atom Roxbury is making its 10th playoff appearance but first since 2312. In fact, all nine of the Sox's previous appearances were from 2302-2312 with Sole Survivor Series appearances five times: 2303-2304, 2306-2307, and 2311. The Rad Sox won the title in 2303, 2304, and 2311. One of their series wins was a sweep of the #5 Cats. Both Atom and Roxbury were in the playoffs at the same time from 2302-2305, though that was their only matchup. The Cats were out early in that four-year span, though they did make their first Sole Survivor Series in their first playoff season, 2301. From 2313-this season, Atom has now made the playoffs seven seasons, all seasons, except for this one, that the Sox missed the playoffs. The Cats have made two total Sole Survivor Series appearances, appearing again in 2313 when they defeated Nahant. Prediction While the Sox dominated the season series and were super hot at the end to get into the playoffs, the Cats were super hot to move into the 3rd seed. Overall, Atom is a more talented team and has a lot more recent success. Roxbury is an up-and-coming team with some exciting young talent, like RF Bix Bimbleman (.279/26/80). However, the Cats have been here and are still a team we think could win the championship in 2320. Atom 2, Roxbury 1 #5 Egret Ninjas (77-67) vs #4 Diamond City Swatters (86-58) Season Series: Diamond City 8, Egret 4 April 9-11 @Egr: Egr 2-0, DC 3-1, Egr 5-3 May 28-30 @DC: DC 6-1, DC 3-2, DC 3-1 July 23-25 @Egr: DC 1-0(11), Egr 7-1, DC 3-1 August 27-29 @DC: Egr 2-0, DC 4-3, DC 13-4 Playoff History: Egret 1, Diamond City 0 2319 - Association Semifinal - #6 Egret 3, #2 Diamond City 0 Preview The last two champions of the CBO face off in a matchup where the winner gets to pursue a championship and the loser gets to lick their wounds. If the regular season matters, Diamond City took care of business, winning 8 of their 12 matchups in what was the best scheduling decision by the CBO, matching these two teams as the 12-game series in the Railroad League. Every other league series for the teams was a 10-gamer. In a season where pitching dominated, the Swatters again proved to have the best pitching staff, actually making them the team most likely to come out on top at the end of the season. Diamond City proved that by finishing 1st in runs allowed and Starters ERA. With Macho Lopez, the likely Vim! Pitcher Award winner, Black Red, and one of the all-time greats in 31-year-old Heaven Fontenot, the Swatters pitching staff is difficult to score on. Egret is only slightly better than the Swatters on offense, ranked 6th in runs scored versus tied for 7th for Diamond City. For pitching, Egret is OK but did allow the 8th fewest runs with the 5th best Starters ERA. More stats to look at for the teams in their home pages below: Egret Diamond City This is the Ninjas' 8th appearance in the playoffs and Diamond City's 15th. However, this is only the third time that both teams have been in the playoffs the same season. Those three were the last three seasons, 2318-2320. They met last season on the way to Egret's incredible playoff run on their way to their first Sole Survivor Series appearance and victory. The Swatters cannot be too shook up about facing the defending champions. Last season, when they were swept in the Association Semifinals, Diamond City was the defending champions. In all, the Swatters have been to the Sole Survivor Series three times, all championships: 2299-2300, 2318. They are the only team in the CBO that is undefeated in the Sole Survivor Series with more than one appearance. The only other teams undefeated in the Sole Survivor Series have all appeared only once: Goodneighbor (2298), Bunker Hill (2308), The Slog (2314), Egret (2319). Prediction The last two defending champions meeting in the Wildcard Round makes this the most interesting of series. Despite Egret's 2319 run, they are behind the Swatters in terms of overall talent. Diamond City is probably thinking revenge, looking to do what the Ninjas did to them last season. We think they will succeed.

Cambridge starting pitcher Malik Watts threw 7.0 innings of 4-hit ball, to lead the charge. The Coursers now lead the series 1-0. Watts was dominant for Cambridge. The left-hander allowed 2 runs on 4 hits, while racking up 12 strikeouts. He threw 99 pitches over 7 innings in the contest. "We'll put this win in our pocket and go after the next one," said Watts. The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Cambridge Polymer Field in Cambridge. Game 2: Cambridge 6, Starlight 5 Cambridge Moves on to Association Semifinal Round Many baseball pundits expected a close series in the North Charles Association Wildcard Round. It turned out quite a bit different. The Cambridge Coursers swept aside the Starlight Killers to advance to the Association Semifinal Round, winning the final game by a 6-5 score at Cambridge Polymer Field. The series MVP was second baseman Arbor Creek, who hit .250 with a .333 on-base percentage. He had 2 home runs, drove in 2 RBI and scored 2 runs. "We expected this series to go right down to the wire, so to sweep is a bit of a surprise," he said. "But we'll take it." The Cambridge Coursers will play against the Malden Grognaks in the next round. Malden had a bye in the Wildcard Round. The Association Semifinal Round schedule will be announced after the Wildcard Round finishes. NCA: #5 Nahant Celtics vs #4 Easy Town Assaultrons Game 1: Easy Town 2, Nahant 1 Wildcard Round Game 1 Victory for Pitcher and Easy Town The Wildcard Round got off to a quiet start, with the host Easy Town Assaultrons taking a low-scoring, 2-1 win over the Nahant Celtics. Easy Town right-hander Dave Pitcher was marvelous at Easy Town Field. The Assaultrons now hold a 1-0 lead in the best-of-3 series. The Celtics had trouble solving Pitcher, who surrendered 1 run on 4 hits over 7 innings. "We came out on the wrong end of this one," said Nahant skipper Brian Andrewson. The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Easy Town Field in Easy Town. Game 2: Easy Town 5, Nahant 1 Easy Town Takes Wildcard Round The Easy Town Assaultrons outclassed the Nahant Celtics in all facets of the game throughout the NCA Wildcard Round. The end result was a Easy Town series sweep to advance to the Association Semifinal Round, capped off by a 5-1 win in the final game. "We're a bit surprised it's over in a sweep, to be honest with you," said right fielder Slammin' Sammy Holloway, who hit .429 in the series. Holloway's standout effort garnered him MVP honors. He also put up a .500 on-base percentage and had 1 home runs, drove in 3 RBI and scored 2 runs. The Easy Town Assaultrons will play against the Fort Hagen Silver Shroud in the next round. Fort Hagen had a bye in the Wildcard Round. The Association Semifinal Round schedule will be announced after the Wildcard Round finishes. SCA: #6 Roxbury Rad Sox vs #3 Atom Cats Game 1: Roxbury 3, Atom 1 Road Win Lifts Roxbury to 1-0 Lead in WCR The Roxbury Rad Sox powered past the hometown Atom Cats, 3-1, in the opener of the Wildcard Round at Coolest Field in Town. Roxbury starting pitcher Daley Hayes threw 6.1 innings of 3-hit ball, to lead the charge. The Rad Sox now lead the series 1-0. Roxbury used a clutch at-bat from Honker Trinkl to capture the win. The first baseman hammered a 2-run home run in the top of the fourth inning to put the Rad Sox ahead, 2-1. It was his lone hit in 3 at-bats, but it was a humdinger. Hayes called the win "a team effort." The next game is set to be played tomorrow at Coolest Field in Town in Atom Cats Garage. Game 2: Roxbury 5, Atom 4 Roxbury Wins Wildcard Round The Roxbury Rad Sox had all facets of their game going and have swept the Atom Cats in the Wildcard Round. Roxbury now heads off to the Association Semifinal Round, after wrapping up the series with a 5-4 win. Bix Bimbleman was named MVP, as he put up a .714 batting average, with a .778 on-base percentage. He had 0 home runs, drove in 1 RBI and scored 2 runs. The Roxbury Rad Sox will play against the FHE Yao Guai in the next round. FHE had a bye in the Wildcard Round. The Association Semifinal Round schedule will be announced after the Wildcard Round finishes. SCA: #5 Egret Ninjas vs #4 Diamond City Swatters Game 1: Diamond City 4, Egret 3 Lopez, Swatters Take Dramatic Game 1 for 1-0 Series Lead The Diamond City Swatters started the Wildcard Round in dramatic fashion, stealing Game 1 from the Egret Ninjas in a walk-off in the 10th inning. Diamond City took the 4-3 win thanks in large part to a good day from starter Macho Lopez. The right-hander threw 7.0 innings of 4-hit ball in the win, which gave the Swatters a 1-0 lead to start the best-of-3 series. The decisive blow was delivered by Early Duvet in the bottom of the tenth when he hit a run-scoring double off 27-year old left-handed pitcher Kunz Hoffmann to win the game for Diamond City. The home crowd went nuts. "There's no quit in this team," said Swatters manager A-Juan Rodriguez. The next game is set to be played tomorrow at The Great Green Jewel in Boston. Game 2: Diamond City 1, Egret 0 Diamond City Sweeps into the Association Semifinal Round With a 1-0 win to wrap up the series at The Great Green Jewel, the Diamond City Swatters have eliminated the Egret Ninjas in the Wildcard Round and move on to the Association Semifinal Round. Diamond City controlled the series from the outset and won it in a 2-0 sweep. Early Duvet led the charge offensively for the victors, winning series MVP honors. He posted a .600 batting average, along with a .750 on-base percentage. He had 0 home runs, drove in 1 RBI and scored 1 runs. "We're not done yet," the MVP said. "There is still a lot to accomplish." The Diamond City Swatters will play against the Southie Brews in the next round. Southie had a bye in the Wildcard Round. The Association Semifinal Round schedule will be announced after the Wildcard Round finishes.

StLee Hall Of Famer Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: NC Posts: 5,265	CBO Playoffs 2320 BNN Report News from the CBO, Minors, CCBL, and CYL by Nat Wright-Kawolski 17 September 2320 CBO Playoffs: Association Semifinals Round Preview NCA: #4 Easy Town Assaultrons (80-64) vs #1 Fort Hagen Silver Shroud (84-60) Season Series: Fort Hagen 3, Easy Town 3 April 19-21 @ET: ET 5-0, FtH 6-1, ET 3-2 July 26-28 @FtH: ET 7-2, FtH 6-0, FtH 5-2 Playoff History: Easy Town 3, Fort Hagen 1 2298 - Championship Series - #3 Easy Town 3, #4 Fort Hagen 1 2300 - Association Semifinal - #2 Fort Hagen 3, #3 Easy Town 2 2304 - Play-in Round - #5 Easy Town 2, #4 Fort Hagen 0 2319 - Championship Series - #2 Easy Town 4, #4 Fort Hagen 2 Analysis Fort Hagen was a team that generally took care of business against bad teams but struggled at times against good teams. That can be seen in the season series against Easy Town with the two teams splitting their six-game series. The teams went back and forth, each getting a few large wins, so the season series does not tell us much other than it is a smart bet that it goes all five games. This series also features the NCA's two best teams all-around statistically. The Silver Shroud wrapped around the Trons' 2nd-rank in runs for and against by finishing 1st in runs scored and 3rd in runs against. Offensively, LF Innis Sark was the team MVP, finishing as one of only 15 players in the CBO with 30 or more home runs and one of 11 players with 85 or more runs batted in. Interestingly, the Shroud finished 7th in home runs, one of their lowest stats. On the mound, the Fort Hagen benefited most from a dominant bullpen, finishing with a 2.85 ERA. The starters were 11th in ERA, giving us pause in predicting the Shroud to win it all. Booker Wood was the best all-around pitcher, finishing 15-8 with a 3.00 ERA. Nuke Laloosh moves to the bullpen for the playoffs. Some speculate he may call it quits after this season. A championship would help make that decision. Looking at the playoff history between these two teams, they are the series of teams that have met most in the postseason of all the four matchups in 2320. Most interesting is that this will mark the Assaultrons and Silver Shroud's fifth meeting. Every season that both Easy Town and the Shroud have been in the playoffs the same season has resulted in them facing each other. Twice, this series was for the right to move on to the Sole Survivor Series. The Trons won both times, including a season ago when they downed Fort Hagen, 4 games to 2, before falling to Egret in the Sole Survivor Series. Prediction The Silver Shroud are the #1 seed for a reason, being consistent throughout the season. Easy Town has had its ups and downs, but have only had one losing month: April (13-14). That also is consistency. The Trons are a good hitting team that knows how to work the bases, which could be overpowering for the Shroud starting rotation. In the end, we like Easy Town to go all the way to the Sole Survivor Series for the 4th time in 5 seasons. Easy Town 3, Fort Hagen 2 NCA: #3 Cambridge Coursers (83-61) vs #2 Malden Grognaks (80-64) Season Series: Malden 4, Cambridge 2 May 31-June 2 @Mal: Mal 13-5, Cam 9-3, Mal 4-3(11) August 10-12 @Cam: Cam 2-0, Mal 7-3, Mal 6-3(10) Playoff History: First Meeting Analysis Two of the original expansion franchises from 2310 meet for the first time in the playoffs, with this season marking the fourth time in recent seasons that they are in the playoffs simultaneously. Cambridge is making its fourth playoff tripe (2316, 2318-2320), while Malden is in its fifth appearance (2315-2317, 2319-2320). The Coursers advanced to the Sole Survivor Series just two seasons ago, which could be telling in this series. In the regular season, the Grognaks held a slight edge, winning 4 of the 6 matchups. All four victories for Malden came through late wins with four relief pitchers earning the victories. For Cambridge, Scooter Yaghmour and Toon Alljet both had two outstanding starts apiece but had no decisions between them. Yaghmour had a 1.80 ERA in 15.0 innings, to go along with 19 strikeouts. Malden statistically is slightly better than the Coursers. The Naks were 4th in runs scored (compared to 5th for Cambridge) and 5th in runs allowed (compared to tied for 7th for Cambridge. The Grognaks' best features statistically was finishing 2nd in OBP, which means that they put themselves in position to score runs. Malden did not have anyone who stood out individually on offense, but every player contributed. Despite not qualifying statistically, Lance Tinter led the team in average in 107 games played. Phantom Vargas was the leader in homers, and Floren Habern was the RBI and stolen bases leader. On the mound, starters were decent for the Grognaks and again slightly ahead of Cambridge in ERA (5th to 7th). Ace Ahsoka Tano (4-5, 2.39) has a great ERA but has seen limited action in 2320. He is currently experiencing shoulder issues that may limit him or leave him out of action entirely. Vault Boy Barnette (12-3, 3.55) or Hrye Caje (12-13, 3.83) could fill in for Tano if he is unable to go. Prediction We feel that the Grognaks are the better team and should win the series. At the same time, the Coursers have experienced more recent success in making a deep playoff run. Malden was in the NCA Championship Series in both 2316 and 2317, though, falling to Easy Town both times. In the end, we are tossing a coin and going with the team that would host Game 5. Malden 3, Cambridge 2 SCA: #4 Diamond City Swatters (86-58) vs #1 Southie Brews (93-51) Season Series: Diamond City 5, Southie 1 May 4-6 @Sou: Sou 4-3(12), DC 1-0, DC 5-3 July 19-21 @DC: DC 4-0, DC 8-7, DC 1-0 Playoff History: Diamond City 1, Southie 0 2318 - Championship Series - #1 Diamond City 4, #2 Southie 3 Analysis If we asked the average reader what seeds each team is in this #1 vs #4 matchup, they would probably guess Diamond City as the #1 seed. Looking at the talent of the teams and typical success, that would be a good guess. However, this season has been anything but typical with the Brews sitting with the CBO's top record of 93-51. With that stated, 5 of the Brews' 51 losses came against the Swatters. Diamond City was the only team that they had a losing record against in the SCA, so there could be some psychological advantages for the Swatters entering this series. Statistically, this matchup features the SCA's top offense (Southie) against the top pitching staff (Diamond City). The Brews have earned their #1 seed by leading in almost all offensive categories. Seven of the eight regular hitters hit 15 or more home runs, helping Southie to the CBO-best with 206. Mikita Sato was the best overall hitter, finishing 1st in homers (30), 2nd in average (.253), and 4th in RBI (65) while batting from the 8th spot. Pitching is a tale of two squads for the Brews. Southie finished 4th in runs scored, to go along with the top Bullpen ERA (2.26). However, the starters ranked 13th in ERA (3.75), indicating the mythological Achilles heel. The trade for Arcade Anderson (5-2, 2.57 since joining Southie) may have solved the problem. He struggled with Quincy, but was getting especially frustrated that he was piling up losses in good outings, including losing three straight when allowing only two or fewer runs. Of his 16 losses with the Granites, nine came when he allowed three or fewer runs. Anderson's addition to the lineup puts less pressure on Jobe Christie (17-10, 3.52) and Orel Hershey (20-7, 3.74). Full team page below: Two seasons ago, both the Swatters and Southie met for the first time in the playoffs. Diamond City ended up wining the SCA Championship Series, where they went on to defeat Cambridge for their third overall Sole Survivor Series championship. As noted in the Wildcard Round previews, the Swatters are the only team to be undefeated in the Sole Survivor Series with more than one appearance. Southie is making just its second playoff appearance in team history. For the record, here are the multi-SSS teams and their records, in alphabetical order, of all 22 official Series: Atom 1-1 County Crossing 1-1 Diamond City 3-0 Easy Town 1-3 Fort Hagen 1-3 Nordhagen Beach 4-3 Oberland 0-2 Quincy 1-2 Roxbury 3-2 University Point 2-1 Vault 81 1-1 One-timers: Bunker Hill 1-0 Cambridge 0-1 Egret 1-0 Goodneighbor 1-0 Lexington 0-1 Nahant 0-1 The Slog 1-0 Prediction The Brews have played well all season and earned their spot as the top seed. Diamond City appeared to be the top seed at one point, but a poor stretch at the beginning of August dropped them to 2nd place in the Railroad League and then another poor stretch in September dropped them to the #4 seed. When playing Southie, though, the Swatters looked to have a team they knew how to beat. We'll take the experience over the up-and-coming team. Diamond City 3, Southie 1 SCA: #6 Roxbury Rad Sox (77-67) vs #2 FHE Yao Guai (91-53) Season Series: FHE 5, Roxbury 5 April 29-May 2 @Rox: FHE 3-2, Rox 6-2, FHE 5-4, FHE 6-4 June 4-6 @FHE: Rox 6-5, Rox 9-5, FHE 7-6 July 30-August 1 @FHE: Rox 4-0, FHE 4-3, Rox 2-1 Playoff History: First Meeting Analysis The regular season matchups between #2 FHE and #6 Roxbury were good ones with just three matchups being decided by more than two runs. In fact, six of the 10 games were decided by just a run in this Railroad League battle. For the Yao Guai, they are masters of none statistically, but great all-around, finishing second in the SCA in both runs scored and runs allowed, beaten only by the two teams in the other matchup for the top spots. The only place that FHE does not have any statistical advantages over Roxbury appears to be in base running, where Missile Crews (49 steals) is the only great runner on the team. No one else had more than three stolen bases. Phil Brodie (.322/30/101) should be in the Nuka Hitter Award conversation in the SCA. He led the SCA in 12 offensive categories, making him the clear favorite. Lots of other players contributed offensively, especially Crews, Brass Well, and Bowen Marsh, making the top of the lineup a hard chem to inject for opposing pitchers. On the mound, the Yao Guai are likely to get the season sweep on top awards since there is little debate about Lane Phrasemaker (20-3, 1.67) being the favorite for the Vim! Pitcher Award. Only the Swatters' Macho Lopez seems to be serious competition there. Interestingly, Phrasemaker's 20 wins fell just five shy of his father, Blaine's, 25 career wins over six seasons from 2296-2300 with County Crossing, Finch Farm, and Diamond City. He finished 25-52. Baker Dozen also had a great season, setting the CBO record for no-hitters in a season (2) and career (3). It is hard to believe that this is the first meeting between two Railroad League rivals, but it is even harder to believe this season marks just the third time both teams have been in the playoffs in the same season. The other two times were 2303 and 2311. The Yao Guai have not been a winning team, but they have been much better since Piper Wright purchased the team. In FHE's eight total appearances, seven of them have come in the last decade: 2311, 2313-2314, 2317-2320. This marks the fourth-straight season they are here. Roxbury has had a lot more success overall with 2302-2312 making up all of it. This is the Rad Sox's first trip to the playoffs since 2312 with their last playoff series victory coming in the 2311 Sole Survivor Series. That one had marked their fifth appearance and third championship. Other appearances came in 2303-2304 and 2306-2307 with victories in 2303 and 2304. Prediction We like how hot the Sox have been at the end of the year to break their playoff drought. At the same time, we think that FHE is the obviously better team, despite the Rad Sox playing them tightly in the regular season. In the end, we feel that the Yao Guai will overpower Roxbury.

StLee Hall Of Famer Join Date: Jun 2008 Location: NC Posts: 5,265	September 2320 BNN Report News from the CBO, Minors, CCBL, and CYL by Nat Wright-Kawolski 17 February 2320 CBO Special Report: Moe Cronin Passes Away It is with sad news that we report owner Moe Cronin, founder of Swatters, Inc., baseball equipment and one of the original founders of the Commonwealth Baseball Organization. He died losing a bet that he could take a direct blow to the chest from the 2077 World Series bat. His body was recovered 500 yards from original impact. The league will take over operations of the team while a new owner is sought. The Swatters play against the #1 seed Southie Brews in Southie starting tomorrow. Players and team officials were informed and stated that they would operate with business as usual. Cronin came into original commissioner, Nate Howard's, wheelhouse in 2287 when Nate first visited Diamond City and visited Cronin's shop near third base in The Great Green Jewel. Cronin had reported that Howard was the first person to call him a "dumbass" when Cronin was not aware of how the original baseball game was played. Cronin believed that baseball was more of a gladiator's game where baseball bats, which Cronin called "Swattas," were used to bludgeon opponents. Once Cronin learned the real game of baseball, he accepted that his original Swatters would last longer than being used as weapons. He thus founded the team based on his company. __________________ Fan of LSU sports (especially baseball and football), New Orleans Saints, New Orleans Pelicans, and Atlanta Braves (Dale Murphy for the HOF!).
