Update: 4-20-2024

League Schedule

Coming into the last week of games for April, and the East’s pitching continues to lead the way:

In the East, Colorado is on top a large part to pitching, as their team batting ave is a measly .223. M Kelly has not allowed an earned run in any start, and is 3-0. K Gausman is 2-0 with a 2.25 era. The Bayou Saints are second in the East, and J DeGrom hasn’t even won a game yet. He’s 0-1 with a 2.66 era, and if he gets untracked the Saints will certainly be a beast…. For 10 more innings. N Hoerner is batting a phenomenal .338, scoring 13 runs with 12 batted in. Hell’s Kitchen is over .500, and S Alcantara is certainly cooking with a 3-0 record and 0.46 era. All last season I was writing how Alcantara was dragging the team down, pitching way below his card, and this season he seems to make me eat my words. B Miller, the rookie, has co-ace honors as he is 2-1 with a 3.65 era. Lindenhurst, a pre-season playoff favorite among the pundit class, is 6-9 despite a 3.95 team era and .255 team batting ave. Is this the snakebit team of 2024? (Last year my own Swingers could have been construed as “snakebit,” since it was marked to at least finish 2nd in the West, if not it’s winner). If this continues, I feel for you, Ken.

In the West, the teams are a little behind, but the Cardinals are outplaying everyone. Today, Vatican City can be found “blessing the wine” at D'Jais, otherwise known as "guido-central." One big guido is J Soler, who has 23 rbi for the month despite hitting just .225. He’s pretty clutch, hitting behind A Riley (.317 ave) and C Walker (.313 ave). What’s scary is S Strider hasn’t even relaxed yet, as he’s 2-2 with a pretty bad 5.63 era. Order a couple shots at the bar, Spencer, and forget this month. Yes, yes, the Rockers are still in the playoff hunt, and I’m sure I’m going to get an earful when I play him face to face next month for disparaging his pitching staff. But maybe I’m wrong. Maybe Rocky intentionally built his team so that his pitching staff gives up more homeruns (29), than his position players hit (26). Who am I to question a winning strategy? As long as he’s got M Betts hitting .345 with 7 homers, 13 rbi and 16 runs scored, the team will be a threat. Woodland Hills finds itself under .500 because the team has only 3 out of it’s 14 hitters batting over .229. What happened to the youth movement that produced a .250 team ave last year? The 2024 Chompers are barely above the Mendoza line with a .203 team ave.
