Are You Ready for Some Baseball? the Day Has Finally Arrived to Break out the Bats and Gloves and Play Some Ball AROUND THE DIAMOND IN THE ABL OPENING WEEKEND EDITION 1/30/20 BIG STORY: Are you ready for some baseball? The day has finally arrived to break out the bats and gloves and play some ball. A few minor changes with game play with an updated cut-off rule and closers losing symbols before the 8 th inning. There was also major change with the trade review board getting dissolved. There was also a change in the league’s makeup as one team re-joined the circuit and one team went inactive. The Oceanside Leprechauns managed by Casey Allen re-joined the National Division in his 5th season of play after one year inactive to back-fill for the departure of the Orlando Sharks. Chesapeake Bay made the most noise draft day as they owned several early round picks and wrapped up all their drafting in the 9 th round. The class of the American Division early on is the 2019 Bambino Cup finalist Dexter Thunder Geese chased by Albany, Ocracoke, and Long Beach Island. In the National Division, Lenny's post draft rankings stacked the Chesapeake Bay Channel Cats as the earlier favorites. Garden State and the defending champion Titusville are a few steps back in the chase for the division crown. Sleeper pick to watch out for is the Miek Trout led Long Beach Island Starfish as a team that could surprise some folks as the 31st season of the American Baseball League “Bambino Cup” quest begins now!!!!! 2020 ABL STANDINGS NATIONAL W L GB PCT RS RA AWAY HOME DIV VS AD Crown Heights 0 0 -- .000 0 0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 Titusville 0 0 -- .000 0 0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 Chesapeake Bay 0 0 -- .000 0 0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 Clayton 0 0 -- .000 0 0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 Garden State 0 0 -- .000 0 0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 Oceanside 0 0 -- .000 0 0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 AMERICAN W L GB PCT RS RA AWAY HOME DIV VS ND Ocracoke 0 0 -- .000 0 0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 Dexter 0 0 -- .000 0 0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 Tallahassee 0 0 -- .000 0 0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 Long Beach 0 0 -- .000 0 0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 Albany 0 0 -- .000 0 0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 East Bay 0 0 -- .000 0 0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 La Jolla 0 0 -- .000 0 0 0-0 0-0 0-0 0-0 X-Playoff Spot Y-Division Z- Tied for Playoff Spot DEADLINES: Play Week begins January 31st 6th Recap and Score Sheets due February 10th 8 p.m. eastern 2020 ABL TEAMS AND MANAGERS: National Division Chesapeake Bay Channel Cats (31st Season) Scott Allen Titusville Perfectos (13th Season) Lenny Saaf (Defending Champions) Oceanside Leprechauns (5th Season) Casey Allen Crown Heights Kings (3rd Season) Chris Marcello Clayton Steamships (2nd Season) Wayne Scott Garden State Warriors (2nd Season) Bruce Keilin American Division Tallahassee Terriers (30th Season) Don Allen Jr. Long Beach Island Starfish (18th Season) Skibby Bomysoad Dexter thunder Geese (16th Season) Jason Cupelo Ocracoke Blackbeards (13th Season) Duran Allen La Jolla Juggernaut (6th Season) Kevin Waters Albany Lo-Sox (4th Season) Michael Saaf East Bay Grease (3rd Season) Joe Parisi ABL 2020 IP’S Tallahassee 15 Titusville 15 Dexter 15 Long Beach Island 15 Ocracoke 15 Chesapeake Bay 15 La Jolla 15 Albany 15 Oceanside 15 East Bay 15 Crown Heights 15 Clayton 15 Garden State 15 ROLLING DICE?? ( Q and A with Game Play Notes) (PLEASE TAKE NOTE) (Italic are present in the current charts) 1. 6/Short rated pitcher starts and only pitches two innings. Can the pitcher pitch with only three days of rest and start with a “0” stamina? ANSWER: No. You must have a minimum stamina of “8” to pitch on three days’ rest with a -10 adjustment. Basically, the pitcher must have at least an 18 stamina on their card to pitch on three days of short rest. 2. Closer rated pitcher comes in to retire the last out of the 7th inning (symbols lost), then returns to the mound in the 8 th inning. Does the pitcher regain his symbols? ANSWER: Yes. The pitcher regains their symbols from the 8 th inning through extra innings. 3. 6/Closer rated pitcher starts the game as an opener. Does the pitcher retain his symbols even though it’s before the 8 th inning? ANSWER: Yes. 6/Closer rated pitchers maintain all symbols as a starter but lose them in innings 1 through 7 while pitching in relief. BRUCE SPOTLIGHT: Bruce performed a quick evaluation of the SP ranking matchups. In terms of ease of schedule (by ranking pitcher only), C-Bay, Garden State, and La Jolla have their work cut out. Tally, T-Ville, and Clayton have the lightest. This assumes teams throw their pitchers in the best order. Take with a grain of salt since other factors were ignored. FUTURE ABL MANAGERS: Reminder to all managers that if you find someone interested in baseball let’s get them started in the ABL Developmental Plan playing practice games. Contact the Commish for a sample set of cards/charts and start teaching the ABL’s next Billy Martin the excitement of tabletop baseball. ABL Developmental Plan Guidelines: At a minimum new perspective managers, must complete the following: 1. Two practice games with an ABL Manager with score sheets. 2. One practice game with an ABL Manager on the dice roller. 3. Submit one recap of one of the practice games to be included in Around the Diamond. 4. Total of three practice games must be completed with ABL Managers. 5. Then the new perspective manager should request an ABL Expansion Application if an opening is available or request to put added to the expansion team waiting list. 6. Finally, the new perspective manager should pay the $60 operational fee once their ABL Expansion Application is approved.
