There've been 9 games played since the last update, with a tiny amount of shuffling (Texas has put a bit more distance between themselves and the pack, Oakland has caught KC, the Reds have taken firmer control of the NL Central) but the story is more or less the same. Toronto had a good stretch (7-2) to get them a bit less deep in last place, Atlanta is on an 11-game winning streak.
69 games have been played by most of the teams, so we're a bit shy of half-way through. I don't have any additional insights that I've developed over the past week and a half, though I have begun another OOTP project that maybe will help me figure out the ins and outs of the game. I expect I'll devote some posts to it as it gets further underway.
But for the moment, I'll just mention that the Cloverland Leagues All-Star Game is tomorrow at Candlestick. The Home Run Derby was today (congratulations to Nelson Cruz!) and is something of a mini-game that was amusing enough to play.
The starting team for the National League are: Manny Sanguillen (C), Matt Adams (1B), Joe Morgan (2B), Chipper Jones (3B), Troy Tulowitzki (SS), Luis Gonzalez (LF), Al Oliver (CF), and Cody Bellinger (RF). Florida's Kevin Brown will get the start.
For the AL the starters are: Jorge Posada (C), Mike Young (1B), Lou Whitaker (2B), Alex Bregman (3B), Robin Yount (SS), Kirk Gibson (LF), Dave Henderson (CF), Ichiro Suzuki (RF), and Edgar Martinez (DH). The starting pitcher will be Gerrit Cole.
