2042.5: Hammers Use Devil Magic

Post by lordtoffee » Sun May 10, 2020 11:45 pm

It turns out that Ben Heuring is trying to turn the Hammers into a very good late season team. A strong couple of weeks has the Hammers sitting at 67-68, and just a couple of games out of the coveted Bancroft Wild Card slot. With all of the drama in the Burt seemingly gone, interest among the BBA hipster fans and UMEBA fans has shifted to the battle between the Hammers, Athens, and Cedars fighting for one spot. All three teams are quite deserving of a playoff spot, but only one will get to play for the United Cup. This race is getting towards the wild levels that the Atlantic has been showing. The Hammers have a chance with a lot of divisional clashes left, and can use their prior championship experiences to aid them in the quest to return to glory.

One of the Hammers players that has been critical in a bit of an understated way is RF Carlos Alonso. Carlos has been the team's sparkplug ever sense coming over from Huntsville a couple of years ago. He won't hit for power, but his game is predicated on getting on base, which makes him a perfect leadoff hitter. In an era of play where GMs are looking for power at the top, Carlos gets on base consistently and is a player that refuses to strike out against even the best of the UMEBA pitching. The Hammers may be a team that is defined by their power, but Carlos is an added weapon without overwhelming power.
