4-3 week. Split with Toronto and took 2 of 3 from LA. Not bad.

Henry Rodrigues wins Player of the Week hitting a home run in four straight games. He goes into the break hitting 24 home runs. He had 22 in 154 games last season. Definitely been our best hitter this year.

Nice to see Tamieke make the All Star team again. Second in three years. McPherson and Perkins make the team for a second consecutive season. Rodrigues gets his first invitation, and it's well deserved. Also Tyler Quinn gets in there but he's more of Toronto's guy for his first half performance.

Our system is still 9th but that should change once Schiefelbein and Roberston fall off. Tommy Wright keeps climbing and is killing the ball in AAA. Need to find a place for him soon.

All three affiliates showing up #1 in the Power Rankings this week. All basically playing .700 ball. Would be nice if my BLB squad can get to .600.


Luckily we traded for Pang because I just lost Leo Martinez for the season and then some. Need to figure out 3B for our future. I like Pang's defense but not paying him what we wants to just play defense.

Speaking of defense. CJ Wilkinson committed his first error all season. Figured it was bound to happen.

5-1 week in the Ale — took three of four from Pittsburgh.

We lead the Ale division by five games at the break and own the best record in baseball.

Strikeout king Adan Neubauer, power-hitting catcher Voodoo Davila, and Fernando Hernandez will represent the Guides in the All-Star Game.

Sorry for the slacking Matt. So we can't trim our rosters until the players clear waivers?

Do we offer Manager selections for the All-Star game anymore?

TJ Dunn is not an All-Star apparently? Despite leading the league in home runs and RBIs....

Just wondering if we can have a Manager somehow add him. It's something small but adds to the legacy of the player.

[Matt]

I just DFAd guys and made sure they would be pulled back if claimed. Not really sure where to go.

You can always release them. Or wait till they clear and place them back on your roster and cut someone else. If they are claimed I don't know if they get placed back right away causing another roster sim error

As for the ASG it's all HAL now. We can't add or remove players.

[Jistic]

Ok I'll wait for them to clear.

Biggest omission ever. Just shocked, really.

I wonder, is the game in an IL park? Mayne him being a DH caused a selection issue. I don't know.

Damn, that's unfortunate.

3-3 sim; splitting both series with Morgantown and Death Valley.

Washington is represented in the All-Star Game by SP Robby Duffy, CL David Rodriguez, 1B Diego Flores and 2B Danny Romero.

Feeling pretty damn good at the All-Star break.

another 3-3 sim, but at least I took a series from Baltimore for the first time in forever. Ricky Murrillo (OF) gets to the all star game 3 years after being taken 2nd in the 2006 first year player draft. He's the only one on the Tobs deserving.

[umd]

3-3 Sim, just what I figured. Looking forward to the 2nd half. Coma, Boutin, Manning our only AS.

Anybody getting a 202 Error uploading? It was working for me earlier but now it's not.
