*From now on any trade where a team trades a draft pick that they don't own, the trade will be nullified. Thanks!*

[Z]

More and more impressed with this team's perseverance despite suffering injury after injury.

To lead the wild card race and still have a shot at the division blows me away.

Oh, and Steve Suarez suffers his third serious injury of the season. Oblique, his back, and now a severe concussion. There's a slight chance he returns for October.

It really sucks.

Not to be tough but it's happened in 3 trades over the past 2 SIMs. I know we as commishes make mistakes processing them, and GM's make mistakes when the trade juices start flowing...so there isn't any consequences other than the trade being nullified and fixed for the next SIM. It's just too much for us to look through the pick thread and find a pick we think the receiving GM would be happy with.

This has happened many times before to nearly everyone of us and GM's have been allowed to make a change that works after the fact and there have been no issues.

Why the change now?

[Matt]

Because several times the changes weren't done and it was a mess. I remember Brad having to PM certain owners 3 times to get a proper change.

It's not a big deal. The trade just doesn't go through that SIM. That way everyone is happy and understands what they are getting in a trade and we're not forcing an owner to concede to something that wasn't originally agreed upon.

[Matt]

Or I could just go the old Clay way and if you trade a 2015.4 and don't have it I make it a 2015.3.

[Z]

It doesn't seem like a bad change to me.

If you get the pick wrong in the announcement, you correct it for the following sim.

"Nullify" doesn't mean "You're not allowed to trade this player to that team." It just means you're responsible for fixing it and the commissioner isn't going to hold the sim for you.

I don't like the idea of forcing the commissioners to figure out an alternative. Let the GMs do it.

Playing decent baseball.

This is the first time since Clay that I've heard of this.

Normally, I get a post that says fix it and it gets fixed.

Then there's no change.

13-13 in July. Carolina went 12-12 so we're okay. I think we're an above .500 team but not at the level we were.

I conceded the division a month ago.

[Delandis]

5-1 and the Bulldogs finally look like a real contender from top to bottom. All of our recent additions look good too.

-Dave Johnson (SP) comes in and shows his #1 ability with a 7 IP, 4 H, 1 ER performance.

-Andy Garcia (SS) is giving me the extra power against lefties that we were missing (.400/.526/1.326 vs. LHP).

-Bobby Tiscareno (1B) shows that he still has a decent eye with a .409 OBP.

Now we just need to avoid injuries in the 2nd half and push for that #1 seed.

[Z]

avoid injuries

[Sharkn20]

Another winning week for the Sharks 51-54

Proud of our turnaround.

4 more SIMs until Moore gets his call to the BLB the kid is bombing the ball over .300 all year long in AAA

SP Fernandez will be called up again.

C Franco will get the chance too

Very interesting developments down to A and AA

Blanchard seems the real deal in 2B, still developing his bat with 17 years only and almost 6 in all the skills. Hopefully he will develop his D# as well :)
