Glad to see philly make the cut. Philly and WAR have done a good job at taking over teams from the bottom of the standings. They've been active in adding from the FA pool and have swung trades throughout the season. It's not easy to turn around such teams, says the 7th place guy who finished in 7th place last year.

hi everyone--philly special has had an illegal roster for a few days. i'm giving him till 5 pm today to fix it. if he doesn't do it by then, i'll just start undoing his most recent transactions until his roster is legal again.

Hold the phone! Still have a chance w Lance Lynn still to pitch and maybe Petit giving a couple out of the pen. Stay tuned!

If i’m being honest, I don’t actually own a My Bloody Valentine short. But I do own and wear, one from from prog metal giants Between the Buried and Me.

I regularly wear a CAKE shirt—they’re the greatest!
-
Back in my more youthful days, I saw the Doobie Brothers on their first last tour. Being an idiot under the influence, I bought a farewell tour shirt. They were back on tour within 2 years. But I'd buy a Cake shirt, because it's Cake and Cake is simply awesome! Although somebody really needs to explain the Frank Sinatra lyrics to me sometime.

Yeah, for someone in their 20s, the Beatles t is more of a statement than that.

Arraez is wearing a shirt based on the cover of this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ready_to_Die

If he chooses his attire the way he plays centerfield, Cave just reached out and grabbed at nothing in particular.

i'll give Cave credit for not being overly concerned with his image . . .

Linkin Park = Pretty sure that's Jake Cave. It is his Instagram.
-
Looks like all those days of starting Samardzjia at Fenway, Matz at Colorado, and Martin Perez at Minute Maid, and having no regrets even when they put up negative points over three innings are paying off...
-
also, an update on the coupons. it looks like Philly Special is going to fall short on games played, and Trust the Process will likely fall short on IP. i think everyone else is on target to get the full coupon. i warned you guys repeatedly about the arb coupons, so hopefully this doesn't come as a surprise.

who is wearing the Linkin Park shirt?

Not sure what shirt Arraez (second from left) is wearing, and I can't make out a B.I.G. shirt. Pretty sure the guy second from right is Romo. My hot taek is I can take or leave The Beatles. A Day in the Life and Back in the USSR are their only songs that do much for me. Hey Jude is probably the most overrated song in history. When I was growing up on AM radio every Memorial Day/Labor Day you'd get a top 500 countdown and Hey Jude would always be No. 1. WTF?
-
I feel like the guy in the B.I.G. shirt is getting a pass. Wearing a 2pac or B.I.G. shirt is at least as safe/bland as the Beatles in 2019
-
What favorite band t-shirt would each of you wear? I'd go with My Bloody Valentine. Loveless is absolutely perfect.

I read the judge’s actually order and he mentions the bar fight thing several times.

I mean, the meat of the argument was that the guy threatened him with a gun, right? The "bar fight" defense seems like mostly garnish
-
The corollary being that apparently bar fights are totally legal in St. Louis.

My friend successfully represented Carlos Martinez with the ‘it was a bar fight’ defense. https://www.stltoday.com/news/local/crime-and-courts/federal-judge-dismisses-lawsuit-against-cardinals-carlos-martinez-this-was/article_c58168b7-77e2-5634-8453-d870037ed3f9.html

i don't know what the conviction rates are for stuff like this, but i'm gonna say "high". they don't arrest people for this stuff on speculation.

innocent until proven guilty, but this sounds really bad. https://www.wtae.com/article/pirates-closer-felipe-vazquez-arrested/29089187#

the felipe vazquez news blurb was a bit of a shocker. usually it's a stubbed toe or something.

We’d still need to hold off on trades between the end of the season and the end of arbitration.

I think we’d have to do it manually. Ppl could email me abt trades and I could use my commish tools to move them around. I’m open to that as a potential rule change for the offseason.

Can you turn it off? There's an argument for not having a trade deadline in a full season format like this.

I keep forgetting we’re well past the trade deadline.

Don't start Ivan Nova either apparently. I deserved that
-
Dumpster Fiers even "tops" Bundy's outing from last year when he faced seven hitters, got no outs and allowed four homers.
-
Another Ottoneu protip: don't start Mike Fiers against the Astros. Woof, Wildman, that's a tough night
-
Oh, sorry about that. But I have a feeling those 0-20 pts won’t be decisive.

Here's a weird Ottoneu points pro-tip: If a player's salary is manually changed, that player is removed from your lineup. Yesterday I put Alfaro in at C for today, and I just looked now and realized he was suddenly on my bench.
-
Thanks for reminding me about Alfaro. Everyone needs to please self-report on these, because I'm not tracking them.

I agree, much better parity. Not sure if there were more trades this year due to the competition but I do believe the quality of players exchanged were higher. Astudillo traded a lot of surplus to maintain his lead. Other owners at the top were quite active too.
-
Much better parity this year for what it is worth. No one's catching Astudillo, but it was a vastly better race.
-
Glad I didn't think too hard about whether to bid $3.
-
Commish please reset Alfaro's salary to $4. That's what I got him for in the auction.
