Players acquired

IF Darwin Barney, by Triple-A's (August #3)
SS Yuniesky Betancourt, by Misfits (August #1)
Notes
Bolstered by three solid pitching outings, the Arbitration Losers finished the week strong to recapture the overall lead and lock down the first-round win in the head-to-head playoffs. The Losers will take a week off from head-to-head competition and get ready to likely face the Triple-A's. Pitch You Blockhead put up a good fight, but losing Hanley Ramirez for the weekend really hurt, so the Gladstone Goatwhisperers advance to the semifinals, where they likely will face Holliday Road. The Triple-A's and Holliday Road easily won their playoff openers by such large margins that they are in good standing to claim the win on aggregate points. The Triple-A's have a 63-point advantage, while Holiday Road leads by 108 points. Big deficits indeed.

Notes
The Arbitration Losers' weeklong hold on the overall lead was broken. The Holliday Road is enjoying a huge week thanks to guys like Mike Morse, Starlin Castro and Matt Holliday. Pitch You Blockhead remains in its must-win game in the head-to-head playoff, trailing the Goatwhisperers by just six points. PYB hopes for big things Sunday from Clayton Kershaw, while the GGs countered with Zach Greinke. The Misfits trail the Losers by only eight points heading into Sunday. But the Losers will have three pitchers on the mound, so the Misfits face an uphill challenge. Holliday Road and Triple-A's will get head-to-head wins. The VC Appraisers and Ubaldo Spots need big days Sunday to cut the margin of victory down, so their hopes of advancing on aggregate points aren't out of reach.

Notes
Remember when the VC Appraisers were in first place every day from April to last Saturday? Well, now they're in sixth place, 71 points back. And they're trailing Holliday Road in the head-to-head playoffs, they're in bad position to win the two-week aggregate. The Misfits can't catch a break. First Yadier Molina sprayed it, instead saying it, and that cost him a suspension. Then Jeff Karstens got lit up by the Padres, of all teams. Still the Misfits are not out of their head-to-head must win game with the Arbitration Losers, trailing 128-106. Pitch You Blockhead is hanging tough with the Gladstone Goatwhisperers. And the Ubaldo Spots can't catch a break at 3B. First, Scott Rolen got hurt and went on the DL. Then Chipper Jones got hurt and didn't go on the DL. Then they traded for David Freese and in his first game since he was acquired, he got plunked in the head.

For the first time in three months, there is a new overall leader in the FBLG. For weeks, the VC Appraisers have struggled with injuries. Some other teams have appeared ready to challenge the overall lead, but would fade back. Now, the entire pack has closed the gap on the VCA's. The league actually has been very competitive in the 2 through 6 spots all season. Now, that the VC Appraisers have fallen back to the pack, we expect a very exciting final two months of the season. Teams from first to fourth are separated by 29 points. The first-to-sixth spread is 68 points.

Here are the seedings and pairings for the playoffs. Ties were broken by overall point standings. Remember, the Nos. 1 and 2 seeds only need to win games in Week 19 or 20 to advance. Nos. 7 and 8 seeds must win both games to advance. If series between No. 3 vs. 6 or No. 4 vs. 5 teams ends tied 1-1, aggregate scores from Week 19 and 20 break ties.
No. 1 Gladstone Goatwhisperers (12-6) vs. No. 8 Pitch You Blockhead (9-9)
Goatwhisperers earned No. 1 seed by winning last four games and six of last seven. GGs won both meetings with PYB this season.
No. 2 Arbitration Losers (10-8) vs. No. 7 Misfits (9-9)
A rematch of Week 18 game. A loss by Holliday Road last week opened the door for the Losers to claim No. 2 seed. Losers won both matchups with Misfits this season.
No. 3 Triple-A's (10-8) vs. No. 6 Ubaldo Spots (9-9)
Triple-A's won their final three games, while Spots come in having won 3 of last 4. Triple-A's took both meetings this season with the Spots.
No. 4 Holliday Road (10-8) vs. No. 5 VC Appraisers (9-9)
VCA's come into playoffs on serious skid, having lost last four in a row. They have not scored more than 178 in a week since week 11. Holliday Road got bumped from No. 2 spot by spoiler-playing Chico's Chuggers. Two teams split their meetings this season.

Triple-A's won their final three games, while Spots come in having won 3 of last 4. Triple-A's took both meetings this season with the Spots.
No. 4 Holliday Road (10-8) vs. No. 5 VC Appraisers (9-9)
VCA's come into playoffs on serious skid, having lost last four in a row. They have not scored more than 178 in a week since week 11. Holliday Road got bumped from No. 2 spot by spoiler-playing Chico's Chuggers. Two teams split their meetings this season.

Head-to-head update
Week 17 head-to-head scores
Triple-A's 222, Holliday Road 151
Gladstone Goatwhisperers 172, Pitch You Blockhead 137
Misfits 210, Chico's Chuggers 96
Arbitration Losers 205, VC Appraisers 163
Ubaldo Spots 189, Pickle Bugs 126
Last week's results have clinched head-to-head playoff spots for seven of the eight teams. And the Ubaldo Spots (8-9) have all but clinched the final playoff spot. The Spot could still be tied by the Pickle Bugs (7-10), but the tiebreaker is overall points so the Bugs would need to tie the Spot AND outscore them by 150 point this week. Unlikely.
The Gladstone Goatwhisperers (11-6) have clinched one of the top two seeds and the advantages that go with that. Holliday Road (10-7) need a win this week to clinch the second top-two seed. Five other teams are tied at 9-8 (Pitch You Blockhead, VC Appraisers, Arbitration Losers, Triple-A's and Misfits) are hoping to maybe claim a top-two spot, but also trying to avoid qualifying as a No. 7 or 8 seed.

Midseason report
Overall standings
1. VC Appraisers (Dave-Kevin) 2632
2. Holliday Road (Bill-Cliff) 2542
3. Ubaldo Spots (Rich) 2530
4. Triple-A's (Ken) 2524
4. Arbitration Losers (Tim) 2524
6. Pickle Bugs (Jon) 2478
7. Gladstone Goatwhisperers (Arik) 2460
8. Pitch You Blockhead (Scott) 2287
9. Misfits (Reid) 2279
10. Chico's Chuggers (Shawn) 2157
The VC Appraisers continue to nurse a comfortable lead, thanks to three 200+ point weeks in four from Weeks 3 to 6. They have five 200+ weeks in total, but none since Week 11. Yet they still hold a 90-point lead because none of the challengers have been able to sustain enough constant pressure.
Yet from places No. 2 to No. 7, things are very competitive. The Ubaldo Spots are 102 point back. The Triple-A's and Arbitration Losers are 108 points off the pace. Buoyed by a huge 240-point week last week, the Pickle Bugs moved within 154 points of the top spot, while the Goatwhisperers are still reeling from a 93-point week in Week 14. They're 172 points back.
Pitch You Blockhead and Misfits are still looking for a second-half spark, while Chico's Chuggers are trying to avoid finished dead last for a second consecutive season.
Head to Head
While the overall standings hasn't seen a lead change in weeks, the head-to-head battle is going right down to the wire.
Three weeks left in the head-to-head regular season, and no one has clinched anything.
The three teams with 9-6 records (VC Appraisers, Goatwhisperers and Holliday Road) are in good position to advance to the playoffs. It's not impossible, but very hard to imagine a 9-9 team not moving on to the postseason.
The Arbitration Losers and Pitch You Blockhead (8-7) can seriously improve their chances with a win this week, especially PYB because their overall standing is not so hot (overall points is a head-to-head tiebreaker).
The four 7-8 teams (Triple-A's, Pickle Bugs, Misfits and Ubaldo Spots) won't be eliminated with one more loss, but it doesn't help. It's especially true for the Misfits because their low overall standings. The Misfits meet Ubaldo Spots in Week 16, so (barring a tie) one team will be 7-9 after Week 16.
And then there's Chico's Chuggers, who need three wins and a whole lot of help.

League notes
Owners looking for a dent in the VC Appraisers' armor are still looking. VCA has pushed their overall lead to 137 points. Teams in spots 2 through 7 are fairly tightly bunched, so we can expect a competitive league if the VCA's ever do actually falter. Owners lookings for something to hang their hopes on, it has to be the VCA's bench. The Appraisers were the only FBLG team not to burn at least three April moves (they burned only one and that was to retain a DL'd player who was acquired in the supplemental draft). Their bench currently consists of a player in the minors (Domonic Brown), a No. 4 outfielder (John Jay), and a pretty good pitcher (Jonathan Sanchez). So if something happens to one of their pitchers, they'll be fine. If something happens to a position player, they could be hurting.
Also, last-place Pitch You Blockhead are approaching the dreaded "Bandito Line." PYB is 275 points out of first. The biggest deficit overcome by an FBLG champion was 299 points in 1997 by the Beezabol Banditos.
The first FBLG trade of the season was finalized Wednesday night, with the Pickle Bugs sending 1B Carlos Pena and 2B Danny Espinosa to the Holliday Road for RP Joel Hanrahan and 2B Omar Infante
Midweek replacements
Pickle Bugs, On Thursday, placed RP Jonathan Broxton on the disabled list; traded 2B Danny Espinosa; activated RP Joel Hanrahan and 2B Omar Infante (acquired in trade).

League notes
Owners looking for a dent in the VC Appraisers' armor are still looking. VCA has pushed their overall lead to 137 points. Teams in spots 2 through 7 are fairly tightly bunched, so we can expect a competitive league if the VCA's ever do actually falter. Owners lookings for something to hang their hopes on, it has to be the VCA's bench. The Appraisers were the only FBLG team not to burn at least three April moves (they burned only one and that was to retain a DL'd player who was acquired in the supplemental draft). Their bench currently consists of a player in the minors (Domonic Brown), a No. 4 outfielder (John Jay), and a pretty good pitcher (Jonathan Sanchez).

With a limited schedule Monday and pair of rainouts Tuesday, scoring has been limited this week. Basically, if you've had a pitcher throw -- and throw well -- you're scoring this week. If not, you're not. ... Bad news for Pitch You Blockhead: They are more than 200 points off the lead and it's only Week 4. Good news: They're winning this week.
