• Sorry to hear that, Jordan… hope things are looking up. And thanks for helping to make this such a great league! Jason

  Wyoming State Penitentiary AllStars on October 13, 2022 4:14 PM

• Hi all, sorry for the lack of activity towards the end of the year on my behalf, I had some housing insecurity to deal with and fantasy (understandably) was put on the back burner.
  
  A belated congrats to Arthurian Legends on the title!

  @BuntSingles on October 12, 2022 9:52 PM

• Congrats, Legends (and Maulers and Neverminds)! And kudos to @BuntSingles for another fun season! I can't wait for the auction...

  Wyoming State Penitentiary AllStars on October 6, 2022 1:54 AM

• Happy All Star Break everyone! Halfway home.

  Arthurian Legends on July 18, 2022 10:06 AM

• Happy Baseball is Back Day, everyone! Looking forward to the auction next weekend.

  @BuntSingles on March 10, 2022 4:46 PM

• Excellent... thanks for sorting, Jordan. Looking forward to it! Jason

  Wyoming State Penitentiary AllStars on February 28, 2022 2:09 AM

• After speaking with the lone respondent who will have trouble making it on the 20th, they have said that if that date works for everyone else, they will find a proxy to draft on their behalf, if necessary.
  
  Now that I've reviewed the responses from all responding parties, I am setting the draft for Sunday, March 20th at 12:30 pm EST.
  
  If anyone has any questions, feel free to DM me.

  @BuntSingles on February 27, 2022 9:56 PM

• THAT'S THE SECOND TIME I'VE DONE THIS. UGH.
  
  Yes, it's Sunday the 20th, haha.

  @BuntSingles on February 27, 2022 9:48 PM

• Someone send Jordan a 2022 calendar. 😆 haha!

  My Love Letter to Chase Utley on February 27, 2022 2:10 PM

• Hey Jordan, that Sunday, March 20th (not 19th) works great for me.

  Detroit Mashers 1 on February 26, 2022 2:05 PM

• Alright y'all, I've gotten 8 responses (not counting my own) for setting an auction draft date. The date that works for most members of the league is Sunday, March 19th.
  
  I know at least one respondent has marked this date as unavailable, so I will reach out to them to discuss flexibility on this date.
  
  For those that have not responded, if this date is also an issue for you, please let me know and we will proceed from there.
  
  Thanks!
  
  -Jordan

  @BuntSingles on February 26, 2022 12:12 PM

• Steven (Nevermind the Baseballocks) pointed out to me that the dates are incorrect on the survey (March 4-5 should be 5-6, etc). Instead of editing the survey, which will mess up response rates, just keep that in mind when responding.
  
  Thank you to those who have already responded, and a reminder to those that haven't that I would like to set a draft date by this coming Friday.
  
  Hope everyone is well!
  
  - Jordan

  @BuntSingles on February 19, 2022 2:01 PM

• Just sent an email out with the Google Form for deciding our auction date. I'm hoping to gather all responses by next week Friday. If you have any questions or have issues accessing the form, please let me know ASAP!
  
  - Jordan

  @BuntSingles on February 16, 2022 9:51 PM

• Also, on that note:
  
  I'm hearing offers on Shane Bieber, if anyone is interested. :)

  @BuntSingles on February 15, 2022 4:32 PM

• Just realized I clearly cannot read a calendar, and that the keeper deadline is tonight. (Thanks to Diamond Girl for pointing this out!)
  
  I will be posting the link to the Google Form to help us decide a draft date tomorrow afternoon. Thank you all for keeping the trade block active and keeping things interesting as we approach the deadline. Keep wheeling and dealing!
  
  - Jordan

  @BuntSingles on February 15, 2022 4:32 PM

• Eight hours until the deadline!!

  Diamond Girl on February 15, 2022 3:59 PM

• About 30 hours until the cut deadline! Here's to hoping we see a few more trades pushed through at the buzzer.
  
  After that point, please check here, as I will be posting a link to a Google Form to help us determine what date our auction draft will be held.
  
  - Jordan

  @BuntSingles on February 13, 2022 5:51 PM

• Thank you to everyone for renewing before the deadline last night!
  
  Once the cut deadline passes on the 15th, I will be posting a Google Form to help us choose our draft date.

  @BuntSingles on January 31, 2022 6:49 PM

• Alright, looks like we're just waiting on two more to renew. Please do so before midnight EST to prevent any interruptions in your managerial status!
  
  - Jordan

  @BuntSingles on January 30, 2022 3:29 PM

• Hope everyone is well! Just a heads up for managers who have not renewed their teams yet:
  
  You have until midnight tomorrow to renew your team for the 2022 season. Please do so before then so your team is not abandoned!
  
  - Jordan

  @BuntSingles on January 29, 2022 6:59 PM

• with all of my Rockies gear on. Sounds pretty cool. We got to park in Billy's parking space ( front row of the players parking lot) and went to drink some beers in wrigleyville. Well, go figure, that game was rained out ppd and thats as close as I got to Wrigley. Still haven't been in the stadium and I left Chicago that summer.

  Walk Off on January 25, 2022 3:44 PM

• I've made my yearly donation! I didn't realize we had a few cubs fans in here but I have quick story you may appreciate. I'm Geoff, by the way, and I have historically over valued everyone on my team for hopes everyone hits their ceiling the same year.
  
  My college roommate was Billy William's Grandson. Well in 2011 the rockies played the cubs in Wrigley on my roommates birthday so he says he'll get tickets. Right on. The tickets were "Dugout Box" tickets, so i'd be sitting

  Walk Off on January 25, 2022 3:41 PM

• Works for me. Thanks! Jason

  Wyoming State Penitentiary AllStars on January 16, 2022 2:51 PM

• Unless everyone would rather try to get it on the books now, I will be waiting until our cut deadline passes to post a Google Form to help us determine what weekend is best for everyone.
  
  My worry is that if we make a decision too early, folks may forget about it accidentally make conflicting plans.

  @BuntSingles on January 16, 2022 2:20 PM

• Thanks for the flag. Has there been any thought on potential dates for our auction yet — or are we also holding off until there’s a deal? I only bring it up as I’m travelling from the UK to Canada the weekend of April 2 (in theory / assuming I’m allowed in!) and it would be really tricky to make that work on my end. (I can’t recall which weekend we’ve traditionally done it — but I think it’s been a couple weeks before Opening Day?)

  Wyoming State Penitentiary AllStars on January 16, 2022 3:11 AM

• Alright y'all, the keeper deadline has officially been delayed until 2/15. Enjoy your extra time to wheel and deal before we make our final cuts and start preparing for the auction draft.
  
  Also, be sure to pay your renewal fees by the 31st of this month if you have not already!

  @BuntSingles on January 15, 2022 8:51 PM

• Welcome to the league, Phil! Looking forward to making my yearly donation, please spend it wisely. :)

  @BuntSingles on January 12, 2022 7:13 PM

• Hey all, my name is Phil. I'll be taking over the 7th Inning Streakers, and I must say that I do enjoy the name. I'm a colleague of Matt and Jason's and a lifelong Cubs fan. Very much enjoyed watching them beat the Cards at Wrigley in the 2016 NLDS. Even enjoyed tearing up weeks later at an Applebees I had fled to after work for the WS. It's been less fun watching that team fall apart recently.
  
  Look forward to winning the league in my first season! Just have to figure out how it al

  7th Inning Streakers ⚡ on January 12, 2022 5:39 PM

• Alright, I have vacated Tyler's managerial spot and just need to wait on Phil to send me his username so I can place him in charge of his squad. Thanks for helping fill the spot so quickly!

  @BuntSingles on January 10, 2022 11:41 PM

• Brilliant. He’s interested. His name is Phil and he’s at phil.mccausland@gmail.com. I’ll let him know to keep an eye out for an email. Cheers — Matt

  The deGrims on January 10, 2022 10:00 PM

• Excellent! Feel free to reach out to him and share the team page (copying the URL should let anyone view the team) so he knows what he’s getting himself into, and if he agrees, I’d be happy to send him an invite to take over the squad.
  
  Thanks for the help!

  @BuntSingles on January 10, 2022 3:49 PM

• Hey commish. I know a guy who'd be interested and would be a good custodian — he wouldn't let the team fade. He's a Cubs fan, and a colleague of mine and Jason's.
  
  Happy trails, Tyler. Thanks for last year (even if you fleeced me!)

  The deGrims on January 9, 2022 9:09 PM

• If we do not have a manager lined up by the middle of this coming week, I will be posting the opening on all of my online FBB communities.
  
  Thank you all, and thank you Tyler for all of your contributions!

  @BuntSingles on January 9, 2022 7:55 PM

• Also, while I'm here I will announce this:
  
  7th Inning Streakers will be stepping down as manager of their team. With the keeper deadline quickly approaching, I am hoping to fill this opening as soon as possible to give the new manager time to make their cuts, as well as make and field trade offers.
  
  I have plenty of places to post the opening, but if anyone here has someone who would be interested, I would prefer to "keep it in the family."
  
  Please

  @BuntSingles on January 9, 2022 7:52 PM

• Hi all, sorry for the delay in replying to these!
  
  I checked out the Commissioner settings, and the January 31st deadline is set by Ottoneu, not by individual leagues.
  
  Based on the lack of communication between the league and the players, I would anticipate that the lockout continues for a while.
  
  With that in mind, it is best to operate under the assumption that the current deadline stands as is.

  @BuntSingles on January 9, 2022 7:10 PM

• Hey! I think it's a good idea and I appreciate you thinking ahead. Niv posted this 4 days ago:
  
  https://community.ottoneu.com/t/keeper-deadline-adjust-if-lockout-occurs/10611/2
  
  Looks like the keeper deadline could be extended to the 15th. As far as I can tell there is no ability to do that on our side (I could be wrong) but either way the choice could be made for us soon by the league dev.

  Nevermind the Baseballocks on January 7, 2022 2:36 PM

• Happy New Year gang!
  
  I was wondering what everyone thought about pushing back the keeper deadline in light of the lockout. Usually there's a little more clarity with everyone's roles and team situation by the time January 31st rolls around. I'm fine either way, but I definitely think that would be something that could benefit everyone. Not even sure if it's possible.
  
  Love,
  Diamond Girl

  Diamond Girl on January 7, 2022 9:35 AM

• Happy holidays, everyone!

  @BuntSingles on December 24, 2021 4:32 PM

• Afternoon, y'all!
  
  We've got just over one day until arbitration is wrapped up (11:59 pm EST on the 14th), and open season for trade discussion begins! Thanks to everyone who has their arbitration dollars allocated.
  
  Even with next season in flux due to CBA negotiations, I'm looking forward to seeing everyone update those trade blocks and start letting some offers fly.
  
  - Jordan

  @BuntSingles on November 13, 2021 3:43 PM

• Good evening all!
  
  Thanks to everyone who has already completed their Arbitration allocations. I appreciate you being on the ball with them.
  
  While we still have a couple of teams still to allocate their arb budgets, a reminder that everyone can still move their money around as they please before the deadline at 11:59 PM on November 14th -- just under one week from tonight.
  
  If anyone has any questions regarding arbitration or anything else, feel free to shoot

  @BuntSingles on November 8, 2021 7:39 PM

• I've been away, so just spotted this news now... but thanks for everything over the years, Tyler. You've been a fantastic commissioner who has helped ensure this is such a great league, and long may that continue. (But I also hear you -- and can rather relate!)

  Wyoming State Penitentiary AllStars on November 1, 2021 4:40 AM

• Congrats on all of that! I had a year like that in 2016. Thankfully I hadn’t discovered the black hole time sink of fantasy baseball yet. :D

  Arthurian Legends on October 22, 2021 5:38 PM

• Hey, Party Deckers! Congratulations on making it through another season. Also, a big congratulations to WAMCO on the win! I have a few notes for you. First, arbitration has started, and it's time to allocate your money. Second, I'm stepping down as commissioner, and letting Crispy take over. In a nutshell, I've moved to a new state, bought the first home, gotten a new job, and had a new baby (this is the baby league after all), and all of that since opening day.

  7th Inning Streakers ⚡ on October 22, 2021 4:34 PM

• Crazy to think that Arbitration starts in just 5 days. Excited to see what shakes out in the offseason between that and trade conversations.

  @BuntSingles on October 10, 2021 2:51 PM

• Hahaha no doubt!

  Diamond Girl on October 7, 2021 9:59 AM

• FWIW, that wasn't just a trade ploy on Aug. 3, Diamond Girl! I looked at the math and genuinely couldn't see any way to potentially finish above 2nd. But hey, baseball is nuts (and I'm clearly not a mathematician). And best of all: I still have Manoah!!!

  Wyoming State Penitentiary AllStars on October 7, 2021 4:41 AM

• Congrats indeed! I remember everyone thought I had power locked up with cheap Gallo and JDM but I ended up middle of pack there I think. Goes to show that the season is a long one full of twists and turns. Congrats to the top 3 on navigating all of that to finish with trophies. I love this ottoneu stuff. It’s been fun every year!

  Arthurian Legends on October 6, 2021 8:51 PM

• Congrats Jason! Well deserved title! Even though I’ve been stuck in mediocrity, this league has quickly become my favorite as well.
  
  I’m a Phillies fan, but I think I can get behind that Go Brewers bandwagon

  My Love Letter to Chase Utley on October 6, 2021 8:39 PM

• Congrats on the title Jason! A good win for the Geckos, and you didn’t even need Springer. And thanks to everyone for a great season. Love this format. Looking forward to next year.

  The deGrims on October 6, 2021 7:15 PM

• Also, to echo Steven: Go Brewers!
