• Oh yeah man for sure. Enjoy. As a Tigers fan, it hurts some

  North Stars on August 18, 2020 4:35 PM

• Just had to give you some grief. I was supposed as anyone he got called up right after our deal. Lol

  Fly the W on August 18, 2020 3:31 PM

• I didn't think he would have any chance this year. Oh well. I'm not trading him in my other league

  North Stars on August 18, 2020 1:47 PM

• But I want to cry a little

  North Stars on August 18, 2020 1:46 PM

• There's no crying in baseball

  Fly the W on August 18, 2020 1:39 PM

• I'm fine with it. I get to pitch Skubal today. I never would have made that trade if I had any idea he was going to be promoted. It was announced like an hour later. Doh

  North Stars on August 18, 2020 1:36 PM

• No worries, you didn't do anything wrong. Thanks for checking.

  Walker Off on August 18, 2020 1:16 PM

• Sorry, really messed this up. According to Niv, trade window cannot be altered during the season.

  AKA Big Papi on August 18, 2020 1:12 PM

• Yup, that's my fault. I'll switch that over now.

  AKA Big Papi on August 18, 2020 1:06 PM

• I see trades are still 48 hours. That's just silly, can we make it 24 already? I've got guys dropping like flies and this wait is unnecessary in my humble opinion.

  Fly the W on August 18, 2020 12:47 PM

• Awesome! I'm sure I've fallen a few as I've had some negative pitching performances over the last week. And your trade for Bregman, Ozuna, etc was the first trade and instigator of this madness (albeit extremely fun madness)

  Walker Off on August 18, 2020 11:04 AM

• Well since we didn't make the trade review 24 hours, I get to start Skubal today!! Sucks I traded him the morning right before his promotion was announced. I'm a Tigers fan

  North Stars on August 18, 2020 11:03 AM

• I'm only 50.. buy I'll take it

  North Stars on August 18, 2020 11:01 AM

• Naw. You started it. And I had injuries. Just trying to catch up. We both are int he global top 50 now!

  North Stars on August 18, 2020 11:01 AM

• I'm only acting in response to your activity! LOL

  Walker Off on August 18, 2020 10:58 AM

• Contender, slow down man

  North Stars on August 18, 2020 10:55 AM

• I'm looking for either a SS or 3B to replace Bichette. I have a great trade block

  North Stars on August 16, 2020 11:50 PM

• Oh for sure. I thought it was already

  North Stars on August 15, 2020 5:09 PM

• The daily for this year makes 24 hours sound good this season

  Walker Off on August 15, 2020 10:46 AM

• Hey all, is anyone opposed to switching the trade window from 48 to 24 hours? With a shortened season and upcoming deadline in two weeks it makes more sense to process trades quicker. If you feel strongly about keeping it at 48 hours, post a message by end of day today.

  AKA Big Papi on August 15, 2020 9:33 AM

• The last message was in reference to most my leagues having the top team with 2200 or less atm

  North Stars on August 13, 2020 7:10 PM

• I want to catch up to Mr. 5 in global leaderboard. Lets put this league on everyone's radar. 3-4 teams in the top 50 global

  North Stars on August 13, 2020 7:07 PM

• Honestly, send me deals for anyone and I will counter most likely.

  North Stars on August 13, 2020 7:07 PM

• $4 Soroko also available. He should be ready for beginning of next year and is projected as a $20+ guy

  North Stars on August 13, 2020 7:06 PM

• I'm going all out this year. I will trade Lux, Manning, Skubal, and even Carlson who is being called up. I am looking for a tip top 3B, OF (depth mostly for my team), and a stud RP.

  North Stars on August 13, 2020 7:04 PM

• Speaking of trades, I could really use another good RP and cap space. Didn't realize I was so low on both

  North Stars on August 13, 2020 2:17 PM

• Looking to move Flaherty for a big OF bat.

  AKA Big Papi on August 13, 2020 12:39 PM

• Thanks for pointing that out!

  Walker Off on August 13, 2020 8:24 AM

• Go to our standings and there's a link to the GLB there.

  Trash Can Drummers on August 12, 2020 5:41 PM

• I don't see me, lol, where's the Global Leaderboard?!?!?

  Walker Off on August 12, 2020 5:15 PM

• Shout out to The Contender who is #4 on the Global Leaderboard. I see you.

  Trash Can Drummers on August 12, 2020 4:58 PM

• I work with him and messaged him. He's in another league of mine and is doing stuff no clue

  WrongSideOfThePlate on July 31, 2020 1:58 PM

• Does anyone know him? Trying to contact him to see if he's actually participating this year.

  AKA Big Papi on July 31, 2020 1:07 PM

• What's up with Tilting?

  AKA Big Papi on July 31, 2020 1:06 PM

• I have good prospects available for SP/RP

  North Stars on July 30, 2020 10:53 AM

• They can’t legally change the prize structure, even if the season changes in an unprecedented fashion.

  JLo(we) and the Band of Brandons on July 24, 2020 10:41 AM

• Not that it matters now but is Ottoneu really making every pay the $100 for this 60 game season? I mean I know we all paid like months ago but this is the only league I know that is doing that. Oh well. Also I will be out of contention within a week or two since I've got no money and half my guys are on IL and opting out so in about 10 days send me trade offer for prospects I'll win this thing in 2025. :)

  WrongSideOfThePlate on July 23, 2020 5:50 PM

• Yeah, if you click the headline To the community site at the top of the page, Niv outlined all of the changes including the new prorated games and innings limits.

  JLo(we) and the Band of Brandons on July 20, 2020 2:08 PM

• Either way let's just roll with it and I'll just get trained OTJ

  Nappy Dugout on July 20, 2020 1:40 PM

• Alright I suppose if I'm the last of the mohicans.... I guess the daily feature will just increase one's likelihood of running up against the maximums. Esp if we assume that ottoneu lowered the min/max innings played and pitched to a prorated amount based on the short season which they presumably calculated and contemplated would be close to met when season is done. Or do they have different mins/maxs for different leagues?

  Nappy Dugout on July 20, 2020 1:39 PM

• I support daily for 2020 given the exceptional circumstances and what feels like daily moving parts in MLB. I think this is the flexibility we need and I may be wrong, but can't we set a lineup and it stands and if we choose to adjust daily, we can, otherwise it remains as is for as long as we want. I know some can't accommodate daily as much as others, but I vote for it. I am totally fine with weekly too - I don't see this as absolutes. Just trying to adjust to a unique season

  Dying Quails on July 20, 2020 8:59 AM

• Haus and Nap I know this switches things up for you, but there's a solution. There is a lever you can flip on the lineup page: "Bench position players that are not in their MLB starting lineup. Based on our projections 5 minutes before scheduled game time". If you preset your lineups a couple days ahead of time, like in bunches of 3 based on SP faced, and combine with this lever you should field pretty solid lineups on a daily basis.

  Trash Can Drummers on July 20, 2020 8:06 AM

• I was the other person in favor of maintaining weekly lineups since that is what we signed up for. It seems quite clear I am in the minority here. I agree daily is better for all of the reasons stated, but, again, this has been advertised as a weekly league. The only reason I am in it is because it is impossible for me to set a valid lineup every day since I am in a non-US time zone. Not worth fighting about, go ahead and change it to daily if it will enhance the experience that much.

  🐡 Salmón de Campusano 🐡 on July 20, 2020 2:42 AM

• Nap, I’ll just add in here that the benefit of daily has more to do with maximizing games played at your hitter spots. It’s next to impossible to max those out in weekly due to IL stints and days off, where in daily you can sub in a player from your bench right away. Same goes for the pitching, as Mentioned there is an IP limit, so you can’t stream pitchers from waivers every day. You would also run out of budget pretty quickly that way. Dynasty also mitigates the daily streaming strategy.

  🍟 FryGuys 🍟 on July 20, 2020 2:11 AM

• Anyway, back to my earlier question. Is every other owner on board? I swore we had someone else who expressed a concern?

  Nappy Dugout on July 19, 2020 11:25 PM

• I thought I understood the rules when I signed up last season. Now I'm not so sure.

  Nappy Dugout on July 19, 2020 11:22 PM

• Nap, there'something amiss here. If you have 10 SP you have PLENTY of pitching for the year. You don't have to have a start per day, you have an innings MAXIMUM for the YEAR. Do you understand the rules? I say that not to be condescending but because I think there's a legitimate disconnect between your logic and the rules. For the year you can ONLY pitch a MAXIMUM of 560 IP and a MINIMUM of 460 IP.

  Trash Can Drummers on July 19, 2020 11:19 PM

• And yes, it is quite possible I'm overthinking this. But, based on last season's experience, there's several days in a week when I had no SP going. If one would like to make a realistic run at winning this season, it would, presumably, require some serious dump and pump. Thereby fucking up everything we drafted for in the first place for the long haul. Maybe I'm the only one seeing that and concerned with it idk

  Nappy Dugout on July 19, 2020 11:14 PM

• Not talking covid. I'm talking more SP. If we can start P daily, then if I'm holding the 10 SP I drafted, all of whom I would like to keep for the entire season, then I'm going to have to let some of them go back into the waiver pool in order to staff my team with enough SP to cover a starter every day of the season. I understand that the winner doesn't necessarily HAVE to make a lot of moves to win, but the one who does would be at significant advantage over the owners who don't start a P daily

  Nappy Dugout on July 19, 2020 11:11 PM

• I think you're over thinking this, Nap. The biggest difference between daily v. weekly lineup changes would be platooning. In weekly you essentially can't platoon where in daily you can. But in weekly as in daily you have to weigh whether adding marginal major leaguers for point depth at the expense of your future plan is worth it or not. I don't understand how drafting for one option or the other could make that drastic a difference in short or long term goals. Maybe 5 players total?
