Eugenio Suarez have yourself a day!

Hi all. The season begins tomorrow! The first matchup is a little odd so just to clarify any potential confusion, tomorrow (18th) and Wednesday (19th) only the Cubs and Dodgers games count. After that there are no games until March 27th. The first matchup goes from tomorrow through March 30th. Still a max of 10 starting pitcher starts for the matchup. Best of luck to everyone this year!

Are we drafting?

In advance of our draft tomorrow and with a couple new league members I wanted to recap a couple of our league rules so we are all on the same page:
6 teams make the playoffs. The division winners get seeds 1 and 2. Next best 4 records get in regardless of division.
You do not need to have a full roster but you must have at least $1 free in cap space for each roster vacancy.
There is a maximum of 10 Starting Pitcher starts per week.
Full rules here - https://ottone

All good Ozark. We historically have had the setting regarding missing a nomination turned off so you shouldn’t get locked during the draft but obviously I’ll be online the entire draft should anything happen
-
Sounds good on the draft. I have a another draft at the exact same time. I will plan to do both, but may need to ask to be unlocked if (when) I miss a turn to nominate.

We have ourselves a draft date! Tuesday the 11th (one week from today) at 830pm EST. Special shout out to Hoosier Heroes and Equipo Latino for their flexibility to make it work. If I screwed up and you can not make that date please let me know asap
-
Unfortunately I found that out the hard way last night. We had figured out a Sunday the 9th draft date and time everyone could make and when I went to set the date I saw that no more drafts could be hosted that day. Working on other options now
-
FYI, I don't know which way poll is going but right now no more drafts allowed on Sunday March 9 or Sunday March 16 apparently. Limit reached. I don't know if that can change.
-
Hi all. Thank you to everyone for filling out the draft day poll. We are in a little bit of a bind with no days being voted on unanimously. There were a couple dates that we were just 2 teams short though, so I'm reaching out to those owners directly to see if there might be any flexibility depending on the time of draft. More to come soon!
-
Just a quick update. Still waiting on a couple responses to the draft date poll. I’ve DM’d the managers directly that haven’t filled it out yet
-
We are full! Welcome to our newest member Jacob. The poll on bombers and plebian has 7 yes votes for penalty free cuts so that passes. If both of you can make your rosters legal asap that would be appreciated. Lastly let’s set a draft date. Poll below: Were spread out across all time zones so I’d imagine a start time of 6pm pst or so but we can decide that after picking a day. https://forms.gle/9FSZ1UdqBWWgPPFv5
-
I voted yes, they should be able to cut penalty free, but also agree, they should cut now and not wait.

Yea good call on the unfair advantage for waiting longer. I didn’t think of that. Here’s the poll - just copy and paste the link into your browser. Simple majority will decide https://forms.gle/EVVjPqC1EwGHfKzWA
-
I think they should be able to cut penalty free. No point in being in the league if you can't draft
-
I’m fine with penalty free cuts but I think they should happen asap and not wait to fill the other team. With ST started every day that goes by gives them an additional advantage for not cutting at the deadline.
-
Both have reached out to me requesting penalty free cuts. I’m going to put it to a league vote once we fill the last team (in talks with a couple people and should be finalized soon). Regardless of penalty or penalty free cuts all teams will have legal rosters before the draft happens
-
Appear to be two teams which are paid up but not legal and not eligible for the draft. How is that addressed?
-
Thank you, looking forward to the season.

paid! sorry
-
We have 3 teams now that didn’t renew. Groan Strain, Upper Deck, and our foreign characters friend. I’m going to wait a few days to see if they reach out before marking the teams as abandoned and posting them as available
-
Looks like four teams didn’t re-up.
-
Good morning everyone and happy keeper deadline and renewal day! Please make all cuts and renew your team (if you haven't already) for the upcoming season before midnight eastern time tonight. Thanks!
-
Happy New Year all! Just a couple reminders that the keeper deadline and league dues are both due by 12am eastern on Jan 31st.
If you have ideas for any changes to the league please reach out to me directly and I'm happy to get a poll sent out so we can vote on it. Could be anything from league name to rules to division/playoff structure etc.
Lastly, every team has been active in their team page within the last month so it appears we won't have to fill any vacancies thi

Flying Chanclas has agreed to take over as Commish! Sorry for being so out of it the last few months! New leadership, new beginnings, maybe finally a new league name?!

Love that! I’d say welcome back Wham Bam but it’s basically as if you never left
-
Since my post of October 7, you haven't kicked me out, good thing since I decided to stay in this league

Thanks for stepping up, Chanclas!!

Thanks for taking that on Flying

Hey all. I told Groan Strain that I would take over commish duties. We’re working on making the change official. Just wanted to send a quick reminder about arbitration ending November 14th. Make sure to allocate all your dollars!
-
First, I want to congratulate Upper Deck on winning the league!
Second, I have taken a new job last year that has been keeping me busier than ever (in addition to having two new feet running around our home). Given that, I am not sure I can be commissioner again next year. Is there anyone who would like to take over this role? Please DM me if so, I am happy to answer any questions.
If someone takes over, I will still manage my team!
Please consider this and

Hi Commish and owners, congrats to the winners, wanted to say it's been a pleasure playing with all of you this season. Got way too many leagues and cannot maintain the rythm (time consuming and $$$). So I won't be renewing many of my leagues like this one, got some talent to attract new owner for next year so you should be able to quickly fill vacancy. have a good arb and a great future season! Thanks Commish for great work
-
I did the same thing and even looked it up to make sure. Under League - League Settings - Playoffs it says “GS Cap: 10.” Which I took to mean each matchup, not each week. It’s the system that’s out of order!
-
Random comment but I totally thought that we had the 10 SP starts for two weeks in the finals (similar to the extended week around the AS break). I definitely wish I hadn't budgeted my starts like I did, but I'm also glad it reset for the week.

Nothing like putting up over 800 points and still losing to effectively be eliminated from playoff contention. Hell of a week Upper Deck! I am officially waving the white flag. Open to trade discussions for anyone looking to strengthen their roster in this last week of the regular season

some might say my season is over. some might say we have no shot of toppling the top. to that, I loudly groan! It starts this week with a resounding VICTORY over BENDER and his SHINY ASTUDILLO!
-
Anyone nedding a bat - Schwarber is available
-
yes but I'm not sure I have a latino player who fits the trade bill. Have you heard of um... Larsuel Nootbario?
-
I have two 3b at 6+ per game and a dh at 8 per game; three dudes for two spots. Anybody want to take one off my hands for something within the realm of reason?
-
Bieber’s Chancla career only lasted 2 starts but what electric starts they were
-
too many injuries!
-
I totally missed that the season technically started?? Why is MLB doing it this way. Very weird to have two teams out of spring training while everyone else remains.
-
good draft everyone! thanks for having fun, making small talk, and also making the scheduling very easy!

Thanks for handling all this and looking forward to doing this draft early so we can get back to trading etc.
-
okay so the growing consensus is for starting Sunday, Feb 18 (THIS SUNDAY) at 9 PM EST
I will change the time on this webpage now to reflect that. If anyone has serious concerns or issues with this please let me know asap

Ok here is the final doodle poll to figure out a time. I am guessing most people have evenings more free than during the day so I focused on the evening. I chose 1 hour blocks, so please choose the one that would be a good starting time. If you are flexible it will help!

Ok thanks you two. So it’s looking like the consensus best days are this coming Saturday or Sunday. Given the short time until then please tell me in the next day if you want to draft and those days don’t work for you.
I’ll then make a doodle poll to find the best time, keeping in mind we have people in every US time zone
