Just saw that there might have been a stat correction for week 2? I remember watching mine and Astudillo’s matchup end that week since it was tight and he was up by a few points when the week was done. However now it looks like I finished ahead but didn’t get credit for a win. Can you look into this commish?
-
I thought you almost made up the 100 point gap in one day Equipo! I was sweating!
-
Damn! So close
-
Oh man, Vladdy, is this really going to come down to who Showalter gives the ball to?
-
BASEBAAAAAAAAAALLLLLL
-
I was just looking that up too. On the "details" of the matchups page, it has week 1 going to April 9th.
-
Does anyone know if this first week is 10 days or is a short week? Trying to plan out my pitchers and can't recall. Thanks

Let’s pack it up and go home, boys. We’ve reached peak baseball
-
What an epic WBC finale. MLB needs to look at the success of the WBC and ask two questions. How can they make it better next time, and also what can MLB do to make the regular season and playoffs more like that.
-
Start without me, I will join when I can. I'm only in on $2-$3 guys anyway.
-
It is draft day!!! 9:30 PM eastern time!
-
I’ve been so focused on the shift ban that I haven’t really spent much time at all thinking about the increase in steals. Looks like I have some more studying to do before Sunday!
-
Based on spring training I think stolen bases will increase by 25 percent, with a lot more steals of third. Right now players still figuring out how to take advantage of limited pickoffs but when they do, could be nuts
-
Draft day is this Sunday! Upper Deck is skeptical about the surge in SB! I think it could happen. What do others think?? How will it affect your drafting?? We'll see!
-
3 square inches bigger (15 to 18). While it's going to have a positive impact on SBs, I don't think it's going to be as big of a jump as many people think. If anything, the biggest impact is going to be with 1B's range with crappy throws, which will reduce errors in the long run.

Baseball question of the day. How big are the new bases compared to the old bases? You can in square inches, in length of the sides, or in total volume for extra credit I guess.
-
LOL, my almost 3 yr old is also obsessed with chapstick actually. Though I'm not a chapstick person so it's all my wife's supply that the toddler uses.
The intended answer was: "your name!"
Soto, even after being told the answer, was a confused man.

Lol, having a toddler that is obsessed with chapstick, that is a valid answer. I think I know the real answer, but I'll wait for the grand reveal
-
lol that made me laugh, almost as much as Soto's absolute bafflement. The dude was just like "I don't even understand the question. What?"
I'll give folks another day or so to think about it.

As a padres fan I can not answer since I watched the clip, but I will say that more than 1 player answered “chapstick” which has been on my mind ever since

Riddle of the day that most of the SD Padres had a hard time with:
What belongs to you, but is mainly used by others?

Thank you to everyone who has done the doodle poll that I said would never happen. It did happen, and most of you have completed it!
The consensus time so far is Sunday March 12th starting at 9:30 PM EST. If this time does not work for anyone message me now!

Sundays are looking to be better than Saturdays in general, thank you to everyone who's responded so far. If none of these weekend times work we can next turn to looking at times during the week. It might mean a bleary eyed workday after the draft is done, but maybe it'd be easier to schedule.
However, let's hope we can get it done now! Thanks all.
-
Please try to think flexibly!

Ok. I am sorry to say I think the fairest option will be to make another LIMITED doodle poll to find the best time.
Would early morning on the weekend work better, by chance? I'll add the option to the poll also.

Also you can message me directly instead of posting here, that's fine.

Okay, the next best option would be, I think, Sat Feb 25 at 9:30 PM. Is that totally impossible for anyone?

Sorry, march 11 is impossible for me, got tickets for a afternoon dance show 150 miles from my home. Maybe I could do it by phone from hotel if everybody else is on board with that date
-
3/11 at 9:30 EST works for me, thanks
-
Now, before we draft, does anyone have any strong opinions they'd like to voice about potential rule changes?
-
Alright, looking at the dates I see a few options that are the least bad for everyone. Here they are in order (all times are eastern)
Sat Feb 11 at 9:30 (PM)
Sat Feb 25 at 9:30
Sat Mar 11 at 9:30
Sun Mar 12 at 9:30
Sat Mar 18 at 9:30
Sun Mar 19 at 9:30
In the interest of not doing another doodle poll (who likes those things? no one), and since all times were equally voted for, I will choose one.
Sat Mar 11 at 9:30 PM EST
-
Thanks to everyone who has completed the poll so far! Sorry if you received an email from doodle about the "booked event" or something. I hit a wrong button.
So far there's no time that works best for everyone. I am going to reach out to individual owners to see what times work better in general for them.
Again here's a link for the poll for those who still need to fill it out. Thanks!

Alright, thank you to everyone for making your cuts and getting your teams into shape for the new season! Let's start thinking about when we want to do the draft. I have made a huge scheduling poll so we can find a time that works best for everyone. It'll be impossible to find a perfect time, so let's just try to find the least worst time. Here is the poll: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/epZLNWyb

Keeper deadline is in two days everyone!! If you don’t cut your rosters down to budget now you’ll have to make cuts during the regular season that affect your cap like normal. It’ll suck. Make your cuts today!
-
The deadline to renew your league is by Jan 31! 10 days away!! Please pay your dues so we can have another great year of fantasy baseball in 2023!
-
Just a heads up to everyone, the manager of Inflating Expectations couldn't renew for next year. So if anyone here has a friend who wants to join this league there's an opening! I'll keep first priority open for friends and family and then in a week I will openly advertise the opening on ottoneu message boards.
-
Let's get this party started...

Thanks to all the teams that got arbitration done! Everything looks set for the coming off-season hustle. Can't wait to see who hits free agency.

Three days until the end of arbitration!

Get all your allocations done before then, please.

Just 5 more days until arbitration closes, and still three managers need to allocate their dollars! I am going to start naming names here soon... please get yours allocations in!
-
10 days until the end of arbitration!
-
The arbitration period ends on Nov. 14, if you have not yet made your allocations please get them in soon!

Arbitration is open! You have until Nov 14th to inflate the prices on select players who had great years and who deserve pay raises.
-
t-minus 5 days until arbitration! get your pointers warmed up... I won't name names so as to prevent bias and targeting, but there is a certain mustachioed pitcher down south who will surely gets lots of dollars added to his value! ;-)
-
Appreciate it. As I said before, this win involved more luck than skill. There's quite a few teams that look like they're ready to break out next season and I am looking forward to it. Sad to see the fantasy season coming to an end but the best thing about Ottoneu is it is never really over. Go Braves! And Go Padres - hope y'all win this weekend but at the very least, make the Wild Card go 3 games with extra innings every night. The Mets season can't come to an end soon enough.

Congrats upper deck! Well deserved. And as for real baseball… Go Padres! Can’t wait to see how they break my heart this year
-
Congrats UD!
-
Well I guess that's it for the season. Congrats to Upper Deck who was the clear favorite all season and showed why in these postseason games. Soon we will enter arbitration and then the off season starts in earnest! Should be fun!! Also good luck to anyone who has a real life MLB team alive in the postseason. The Twins took a dive after the All Star break and their season is done. Oh well, it was a fun fantasy and real baseball season!
-
Thanks, Espino! It's definitely a grind but having a team gel like mine did this year also takes a ton of luck. I really benefited from being a Braves fan and snagging Wright, Strider, and Harris II before they really broke out. If you've made it to the finals 2 years in a row, then you're primed to break through. Hate to see the fantasy season winding down but looking forward to making moves during the off-season and prepping for next year.

It was over before it ever really began; Upper Deck, the numbers don't lie, you were best all season and clearly best at the end - CONGRATULATIONS!! Back to back failures in the finals stings, but I will see y'all next season.
