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 donβt cut your rosters down to budget now youβll have to make cuts during the regular season that affect your cap like normal. Itβll 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!
Plebian Nation!
Bertoni Bombers!
BiteMyShinyMetalAstudillo!!
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 baseballβ¦ Go Padres! Canβt 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.

I like the new name, Piskijikers! How should I be saying it in my head though?
-
Sad showing by the groan strains this past week. Just like their manager's favorite team, they know how to flop when it matters most. Best of luck to the two teams in the finals!
-
And then there were two... Best of luck Upper Deck though not sure you will need it!!

Just FYI, if you see an error in scoring let me know ASAP and I can address the issue with Niv, the Ottoneu creator. One known issue is about players making their debut, the player card in Ottoneu is not matched up with scores coming from MLB or wherever.
-
I mean in current auctions, not waiver wire. Oof.. more coffee
-
I completely forgot I cut Bradish a while ago and was very surprised to see his name just now on the waiver wire... lol. Parenting brain at its finest I guess
-
And the run on starting pitchers has begun... Hahaha

Congrats to all the playoff teams! Iβve just been made aware that the SP rules for the playoffs are different than for the regular season. Apologies to everyone about this error on my part. I thought I changed all the settings. For the playoffs you will have 2 SP max per day with, I think, unlimited SP per week. Good luck and again, sorry about this. We can reevaluate the SP rules this off season. - commish
-
Congrats and good luck to all those who made the playoffs; let the mayhem begin!!

Fierce bidding and big payday for Nootbaar! I really just wanted him for the team naming possibilities. Guess I'll stick with Groan Strain for a while.
-
I would be willing to say that he was arguably one of the top defensive catchers in recent MLB history.

Ha, no but he was probably my first fav player, before I even knew all the teams, 09 was the first jersey number I wanted as a kid, the throws he did from his knees I thought were amazing
-
Benny, I didn't realized that retired MLB catchers played fantasy baseball...

Welcome!! Very happy to see you take over that team! Good luck!
-
Welcome to the league! Happy to have you
-
Good to join, and take over a cellar dweller! Open to trade, but want to be fair, knowing that playoffs are about to start. Will eat salary for the right players!
-
Two things for you all today. This is the LAST regular season week of play! Looks like the playoff teams are mostly set, which begins next week.
Also I am going to mark Rushmore Bottle Rockets team as abandoned today. Hopefully we'll get a new manager soon who can do a lot of good turning that team over into a competitive team. Thanks, all!
-
I have messaged Bottle Rockets and given them until the 29th to reclaim their team. If I hear nothing I'll mark their team abandoned on that date. If anyone has a friend who wants to participate in the league this is a good chance for them to jump in.
-
That's a good idea. I'll message them just to give them a heads up, and then mark it abandoned in a few days
-
Agree, couldnβt hurt to put the word out now
-
Rushmore hasnβt logged in since May. Would it make sense to mark their team as abandoned now, instead of the offseason? Maybe someone takes over before year end, maybe not but either way seems like it might be worth a shot to start the process sooner than later.
-
And, we're back!! Don't forget to set your lineups and to make your rosters legal (Punny and Plebs)
-
The All Star break has begun! No games again until Thursday. Go, AL All Stars!
-
Thanks for the heads up, Groan Strain. Definitely wasn't thinking about that.
