finally off the schneid, trying to slowly claw back. great game ohtani!
-
This site fucks with your head, it can’t seem to get the totals straight lol Anyhow, Congrats to Perpetual Rebuild what a great back and forth week !!!
-
Psyched we could close the gap to 178... Team showed a lot of heart this week
-
I think you meant third highest scorer *cough*
-
We could end up second high scorer in the league and still lose by 300 this week. Our team also gained about 10 spots in OPL this week to #20 overall. Beat down of epic proportions
-
I’m not gonna lie. Damn, it feels good to be a gangster. But also next week the wheels could come off so I don’t wanna tempt karma with too much celebrating.

I feel like I should report the beating Arthurian Legends is handing out to the authorities.
-
Its all good. Sometimes that's what happens in a H2H league. This past week has been a microcosm of my season thus far. But heck of a battle and congrats on the W
-
Man that was a helluva week JJ...I was ahead for the first part of the week, then you pulled away by 100 Friday night, then Saturday night I go 100 up on you with a big 234pointer. Sunday was bananas right to the end; Lux with the big hit top of 9 for you to give you the lead, and I get a Contreras walk in the 9th to seal the win! I was glad they didn't pitch Kimbrel
I feel for ya bud, but happy to take the W lol!
Til the next match...
-
Guess I drew the short straw this year.,,
-
Damn if I was Jon Jay right now I’d be tearing my hair out. That’s some serious bad luck to start the year man
-
I don’t know about y’all but I have a co manager and Ottonue is always something I am spending a lot of time on everyday. Such a blast.
-
Try balancing OPL at the same time as trying to have best roster here. That’s been a crazy new adjustment.
-
I love this banter. I know it doesn't seem Like it right now, but I really love this league. Ya, I'm confused about how we treat Milb players, but it's all good.
-
And by the way I have 500 more points than you yet am on the verge of going 0-3. Would much rather be in your shoes!
-
When Josh Jung is raking .300 and 25 homers a year you’ll be very happy to have him for $10-$15 bucks. There is a team in another ottoneu league with vlad jr at $21 and acuna jr at $23. The only way that happens is if you get them while they’re minor leaguers and hang on to them at the detriment of that current team. Just make the right MiLB bets.
-
*is NOT as much a dynasty league
-
There are more than one way to skin a cat but ottonue is as much a dynasty league as it is a keeper league. There is definitely a cost to going all in with prospect strategy. But at same time it’s one of the best formats for a quick rebuild.
-
I think it’s fine to express frustration with realizing your strategy for the year isn’t going how you drew it up (check my 5x5 team for underperforming and frustrating!). But yeah the rules are just kind of in place, and you seem to have realized that you need to pivot to a new plan. I think that’s a good thing for the league overall. Everyone should be reassessing how things are going and how they can make changes (which encourages more fun trades!). It’s a marathon. Let’s make it a fun one!
-
It’s how Ottoneu works. You keep saying “why do we” like the league got together and made up these rules when we started. It’s the baseline rules for Ottoneu.
-
Just quickly to respond. Yes, I read the rules guys. This isn't a surprise to me,.. I get the intent of the rule - it is showing its true colors as it pertains to teams like mine who intend to grow from bottom up...... As for my record, you can look at my overall points and realize I'm insanely lucky to be 2-0... Look, people should be able to bring up concerns. I think my point in valid in my very unique situation. It doesn't mean it must be changed, but why do we have Milb slots at all? Cheers
-
i believe Arthurian has said it a few times but reading the rules is MANDATORY for ottoneu. It takes 10 minutes. That being said, just hoarding prospects is a risky strategy even without ottoneu's arb system. But just looking over your roster your team looks damn good and theres a reason your 2-0. Just alter your strategy. You'll be fine
-
Time to get active and make some changes then! You must have had a plan when you dropped all that money on SP's at the draft?
-
It's just like everything else in life, things get more expensive with time. :) If you get a stud at 20 years old for $2, by the time he's 24 and hitting bombs in the show he will for sure be $6 and possibly more if other teams in the league put money on him, but he can still be a steal at $11. Most prospects only go up the $1 increase year over year. I personally like this and it keeps the league more competitive long term. Oh and by the way, you are 2-0! I hope to see you stick around.
-
I realized my strategy to hoard minor leaguers to build for the future is foolish. With the yearly increase in salary and the ablilty for other teams to jack up salaries on them... It's dumb to do what I am trying to do. Why do we have the yearly increase on guys who are designated MilB? It totally screws teams like mine. I have to think about the future of my tenure based on this reality. By the time my guys are ready to compete I'll have to drop many of them... It's just dumb.

A better rebuild than the Pirates ever manage!

I've doubled the number of wins I had all season last year!

This just in…JD (old man) Martinez has requested a fantasy trade. States that he does not want to be part of a rebuild. Management wouldn’t be expecting much back for the aging slugger but they are willing to talk! JD will mash in June
-
Have faith that Gallo can turn it around and extra cap space? Send me a trade for a cheapies reliever and he can be yours. RPs under 6 points per IP need not apply
-
Well done swampy
-
Thanks, been a fun hot start that will be hard to keep up.
-
Shout out to The Swamp for holding 7th place in the OPL League...Congrats on being in the top 10 my fellow poolie!
-
I need to create some cap room. Anyone want to trade a lower tier prospect or something for Strasburg?

I need a co owner just to tell me when to play relievers
-
The long matchup made starters tricky
-
I buggered up my starts in week one....rookie mistake
-
This team is on fire right now and it’s so hard knowing it will never have a better week. Screenshot Ted our OPL standings.
-
The urge to overreact in mid April is strong.
-
Ya think, getting murdered here
-
Geez swamp, save some points for next week
-
Wow... Shots fired from Arthurian Legends before the first pitch of the season is thrown.
-
Happy Opening Day! Make sure your lineups are set for today (and tomorrow, etc.). Remember Week 1 matchup runs April 7-17. You still only get 9 Games Started for SP even though it's a long matchup. Remember that it's daily lineup changes, SP must start in real life to get points, RP must come in relief to get points, and...I think that sums up most of the tips I have for you! Message me (or post here) with any questions or comments. Good luck to everyone! (except maybe Lightsaber Metrics :D )
-
Commish Note: I re-added Betts' $1 players because of a misunderstanding with cap penalties. Rookie mistake and he messaged quickly asking for clarification. If anyone has questions about rules/cap/penalties/cuts, let me know! I recommend reviewing the rules page for everyone because ottoenu does have some quirks other sites don't have. But once you get the hang of it, I suspect you'll fall in love with this format.
-
Let’s hope haha...now let’s get this season on the go!!!!!!!
-
Corbin is the next Robbie ray
-
That’s right Corbin for 1$ laugh it up everyone Scouts tell me he will only be half as shitty
-
For the reasons you mentioned it is…not ideal. I have faith in their health! I think. Lol.
-
Legends, how bad are you sweating DeGroms shoulder right now? You can overcome that, but with the core of your offense being Judge/Perez/Stanton, one more injury could cost you a repeat.
-
Holy crap I panicked when I pulled up my roster and saw suspended next to Tim Anderson…
