Dingdongs and Bangers bringing us back to the better years of the value menu
-
Even mcdonalds doesnt have 2 dollar burgers anymore haha
-
Just about to go grab lunch and now feeling like I need to go get a $2 burger
-
Gotta say I love the activity in the league recently! So many things going on!
-
FWIW - since the two new managers came aboard prior to the season, I can see that every manager is logging in and actively managing their team nearly every day. No doubt it contributes to a better league
-
I’m not going to belabor this. People aren’t always going to agree or be happy with every move that happens. As commissioner and fellow owner my ask has always been that people do not create a hostile environment for other owners that makes this unenjoyable.
Slob - you now have a track record of going off on other owners, including myself in particular. You need to find a more constructive way of handling disagreements or I agree with your possibly being on the outs.
-
Maybe we’re on outs with a no trade clause. We should up the ante in this league so we have serious ballers. For a year long league we have 50/50 audience
-
Trading strider at the trade deadline is going to raise the price. Darvish has held onto him for half the year, and so the cost on the acquiring team is less, is one way to look at it. It is how I look at it if someone wants to get Sandy or Eury off of me. As for not shopping him around, I'm not going to speak for every team, but I was in on Burnes. I thought what I had was pretty competitive to what Darvish offered, but if Ding Dongs has a preference for a certain asset, not much we can do.
-
Problem is you’re buying an injured bird only 40 games into the season and bailing out another team for minimal gain. Obviously, you could get the same deal at the end of the year knowing Strider status will be questionable going into 2025. Saving $14 to take on the risk of someone who was a top 5 for a top 5 doesn’t make much sense to me. Meanwhile you didn’t even shop for deals or post the most valuable pitcher to all teams for a bidding war. Seems like a rookie move and smells like a turd
-
I wouldn't get all bent out of shape about pitchers because sooner or later they're all going to wind up on the IL. Especially this year.
-
We can all be frustrated with trades that don't go our way. I was trying to get Burnes, but I recognized that my package wasn't as good, especially given the value placed on Strider. We all see and value players differently. Just got to pivot and see what else we might be able to do. I agree with SLD, think Darvish is doing his best to manage this competitive group of people, which is always difficult as you deal with 12+ different personalities.
-
Slob, with respect to Strider, I don't think Darvish was dropping him. He's held onto him for a month and with Darvish sitting mid-bracket, doesn't have to drop to force the win now moves. Hell, I traded for Eury while still trying to compete this year, and he was someone that could potentially be cut. Strider is still a valuable asset, and if Ding Dongs think he can keep him into next year, then he gets the best pitcher in the league plus some other prospects for what I can imagine is rental.
-
I liked that trade for both sides lol
-
That's what I do. Lol.
But seriously I have no problem with the trade.
-
I’m going to assume you are referring to me. I joined the league midway through last year and partook in my first draft this year. My big players ended up on IL and I did what I had to and pivoted to rebuilding for next year. For those of us injured and out of contention are you suggesting that we should just sit and continue to be bad for next year?

I believe our Commish - WD is doing an excellent job managing this compilation of friends, acquaintances and guys that really don’t know each other. That’s not an easy task.
But hey, when you have a team that’s averaged a 10th place finish the first 3 seasons and already have 12% of the salary cap in the penalty column, he has my backing to give those jokers the boot!
-
This league is halfway in by decent owners and more than half doubtful for showing up. I question the sanctity of the league and ask the commissioner to take a hard look in the mirror. Let’s make baseball great again or stop here…?!
-
Fuck this dog shit
-
Why wouldn’t you make him drop Strider? Instead bail out with BAL top 5 pitcher ACE … I Veto
-
We were saving up all our transactions for today, hahaha
-
i feel like donald glover walking back in and everything is on fire
-
Commissioner be like " did I set the trade deadline to May 10?"
-
If it's not obvious, I'm pushing the chips in this year so hit me up if you like any of my prospects
-

It broke my heart to deal my son Corbin Carroll, who I have raised from a wee boy, but it was time for him to spread his wings and leave the nest
-
You guys ever seen furniture store in a strip mall with the big red sign that says " Everything must go"? Think of that for VinScully is my HOMEBOY.
-
A blatant attempt by Vin Skully to avoid my trade advances when we meet for dinner and drinks tonight by jettisoning his best player mere hours before we meet.
-
Mookie for Carroll, you love to see it! Great trade buddies!
-
Glad to see Vinscully is still ALIVE!
-
Block Buster Trade
Mind Blowing. 👍👍👍
-
Lol. I actually don't have that many. If you count this one I have 5. 3 yahoo, 1 fantrax, 1 ottoneu
-
Hi Slob (Ryan) - The BIG question is how many fantasy baseball teams do you currently have in play?!! Slob(Tony) here that shares this OTTONEU league has 1x Fantrax, and 2x Yahoo. I guarantee Ryan has the most leagues here. At least I'd put $ on it ; )
-
I am with you. I have one team in yahoo that Juatin Steele, Lost Eury Perez, Bieber, Framber, and now Bradford. Another is missing Jung, Robert, Steele, Bradford, Eury Perez. Cant make this stuff up
-
I know we have some fantasy veterans here. Has any body seen or have memory of so many injuries happening to start a season?
-
Sigh, yeah, I assume I'll eventually need the cap space but in the meantime $30 will still be far below market price whenever he makes it back.
Or maybe I'll just get rid of all my pitchers to get out ahead of this injury crisis
-
Strider going to be $15 real soon!! Holla :) Sorry Commish ... Would have been a great time bomb if you ended up trading him to us after all our inquiries
-
In the market for starting pitching, hit me up

The Korea games are considered regular season games and stats will be counted in Ottoneu!
-
The two games that the Dodgers and Padres are playing in Korea are regular season games that will count in the MLB standings. One home game for each team. Why wouldn’t they count in fantasy?
-
March 28th is Opening Day! Are you stating the March 20th games are considered regular season matchups?
-
Two days until the first games! Let's goooooo
-
Looking forward to the season starting.
