Welp it’s only fitting that subpar pitching would ensure I didn’t somehow sneak into the playoffs. Best of luck to everyone and look forward to another competitive season!
-
Also anyone using gmail is not getting emails…
-
Hmmmm… I didn’t “let” you have them, can’t speak for the rest of the league though!
-
Let's just say I am glad I didn't start Hunter Greene in the Ottoneu league today. Yeeeeikes!
-
Looking at the standings and I’m very pleased with how competitive the league is in just year 3! Good luck to all those fighting for a playoff spot.
Remember the trade deadline is approaching quickly. I’m looking to add a SP and RP, I’ve reached out to a few of you already. And thanks everyone for letting me have Crews and Skenes, all of a sudden the Mints are a bit prospect heavy.

I think it’s too little too late. Harper and Judge being out half the season was a killer. And trea turner just remembered how to play baseball. Then my pitching staff loved serving up multi HR games to the A’s. First world problems :D
-
Rumors of your demise in this League have been greatly exaggerated...nice to see you Champ

My pitchers heard my call about being fired into the sun.
-
I really did think 2016Dream was untouchable!

JSM is our defending League Champion

Well done Green Monsters! I was due a loss and your win this week well deserved. No sympathy here for Mullett!!

Well folks, just won my championship in this league as far as I am concerned. 2016Dream hadn't lost since April, so I needed a big week this week to beat them and did it. As Mullet's pitchers blast off towards the sun, they'll see the celebratory fireworks I'll be sending up in the sky.
-
Lmao. My entire pitching staff should be fired into the sun
-
So, ah, I take it all back about Strider. I'm glad he's reading this message board because he seems to have righted the ship. I knew he couldn't live with negative points, I knew it!
-
Hopefully the Braves clue into that at this point.
-
he only has two pitches...he's gonna make a fine RP until he gets another

Spencer Strider is one of the best pitchers in the league, right? Universally accepted truth?Methinks he got hyped up a bit too much... blagh.
-
Week in and week out my pitchers make the last place team divisional teams look like all stars. Smmfdh.
-
Someone's got money to spend... :)
-
Welp, yet another bad week to face the Mints! Not that my team was going to do much against anyone anyway.
-
Sicksinker did what I need to do to most of my pitching Staff
-
If I had gone up against Junior Mints for all seven weeks this season I'd have gone 5-2 (including the one loss we faced off against each other already). Please, let there be random H2H justice this week for the Monsters!
-
Always remember no matter how bad you are at your job. You’re not the guy who signed Jameson Taillon to a 4 year $68 million contract. Absolutely horrendous pickup for the cubs.
-
Nice. I thought Perez's line was pretty bad against Oakland but nooooo, the new Monster couldn't handle the 'last place' Cardinals apparently. I know St. Louis is probably coming alive, so it's not entirely surprising, but let me know if there's a Reverse Trade button ... ;)
-
That Rooker guy has been surprisingly impressive. Not sure if anyone else is going to give up 3 homers against them, though.
-
“ Perez is tentatively scheduled for a favorable road start in Oakland during next weekend's four-game ”
Gives up 3 HRs to the worst team in baseball. Lmao. Lmfao.
-
Huh, you're right! I didn't think to look back as to who originally owned the player a month ago. Thanks for solving the mystery.
-
TLDR - it’s a strategy to trim off cap penalty
If it’s been more than 30 days since you cut a free agent and they have a cap penalty more than $1, you can start an auction and then cut them again to reduce the cap penalty.
-
Am I missing out on an Ottoneu strategy? We've had a couple of auctions bid on and then the player is immediately dropped. I know the cap hit isn't huge, but I'm curious as to what the motivation is. Maybe people are having players come off the IL earlier than anticipated, thus causing a roster crunch...
-
The weather hosed both of us but think you def got it worse as strider has been unstoppable. Glad I don’t see this matchup again for a while 😅
-
Ah well, that ended up much closer than I thought it was going to be a few days ago. Could have used you, Strider!
-
To add, we saw this same level of effort from their minor league team too: https://www.instagram.com/reel/Cro6s21PFEO/?igshid=YmMyMTA2M2Y=

The Charlotte knights and the two rehab players did not have a good night. We stuck around til the end bc of fireworks. Got to play catch on the field pre game. The final score was 20-1 (they played the orioles affiliate)
-
I need him back, so hope he looks good!
-
Sweet! Enjoy!!!

Double domination - I’ll get to see Tim Anderson play live at his rehab assignment tonight in Charlotte.
-
I take inspiration from Georgia tech…always snatch defeat from the jaws of victory :D
-
I get this feeling that it may not end up mattering in the end. My pitchers usually like to throw negative games I am finding.
-
Stupid rain delay today cost me a good start on my ATL pitcher.
-
I know I'm new here but admittedly I do like to look at fantasy baseball history in leagues that I am a part of. Not sure if everyone is aware, but last year's season record champ, Mantequilla, has already reached the same amount of losses this year as they had in total last year (3). Either this is going to start a 17 week win streak, or 2023 is going to go a bit differently.
-
Needed to change things up!
-
Quite the busy day for the Prof!
-
Well, it was a good week and a half for the new guy. Probably the best one will ever see out of Matt Chapman, anyway.
-
Thanks for confirming Junior.
-
I believe you guys are correct. First matchup of the season is longer but still capped at 10 starts.

That's the impression that I get, though I think it's only a week and a half up until next weekend, right?
-
During a match up, which last a week, each team is limited to 10 starts for pitching. Our first match up is over a period of 2 weeks. Am I correct in thinking that each team is still limited to the 10 starts?
-
there's an old saying that suggests "no one remembers who finished second"...thanks for keeping my meltdown alive

Still can’t believe everything came together at the end of the season after Mantequilla dominated week in and week out.

...at least this time it's a home game
