Feel free to delete that statement, Commish.

That's just a statement. Not an open invitation to discuss politics here. ;-) PLAY BALL.

Calm down Mr. My-Teams-Lose-Because-I'm-A-Fan. LOL. It's funny. That's all. And I like his politics. ESPECIALLY when up against that scumbag lying-liar, Adam Schiffty-Schifft. FEAR THE HAIR.

Brewery Boys >>> Doctored Balls. Under new management. Update your records accordingly.

How in THE BLUE HELL does a Cubs fan have ANYTHING to do with Steve Garvey? I thought I knew you…

His head of hair is legendary. And, Eric, that's brilliant. Using that in ALL the marketing material this year... ;-)

Is this in reference to his arm hair? Chest hair?

LOL. You mean President-to-be Garvey. Gonna stick with his baseball past... ;-)

Might need to change that to Senator Garvey’s hair

Changing up the team name this year. 19 wins in the regular season and 1st out in the playoffs will do that to one's psyche... Circle Change is now Steve Garvey's Hair. :-)

Hello all! Picked up this team on the unclaimed page, first time Ottoneu league, not hoping for too much, just hoping to spoil someone’s week everyone once in a while. ;p

Welcome, Mr. Awesome. We'll see if that name holds up over the course of the year. ;-)

Happy to be here! This is my second Ottoneu league, having done one back in '22. New team name, and roster cuts, coming soon.

Ok. My cubicle-mate John has taken J to the Rod's team. He's a total jerk so he'll fit right in. :)

Quick update - I heard back from J to the Rod and he confirmed he wanted to leave the league. I haven't heard back from Slide Piece, so I'll try him again but I'm guessing that means we'll have 3 open spots. If you know anyone that might be interested, they can use the Claim Teams link The Stench just posted to grab one of the teams. I'll start looking on the message boards for replacements, too.
-
I was never informed that I was up for renewal. I would have expected an email with a link a few weeks before getting cut off. Even when Todd told me I had lapsed, I really struggled to find the link to sign back up. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/claimteams

I was able to get their emails from the Ottoneu admin, so I sent them a note to see if they just missed their renewals. I'll let you know what I hear from them.
-
What happened? Our league champ makes off-season trades and cuts but didn't renew? And slide piece made cuts an hour before the deadline but didn't renew?

I changed the draft date to March 18. Let me know if that's an issue for anyone. Also, a reminder that January 31 is the deadline for cutting players penalty-free. Please be sure to trim your rosters to the required size and salary cap limits before then.
-
Oh good catch, thanks for that reminder. We can move the draft up to the 18th or so instead, if everyone would like those games included.
-
Wanted to note the season actually starts march 20 or 21 with two games overseas between dodgers and padres

We can definitely change the draft date. The season starts March 28 this year, which is a Thursday. How does the 25th (Monday) or 26th (Tuesday) look? Also, Brewery Boys had to drop out of the league, so we have an opening if anyone knows someone who would be interested.
-
I was just going off the banner announcement on the main page haha :)
-
Sounds like a great trip. I for one did not realize a date had already been determined. This far out, I certainly hope there is no problem having it changed.

So…any chance we can alter the draft date? Todd and I are both going to be in Arizona because we surprised our Mom with a trip to Cubs Spring Training for her 80th birthday. Travel starts on 20th and we get back the 24th.
-
Now that arbitration is done, you can cut players without any penalties from now until the end of January. You can also make trades again. You just have to make sure your roster is under the salary limit with enough space to cover open spots on your rosters. Let me know if you have any questions.
-
Just a reminder that today is the last day for Arbitration. If you haven't done so already, please make your allocations by the end of the day. Then, we can go over the next steps once all changes have been processed.
-
Who let this guy in the league? And what stinks...?
-
I tried to dump all my arbitration money on Circle Change but the system wouldn't let me. Can we fix that for next year? :D

I just sent an email to everyone with instructions for Arbitration. Let me know if you have any questions as we had a few people that did not allocate all of their $25 last year. Thanks!

Congrats J to the Rod on the title!

Congrats to Leury's Legends (J-Rod) on the huge week & taking another title! Next up - the offseason and stopping the 3-peat! I don't see any set dates yet but based on last year, arbitration will be around 10/15 until 11/14. During that time, you can't cut or trade players. After that, you can cut & trade until the Keeper Deadline, which was around 1/31. Then, your roster is set until the draft. I'll send out more updates & info once we reach each stage & see who
-
What are the important off-season dates? Like last day to cut guys before the draft, when cap penalties go away, etc… Thanks fellas.
-
Well boys another season another championship. I have no idea where that 950 points came from that was definitely the most I've scored in a week all year circle. I'll be running it back next year, have to go for the Jordan 3 peat lol.
-
One suggestion I have for next year is that we take a poll (which I think we always do) about who is actually going to pay attention and make an effort. Most managers do, from what I can tell, but I don't think everyone is fully invested. It's more fun that way and more challenging. FWIW.
-
Holy Crap, Jerry. A 950-burger during the Championship week? Is that the highest point total of the year? I think it is. Makes me think you were sandbagging all year. ;-) 17 HRs sure help. Congrats. Going to try and run it back next year...
-
950 points in the championship game is a statement. Congrats J!

Hey everyone! I'll definitely post more once the offseason begins in October and what you'll need to do. We can also look at some changes next year, like changing the season or playoff length. In terms of injuries, I don't know of anywhere that tells you how many you had but if you check the Standings page, you can see how many games you played at each position this year. Good luck in the finals this week! Let me know if you have any questions before the end of the MLB season.
-
I'll go out on a limb and say that I do NOT have the most. Just the worst timing... the ABSOLUTE worst. LOL
-
Is there a way to see season-long injury data by team? It would be interesting to see who had the most missed-player-days.

At the risk of sounding whiny (let's be honest, I am whining LOL), I now have lost my 2nd most saves and my 3B to the IL. So in the final weeks of the season, including playoffs, I've lost for multiple days, if not the season (Pitchers) Darvish, Ohtani, and Alzolay; (hitters) Ohtani, Betts, Yelich, Candelario, and Gallo (but I hardly every played Gallo). 19-2 regular season to probably finishing 4th. Super unbelievably frustrating.
-
Thanks, GTIHTF (JUST learned your name is Jason, LOL). I'm Todd. I surely did not make the right pitching decisions on a couple of starts. But the numbers don't lie... it was your hitting (or my lack thereof) that won it for you.
-
Riot fest is this weekend, you might have a chance if I'm too hungover to set my lineups Saturday and Sunday 😆
-
Great semi-final, Circle Change (sorry I don't know your name)! I got very lucky - pretty much everything went right on Fri and Sun, didn't think I had any chance at all when I was down by 200pts on Wed! Now we'll see if I can maintain the good fortune for one more week. Best wishes for next season. Jason

Also, Eric, congrats on making the playoffs your first year. Impressive.

Thanks, Eric. Commish will let us know about deadlines for dropping players, etc. But it won't be for a while. I actually think we should go back to 2 weeks for playoffs if that's how it was. I'm old. I don't remember. Regular season series are 3-4 games and with most playoff series being 7, I think that'd be more "real." Maybe take 1 week off the regular season to make it a round 20 weeks. I think I may have voted to make them one week. LOL. They can hear us. They just ignore us. LOL.
