• T-minus 80 minutes left to vote players off the island that are the rosters in the league.

  The Freeport Fireballers on November 14, 2024 10:41 PM

• Thank Post Hype. I'm looking forward to the post season, including the do or die ATL v NYM wild card qualifier today. I am looking forward to another title defense next year.

• Congtats, Ludicrous!!!

  Post Hype Sleepers on September 30, 2024 8:20 AM

• Hey! I’ve now had this happen a couple of times. Is anyone noticing their rosters being changed? Almost my entire roster for the 10th is wiped clean. I know I didn’t do this. I’m not making an accusation, I’ve noticed this in two other leagues as well, and was wondering if it’s a glitch.

  Seal Beach Kooks - on September 9, 2024 7:32 PM

• Thanks for all the info about Acuna! He should be on Quadraphonic's roster now at $39. Have a good one!

  The Freeport Fireballers on June 12, 2024 9:03 AM

• $39

  Quadraphonic Blaupunkt on June 12, 2024 5:40 AM

• Re: the trade, these are tough ones to veto for me. Screams playing for next year and using the loan to help make it work, esp cuz the loan disappears next season. A deal in another Otto league I'm in had Jordan Lawlar ($1) dealt for Trea Turner ($57) + Framber Valdez ($23) plus an $80 loan! For me, the loans just make it possible to deal win-now pieces for prospects. Ludicrous doesn't have an issue with the pieces (Jung, Westburg, and Waldrep) and neither do I so that's why I wouldn't veto.

  The Freeport Fireballers on June 11, 2024 9:26 PM

• Hi all. Catching up to the trade chatter and the Acuna not being added. Sorry for the delay. Was swallowed up with work for May and notifications turned off. Let's start with Acuna. Happy to add him manually. Happy to read Sleepers at least saw Acuna on the completed auctions page so everyone should agree he goes to Quadraphonic. Any chance anyone knows what he won for?

  The Freeport Fireballers on June 11, 2024 9:10 PM

• Commish what is going on? Can you add Acuna to my team?

  Quadraphonic Blaupunkt on June 11, 2024 6:12 AM

• That is very odd. You can see it in the "Completed Auctions" page but it also says $0 next to his name. I'm not sure what's going on.

  Post Hype Sleepers on June 10, 2024 3:36 PM

• Commish ?????

  Quadraphonic Blaupunkt on June 10, 2024 2:43 PM

• why wasn't Acuna added to my team this morning? I won the auction.

  Quadraphonic Blaupunkt on June 10, 2024 10:20 AM

• kinda screams collusion should kick these clowns out the league...Jk jk I think the ultimate thing that makes this "fair" is that the loan disappears for next season and miller can be kept at a great price if not voted off. its def hard to actually gauge value for trades like this though, really just dependent on the free market system here establishing a price.

  Turner's Fairly Odd Parents on May 28, 2024 11:09 PM

• It’s pretty common Otto practice to have loans that equal out the total dollars. I can tell you right now I’m not keeping Webb for $37 next year. Gave up 3 future pieces for a $10 miller next season.

  Post Hype Sleepers on May 28, 2024 10:27 PM

• I understand that it had no cap hit to either side, that is what has me puzzeled. It means Logan Webb and Miller were effectively only valued at $13 combined in this transaction. I think everyone in this league can agree Mason Miller and Logan Webb are worth much more than that.

  Ludicrous Speed on May 28, 2024 3:57 PM

• Happy MDW! The loan made the trade have zero cap hit to either side.

  Post Hype Sleepers on May 28, 2024 3:45 PM

• I hope everyone had a fun and safe Memorial Day weekend. I am sure a lot of you all were out enjoying the long weekend and may or may not have checked in on the trade activity. The Post Hype and Roger Dorn trade has me puzzeled. While I see no issue with the players involved I cannot understand the $30 loan that went out to Post Hype in the deal. The return was Mason Miller ($8) and Logan Webb ($35) + $30 loan making it a $13 cap hit.

  Ludicrous Speed on May 28, 2024 3:40 PM

• Man, what a sad 24 hours - The Biebs, Spencer 'The 'Stache Strider, and Eury Perez!!! Throw in Luis Robert's hip and Eloy's... well just about anything, it it's a pretty frustrating period of ball. All those guys could take a page from Josh Jung's speech.

  The Freeport Fireballers on April 6, 2024 6:04 PM

• Baseball is really back with the greatest day of the year! Happy Opening Day!

  The Freeport Fireballers on March 28, 2024 1:09 PM

• One thought, one question - the thought: man, I hope Shohei really didn't know about the gambling and I certainly hope he isn't the gambler! The Question: anyone want Matt McLain for a discounted price? I'm looking for pitching...

  The Freeport Fireballers on March 21, 2024 1:27 PM

• Howdy y'all! A great draft filled with lots of big spending! Will there be any trades between now and the 28th? Will the Dodgers ever lose back-to-back games this season? Will the Bills make it back to the Super Bowl in the Josh Allen era?

  The Freeport Fireballers on March 3, 2024 8:02 PM

• Quick reminder to all that draft is set for a little under 5 minutes from now :-)

  The Freeport Fireballers on March 3, 2024 11:56 AM

• Draft day!

  Post Hype Sleepers on March 3, 2024 7:40 AM

• Sorry - that should read 12PM not 11:30AM, my bad.

  The Freeport Fireballers on March 2, 2024 3:01 PM

• Just 1 More sleep until the Seal Beach Kooks have a full roster again! Quick reminder that the Auction draft is 11:30AM EST tomorrow -- Sunday March 3rd. If you haven't already, I recommend just going and checking over your draft room works via your browser :-)

  The Freeport Fireballers on March 2, 2024 2:57 PM

• Hi everyone! I have only heard back from one manager (other than Sleepers) who said making it earlier would be better for him too so I've adjusted the draft start time to 12PM, still on Sunday March 3rd. Please let me know if this poses a problem otherwise we'll see ya in the draft room! Also, a quick reminder about checking your browser cuz you may need to use Firefox to access the Draft Room properly. First ST game today!!!

  The Freeport Fireballers on February 22, 2024 1:32 PM

• That would definitely help me! Sorry I’m just now seeing this draft time

  Post Hype Sleepers on February 21, 2024 12:21 PM

• Hey ya Sleepers - would moving it up to 12 or even 12:30 be a bit helpful? I was trying to avoid the West Coast peeps having to draft at 9am but would y'all be game to start at 12 or 12:30?

  The Freeport Fireballers on February 21, 2024 10:44 AM

• Have my daughters 5th bday at 330 march 3rd. Hope I can make it work.

  Post Hype Sleepers on February 21, 2024 8:49 AM

• Howdy everyone! On another board someone mentioned that users with Chrome may have issues with the Auction room. I tried it and sure enough it was having trouble connecting. I downloaded Firefox and retried and everything in the Auction room works like a charm! I promise this isn't an ad for Firefox but just a head's up to go in and make sure you your browser isn't a hinderance for the auction :-)

  The Freeport Fireballers on February 19, 2024 12:04 PM

• Thanks for all your input everyone! We now have a date and time for the draft! Please book Sunday March 3rd starting at 1PM EST in your calendars! Now the million dollar question for work in progress: does your father-in-law have opinions on baseball and long-term projections? Can that scotch help with your draft strategy?

  The Freeport Fireballers on February 15, 2024 6:00 PM

• Either date, or time frame for Sunday works.

  Seal Beach Kooks - on February 14, 2024 8:39 PM

• Preference for the March 3 window; having dinner with my in-laws on the 1st and my father-in-law is a big believer in post-dinner scotches. Not a bad thing to believe in though, all things considered.

  work in progress on February 14, 2024 7:57 PM

• Hi everyone! Thanks for your patience and thanks to all the managers who have added availability to the Doodle poll and who have answered my emails :-) We have 2 options that can work for everyone - including Piranhas (thanks you two for being flexible!) Please let me know if you prefer Friday March 1 from 9:30PM to roughly 12:30AM OR Sunday March 3rd within a 3 hour window sometime between 12PM and 5PM. Please post preference here or msg me directly. Hope to have this confirmed by end of week.

  The Freeport Fireballers on February 14, 2024 7:52 PM

• If anyone has specific questions or can't make any of these options please feel free to email me at knowmore.matt@gmail.com or msg me directly via the direct message portion of the site, or leave a message here to if preferred. I'm game to create a Slack for this league, if there is interest. Please let me know via these same channels if that's something you'd be down for. Cheers!

  The Freeport Fireballers on February 10, 2024 11:29 AM

• Re: Auction, reminder all times are EST so please adjust as necessary and the 3 hour window is also flexible, if need be can always stretch out over two sessions or just have a long Sunday.

  The Freeport Fireballers on February 10, 2024 11:21 AM

• Happy Saturday! Here is the link to take one of our Doodle poll! This is based on availability from some of the managers who have a lot of dollars to play. This helped me zone in on a few days/times, specifically a few Thursday and Friday nights starting at 9:30 EST and Sundays from noon onwards (in 3 hour windows). The first option is the 29th of Feb; if none of these options work, we can look pre-Feb 29th/other options. https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/axoB2BBe

  The Freeport Fireballers on February 10, 2024 11:18 AM

• Welcome to the league, Seal Beach Kooks! Ok, now that we have a full compliment of managers I will share a doodle poll about the auction, this wknd.

  The Freeport Fireballers on February 9, 2024 11:18 AM

• Hey there. I just picked up the LA Kings. I’ll be cutting some guys shortly. I’m looking forward to the season.

  Seal Beach Kooks - on February 9, 2024 8:19 AM

• LA King has officially been abandoned. I'll see what we can do to get someone in to take over.

  The Freeport Fireballers on February 4, 2024 1:32 PM

• Happy Saturday all! I think the writing is on the wall that LA King isn't coming back. Will abandon and seek new management if no movement by tomorrow (Sunday Feb 4) at noon.

  The Freeport Fireballers on February 3, 2024 11:37 AM

• This weekend I'll set up a doodle calendar (or something) for the auction draft. If there are days/times that either a) definitely don't work i.e., March 14-17 are a no for me; or b) general times that work for anyone i.e., Thursday nights or Saturday afternoons are great --- please feel free to let me know when you have a moment between now and Sunday either post here or in the direct messages.

  The Freeport Fireballers on February 1, 2024 8:56 AM

• Happy Cut-Hangover Thursday! What a great day/whole week leading up to it was great to watch highlighted by the overhaul of the roster of Kenny Lofton Jr.'s Two-Way Contract!

  The Freeport Fireballers on February 1, 2024 8:55 AM

• Right on, work in progress, is back in business! Great to see ya! Now just hoping LA King can re-up in the next 15 min.

  The Freeport Fireballers on January 31, 2024 11:46 PM

• LA King was having challenges renewing; I haven't seen work in progress here since the beginning of Jan (and hasn't responded to my msg) so we may still need new managers as of tomorrow morning if they haven't re-upped. I'd like to give everyone enough time to make cuts after they join and so I'd like to propose that any new managers: Piranhas and wip and LA (if they don't renew) have until the end of the weekend to get their cut requests in. If wip & LA renew, this will only be for Pira

  The Freeport Fireballers on January 31, 2024 11:15 PM

• Hi everyone! I'd like to officially welcome Tom and Eilin to the league as the new co-managers of Piranhas! Yay!!

  The Freeport Fireballers on January 31, 2024 11:08 PM

• Totally agree, Bartolo! The activity has been super exciting! I'm definitely game for some last minute deals!

  The Freeport Fireballers on January 31, 2024 5:19 PM

• Love the activity these past few days--I am finally re-locking in before the deadline closes tonight if anyone wants to talk late-breaking trades.

  Bartolo's Cologne on January 31, 2024 5:14 PM

• Looks like we got a taker for the team his name is Tom email is ttsatsis21@gmail.com. He has a co-manager but waiting on the details. Tom has an ottoneu account set up already.
  
  Out of friends so please no one else drop before the season lol

  Turner's Fairly Odd Parents on January 31, 2024 4:12 PM

• Totally agree!
