Agreed - great season everyone! Glad I could just barely sneak into 3rd. Looking forward to the actual postseason and fantasy offseason!
-
What a run Kurt, congrats on the title! Was fun watching it unfold from way down at the bottom. Looking forward to an off-season to retool. Good first season folks
-
If anyone is looking to make a deal before the deadline let me know. I’ve got some difference makers (Freeman, Turner, Bregman, Burnes) and OF depth I would deal. Looking for controllable pieces with a preference for those already on major league rosters
-
I've got an abundance of starters I trust. Looking to move one for an upgrade in my lineup. None are untouchable
-
Well Story tried to single-handedly make up for Eovaldi for you last night lol absolutely insane stat line.
-
A not so nice -69 points from Nathan Eovaldi for me tonight...
-
Yeah the positional eligibility does not mean a lot for pitchers. It is a little confusing. From the rules:
All pitchers can be placed in either SP or RP positions on the lineup and roster organizer pages. However they will only accrue statistics if you use them in the same manner as their MLB team
-
Ahh thanks! That's good. Weird that they even have pitching eligibility rules then
-
Yea I just screwed up with kopech. Eligibility doesn’t matter, if he’s starting you put him in the starter spot if he’s coming out of the pen you put him in relief. There is a note above pitchers on the lineup page.
-
So jordan hicks was named the 5th starter but only has rp eligibility. As I understand the rules that means he's basically ineligible. If I put him in the rp slot when he is starting he will not accrue points, and I cannot use him as a starter until he gets 5 starts.
-
So good to finally have it back! Good luck to everyone this season!
-
Cold and overcast afternoon April baseball! Feels good to have it back. Good luck all!
-
Baseball is here!!! Good luck everyone and enjoy the season!

Filling game caps and inning caps is one the largest determinants to place in the standings. If you fill all games and innings and the team isn't horrible - you'll finish in the top half more than likely
-
Only my second season of Ottoneu but I will say that it seems like hitting your game caps is really important (and harder than you think) - I got too cute in the first half last year and didn’t hit my caps. Probably cost me a spot or two in the standings. So unless you have an everyday stud at that position my suggestion would be if you’re on the fence start the guy
-
You have it 100% exactly correct. This includes catcher despite the two available spots in the lineup
"Want to make sure I am understanding this correctly. Each position has a 162 game cap. If a normal bench player has a game tomorrow, you may not necessarily want to start him, because this counts as 1/162 games for that position, correct? In theory, you would want your best player to fill all 162 games at that position (obviously optimistic)."
-
Sorry for the typo, 162 total for the two catcher spots, not 192
-
That's accurate - every spot in the lineup has a limit of 162 games for the season (with the exception being Catcher, which has 192 total between the two spots; OF has 162*5 total games). Once you hit those limits you can no longer accumulate points from players at those positions.
-
@musial yes that is my understanding and is what I will be doing. Someone correct us if we are wrong haha.

I am really pumped to get underway!

Draft begins in an hour - see everyone soon!

Happy to answer any questions before we finish off our draft tonight. If not, I'll see you all at 8pm EDT

Draft in under 6 hours. Hope everyone is ready for the late chaos and the speed of everything.
We have about 250 players to do tonight. Make sure to have your queue built up and your late targets ready.
As mentioned and executed night 1 - everyone must nominate. There can be unfair strategic element to skipping nominations. To speed things along I will allow the odd missed/skipped nomination and not reset the timer but won't allow the same team to continue to skip their
-
Sorry Yeah Buddy - hopefully DeGrom is able to return and give you at least a great half season. Good thing is that you'll be able to adjust for Saturday to fill the innings potentially lost
-
You can start 2 on any given day, but only have 162 GS between the two spots for the entire season. Basically, it's that way to give us a way to deal with the inconsistent playing time catchers get.
-
Do we start 1 catcher or 2?

I was thinking a 5–10 minute break halfway through (2 hours in). And then we go another 2 hours.
I don't believe we have a hard stop but I don't imagine we'll go much past the 4 hour mark tonight (especially because we'll have another night setup to complete the remaining nominations)
-
Just 2 quick questions. Do we have a hard stop time tonight? Or just kinda play it by ear? Also will we have a 5/10 min break in the middle (restroom, grab more beer haha)

A tip for bidding, be careful of using the +1 button as you could accidentally bid after someone does a jump-bid and be stuck with a bid much higher than you intended. Won't happen often but it is something to be aware of.
Definitely worth going into the auction room and setting your watchlist there and getting used the layout.
I'm around/active from now until the draft and am happy to answer any questions anyone might have about the league or draft tonight
-
Thank you for providing that information Meet me at Musial. Another helpful video to see the updated look is: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAOIse-tZ8s . Start at 20:00 mark to see the auctions taking place.
You will have 30 seconds to nominate a player. As mentioned, it is good to have your watchlist ready with nominations to speed up the process. Every player must make a nomination.
The bid time for each player is 15 seconds. It resets to 15 seconds every time anoth
-
@vivoelbirdos - I would check out this Youtube video. I found it helpful. It will be my first draft as well. You want to make sure to load up some players on your watch list that you would like to nominate for bidding.

What exactly is the auction setup. After a player is nominated how are we bidding (blind?) ? And when is the player won?
-
@One Legged Legend - check your messages on Ottoneu. We'll sort it out there
-
Due to very late notice and general unresponsiveness we will unfortunately be proceeding without the original owner.
Thankfully we had someone willing to step in and take over the team. Drafts are still set for Wednesday and Saturday as initially set out. See everyone in 22 hours.
Thank you for your understanding and co-operation during this chaotic past week. Hopefully smoother sailing ahead!
-
Hey everyone,
Still plan on the draft happening tomorrow night - I'm working on possible solutions. Will update everyone tonight with the resolution.
Looking forward to tomorrow night!
-
If you do not have one - we could search for one on the community board
-
To what Sometimes Maybe Good said, ideal situation would be having a proxy you trust and you provide them with your values/draft prep. Thoughts @ One Legged Legend??
-
It might just have to be couch managers at this point if we need to keep pushing it.

I would strongly prefer we keep the draft on Wednesday as I've already made plans around assuming it would be that night... Any chance you can have someone fill in for you, One Legged?
-
Here is a link to another poll for Sunday-Wednesday next week. These are the last possible dates for a draft.
Please fill it out over the next couple days: https://xoyondo.com/dp/qOgZvDG2aWKwawD
With this change we will move the first draft to Saturday at 8pm-12am (EDT)

Thanks for the info, See you on the 30th.

There is no weekly GS cap or season long GS cap for pitchers. It is a 1,500 IP cap for the whole season (shared between SP and RP). No restrictions on how and when those are filled.
There is a 162 GP cap for each position you see in the lineup (excluding the second catcher spot - total Catcher GP cap is 162).
One of the biggest determinants of the final standings is GP and IP total. It's a fine balance between maximizing your points per game/inning while also filling t

What is our weekly GS cap?

Important in-auction note: Everyone is required to make a nomination. This isn't an issue early but the rule holds for the whole draft. I will be quickly resetting the nomination timer before someone misses their turn. This ensures that everyone makes their nominations and nobody is away and missing players up for auction.
Feel free to post additional resources/notes/tips or ask any questions.
Looking forward to the draft on Wednesday and good luck everybody!
