• Final day to change your arbitration. If, say, you want to move money off me and on someone else 😂. Then the good part of off-season can start. We had Atomic Dogs and Black Beard recently decide they are not staying so please let me know if you have any friends who would be interested!

  Cal Rikken on November 14, 2024 10:07 AM

• Two more weeks of arbitration, please get it in before I hound you. Also again let me know if you don't plan to return

  Cal Rikken on October 31, 2024 12:04 PM

• Welcome to our new manager! Reach out if you have questions

  Cal Rikken on October 21, 2024 4:47 PM

• Sad to see Papi go, but happy that we got another manager quickly, thanks to Ryan McMahon (the manager, not the player).

  Cal Rikken on October 21, 2024 4:47 PM

• Hi Commish and owners, congrats to the winners, wanted to say it's been a pleasure playing with all of you this season. Got way too many leagues and cannot maintain the rythm (time consuming and $$$). So I won't be renewing many of my leagues like this one, got some talent to attract new owner for next year so you should be able to quickly fill vacancy. have a good arb and a great future season! Thanks Commish for great work

  Big Papi memories on October 19, 2024 2:59 PM

• Arbitration Season is here. Try to get your arb in early, less chance of me messaging you reminders!
  Please let me know if for some reason you don't plan to return next year

• Oof

• This is how close that title was- one more ER allowed by my team and McMahon and I would have tied for the title

  Cal Rikken on September 30, 2024 7:45 PM

• Thanks for another great season y'all!

  Cal Rikken on September 30, 2024 7:08 PM

• There's still a game and a half left! Lol

  Cal Rikken on September 30, 2024 3:18 PM

• Congrats to our commish on the title! I will be back next year with presumably worse pitching luck and maybe even a team name that doesn’t have the maximum number of characters.

• Congrats Cal and McMahon on a great season!

• If anyone is interested in football, check out the Claims page - the league is called The Good Place (league 148). We're looking for some owners.

• Max Fried is OTB

  Big Papi memories on August 10, 2024 2:16 AM

• I'll look into it and clear a second cap penalty if it's still there after he clears waivers

  Cal Rikken on June 27, 2024 4:07 PM

• Yeah he’s showing up as two different cap penalties for me. Anything is possible going through the infinite improbability machine but I have no idea how this happened

  Infinite Improbability Machine on June 27, 2024 12:52 PM

• I see bo naylor twice as well. weird!

  DaBums on June 27, 2024 1:14 AM

• Does everyone else see Bo Naylor listed twice on waivers? On my end it actually looks like his cap penalty is counting twice as well

  Has Traded for Ryan McMahon 3 Times on June 26, 2024 8:35 PM

• Sam Basallo- the top 20 prospect hitting 30 percent better than league average in AA where the average age is 5 years older than him, is in the market. I'm highly motivated to trade him before the OPL snap which means a trade before the end of tomorrow night. Hit me up if interested. OF, SP, 2 for 1 deals are most appealing

  Cal Rikken on June 11, 2024 11:16 AM

• In case people forgot or didn't know, suspended games, like the Os v Cards today, will not count for your stats today. Don't set lineups thinking they have a double header. If a player was in your lineup yesterday, the stats will accumulate for them for yesterday's game, retroactively. The live standings page might not accurately reflect this but this is what will happen and be reflected in the standings when ottoneu gets the stats for the finished game.

  Cal Rikken on May 22, 2024 10:52 AM

• Happy Opening Day everyone! Best day of the year! Make sure you get in on Pick Six! Pretty fun. https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/sixpicks/#

  Atomic Dogs 🐺 on March 28, 2024 12:43 PM

• If you finished top 6 In this league and haven't done OPL before, maybe consider checking it out, there's still spots! No additional lineup setting, some prizes to win. There's a link at the top of the page with more info, I find it fun

  Cal Rikken on March 25, 2024 9:44 AM

• The implication is that if the non-voters broke the same way as the voters it would have been something like 7 to 5 against. That said, you can't extrapolate from a small sample to the full group.

  Rites of Springer on March 13, 2024 7:51 PM

• The implication is that anyone who didn't vote wouldve vetoed?

  Cal Rikken on March 13, 2024 7:48 PM

• I just noticed the Cole Ragans trade had 3 vetoes to 2 approvals. Saved by indifference.

  Rites of Springer on March 13, 2024 6:01 PM

• Reminder that the draft is tomorrow night!

  Cal Rikken on March 6, 2024 7:58 AM

• Draft in one week!

  Cal Rikken on February 29, 2024 10:07 AM

• March 7th appears to be the best date. Set your calendars!

  Cal Rikken on February 11, 2024 4:04 PM

• I'm not sure if I mentioned on the poll, but if you can make the draft date but the time is +- 1 hour of your availability, please mark it as maybe and I will speak to you if it is the best date for the group

  Cal Rikken on February 10, 2024 8:31 PM

• Hey y'all, made a poll for getting draft date. Please try to be as flexible with your time as you can. Use your team name in the selection so I can ping people as needed. https://whenavailable.com/event/RqDr7v5kynfiXS8r7

  Cal Rikken on February 10, 2024 2:53 PM

• I will send out a doodle for draft dates as soon as possible.

  Cal Rikken on February 1, 2024 8:20 AM

• Please make your league payments! Due date Jan 31

  Cal Rikken on January 26, 2024 2:21 PM

• Thanks for having me! Looking forward to the season.

  Atomic Dogs 🐺 on December 8, 2023 6:34 PM

• Please welcome Walkoff to the League! Taking over Mockingbird Killers. Looking forward to another good year. Now please send me trade proposals it's too quiet

  Cal Rikken on December 8, 2023 11:50 AM

• Looking for 1, maybe 2 replacement managers. Let me know if you have a guy or gal that would be interested!

  Cal Rikken on November 21, 2023 8:52 AM

• Congrats Banana Stand! I thought it was near impossible to make up as much ground in August and September as IIM did, made it a great race to the end.

  Has Traded for Ryan McMahon 3 Times on October 1, 2023 9:36 PM

• Well done everyone and congrats to the top 2 finishers, it was fun to see the battle until the end...

  DaBums on October 1, 2023 7:53 PM

• What an incredible race to the end. Hell of a run by Improb. Everyone should go check out the historical standings by day and gawk in awe. Never seen anything like it.

  Always $ in the Banana Stand on October 1, 2023 7:20 PM

• Once again congrats to Banana Stand. At least this year it was close

  Infinite Improbability Machine on October 1, 2023 6:12 PM

• Best of luck to everyone on the final weekend! My team crashed out but it's an intriguing battle at the end here!

  Cal Rikken on September 27, 2023 9:28 PM

• I know Mookie is worth 52 but I need the cap space to field a roster next year. Maybe keeping McClanahan will be the wrong call in the future

  Infinite Improbability Machine on September 1, 2023 9:35 AM

• Not to pile on, but in what world is a $52, SS eligible Mookie a cut, while a $32 Lindor is a clear keep. Are we switching to Razz scoring next year? If not that's at least a $20 drop in surplus.

  Rites of Springer on September 1, 2023 9:16 AM

• Not to tip my strategy but Mookie was going to be a cut and I needed a SS and I started shopping him when I was closer to 63/64 points and 4/5. Maybe I could have waited to the offseason but I liked this deal even if it’s a tough pill to swallow. Trading Mookie to save money feels like I’m repeating bad history

  Infinite Improbability Machine on September 1, 2023 9:06 AM

• He was in second, and I think it's pretty clear you could get more than that for Betts in the off-season, but maybe that's just me. Obviously allowed to make your own valuations

  Cal Rikken on September 1, 2023 8:59 AM

• I am assuming for next year. He’s cutting $20 in cap space by trading down from Mookie. This allows him to utilize that space for McClanahan — but I may be wrong and there was a mixup with the loan

  Always $ in the Banana Stand on August 31, 2023 3:53 PM

• You gave a loan, so what cap space?

  Cal Rikken on August 29, 2023 10:18 PM

• Damn commish. Someone who needs that 20 dollars in cap to replace McClanahan but it hurts

  Infinite Improbability Machine on August 29, 2023 10:12 PM

• Sorry but uh why would you trade a better SS for a worse one?

  Cal Rikken on August 29, 2023 10:10 PM

• With McClanahan getting tj looking to trade, especially Mookie but most position players, for starting pitching

  Infinite Improbability Machine on August 15, 2023 11:16 PM

• I have Muncy, Lowe, Marte and others at second, would be willing to flip them or others for a SS. Lemme know
