• Commish and owners, downsizing quite a bit from my crazy year depression where I was claiming every team or almost, thanks for the fun, but I got to slow down (time consuming and $$), please abandon my team Congrats to winners

  Big Papi memories on October 11, 2024 3:48 PM

• Congrats PTBNL on a great season! A hard fought win!

  YUSEI KIKUCHI, I SAY TOMATO on September 30, 2024 10:35 PM

• Hey, thanks PTBNL! It was really fun starting over with this team and trying to win now but also rebuild for next year. If I had to do it over again I would not have drafted Goldschmidt (who knew he would forget how to hit) and I would have drafted Soto. Oh well.... I had a blast and I'll be back next year.

  Kuhl Krushers 3.0 on September 30, 2024 2:51 PM

• Great season. Turns out giving up 32 HR more than any other team will sink your P/IP in this league 🤔
  
  Will be an interesting offseason.

  Outfield of Dreams on September 30, 2024 9:50 AM

• Great season everyone! The top 3 this year finished 6th or lower last year. Big shouts to Kuhl who was the leader most of the season with a team that finished last in 2023.

  Player to be named later on September 30, 2024 9:48 AM

• Great season everyone! Let either Commissioner know if you don't plan on returning next year.

  Schwarbombs on September 30, 2024 9:36 AM

• Congrats PTBNL!

  Schwarbombs on September 30, 2024 9:35 AM

• Thanks! Let me see if I can rehab this team and be competitive next year.

  Fame Throwa on September 3, 2024 2:43 PM

• Welcome Fame Throwa! Glad to have you aboard.

  Schwarbombs on September 3, 2024 1:36 PM

• Friendly reminder that the trade deadline is tomorrow by 11:59p. Good Luck!
  Also, Lincoln City has been dormant all season. We are going to make the team available to a new manager on Tuesday. I’ve messaged the manager to inform them. If you feel a certain way about this please share your thoughts.

  Schwarbombs on August 30, 2024 9:24 PM

• Yikes, I didn't mean to bid on Robert Stephenson. Are those things correctible? No problem if not. I'll just deal with the mess up.

  YUSEI KIKUCHI, I SAY TOMATO on May 30, 2024 1:59 PM

• Anyone wanna trade? I’m in the market for a young 3B.

  Schwarbombs on April 13, 2024 11:06 PM

• You need to clear your cache

  Del Unser on March 15, 2024 7:49 PM

• Is anyone else getting a server connection error when trying access the draft room? sigh.

  Schwarbombs on March 15, 2024 7:42 PM

• Also, please remember you must draft enough active MLB players to have a functioning roster. See you all soon!

  Schwarbombs on March 14, 2024 7:03 PM

• Draft is tomorrow at 8pm. I suggest getting on a bit early to get acclimated to the draft room. Good luck all.

  Player to be named later on March 14, 2024 3:36 PM

• Perfect! I like that

  Kuhl Krushers 3.0 on March 3, 2024 9:01 PM

• This format has Arbitration voting in the off season, Gallen was voted off your team to deepen the FA pool for the draft. You are free to compete for him in the auction draft, if you win your player you will get a $5 discount.

  Schwarbombs on March 3, 2024 8:52 PM

• Was he voted off? I’ve only ever done arbitration via allocations before this

  Kuhl Krushers 3.0 on March 3, 2024 8:51 PM

• No issue with the upcoming cuts but I do have a question about why Gallen is listed as $20 and his price can be changed?
  My other ottoneu teams don’t have this.

  Kuhl Krushers 3.0 on March 3, 2024 8:47 PM

• Glad to have you! Let us know if you have any questions or issues with cuts.

  Schwarbombs on March 3, 2024 6:18 PM

• Welcome and thanks for joining

  Del Unser on March 3, 2024 5:07 PM

• Hey guys, I just took over the Oakland B's team. Looking forward to the challenge of taking over a last place team. I'm good with the draft day and time. And I will make my cuts soon.
  Thanks,
  Gregg

  Kuhl Krushers 3.0 on March 3, 2024 5:06 PM

• All, so far we have no takers on Oakland B’s. Kind of lame that they picked up the team in the fall and bailed before the season started.
  Do you have someone who would want to play with us?
  I’m going to work on a draft fill-in if we don’t have a manager by then.

  Schwarbombs on March 2, 2024 11:28 AM

• With no objections we will move to the 15th

  Player to be named later on March 1, 2024 8:45 AM

• On the note of the "TJ" rule I was considering asking for Senta to be dropped based on his shoulder injury, but now the league rule may not be used the way it was in the past. Considering I seem to get nailed by these rules and interpretations of them more frequently than most, asking for clarification seemed prudent. For the "TJ" rule and the fact that the 4th rule wasn't listed. Since folks are being uptight about things, I'd rather know what the rules actually are that are

  Something Clever on February 24, 2024 6:37 PM

• It wasn't listed with the three league specific rules, so, I asked. I think it's a pretty silly rule considering there are built in penalties that the system has, just like I think the cap on money being traded is silly. Also, considering how the "TJ" rule was revised or stated differently than it's been used in the past, I am wary. I wanted clarification. That's all, since it wasn't posted with the other three.

  Something Clever on February 24, 2024 6:34 PM

• Why would we get rid of that rule?

  Del Unser on February 24, 2024 3:22 PM

• Also, are we getting rid of the league rule with having to have your roster legal within some period of time of being over the cap/too many players and going to ottoneu default penalty of not being able to adjust your roster? Or no? Because that wasn't listed.

  Something Clever on February 24, 2024 3:21 PM

• Same, 15th works

  Mr Baseball on February 24, 2024 11:52 AM

• Totally open to the 15th move to accommodate the birthday. 👍

  Something Clever on February 24, 2024 5:09 AM

• The TJ clause was not if they specifically had Tommy John, it was if they suffered a significant injury during Spring Training that would keep them out for a significant portion of the season, that was it. It was not as limited as presented here. I would understand limiting it as it was more or less a judgement call, but that's not what the rule was. It has been used to drop position players that have broken significant bones, or even if a player went out because of league issues, domestic abuse

  Something Clever on February 24, 2024 5:08 AM

• As a reminder of the league bylaws.
  1. Jose Fernandez clause. If a player dies, they can be cut penalty free
  2. Tommy John clause. If a player goes out with TJ before opening day, they can be cut penalty free
  3. Cash Cap clause. No more than $25 can be exchanged in a trade
  
  Finally a reminder of the Ottoneu roster rules.

  Player to be named later on February 23, 2024 7:17 AM

• U-30 has requested to move the draft to March 15th because he has his daughters birthday on Saturday. I am amendable to changing it as it was a toss up between the two dates until someone broke tie. Please let me know if there are strong feelings either way.

  Player to be named later on February 23, 2024 7:07 AM

• So we are tied for 3/15 & 3/16. We still have a few laggards to make the difference. For some fun, if the tie isn't broken by the start of the Super Bowl on Sunday, we will go with a Chiefs win we draft on 3/15 or a 49ers win we draft on 3/16.

  Player to be named later on February 9, 2024 9:20 AM

• Wow, so glad you're doing better Papi. Hope the best for you in health and ottoneu!

  YUSEI KIKUCHI, I SAY TOMATO on February 9, 2024 8:07 AM

• A crazy angel, I went down this fall to 85-90 (I had a stroke in September) and I'm back up in the 120, the wife says how come you're always at the computer, Ottoneu my dear, sure keeps you busy, she thinks I'm in about 30 leagues, imagine....don't want to tell her, she's going to send me a Ottoneu anonymous meeting, having fun, the big problems are lineups and cost. Next year, got to keep myself from claiming teams, it's like a drug, I see a potentially good lineup and I say why not......

  Big Papi memories on February 8, 2024 4:31 PM

• Papi, I am not sure how you manage it. You will be studied and referenced in Otto lore. The guy who managed 120 teams. At this point, you are an angel investor in the platform lol

  Player to be named later on February 8, 2024 3:45 PM

• I have drafts on almost every day in February and March, so no problem for the date, I can manage two, three our drafts at a time with split screens, rarely many positions to fill, I'm possive of my players, only to regret it in May or June.....haha

  Big Papi memories on February 8, 2024 3:15 PM

• So far just over half of the league has responded to the poll for our draft date. If you haven't already, please take a moment to share your preference. Thanks

  Player to be named later on February 8, 2024 2:28 PM

• Here is the doodle poll for draft times. Please let me know if you have any issues. https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/bWW1OoEb

  Player to be named later on February 4, 2024 7:20 PM

• Draft. PTBNL and I are getting a plan together for the usual draft date poll. Stay Tuned for updates.

  Schwarbombs on February 1, 2024 2:52 PM

• Less than 90 minutes to the deadline! We may have 1 team expiring and heading back to the Available teams pool. I've sent them a message in hopes of keeping us at a full 12.

  Schwarbombs on January 31, 2024 10:39 PM

• Reminders! Keeper deadline! 3 teams haven't renewed their teams! Deadline for both is this Wednesday at 11:59p ET

  Schwarbombs on January 28, 2024 10:33 PM

• Welcome Del Unser!

  Schwarbombs on January 7, 2024 10:13 PM

• Thanks for the reminder. I was able to make the payment through a web browser finally - the mobile browser wasn't giving me the option to allow for location services for Paydala. Thought I'd share in case anyone else is still having problems on mobile.

  Dale a tu cuerpo alegría Arozarena on January 5, 2024 11:57 AM

• Also, Wheeler is available.

  Schwarbombs on January 5, 2024 11:32 AM

• Happy New Year! Please remember to pay for your Ottoneu and make your roster cuts by the end of the month! Reach out to either of us if you have any issues.

  Schwarbombs on January 5, 2024 11:31 AM

• OK, thanks

  Big Papi memories on December 17, 2023 12:04 PM
