• Also, like I said before, we had this happen multiple times over multiple years and there was never any penalty like this, it smacks of impropriety and a lack of fairness in how this situation is being handled versus how the others were in the past. I had a justifiable expectation that this wouldn't happen. I heard about it because the U30 owner texted me about it, not because I'm logged in. I shouldn't have had to worry.

  Spencer Squared on July 21, 2021 11:28 AM

• I am happy to put the "rule" to a vote: when an owner due to winning an auction puts their team over the limit in terms of salary cap or amount of players on the roster, that owner should take action immediately to remedy the situation, but in worst case will have a maximum of 4 days to remedy the situation, before the commissioner will take the action of removing that player from the owners roster that caused this owner to be over the limit in the first place". Yay or nay.

  Mr Baseball on July 21, 2021 11:27 AM

• John never used the system to penalize a team, only to help fix mistakes. If there were league specific rules, like our cut an injured keeper player if it's a life changing thing is a rule people know about and agreed to. This is baloney.

  Spencer Squared on July 21, 2021 11:24 AM

• I made cuts and then I got distracted. The only penalty we have ever enforced for a team being over the cap was that the team couldn't make any moves and couldn't be in the auctions. This new made up rule was the sort of thing John wouldn't have done and I disagree with it. 3-4 days is an arbitrary number and it reeks of bad sportsmanship. Institute a league rule, vote on it, and then everyone knows it's there. Don't make up fake penalties because you don't like what the system allows.

• Yeah really sorry to hear about your heart attack. Health is always more important that a fantasy league. Hope your recovery is going well.

  Midnight's Children on July 21, 2021 9:09 AM

• I too am sorry about your health problems and echo Mookie's sentiment. To the decision, not only did you make cuts after Acuna was added you also logged into the league on July 19th which is after my initial post about you needing to make additional cuts. In addition to sending messages in Otto, we also emailed you on July 19th.

  Player to be named later on July 21, 2021 8:57 AM

• First and foremost, so sorry to hear of your health problems. Hopefully things are improving for you! Health/lifestyle changes are definitely challenging.
  But, in my opinion, your add/cut history shows you making cuts on the 17th after Acuna was added to your roster. If I’m not mistaken, you’ve been in the league since the beginning and you know this league has always required a high activity level and 3-4 days seems fair to me.

  Schwarbombs on July 21, 2021 4:56 AM

• Didn't want to have to tell the whole league I had heart attack about a month ago and the 3 blood thinners I am on, plus the new lifestyle changes like diet and exercise have kept me a bit of kilter, so I didn't see any of this until about 5 min ago. Didn't even wait a week to hear from me.

  Spencer Squared on July 21, 2021 4:20 AM

• Weird you guys seemed to has this all out on a thread without even waiting for a response from me. What's the rush for everyone else to get an injured player?

  Spencer Squared on July 21, 2021 4:16 AM

• I'd you could talk to me versus giving me an ultimatum that would be cool. Yah, was hoping Glyber would be auctioned. Since we didn't have a rule in place like this to just make a commish rule about it is kind of a dick thing to do. We have had players in previous years go without their roster being legal for over a month. Your not even going to make it a league vote to make a time limit or penalty just arbitrarily impose it at this point and in this case?

  Spencer Squared on July 21, 2021 4:15 AM

• Didn't see this, wish folks would send an email to my Gmail or call me. I had a heart attack so I haven't been following the league closely.

  Spencer Squared on July 21, 2021 4:14 AM

• The 2nd highest bidder plan seems the most ethical to me. Now I’m wishing I put in the bid I had in mind! :) Hopefully Seager is ok

  Schwarbombs on July 21, 2021 1:01 AM

• To be honest, anything besides Seager cutting who they need to cut to get under the cap so the rest of us can bid / claim / etc. is pretty weak at this point, but whatever you guys decide is what it is.

  Fame Throwa on July 21, 2021 12:27 AM

• For reference, the auction concluded on 16 July. As commissioners we felt the same about giving any owner 3-4 days, but those 3-4 days have passed.

  Mr Baseball on July 21, 2021 12:20 AM

• (continued) been away from his computer, or just not sure what the best course was. So I think he should be given the benefit of the doubt and make the roster moves he wants to make (instead of it just being taken away). 3-4 days seems fair to me... but I'd be down with whatever the league thought :)

  Midnight's Children on July 21, 2021 12:19 AM

• This is just my two cents... but I would agree with your thought about Acuna going to the second highest bidder (U-30 for $46... what a contract!). However, I would make that the backup plan so that Seager has a chance to act and make the cuts. IMO Seager he is not technically breaking the rules... but is definitely breaking the spirit of the game / league. I personally would want him to have 3-4 days to make a decision on cuts, then go with U-30 if no action is made. Seager may have been...

  Midnight's Children on July 21, 2021 12:17 AM

• Opinions?

  Mr Baseball on July 21, 2021 12:01 AM

• Redo the auction is another option, but due to the results of the previois auction being public, there is a degree of unfairness in the second auction compared to the first auction, because folks can now adjust their values. So that is why it is not the first preference.

  Mr Baseball on July 21, 2021 12:01 AM

• First action taken: Acuña is off Seager’s team. Now we are debating what the best course of action is. We propose that we resolve the Acuña auction as if the highest bid did not exist, which means putting him on the second highest bidder’s team. In this case, that would mean U-30 get Acuña for $46.

  Mr Baseball on July 20, 2021 11:59 PM

• The roster is locked, so the lineup will not change, but players in the lineup continue to accrue points. We wrote to Seager several times over the last few days without response. Some form of action is imminent.

  Mr Baseball on July 20, 2021 8:43 PM

• Kind of surprised the system just lets it stay over for days? The other sites I'm on locks the roster and points until the cap issue is resolved. Strange.

  Fame Throwa on July 19, 2021 3:32 PM

• Or he goes to the 2nd highest bidder…I’d be more than happy to have him be part of the U-30 Youth All Stars

  U-30 Youth All Stars on July 19, 2021 12:54 PM

• Not a pain at all, totally agree. Seager, please remedy the situation!

  Mr Baseball on July 19, 2021 12:51 PM

• Hey sorry - not trying to be a pain in the butt... but I do think Seager Bros you probably should cut a player. It will open up good opportunities for the other teams. Love your squad though!

  Midnight's Children on July 19, 2021 12:37 PM

• Seager Bros you have more cuts to make

  Player to be named later on July 17, 2021 11:54 PM

• Good luck with that Bauer pickup, sucks how that all worked out but I just decided as a Dodger fan I don't want to have him on any of my rosters and this was the only one I did. He's a good pitcher though, might backfire on me.

  Fame Throwa on July 13, 2021 4:31 PM

• Haha - you’re right Matt that was a pretty cold move! TBH I didn’t think through all the finances when I put down the $22 for Bauer. Sorry Pete my bad :)

  Midnight's Children on July 13, 2021 3:53 PM

• Brad, that's how you reward Pete Alonso after crushing it in the HR derby, by dropping him? :)

  Dale a tu cuerpo alegría Arozarena on July 13, 2021 2:20 PM

• Congrats on trying!

  YUSEI KIKUCHI, I SEIYA SUZUKI on May 1, 2021 8:39 PM

• OPL thoughts.
  1. Dang! Thought I get through a round or 2!
  2. Why is my team so cold and non productive!? Sigh. :)

  Schwarbombs on May 1, 2021 9:36 AM

• Whether intentional or unintentional... baller move by whoever started the Eloy auction. You got me by one day to take me out of the bid... :(

  Midnight's Children on April 22, 2021 9:33 AM

• Pretty crazy! Musgrove for me last week, Rodón for me today, with identical no-hitters (1 HBP).

  Dale a tu cuerpo alegría Arozarena on April 15, 2021 12:39 AM

• Wow Matt! No hitting Rodon for $1!? Well played by you man!

  Midnight's Children on April 14, 2021 10:53 PM

• He’s setting his lineup. Spoke with him today.

  Player to be named later on April 3, 2021 12:44 PM

• That is worrisome, I don't know them on my end. Anyone else?

  Spencer Squared on April 3, 2021 2:09 AM

• People, I am worried about Lots of Nectar. 2nd day in a row that no lineup has been set. I wrote a message yesterday, but it is unread. Anyone has a way of reaching out by phone? I hope everything is all right.

  Mr Baseball on April 2, 2021 9:35 PM

• That’s it! It starts today. Do not forget to set your lineups.

  Mr Baseball on April 1, 2021 9:00 AM

• HAPPY SEASON! Fingers crossed for 162!

  Schwarbombs on April 1, 2021 8:20 AM

• Having now read up on Best Ball, OPL makes so much more sense now! Seems like it'll be super fun if my players stay healthy and perform well!

  Schwarbombs on March 25, 2021 11:35 AM

• Oh cool! I obviously haven't played Best Ball before, so now I have term and some research to do! Thanks Mudville!

  Schwarbombs on March 23, 2021 12:09 PM

• Pretty sure OPL is best ball format, so it will put your best performers in the lineup every day for that contest. So if a guy on your bench has a better day than the guy in your lineup, for the OPL it'll optimize it for the most possible points. Good luck! Best ball is super fun.

  Fame Throwa on March 23, 2021 12:41 AM

• Thanks! I decided to live dangerously and try a new thing. Here's what I "think" I understand so far. The first 3 rounds are each 1 month long, you set your roster on the 1st and that's who you play with for the month. -70 teams/round, 240 to start. I think the scoring might be different than our settings, so that could be a wild ride! The final tourney rounds are $$, not sure of those rules... I'll be stoked if I make it that far! I'll do my best to rep Stats N@!

  Schwarbombs on March 22, 2021 3:43 PM

• Yes, please @Mookie, if you have a free moment at some point, tell us a bit more. I am most Curious!

  Mr Baseball on March 22, 2021 3:26 PM

• I'm excited for the season to start too! And Mookie- looking forward to cheering you on in the OPL! I'm not too proud to admit I don't really understand how that league works but I'm glad our league is represented and hope you do well.

  Outfield of Dreams on March 22, 2021 3:19 PM

• The start of the season is inching closer and closer. I like all the activity going on in terms of finetuning rosters. Just 10 more days and we can enjoy what is supposed to be a sort of normal baseball (and fantasy) season. Let's cross our fingers that all will work out fine. I am excited!

  Mr Baseball on March 22, 2021 12:03 PM

• Training him up in a good way! Glad to have him!

  YUSEI KIKUCHI, I SEIYA SUZUKI on March 6, 2021 6:25 PM

• Happy Draft Day Everyone! Just a little heads up that I will have my 6 year old son with me for the first part of the draft (he LOVES baseball and is super excited). I appreciate any attempts to keep the chatter and commentary kid appropriate. Not that that sort of thing is a big issue around here, but wanted to give you all the heads up.

  Outfield of Dreams on March 6, 2021 9:38 AM

• 4 days left!

  Player to be named later on March 2, 2021 8:12 AM

• I'll figure it out, just thought I'd ask. Thanks anyways.
