Congrats to The Injured List on a dominant season. And thanks to Erik and Brian for running this awesome league. #lgm

Erik, shrewd move with that last-minute move to grab Charlie Blackmon, just in case Ottoneu next year decides to let us use retired players' stats from 2017.

A hearty mazel tov to Brett and the Injured List. Once you took the lead, you never looked back. It was an impressive run to the finish. I'm happy to be passing the Cup to a fellow first-time champion and inaugural team owner in this thing of ours.
Congrats, too, to Sixy Games Out, who is no stranger to the upper echelon in this league, and Swamp Drainers, who aptly drained the swamp of our perennial also-ran and has built a winner. I'll be in touch with the $$$ winners soon.

Great work, Brett! (Uh, what's a soft-innings cap?)
Happ-enstance! on September 30, 2024 9:04 PM

Yes, congratulations Brett! Although I’d argue that you may have won the league even if you didn’t properly navigate the soft innings cap, though maybe by less than 531 points!!!

Thanks! It took 10 long years for me to get here and correctly utilize the soft innings cap as Erik and Brian will remember. Congrats to all on a fun season

Tyrone, thank you for your service. Congratulations to The Injured List on an impressive championship, and... let's go Mets!

Tyrone Taylor will never be more valuable, lol. Let's go Mets!

It probably goes without saying, but I’ll say it anyway: Because of the Mets-Braves doubleheader that is now happening Monday, the Ottoneu season now ends on Monday instead of Sunday. Play ball!

J.D. Davis? I understand there's some high-level strategy going on but Swamp Drainers, I need to know the J.D. Davis strategy! You can tell me after the season if it's a secret!

Until today, the Thundercats had been in first place every day since April 1. Pretty damn impressive. Good luck to all in the 2nd half.

Hi all...
Inasmuch as a repeat looks unlikely, I would like to put a call out for payment since I won't be subsidizing the unpaid this year. I have payments from four teams--Big Time, Happ-enstance, Swamp Drainers and Tony Womack. If you think you've paid, let me know and we can sort it out. If not, please shoot me funds at Venmo (@Brian-Hershberg) or Paypal (bhershberg@gmail.com).
On another note, congrats to our top three teams. It looks like it's going to be a good race tThe B Team on July 16, 2024 10:37 AM

Hello contenders, Tony Womack isn't contending this year so I'm offering the aging but effective JD Martinez to the highest bidder. He has a few limitations: He's old, and he no longer owns a baseball glove. But he has a few strengths: He's $4 and he still hits Ding Dong Johnsons. If you're looking for the perfect rental to bolster your lineup on those scantily scheduled Thursdays, look no further than JD. Offer a prospect in the BA 40-100 range. One for one. No frills.

To whoever started the auction for Ty France: Don't do it. You're better than that. Let's make a deal for Rhys Hoskins, Josh Bell, or Connor Joe.

Great auction, guys! Remember that from now until the start of the season (on Wednesday!), ties in the supplemental auctions are decided at random by Ottoneu. After that, ties are decided by whoever is lower in the standings.
Big Time Timmy Jim on March 17, 2024 11:58 AM

I know the franchise tag thing was a pain in the ass, but the problem with getting rid of them is that you could make a really smart bet on a minor leaguer, watch them turn into a superstar, and then be forced to cut him just a year or two later because his price is probably going to jump $15+ per year and there's nothing you can do about it.

With one day to go, 1st and 2nd place are just 12 points apart! Have we ever had a race this close? Meanwhile, I am in a battle for... 8th.

In my ongoing effort to catch Brian and Joe, I will attempt to score a positive number of points today. Unlike yesterday.

We're only at the All-Star break and it is already abundantly clear that I will be handing off our league's amazing coffee cup trophy to someone else after four years of glory. But to whom? Congratulations to first-half leader Brian and all the rest of you who are off to excellent starts. I'll be watching the race from the peanut gallery, nursing my wounds just like my best players are.

Baseball is so good: https://twitter.com/MLB/status/1674967142704226304 (watch around 0:20 mark when he comes around third)
Fun fact about Carlos Santana: He hit a home run in 2018 in the Philadelphia Inquirer's homerun payoff inning that paid off for yours truly to the tune of $1,000.The B Team on July 6, 2023 10:10 AM

How much has my starting pitching collapsed? So much that 36-year-old Wade Miley, whom I picked off the trash heap for $1 last week, is my #1.

Erik and Cristian Pache are obviously in a dysfunctional relationship. If that's not a cry for help I don't know what is.

Two days left until arbitration ends!
Big Time Timmy Jim on November 12, 2022 5:21 PM
-
For the teams that have not yet allocated: Reminder that arbitration ends Nov. 14, and failure to participate in arbitration is grounds for expulsion from the league.
For the dude who allocated $1 to Aaron Nola: Reminder that players whose salaries are $99 are $99 because they have franchise tags. If you keep your $1 on Nola it will not count, and we will mock you for believing that raising a salary to $100 would have made a difference.Big Time Timmy Jim on November 1, 2022 10:05 PM
-
Folks, apologies for the delay, but each of your franchise-tag selections was valid, and I temporarily adjusted the salaries of the designated players to $99 so people don't accidentally assign arbitration dollars to them. You're now free to arb other teams. I'll adjust the salaries back once arbitration is over.
