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.
-
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.

2014 wasn’t this close one day out, but check out how it ended!
-
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.
-
It’s been quite a run Sixty!
-
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.

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.

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.

April 5. April 5. Long shall we remember April 5. I, Erik Holm of the Brooklyn Holms, am in first place in all three of my fantasy baseball leagues. I know it can’t last, but man does it feel good.
-
Chris Bassitt’s line today: 3.1 IP, 9 R, 10 H, 4 Ding Dong Johnsons. God I love baseball.
-
He told me he wanted to see other managers.
-
Erik and Cristian Pache are obviously in a dysfunctional relationship. If that's not a cry for help I don't know what is.
-
Swamp Drainers just cornered the market on starting pitchers who will average 4.4 p/ip
-
Thanks for a great draft! Supplemental auctions are now open for business.
-
Our draft is Sunday! Here's hoping the banking turmoil means several of you won't have time to prepare.
-
Reminder: Today is the last day for roster cuts!
-
Thanks for making me cry!!!
-
This story brought a tear to my eye, and I thought you all might enjoy. Merry Christmas to those who celebrate:

Two days left until arbitration ends!
-
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.
-
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.

I will use my one and only franchise tag to protect Señor José Ramírez, 5'9" of béisbol magic.
-
It’s been a humbling month for SGO. Baseball’s like that. On to September!
-
Really think next year will be Ozuna's year.
-
OK, in that case I'm offering Judge and Alvarez for any scrub anyone's got. BOB, have at it.
-
Trades!
If you're considering trading with Sixty Games Out, talk to me before you complete a deal! I'll top whatever offer he makes!
-
TCFC just cut my formerly substantial lead in half in one week with 7 more to go, which is pretty amazing. So I'm definitely open for business re: trades. Let's do deals, people!
-
Wishing I hadn’t abandoned my $98 bid on Grissom.
-
You guys are in trouble now! #degrominator
-
Correction: they're actually prospects #2 and #10 if you don't count rookies who are already in the majors. https://www.mlb.com/prospects/top100/
-
The biggest risk my team faced was an injury to Harper or Judge, and now it's happened. Harper's going to be out a long time. I have two top-15 prospects: Anthony Volpe (#5) and Jack Leiter (#15) and am ready to consider trading at least one of them for an all-star bat or arm. Let's make a deal, folks.
-
There may be hope for me yet: In the 5 non-salary-management times I've added/cut Vince Velasquez, 9 days is the shortest time before I got fed up.
6/15/15 - 1/18/18
5/27/19 - 7/3/19
7/28/20 - 8/19/20
5/17/21 - 7/20/21
5/9/22 - 5/18/22
I have had precisely one good game from him during this stretch.

I like that interpretation! Though it's also a charitable way of saying I can't keep a full roster healthy enough to stay on the pace for innings or games. Acuna comes back tonight, baby!
-
Erik is in 7th place but he's winning. The rest of us are pitching too many innings and starting too many hitters.
-
Only one team in the league has an offense averaging more than 5 ppg. That's crazy!
-
I'm not just in last place. I'm in VERY last place.
-
Loaded with your players, it's a very highly ranked team. But I think 60 Games Out had the highest ceiling.
-
Does this mean that Dutch Ovens are favored this year since HOU has the highest predicted win total out of all those teams?
-
Needless to say, the other teams are SEVERELY gutted.
-
In my spare time, I loaded up our teams in MLB the Show 22 (they have extensive Minor League rosters, too). I set it to maximize regular season matchups between our teams PLUS give us a good chance for a World Series matchup. We break down like this: Tony Womack-BAL, 60 Games Out-BOS, Happenstance-TB, Obliquers-OAK, B-Team-SEA, Dutch Ovens-HOU, Kingery-LAA, Timmy Jim-CHC, Friar-CIN, One Flap-MIL, Ozuna-PIT, Swamp Dwellers-STL. All our teams are ranked high but I'm interested to see it play out!
-
Oooookay, Bauer is suing The Athletic. That's it for me.
-
I’m just going to wait for Bellinger to have a resurgent first half and trade him to one of you suckers and then break his legs!
