Im fine with it WTF. Will present it to the league for a vote. Aside from a majority to make the change we should be sensitive to any "NO" votes. If it presents a real problem for anybody please feel free to direct message me if you prefer to keep your thoughts anonymous to the league. We have a great group here and don't want a proposed change to disrupt that!

Any interest in inflating this to a $100 league.
-
I thought everyone already had enough inflation in their real lives so I didn't want to pile on here. Actually thought arb deadline was Dec 15 for some reason. Early Christmas gift for everyone. Sorry for missing it. Won't miss my cut deadline, putting that reminder in my calendar now.
-
Great to see all the arbitration activity. Looks like everybody already participated other than Stranglers. Scranton you still have a couple hours to get those dollars in! See you all on the other side and have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Appreciate that WTF. Enjoy your offseason as well and I may come to you for some of that pitching!
-
None of the moves were illegal. Your roster was illegal. I've been in 5 leagues last 2 years and 3 of them have had the commish with an illegal roster after season ended. Had to quit one after being top 3 last year because the commish played games. Sorry to lump you in with that shit. Don't want to have to find another league. My standards are too high for commissioners so I'll work on that. Have a great off-season everyone. I'm going to need to move some pitching when we get to trade season.
-
I absolutely did not make any illegal moves. No idea what you're talking about. And I must have missed the polite part of, "Had same shit happen last year in another league." What kind of "shit" did I pull? Somebody nominated players and I bid on them with cash well within my budget.
-
Dude, get off it. You won the league. You made an illegal move and it came like 20 minutes before the season ended. People asked you to make the corresponding cuts. No one said you should be penalized or that you were trying to get away with something or anything. They just asked you, politely, to make the necessary cuts. I would just be enjoying my win rather than getting all pussyaching about nothing, but that's just me

WTF your comments less than 24 hours apart are ridiculous. Did you think I was trying to get away with my $6 Michael Lorenzen and my $9 ERod? Lol

Nobody said anything other than asking you to make the cuts. Now you did

Wow. No warm and fuzzies happening around here. Sometimes it pays to give people that have never even bent the rules over many years the benefit of the doubt. The fact is nobody would have been able to immediately make cuts on those last two adds. The system was locked Wednesday night. Why? I don't know, but I do know this was the case because I logged in for the sole purpose of making those cuts.
-
Was talking about Casas. Seems like Commish should have a legal roster IMO.

Sorry, I misread that

There’s nothing illegal on my roster. You have to be legal on the last day and I was

CC when you going to make your Roster legal?
-
That seems like the right thing to do to me. Had same shit happen last year in another league.
-
Congrats to the money teams. Point of order: those last two pickups with no cuts were illegal according to our rules, yes? My understanding is that we don’t allow teams to grab players at the end of the year and have an illegal roster, right? If so, there should have been two cuts to correspond with the Carlson and Frelick pickups

Well, at least in recent years. Of course when Ottoneu was still early days there were far fewer teams!
-
JaBO has a chance to do something today that may have never been done before in Ottoneu. There are well over 1,500 teams playing this format and we currently have 3 ranked in the top 50 global leaderboards. Go JaBO and best of luck WTF and TDITD!

Elly & Grissom….big bucks being spent lately.

The slider is very effective against batters with a high leg-kick. Changeups are great against hitters with a high launch angle. Now pitch selection/calling is even more random, you can get the best hitter out by throwing 7 straight sliders. Albeit it isn't efficient for pitch counts, but it drastically reduces the best opposing hitter.
-
I love MLB because of the randomness, and the elite skills required to even play in a bench-role. The book isn't written on Baseball yet like Chess, Football, and basketball. Still new moves and strategies have been discovered in recent history that has really given a lot of advantages to pitchers instead of the hitters.
-
Bar none, MLB pitching and the game itself, pitchers have to have some advantage. Free of PED, amphetamines, and sunscreen, Manfred "unjuiced" the ball or whatever god knows what modification. For the sake of argument, let's assume the ball isn't juiced, and hitters are suffering the hangovers of steroid-era built stadiums; pitchers plus data-back defensive shifts have too much of an advantage.
-
Classic solution is to lower the mound a bit, but that can drastically affect pitchers who are not 6'4".
If the average throwing velocity reaches 95mph, may have to move the mound back beyond the 60'6" mark. History has proven these tweaks brought some balance to the game.
-
Not sure there’s a good solution to “the pitchers are too good” unless you Harrison Bergeron the fuck out of them

That’s…a lot of change you’re proposing there. I’m not sure I agree with the premise that the shift is causing hitters to hunt home runs. The increase in TTO preceded widespread use of the shift

thought i made the cutoff *afic = aficionados. I didn't have text reserves for "real baseball fans"...
-
I grow weary of Manfred tinkering with the ball to produce game-neutrality or balance etc.
-
Why the change? Because defensive shifts are momentum-killers especially two-out situations. Thus why batters have elected to swing for the fences than hit into a known-out.
Having said that, if a team with 0 outs turn a double play and reach 2 outs. The defensive team can not alter their shift, or remain neutral. Like defensive zoning rules. This enables some game theory elements for baseball. This 2 out-no shift rule needs some tinkering, thought I crowd-source this one from afic
-
I'm posting here first, not letting Manfred getting a whiff on my ideas to improve MLB. He's the commissioner and he hates baseball. Need feedback though.
Bring in the fences especially centerfield 15-20 feet pending altitudes and climates.
Reduce the fences so OF'ers with athleticism and speed can chase down the outs in homerun territories, however if they fail to catch the ball it is an automatic HR.

Ha. CM churning out the 80 grade team names.

Gotta love it when you have your first 200 pt day in a while and don't move a single spot in the standings. This season has been GREAT.

https://chng.it/5YsRdScKVN --> Rob Manfred sucks. Dead ball.
-
I hope everyone had a great Opening Day!

LA Dodgers went Boom with Freddie Freeman. And the A's do not like contending.

I need some OF help if anyone is looking to deal

Just a heads up, my daughter had a last minute soccer game scheduled for tomorrow at the exact same time as our draft...and of course it's out of town, so I will be on the road. I plan on drafting, but I will be on my phone. I will do my very best to make sure I make all my noms, but please bear with me. Thanks in advance!
-
Yes! Just in time. Hopefully we’ll learn about some big free agent signings before the draft starts.
-
I'm so glad we are going to have baseball!! Looking forward to this season. See you all at the draft!

Hey all - Figured I'd share a reminder in case you're like me and haven't been thinking much about baseball lately. The draft is this weekend! Looking forward to seeing you in the draft room Saturday at 3pm EST.
-
Friendly reminder the deadline to cut any players ahead of the auction is tomorrow at 11:59 PM EST!

Thanks all that have voted. It looks very much like Saturday, March 12 will be our date. I will pencil it in for 3pm ET / noon PT since this is the most optimal time for everybody at this point. If nobody has any conflicts with this, we can finalize it this weekend.

VOTE: https://doodle.com/poll/ti9c8uqae9txe3rp?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link
It's always a challenge to get all 12 managers calendars aligned, so please, please try to be as flexible as you possibly can with your availability. Will confirm date and time by the end of this weekend so that we all can plan accordingly. Thank you!
-
Hey all - Good news! Everybody here is paid through 1/2023. Now we just need an auction date and, of course, an end to the lockout! I will drop a Doodle link here in just a moment with 3 options for dates, each date will include 3 different options for start times (noon ET/9AM PT, 3PM ET/noon PT and 6PM ET/3PM PT).
-
Always good to hear other points of views and perspectives. Thanks guys.

Id echo YJ's sentiments. Seems totally reasonable to me. Ohtani is polarizing in how people value him so it's understandable some might disagree on whether it's lopsided in either direction. These are two experienced managers though, so the key for me is there clearly was no collusion.

I have a personal preference, as I’m sure anyone would, but it seems eminently reasonable to me in both directions

Wow. The Ohtani trade seems rather lopsided even for an MVP. Would love to hear other opinions outside of the trading teams and outside my own to consider other points of view.
