Ridic, if you really are leaving the league, thanks for being a great owner over the years! Will be sad to see you go, and I hope we can convince you to change your mind. I for one will not bid on Corbin Burnes out of solidarity.

Baseball is actually going to happen! Lockout is over!

Great rule commish! I will never miss a deadline again!

I think this was handled perfectly, Burnes penalty is harsh and is the perfect warning sign for future offenders… hate to have an original owner leave but this was great demonstration of democracy

Ridic. Quit being a little bitch. You are acting like a child. You said that this $100 league isnt high stakes enough for you to spend the 15 min needed to drop your players before the deadline but as soon as you dont get your way you are ready to quit the league and ask for a refund. I thought you didnt give a shit about the $100.

Thank you for handling this, commish

I’ll be requesting a refund. Prepare to add another team. Thanks for all The years
-
Thanks everyone for voting. 9 of 10 people voted for removing someone from Ridic’s team, and Corbin burns was the player with the most votes. Sorry Ridic. I will make this change and going forward this will be the penalty for anyone who misses the cut deadline for any reason. Also almost everyone voted for a post lockout draft, so guess we’ll be dormant until late 2022 or beyond!

Here is a poll for the league to vote on the penalty for Ridiculous. You have two options: 1) remove one player from his current roster or 2) force him to keep one of the players that he just cut. Regardless of your choice, please put the player name for each of the two options in the form response.
Additionally, I included a question to take a quick pulse of whether you all would like to do the draft pre or post lockout. Please also respond to that question. Polling closes on F

Ridic can you just post your cuts so we can move past this and debate the "penalty" after your roster is mostly set.

Very well put Gatorwade, put three resolution propositions to a poll, let's vote so we can resolve this and get back to praying for baseball all twelve of us together as a fun league.

I agree we need to come up with something as a committee. This is not fair to Coco .. let’s say commish takes no action, allows the site to handle it how things are , what’s our solution then? Without another solution presented, it’s hard to not consider the potential burns penalty (or allow ridic 3 “can’t cut” players after making cuts)

need to remain fair, fun, and competitive. Exceptions are part of any committee strategic objectives and we need to work together to take reasonable corrective action within an expedited timeframe to finalize this event.

Blizzard I appreciate the advocacy and back and forth between committee members as I view us. As Ridic indicated we have a governance structure that has resulted in years of competitive fairness. I am sure Ridic is being cautious and does not want to rush in making any more possible exceptions. We need a poll with a vote on what is reasonable and then a timeframe with corresponding commitment to take that action, quickly. I enjoy the discussions and rules changes over the years as all leagues

Keep deflecting that you've done this 3X. Now 9 messages with no cuts and counting...

Because you can’t just make up rules on the fly. What happened to SPH when he missed the cut? You seem to have all the answers Blizzard, enlighten me

Lol glad you two appreciate each other. It's adorable and all. On the other hand, since A-Fraud took the time to remind everybody of the deadline on cut day, well over a week ago now (Feb 15), Ridic has taken the time to post 8 messages here and none of them have included his cuts. Somebody please help me understand what's happening here bc I'm at a loss. What exactly are we waiting for?

I appreciate you Gator. I’m not trying to screw anybody here, it won’t happen again

Finally ill have a chance at Burnes again!! Haha. I say no penalty at this point. I don’t see a competitive advantage right now so i don’t mind just posting your drop guys and move on. Just don’t do it again next year!! Haha

I say player voted off of Redic should be added to my to my team
-
Nobody is leaving the league, and hopefully we can avoid this devolving into throwing insults about people's mothers like the last time we had an issue. Ridic - can you just post the guys you want to cut here and I will take them off of your team? Then I will set up a poll where the league can vote one other guy off of your team and we can move past this.
-
I love this league, I just don’t give a shit enough to spend all this time going back and forth with you Blizzard, just not worth it. I was literally 45 min late to cut my guys because of a sick kid, In no way am I cheating or have ever thought to cheat this league. I am happy to request a refund and bail out. Coco I’m really sorry you have to deal with this AGAIN because of me

Literally leaving them with no response for months at a time. As for SPH, that was a completely different set of circumstances. That was the only time he's missed a deadline and he had not logged into the site for months. RIDICULOUS literally logs into the site on cut day and doesn't cut his players -- multiple times! It's either cheating or like he said, not giving a shit about the league.
-
The irony of team RIDICULOUS, who can't seem follow the basic rules preaching to me (who has always respected the rules) about staying in my lane! You don't need to keep telling us you don't give a shit about this league, you prove every opportunity you get by not only missing the keeper deadline 3x now, but several other owners here that have been silent up to this point also complain you never respond to any trade offers.
-
I second that Gator. Smelly Pirate was literally lost at sea once

I can tell you from experience since we started this league I’ve been late to drafts, arbitration…life gets in the way and everyone has been warm. We are very blessed to have a nice little family here over all of these years and have all been treated fairly with no one out for competitive advantage during off-season. Especially one that is on a lock-out. I think we just let Redic cut his players by Wednesday midnight.

Agreed. I think that's reasonable. Since we're already 8 days beyond the cut deadline, I suggest we get the names to be cut here in the league message board *ASAP* before more news comes out that makes waiting longer a bigger advantage (MLB rule changes, injuries, signings, trades, etc).
-
An additional cut from us the owners after he does his cuts is an excellent proposal and compromise IMO. Thanks for my Rendon booboo
Mercury Lounge on
February 22, 2022 1:34 PM

Additionally, Big Papi Memories currently has an illegal roster because of a trade he made that was finalized before the trade deadline. He signaled to me immediately after the trade was finalized that he thought he would be able to cut Rendon, but that was not the case. This appears to be an honest mistake and I am going to allow him to drop Rendon without penalty.
-
Sheriff, that is an interesting proposal but way too much effort.
I think SPH's idea of allowing Ridic to cut his roster down to its final size and then the league can vote on *one* additional player that is cut.
-
How about redic gets to "protect" 5 players on his team and the bottom 6 teams have the option of drafting 1 unprotected player from him in reverse order of standings.
-
Hi all, sorry for the late reply, I just got back from a vacation. End goal: I don't think we want to lose any owners, especially two as good as Ridic and Blizz. Regardless of whether or not Ridic was being nefarious in his cutting strategy (my money is on he was not), I also see Blizzard's point that this is a recurring theme. Can we agree on some kind of a penalty that is not "Ridiculous cannot participate in the draft"?
-
Let's everybody just calm down. Ridic has been in the league for damn near decade. Let's wait on Coco.

I do think its a little ridiculous that THE REDICULOUS always waits until the last minute to cut his players and then something comes up and he doesn't do it on time. Why is he always waiting until the last day to do this? Why not just do it a week early like I did if there is no advantage of waiting like he says. Since THE REDICULOUS got his way last year, I vote for BLIZZARD of OZ to get his way this year.
-
I'd be flexible on whether we stick to the written rules of no cuts after the keeper deadline and the auction or something in between as suggested by SPH have the league cut x number of the most valued players from his roster and placed in the auction pool (ironically this is something another owner here in this league told me is happening in one of their other leagues). But there HAS to be some kind of penalty that makes it not worth breaking the rules.
-
It's absolutely an advantage to know who all the players in the auction pool are before making cut decisions. We lost an owner the second time this happened and we're going to lose one if not more again if this 'shit happens' narrative plays out again where an owner gets a competitive advantage for breaking the rules.
-
I hear you SPH, but what happened to you just once and what has now been the case with Ridic 3x are VERY different. You were lost at sea and hadn't logged into Ottoneu for what 2 months? Ridic keeps logging in literally the day of the keeper deadline, watching who gets cut, lets the deadline pass and waits for his free pass from Coco to make cuts on a date after everybody else. If this repeated behavior is not blatant cheating, at a bare minimum it's extremely suspicious.
-
Having been there before,`shit happens and I've got no problem with Ridic making his cuts now. If people want their pound of flesh, I suppose we could do something like allowing the 3 lowest ranked teams to pick 1 additional player each he has to cut from his roster after making his first cuts as a competitive balance kind of thing, but I don't think that's necessary.
-
Wow that’s quite the active league. Multiple people have missed in my other leagues, it happens. It wasn’t malicious and I don’t get any advantage, just had a sick kid last night. I will take the hits and see what happens if that’s what is needed

Sorry Ridiculo. I don't mean to be a hardass and I obviously have nothing against you personally. But I just scrolled through the message board and see while you're right it's not 3 in a row, it is the 3rd time since I've been in this league that you've missed the keeper deadline. The other league here I've commissioned for about 6 years and played in for I think 8 has never had a single team miss any keeper deadline.
-
Sorry everyone, was dealing with a sick kid last night and didn’t get my cuts in again. That’s 2 years in a row Blizzard. Not sure if I could even field a team taking the cap hits on cuts. Let me know what y’all want to do. Sorry to put this on you commish
