• Oh my, I got ALL the pitchers

  Special OPS on August 5, 2020 2:45 PM

• 560 IP, you can find the maxes for IP’s and OF games at the bottom of the lineup page if you need a reminder in the future.

  CGT on August 5, 2020 1:27 PM

• Any idea what the inning limit is? Thanks

  Cornucopia GrainBelters pts on August 5, 2020 12:15 PM

• all kinds of scheduling changes cause of the outbreak with the Marlins, be mindful and adjust as needed.

  CGT on July 28, 2020 3:09 PM

• But look on the bright side. If MLB can head-in-the-sand its way into playing through 29 more of these, baseball will be pandemic-proof!

  The Raisin Paradox on July 27, 2020 3:25 PM

• And yet, not at all unsurprising. Hope they shut it down and then I hope people see how hard it’s to contain this thing with stringent testing and then think about what school will be like without testing.

  CGT on July 27, 2020 1:31 PM

• Thank you Rob! Good luck all. Underwhelming night last night, but baseball is back. :)

  Special OPS on July 24, 2020 2:35 PM

• So salary inflation will remain as usual, but we have all agreed to NOT participate in salary arbitration next year. Good luck this season and don't forget games start tonight. (2/2)

  CGT on July 23, 2020 1:22 PM

• It appears all refunds were processed in leaguesafe, thanks for all your help with that. As for the votes, no salary arbitration next offseason won by a majority receiving 7 votes. As for salary inflation, keeping it the same at +$2, +$1 got the plurality, although not the majority. The remaining 6 votes were split between the other 2 options. WIth that being the case, seems to make the most sense to keep it as is. (1/2)

  CGT on July 23, 2020 1:21 PM

• Walden 2 has all the catchers now...

  The Mighty Mighty Baztones on July 22, 2020 12:42 PM

• Check your emails about refunds, still need 4 of you to vote on survey please. Games start tomorrow, so start setting those lineups.

  CGT on July 21, 2020 1:23 PM

• Survey is up, please vote. In some cases we have 3 options and if a choice does not receive the majority (7), I may ask if the lowest voted upon option wishes to change their vote. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSegh2p_9TjaLrZQ9fwZreay_Lvk9663WgDN7CwA87rmAWWvnA/viewform?usp=sf_link

• One potential Arb system to reward those who place top 3 is: 1st gets $16, 2nd $14 3rd $13 and all others $11 (must spend at least $1 on every team).

  The Mighty Mighty Baztones on July 20, 2020 1:54 PM

• I'm good with whatever.

  Walden Two on July 20, 2020 11:13 AM

• I’m fine with the majority. Thanks.

  Cornucopia GrainBelters pts on July 20, 2020 8:52 AM

• Sent out an email to everyone, but we have a few things to decide on before the season starts. Discuss here or in the email chain, but the issues on hand are: Prize pool for this season, salary inflation, and salary arbitration for next offseason.

  CGT on July 20, 2020 1:17 AM

• So far I have two confirmed COVID cases on my team and two more “not at camp for undisclosed reasons.” No opt-outs yet but I’m sure they’re coming. 2020 sucks.

  The Raisin Paradox on July 10, 2020 2:26 PM

• I'm not sure there's enough space in the records books for how many asterisks the WS winner this year deserves

  CGT on July 2, 2020 8:26 PM

• Unless the Cubs win the WS, right?

  The Raisin Paradox on July 2, 2020 7:46 PM

• But my thoughts mostly boil down to this season is a glorified exhibition season and nothing should count :)

  CGT on July 2, 2020 3:11 PM

• sorry I haven't reached out yet, but I was going to propose that I just refund the extra $40 pay-in to everyone or I just keep it in leaguesafe and you're all paid up for next year. There's a bunch of links at the very top of the page on how they're handling the league this year in terms of the offseason and arbitration, read through those when you get a chance and we can talk. I'll hopefully have some time this weekend to put together my thoughts...

  CGT on July 2, 2020 3:10 PM

• I’m with Sky Riders

  Cornucopia GrainBelters pts on July 2, 2020 2:26 PM

• Thanks for starting the discussion. I’d go with refunding the fees and just playing for bragging rights. I’ve just about lost interest at this point...

  Sky Riders on July 2, 2020 12:25 PM

• I'd vote for bragging rights only for this little sprint. Especially as there's a non zero chance the league doesn't even get all the games in.

  Hearty Bradishes on July 2, 2020 11:53 AM

• So... does anybody have thoughts on whether we should continue with our usual fees this year in light of how screwy the season is? Refund entry fees and play for bragging rights this year, or go ahead with the regular fees/prizes and see what happens? I’m on the fence but figured I’d start the discussion.

  The Raisin Paradox on July 2, 2020 10:58 AM

• I think even in the days since Sale’s surgery it’s gotten less defensible for baseball players to get TJ surgery. I realize it’s a quick outpatient surgery and that these surgeons are unlikely to be on the front lines of Coronavirus treatment in any case. But I’m hearing that hospitals have started postponing organ transplants. If you’re telling people to wait on a new kidney, TJS can wait too. If nothing else it’s a bad look right now.

  The Raisin Paradox on March 26, 2020 6:33 AM

• Interesting take on Thor's surgery......hmmm.....

  Sky Riders on March 25, 2020 10:55 AM

• hadn't really thought about this...: "Florida has banned all nonessential surgeries. So how is Noah Syndergaard to have his elbow repaired there tomorrow? The answer: DOCTORS are the ones who define "essential" -- and this hospital said Tommy John for a baseball player counts."

  CGT on March 25, 2020 10:49 AM

• "TJ surgery for you, and TJ surgery for you...everyone gets TJ surgery!" Thor the latest victim, knocks $24 off Speedwagon's overall predicted value fwiw.

  CGT on March 24, 2020 4:47 PM

• They had Sale valued at $39, so it knocks Rhys to $418 predicted value. It probably would have been a fun run for 2nd place again this year.

  CGT on March 20, 2020 11:26 AM

• Sale is smart to do TMJ now ... it may be several months before there is baseball - if at all for 2020.

  Pinochle Jacks on March 20, 2020 8:02 AM

• Whoops, wrong league...kluber in this one :)

  The Mighty Mighty Baztones on March 19, 2020 7:52 PM

• I hear Snell has a perfectly fine elbow....

  The Mighty Mighty Baztones on March 19, 2020 7:51 PM

• Welp, there goes a big chunk of my surplus calculator value. Knew it was a risk, thought the price was fair. Also, am now in the trade market for SP.

  The Raisin Paradox on March 19, 2020 7:38 PM

• sorry Chris Sale owner :(

  CGT on March 19, 2020 6:12 PM
