Ozzie you’re next😉
-
Time for the trade to the Dodgers…and .300 avg the rest of the way and 30-30 etc. ughh. Tired of over priced under performers.
-
I need an OF too😅
-
looking for another OF if anyone is interested in a move feel free to shoot us over a message. pitching and corner IF to spare.
-
Also re GP cap, so long as the player appears in the game then it will count against your cap... so, if you forget to bench Will Smith when Barnes gets the start and Smith later appears only as a defensive sub it will count against your cap, even if Smith never gets a PA.
-
Jumping the gun just a bit to note we are about 1/4 of the way in (insert lewd joke here) and I hope you are all enjoying the standings dogfight that has progressed to this point. Love the effort, keep it up, and those on the sidelines maybe poke your head up now and then if you will. Congrats to Joe on his May 11th championship trophy, always celebrate while you can, it's the zeitgeist.
-
If he is in the lineup, yes.
-
If you have a catcher that doesnt start a game but comes in for like a pinch hit at bat one time at the end of a game -- does that count towards your games played cap?

I will address one point on trades, and will credit Tony in noting that there is a big difference b/w being "open" to trades and offers and actually making said things happen... if you're waiting for the former, you might be waiting forever. Usually Kevin is out here doing the Lord's work on that front, though has been a bit quiet this campaign (I'm sure we just need to give him some time, is all), and more of you might want to take a page from that book.
-
Happy Jackie Robinson Day to the assembled! We're 10% of the way in, plenty of time to fix up your roster and make a run at the money (thankfully for me and my squad's lackluster hitting). Really enjoy the passion on display on the message board, not sure we've had that much activity in such a short period... ever, frankly. Keep it up, as you can, and hopefully we will see all the things thaw as we move through Spring.
-
This value really makes us look bad giving up Santana and teoscar in the same deal. Ohtani would have been a nice sweetener in that (kidding)
-
Oh I understand that. I’ve been in the same boat trying to trade for closers. Not getting much back in that front either.
-
We are also open to trades. Not tanking, willing to give value if receiving it back.
-
surplus value is great for dynasty obviously but there is no way I hold first all year with 3 saves, so that value has diminishing returns

I mean not wrong. Merrill is literally a dawg. For $13 especially
-
I understand, but it is kinda presumptuous to throw out something like that and not consider that I reached out to multiple owners about closer trade availability and got exactly 1 actionable item. No one wants to do a trade with any reigning champ or top team less than I (a not fully in-recovery hater) do

I’m just saying we’re all fighting a losing battle here if we’re giving Chris this kind of surplus value. He already has a stacked team.
-
I been sitting here trying to get the short end of the stick or trying to make team worse or both. I will switch it up now

Damn I never thought about trying to get better value you are so, so right

I would think you could get at least get Hader back for Jackson Merrill…gotta hold out for a little more value guys.
-
Also I’m not a fan of having to log in to get to messages to trade talk. My cell is 678-640-1653 for trade discussions . Feel free to text me

Helsley certainly on the block if that’s the caliber player he can pull! Wow
-
Man the trade value for closers in this league is bonkers
-
Welcome to the league Adam. Best of luck
-
Just a quick note that Regression to the Means now has a co-owner, please welcome Adam to the Firehouse. Good luck, hope everyone is enjoying the new season while we wait and see who loses first, the Dodgers or the Padres... potentially presumptuous of me to assume the Dodgers ever lose again.
-
Love having half my middle infield on the IL before April 1.
-
Happy Opening Day everyone! Pretty sure everyone here celebrates... lineup locks will begin for the first first pitch @ 2:55pm ET so be sure to get in and get them set if you haven't already. Good luck to everyone, the day has finally arrived so let's get the party started.

Commissioners: I didn't mean to cut gorman and now I am illegal. can you help out or nah? I literally just did it, I was looking at his stats and woof but I saw that it said roster would not be valid but my finger slipped or something idk
-
Give it time my man, give it time…or maybe I’m turning over a new leaf 😉
-
Kevin, look out! Harry is giving you a run for your money... this is how you wheel and deal, kids. Also here to say the Tokyo Series is almost upon us, get your Dodgers and Cubs in your lineups if you want those stats ahead of the early AM Tues/Wed games. From there, only a week-ish til Opening Day!

Looks like we are off and running! Just a quick note that, even though last year's standings are still displayed on the Standings page, the current tiebreak for auctions is a coin flip. We won't be on to standings-based tiebreakers until games are played to establish an order (which begins with the Tokyo Series in the early morning hours stateside 3/18).

Just a quick note to remind you all we’re less than 24 hours away from kicking off what will be the improbable 12th season of Firehouse Roto. Please let me know of any last minute cancellations, otherwise see you all there tomorrow.

Chris we are good with 02.26 thanks for being flexible.
-
2/26 @ 8pm. Great. It's booked!

Good for me

Thanks, all; I've pushed the draft to Wednesday night, of that same week @ 8pm (2/26). If we need to move it back into March that is fine too, just post up here to let everyone know and we'll figure it out. If I don't hear from anyone by... let's say Tuesday night, then consider it locked in.

I cannot do Mondays for next few weeks.

I’d vote for Sunday the 23rd as is, or Monday 24th
-
If we’re doing the week of 2/24, I can’t do Tuesday 2/25 or Thursday 2/27.
-
maybe sometime week of 02.24 at the same time? definitely can be flexible with weekday or weekend.
-
For those interested, we did 113 auctions in one hour and 22 minutes (~43.5 seconds per auction) last year; this accorded with what we'd seen in recent years. This year we have 145 open roster slots so the total auction time will likely run a bit longer, maybe up to around two hours if we keep the traditional pace.

That goes for everyone btw; if a weekday evening or weekend daytime draft is better for you then say so and we'll try to make it work. The placeholder choice was largely to get the league year open and its proximity to the beginning of ST games, and personal fiat. There's also the Tokyo Series to consider, with the first games b/w Dodgers-Cubs beginning on March 18th (Opening Day proper is Thursday March 27th).

Thanks, Kyle; propose a date and time, we'll see if we can make that work. If you're fine with new Kyle taking the reins, we'll keep the current date. Either way, pipe up here and we'll get something locked in.

I will be traveling on the 23rd and likely can’t draft. If everyone else is good on that day, I am sure my co owner can handle the draft but figured I would throw it out there.
-
Everyone has been in since the 8pm ET Sunday Feb 23 draft date/time was floated, but let’s give a couple more days for protests or objections. If we don’t hear from anyone by Wednesday night, then let’s consider it locked in.

Where are we at with this draft date and time? can I lock it in?
