Trivia time! There is now one pitcher in the history of the game to record two starts with five HR allowed and three IP or less... fun times. These two Greene disasters bookend three guys named Eovaldi, Cole, and Joe Ryan so good company I guess?

Interesting that Andrew Painter got more expensive after just getting Tommy John.
-
Ha, too embarrassed to keep him after that 😉
-
Kevin, be honest, you dropped TA after watching him get smoked by my man José Ramírez last night... guys, you didn't even need to buy the Jake Paul fight, just flip on Guards-White Sox. Hit him so hard he knocked him out of the lineup Sunday.

Note quite Juan Soto to the Padres, but an interesting MLB trade deadline nonetheless. As is splayed across the top of our league page in lovely Marlins teal, our own ottoneu trade deadline is 8/31 and so we have about a month's time to resolve, react, and so forth. Keep up the good work, all, this has been an action-packed few weeks on the transactions front from you lot.

potential is more exciting than known qualities

Trout was a $47 player last year, even losing 40 games to weird bullshit like "ribcage inflammation." I guess Joe was the only one smart enough to go get it?
-
Very nice touch with your own personal prayer for serenity Joe... Hope you all enjoyed a reasonably competitive ASG and legacy-establishing HR Derby. There's enough GLs below that I need not repeat it, keep up on your rosters and fight the good fight. Hell of a scrum this year!

Is Elly also going to close games for the Reds? A reverse Ohtani of sorts would be cool...

While there's nothing I can do about ceding the potentially useful Nick Anderson to Kevin (of which, this now all seems more like the clever ruse by a savvy player, eh?), I did remove the cap penalty as previously promised. Harry, please let us know once Niv has added the retired Orlando Magic Nick Anderson to the pool so we can place bids for his services as well (whose proper name is Nelison, apparently, and would ruin everything if listed as such).
-
It appears I bid on the wrong Anderson fml
-
Ideal height for a starting pitcher, could be some Julio Franco energy there... I say go for it and ask Niv to add him to the database, we all got edges to grind (some of us more than others, looking at the standings).
-
Can I nominate mid 90s Orlando Magic forward Nick Anderson?
-
Some of you may have noticed there are two Nick Andersons up for auction, one understandable and the other questionable. The person who fat fingered that auction of the latter has asked if I can remove the cap penalty once that auction is completed, and I will unless there is some considerable opposition to doing so. Posting here for the record and to avail you all of any shenanigans once I do so.
-
...and they did at least let him throw 100 pitches, so kudos I guess?
-
Whatever they did to re-attach it, then, please do to mine so I can throw 103 mph! Or is that only predicated on my arm actually falling off, first, probably?
-
except that he has had his arm fall off from injury already
-
What the A's did tonight to Mason Miller was so disappointing... go ahead and pull old guys like Kershaw from no hit bids, but let the kid fucking go for it!
-
Flipped that game on to make sure I caught his lead off AB. Ump was even excited for it, gave him an extra strike. He'll find his level, though no surprise if it might take him a bit.

After just 565 days, im happy to have El Nino back. No matter where you fall on the like/hate scale, it's good for baseball!
-
Guys, I'm really serious this time, quit it with the Pedro Cerrano shit already, okay? I'll bet it's you Joe... if we were to check your search history or Amazon purchases we'd totally find a little Kenta Maeda jersey, right?
-
Well absolutely none of that went the way I anticipated today ughhh. Guess I didn’t expect everyone’s spending spree.
-
At least you didn’t pick Johnny Brito. Thanks everyone for not outbidding me on him lol
-
Serious question: which one of you is sitting there with little dolls of my pitchers, sticking pins in 'em all over?
-
Thanks. Hopefully the team’s performance will matching the quality of it’s name.
-
Strangers With Yandy is an excellent team name, btw. Good work Harry, second best team name in the Firehouse, tenth of a point deduction for lacking a Tim Tebow reference.
-
If you haven't, go peep the Druw Jones catch. It was nuts. Willie Mays-esque!
-
They should make Megan the mascot
-
NGL Megan Thee Stallion got a better arm than 50 Cent... Russ, did they make Hensley catch her bc he's a friggin' tree and they didn't want to make any player look short? They should have let Altuve do it. And IDK who needs to hear this but Roger Clemens is pretty good with commentary.
-
Happy Opening Day to you all! Hope springs eternal, for the Gales and I'd imagine the rest of you as well. First pitch is about an hour away so make sure your lineups are set, which I'd bet they are as we all have been making like Rogers Hornsby and waiting for this day. Good luck, it's a marathon, try not to cramp up. And special shout out to my two other fellow owners for whom this is the tenth go 'round.

the gales were a little known team entering that summer of 23, but by the end of that season, those gales, those guys were the talk of the town ...

Terrible injuries aside, the WBC was lit. Ohtani v Trout to seal the deal was aces. Looking forward to this again in 2026.

WBC are you kidding me? Diaz out for the year on a celebration...c'mon now.

Someone trade me a good closer for one of my bad players thx

Thanks for the heads up, Russ, hope to see you there.

Hi, all. I’ve had a family obligation come up that might bleed into the draft. Please start without me if I’m not there right at start time but I do intend to jump in as soon as I can!
-
Just a quick note that the auction draft is tomorrow at 1pm ET, of which I'm sure none of you need a reminder and are champing at the bit. I will "Email the League" as well for those of you who don't get the league message board post notifications, and hope to see you all tomorrow afternoon. I'm sure it's a good sign that I'm rostering three injured pitchers already, right?
-
Good work, all, even got one last trade in there under the deadline. Seems Mar 4 works for the draft auction, so see you all in a little over four weeks. Enjoy Mardi Gras, the start of Spring Training, and the Super Bowl if you are so inclined. I hear some Brady guy retired or something?

So, we're less than two hours away from the penalty free cuts deadline and there are still four teams that do not have legal rosters (note that you need to be able to spend at least one dollar on each player short of 40). That does include my own, so... uh, yeah, I'm around. You can always make cuts with a penalty after Jan 31, if that's an option that appeals.
Tebow Forever on

I should also probably say there's about 29 hours left to make penalty free cuts, and thanks to most of you for having renewed your teams well in advance of the deadline (there's one of you who has not, please get that taken care of so your team doesn't show up on the 'Expired' page).

Thanks, everyone, for your input. Looks like, if I'm reading the room correctly, that Mar 4 is the preferred work around. I've set is as such, and of course say so if it's not going to work for you (though, unless we want to consider a pre-ST auction, this will continue to push us further into March and peak draft szn, and more time the Firehouse will be on ice).

I can’t do 2/26 unless it’s 9 pm (est) or later. On call at the hospital that weekend and no way to get out of it.
-
Traditionally we've largely done Saturday drafts, but perhaps we'll find some utility in shifting that this year. Can everyone do Sunday 2/26 around the same time (or a bit later in the day, if that is a stumbling block)?

2/18, 3/4, and 3/25 should all be good with me.
-
I am also pretty flexible given enough advance notice. Would rather do it earlier than later as well.
-
2/18, 3/4 or 3/25 all work for me
-
I am usually pretty flexible but 100% I can’t do those days this time. If y’all wanna proceed without me it’s cool as long as someone trades me an sp1 for the odds and ends left in my roster
