• Wait - there is an error in the trade that was accepted. I had added the $38 loan back to even out $. For some reason it didn't take in the offer

  Shohei's Bookie on March 14, 2025 12:13 AM

• Great job tonight, everyone. Brought 'er home in just under 3 hours. Don't forget the gimmick "opening day" is less than a week away. Get those lineups set!

  Electric Company on March 13, 2025 10:05 PM

• Reminder: Auction draft TONIGHT, 7p sharp (EDT). Be ready with your nomination que locked and loaded! No "pass" allowed. See you all in a few hours...

  Electric Company on March 13, 2025 9:23 AM

• Okay, new auction draft date set for Thursday, March 13 at 7p EDT. Hope that is final and works for all. Get those final cuts in tonight!

  Electric Company on January 31, 2025 9:01 PM

• Just a friendly reminder, cut and renewal deadline both tomorrow at midnight. We still have a few teams that need to be renewed, so don't forget! I will take a look at some alternative draft dates later today.

  Electric Company on January 30, 2025 10:26 AM

• Sorry for the delay. We were still nailing down our schedules because we are dealing with some work travel. Any way we could do the week before or the week after? 13th or 16th would be our preferred dates, but we understand if that’s a no go

  7th Inning Beer Run on January 28, 2025 9:19 PM

• With no word of any conflicts, I have scheduled our auction draft for the evening of Wednesday, March 5 at 7p EST. Make sure you have your team renewed and all of your cuts in by midnight this Friday.

  Electric Company on January 28, 2025 9:02 PM

• Happy 2025, everyone! The keeper deadline, along with the deadline to renew your team for the upcoming season (several teams pending) is a week from Friday, so be sure to get those details locked down and let's work on setting a draft date. The MLB regular season begins with the Gimmick Opening Day (in Japan) on March 18, so any day between Feb 1 and that date is up for consideration. Please sing out with any day/time conflicts/concerns and I will work to whittle down the options.

  Electric Company on January 22, 2025 2:29 PM

• I was starting to get worried everyone loved their team so much there would be no trades!

  SKnack Pack on January 17, 2025 8:50 AM

• Welcome back, Papi

  Hoo Lee Puk on November 20, 2024 11:06 AM

• Since nobody claimed my roster, I'm taking it back if you don't mind gentleman, lot of challenge in that squad

  Big Papi memories on November 19, 2024 11:35 PM

• Made my arbitrations but I don’t plan on returning. Best of luck everyone

  Do the chickens have large Taillons on November 7, 2024 10:01 PM

• Commish and owners, downsizing quite a bit from my crazy year depression where I was claiming every team or almost, thanks for the fun, but I got to slow down (time consuming and $$), please abandon my team Congrats to winners

  Big Papi memories on October 11, 2024 3:37 PM

• Interested in trading pitching for OF help

  Shohei's Bookie on March 21, 2024 3:29 PM

• Nice job tonight, everyone. Just over 3 hours with slight delayed start and a couple quick breaks. FA should be open. Please let me know if you have any trouble. Best wishes to all for a fun, competitive season.

  Electric Company on February 29, 2024 11:18 PM

• I’m on the west coast and have plans later, so I’d prefer no delay

  7th Inning Beer Run on February 29, 2024 5:01 PM

• Make sure you tell your hitters to go up there swinging. No working the count. Tell your pitchers there’s a pitch clock. Just like the pros

  Do the chickens have large Taillons on February 29, 2024 4:06 PM

• Any delay will be much appreciated. I'll do everything in my power to be online ASAP.

  Light That Baby Up on February 29, 2024 3:17 PM

• Would prefer to delay 10-15 minutes if we can. That could be a big difference, not just for Light It Up but for the whole league

  Do the chickens have large Taillons on February 29, 2024 2:41 PM

• Please note that it is possible to bid by phone or other portable device if that helps and I will gladly pause the draft for a few minutes while transitioning to computer. Just trying to think of potential workarounds if needed. Please let me know how I can help and I will do my best to make it a good draft for all.

  Electric Company on February 29, 2024 12:35 PM

• One final reminder, the Republic of Knowles auction draft is TONIGHT! We are scheduled for an 8 pm EST start, but have at least one competitor who will be a late arrival. We can delay the start for a few minutes if all agree, but I don't want to back it up too much in case anyone needs to get to bed for work or other commitments. Anyone joining late can jump right in (you will not be kicked out of the draft room for missing a nomination), but no "passes" will be permitted for anyone on

  Electric Company on February 29, 2024 12:33 PM

• Did we find a stand in for light that baby up?

  SKnack Pack on February 28, 2024 7:45 PM

• Reminder: The auction draft is tomorrow night, 8p EST! Please check to make sure you can access the Ottoneu draft room with no problems. (Some users have reported issues with certain browsers.) Also, it will be helpful to load your que in advance with players you wish to nominate. There will be no "passing" (as best I can help it), so be ready. Anyone who needs to join late can jump right in as soon as they enter the draft room (nobody will be "kicked out" for missing a nomin

  Electric Company on February 28, 2024 11:47 AM

• Can we get someone to sit in for the first 45?

  Do the chickens have large Taillons on February 25, 2024 10:30 PM

• I'll be 45 minutes late because I have little league responsibilities. My fault

  Light That Baby Up on February 25, 2024 10:19 PM

• Just a friendly reminder that the draft is only 5 days away! Look forward to seeing everyone in the always-unpredictable Ottoneu draft room Thursday night!

  Electric Company on February 24, 2024 11:07 AM

• February 29 good for me

  Do the chickens have large Taillons on February 20, 2024 12:44 PM

• Since everyone seems to be relatively flexible regarding a draft date, I have scheduled it for the evening of Thursday, February 29, because why not? Most other leagues will prolly forget it's a leap year, leaving this date for the taking. Please sing out if you have any objections. Otherwise, I look forward to seeing everyone in the Ottoneu draft room in just over a couple weeks!

  Electric Company on February 11, 2024 4:10 PM

• Yeah, still have two fingers with less sensation in the right hand and have to use Google a little more to help me sometimes when I'm looking for a song or movie (memory is less performant sometimes). So I hope you guys won't take advantage of me in trades....lol

  Big Papi memories on February 9, 2024 12:40 PM

• Papi, does this mean you're feeling better now?

  Do the chickens have large Taillons on February 9, 2024 12:20 PM

• My apologies, guys. Been out of the country with limited access to civilization, but I am back in the saddle and locked in. Please respond with any dates/times you are OUT for a potential auction draft and let's see if we can get something locked down. Important dates to keep in mind: Pitchers & Catchers report next week, Spring Training Exhibition play begins 2/22, and MLB Opening Day is Thursday, March 28.

  Electric Company on February 8, 2024 3:08 PM

• Can we abandon teams that are inactive? And when are we going to draft?

  Beane Counters on February 3, 2024 12:08 PM

• It has been taken care of. Support was able to get things squared away.

  Peninsula Oilers on January 31, 2024 11:38 PM

• Did you try sms? That worked for me except the cc kept thinking it was fraud so I have to approve then redo for every league lol

  SKnack Pack on January 31, 2024 10:32 PM

• I have been trying to pay for the last day. Paydala isn't sending the ID Verification email after I enter my CC #. I have reached out to support. We will see what they say.

  Peninsula Oilers on January 30, 2024 12:54 AM

• In case people have trouble I’ve found it doesn’t work well with Chrome

  Do the chickens have large Taillons on January 28, 2024 10:48 AM

• I believe there is some understandable disenchantment throughout the Ottoneu community with this new Paydala financial processor, which is leading many to question remaining in the game. We shall see what the coming days bring, but as of now it’s all systems go.

  Electric Company on January 28, 2024 9:36 AM

• Just checking in- haven't had a lot of trade responses. One team quit and didnt know if there was a replacement

  Do the chickens have large Taillons on January 27, 2024 4:53 PM

• Absolutely this league is still running this year. Why would it not be? Please be aware that the deadline for both renewing your team and finalizing keepers is just four days away (1/31). Any teams that do not renew will be automatically abandoned by Ottoneu and I have no doubt will be quickly claimed. New owners will get an opportunity to immediately make any cuts. Once we have 12 owners officially locked in, we will commence the process of deciding upon an auction draft date.

  Electric Company on January 27, 2024 3:53 PM

• Is this league still running this year?

  Do the chickens have large Taillons on January 27, 2024 12:52 PM

• Hey guys I’ve decided to move on from the league for various reasons. I let Electric Company know. Good luck to everyone!

  Peninsula Oilers on January 24, 2024 5:41 AM

• Anyone interested in holding Woodruff on IL for half the season?

  Light That Baby Up on January 16, 2024 10:10 PM

• We are still waiting on one new owner, but I am sure it will be filled in due time. For the rest of us, don't forget that only two days remain to complete Arbitration allocation. Please be sure to do that if you have not yet done so.

  Electric Company on November 12, 2023 7:53 PM

• So sorry to hear about your health challenge, Big Papi. Godspeed, friend.

  Electric Company on October 25, 2023 8:21 PM

• Please abandon this team. I was victim of a stroke on Sep 15, so I will have to quit my part time job losing my Ottoneu spending money, anyway don't have the same energy to manage so many leagues, will be quiting many leagues. Sorry to let you down guys, thanks.

  Soler Eclipses on October 22, 2023 12:38 PM

• Hello everyone--I made the decision not to renew. Wanted to let everyone know ASAP, so you can find a replacement for arb.

  Beane Counters on October 17, 2023 7:12 PM

• someone come take trea turner off my hands

  Big Papi memories on May 20, 2023 11:33 AM

• Trying to move the last of my players that I don't see in the future of my team. Trade Block is updated if anyone has any interest let me know.

  SKnack Pack on May 15, 2023 1:42 PM

• At the risk of sounding like a broken OPL record…any moves I make have to be completed by 9pm tonight to make sure my roster is set for the May 1st snap. I am looking for overpriced players you may not be keeping and/or players with multi positional eligibility. Reach out if interested.

  Peninsula Oilers on April 28, 2023 1:36 PM

• Will pair $2 Dominguez with $2 Kiriloff for an OPL move if anyone is interested in taking them on. Only interested in good MLB bats in return.
