• 830 would be great for me as well

  Rose in the Front 🌹 on February 18, 2020 6:15 PM

• 8:15 would be better for me too (kids go down about 7:45) so this will give me some wiggle room (read pour a drink time). Don't change the draft time on the website, just don't start until everyone is present.

  Skubal Do-Baddoo on February 18, 2020 4:46 PM

• Anyway we can do like 8.15 or 8.30?

  TTBNL on February 18, 2020 4:36 PM

• 👍

  The Syndicate 💣 on February 17, 2020 7:10 PM

• That time works for me

  Little Red Birds on February 17, 2020 7:55 AM

• Yes for the Eckfords!

  Eckfords ⚾ on February 17, 2020 7:42 AM

• OK, it's draft week! Can everyone please confirm that the set draft time of Wednesday at 8 PM EST is still a go for them? You can PM me.

  Caimans 🐊 on February 17, 2020 12:14 AM

• Sure. The trick, of course, is finding a matchup that works.

  Eckfords ⚾ on January 31, 2020 2:00 PM

• Anyone up for talking trades on deadline day?

  Rose in the Front 🌹 on January 31, 2020 12:58 PM

• Reminder: If you make a trade today, it will not process until after the cut deadline, so you must keep all players received. Only trade for players you intend to keep.

  Caimans 🐊 on January 31, 2020 7:56 AM

• Huzzah!!

  Eckfords ⚾ on January 21, 2020 8:20 AM

• The draft day is set! Gentlemen, start your engines on: Wednesday, February 19 at 8:00 PM EST.

  Caimans 🐊 on January 21, 2020 7:57 AM

• I have updated the league constitution to include all custom rules, including those adopted this off-season. The constitution, and some interesting historical records, can be found here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Dav26vZHLG35eP2l5RA4TZfB2994X2t20TStDVKLGSo/edit#gid=651664547 This link has also been placed under the League Settings page (ottoneu.fangraphs.com/52/settings) in the "description" box.

  Caimans 🐊 on January 20, 2020 6:55 PM

• Please submit your feedback on draft date options by the end of this weekend if you have not already done so.

  Caimans 🐊 on January 15, 2020 11:42 PM

• Yo, League! Go vote on draft day options at the Doodle poll!

  Caimans 🐊 on January 11, 2020 11:43 PM

• Help schedule the draft by taking the Doodle poll (times listed for Eastern time zone): https://doodle.com/poll/vnkipiuff4f99dnf

  Caimans 🐊 on January 9, 2020 11:24 PM

• Happy New Year, everyone! It's time to start our discussion about the 2020 draft date. Please head over to the Bull Durham Slack channel to join the discussion.

  Caimans 🐊 on January 5, 2020 9:00 PM

• Bumgarner for Clase. Getting about as close to real life maneuvers as we can, I guess.

  Caimans 🐊 on December 15, 2019 10:47 PM

• Entertaining offers for Springer, shoot me an offer if interested

  Chattanooga Ringtails 🦝 on December 11, 2019 12:37 PM

• Looking for a minor deal, let me know if you are also bored but don't want to give up one of your studs.

  Skubal Do-Baddoo on December 5, 2019 10:53 AM

• You already have one...

  Eckfords ⚾ on November 17, 2019 12:16 PM

• Hey Sunflower, trade me Michael Conforto so I can start an All-Mike outfield!

  Caimans 🐊 on November 17, 2019 12:01 AM

• Welcome to Bull Durham, Matt!

  Caimans 🐊 on October 13, 2019 4:21 PM

• We have an incoming owner taking over the Bleacher Bums, leaving only House Targaryen to be replaced. Almost back to a full slate!

  Caimans 🐊 on October 3, 2019 12:11 AM

• Will, you might. I'm pretty sure that is the case for at least our league channel. It might be for the Ottoneu group as well. Once you create a Slack username (if you don't already have one), let me know what it is and I can send an invitation.

  Caimans 🐊 on October 2, 2019 9:24 AM

• Do we need an invite to join the slack community?

  Little Red Birds on October 2, 2019 2:51 AM

• The Slack group is called 52_bulldurham. If you need an invitation, let me know your Slack username.

  Caimans 🐊 on October 2, 2019 12:41 AM

• I would like to begin an off-season discussion of some proposed rule changes and clarifications. This would best be done on Slack, but not everyone is in our Slack group yet. I know the Eckfords are technophobic, and maybe some others don't care for Slack, but can everyone join the Slack group to facilitate this? A discussion via this message board would be possible but very cumbersome.

  Caimans 🐊 on October 2, 2019 12:38 AM

• So long, Trey. One gift that Trey has left us is an extensive record of league history. You can review custom league rules, past years' standings, league records, and arbitration history here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Dav26vZHLG35eP2l5RA4TZfB2994X2t20TStDVKLGSo/edit#gid=1418695815

  Caimans 🐊 on October 1, 2019 11:08 AM

• Gentlemen, it’s been a pleasure. I wish you all the best as you take this league for the next ten years. Appreciate the opportunity to play with such fine folks.

  TTBNL on October 1, 2019 10:11 AM

• The league has voted to remove Mike as owner of the Bleacher Bums. My search for a replacement owner is underway.

  Caimans 🐊 on September 30, 2019 1:57 PM

• HBP (hitters) - House Targaryen (111) - HBPs are also trending upward for some reason. The league collectively got plunked 1,010 times. K - House Targaryen (1,811) - Also not surprising given MLB trends H allowed (min 1250 IP) - Aint No Vogelbach Girl (1,156) - A low innings total helped, but the Vogues had a tough staff.

  Caimans 🐊 on September 30, 2019 9:46 AM

• End of season notes: The league collectively came up 5 points short of setting the aggregate points scored record set in 2017 (a year were even the last place team scored 15,000). Several league records were set this season: ABs - The Syndicate (7,491) - He used every game played except for 6 in the OF. Well done! 2B - Vladimir (459) HR - I Don't Know (374) - No surprise the HR record was broken this year

  Caimans 🐊 on September 30, 2019 9:43 AM

• This is the first season (2019) the league winner scored less than 20,000 points since 2013

  TTBNL on September 30, 2019 9:31 AM

• Rosters are now locked, I will cut down when they become open

  Skubal Do-Baddoo on September 30, 2019 8:14 AM

• Congrats to Strikes. Wait till next year, when we plan to get up to 10th!

  Eckfords ⚾ on September 29, 2019 9:33 PM

• Great season, Strikes...congrats!

  The Syndicate 💣 on September 29, 2019 8:59 PM

• The last scores are in. Congratulations to the Lucky Strikes on their fine season! And congratulations to the Eckfords for holding off a late surge by the ghost team to stay out of the basement!

  Caimans 🐊 on September 29, 2019 8:49 PM

• Reminder: Legal roster rules apply heading into the off-season. 60-day IL guys are fine but you must maintain a legal roster heading into arbitration. There are no "free players" just because it is the last few days of the year.

  Caimans 🐊 on September 29, 2019 5:15 PM

• Absolutely! We need someone new to step on our heads!

  Eckfords ⚾ on September 28, 2019 9:17 PM

• Welcome to the new folks!

  The Syndicate 💣 on September 28, 2019 8:58 PM

• Following the league constitution, I am also calling a vote on retention of owners. If there is an owner(s) that you believe should be replaced, please send me a direct message. 7 votes are needed to replace an owner.

  Caimans 🐊 on September 28, 2019 5:49 PM

• On the Slack message board, Owen (I Don't Know What to Call this Team) also announced his departure. We will miss him and wish him well. I put out a call for owners on Slack and the Ottoneu community board and already have two new owners lined up, at least one of whom is a very active member of the Ottoneu community. The other has done Ottoneu before but sat out this season after his league folded. He's ready to jump back in. The two rosters they are claiming are Lucky Strikes and I Don't Know.

  Caimans 🐊 on September 28, 2019 5:45 PM

• I too will be departing. This season was absurd, I’m cutting down at least half my rosters. I’ll be glad to stick around for arb if needed

  Rose in the Front 🌹 on September 27, 2019 6:12 PM

• Owners, as you well know, Trey is going to take his trophy and ride off into the sunset. This will open up a manager spot in our league and someone will get to inherit a strong roster. If anyone has recommendations for a new owner, please let me know. We will also be voting next week on whether to remove any owners (following the League 52 constitution). I would like a full slate of managers to participate in arbitration, so any ownership changes need to happen quickly.

  Caimans 🐊 on September 27, 2019 4:17 PM

• Just cracked 1000 points out the catcher position. My goal is 50 HRs (Garver hit #47 tonight).

  Caimans 🐊 on September 20, 2019 12:54 AM

• I requested a loan from Ottoneu for a 2020 Trout but couldn’t get approved in time. 😢

  The Syndicate 💣 on September 18, 2019 8:15 PM

• looks like we need something more extreme to cause chaos in the league...

  Hungry Hungry Homers on September 18, 2019 7:35 PM

• Hey that’s less than Trout’s average salary

  TTBNL on September 18, 2019 5:34 PM

• Booooo
