• Just a reminder that I won’t be back next year. Good luck everybody

  Cornucopia Grainbelters 5x on October 22, 2024 7:21 PM

• Hi Commish and owners, congrats to the winners, wanted to say it's been a pleasure playing with all of you this season. Got way too many leagues and cannot maintain the rythm (time consuming and $$$). So I won't be renewing many of my leagues like this one, got some talent to attract new owner for next year so you should be able to quickly fill vacancy. have a good arb and a great future season! Thanks Commish for great work

  Big Papi memories on October 11, 2024 12:29 AM

• Congrats House on the win.

  Jobu Needs a Refill on October 2, 2024 7:31 PM

• Looking like Rough House will. Congratulations

  Cornucopia Grainbelters 5x on September 30, 2024 1:17 PM

• Thank you for the kind words VSB. I still think you are the better player, but sometimes one of the rest of us has to get lucky. And I’m still sweating. Chris Sale could have a bad start tomorrow. I don’t count my chickens etc. But the race between you and me and Lil Max has been a highlight of a tough year. Stay well, Chris.

  Rough House Blues on September 29, 2024 7:14 PM

• RHB - wow, what a season - congrats on finishing at the top spot! It's been a long time coming that the streak would end and even though my team has struggled mightily the past 6 weeks I hope that I made you sweat at least a little to the very end :)

  Votto STILL Bangs on September 29, 2024 5:31 PM

• Just an FYI for the league. This is in the community section and comes from Niv. Because the Mets/Braves will have a doubleheader on Monday, the season will be extended for those games and the stats will count. This will also extend the official end of season to Monday at 11:59pm EST. This means you can still start an auction on Saturday before 11:59pm EST and it will process. Any auctions started after that will not have enough time for the 48hr waiver wire period. Thanks.

• Final night for trades.

  Jobu Needs a Refill on August 31, 2024 5:38 PM

• Only a few days left to make trades before the deadline.

  Jobu Needs a Refill on August 28, 2024 5:16 PM

• And yeah, lift one high for Votto (whatever your beverage of choice), one of the best to ever do it, my fav player in baseball, and hopefully I'll see him back in Cincy soon doing whatever he wants to.

  Votto STILL Bangs on August 22, 2024 10:20 AM

• Bummer to hear you most likely won't be back Cornucopia!
  
  Also thanks for the shoutouts earlier everyone on the Prestige run, I was bummed to see it end the way it did :(

  Votto STILL Bangs on August 22, 2024 10:19 AM

• Pour one out folks. Joey Votto has officially hung up his spikes.

  Rough House Blues on August 21, 2024 9:26 PM

• I’m 90%certain I won’t be back next year. I’ll manage my team but don’t think I should make any big trades. It’s been a lot of fun. Good luck everyone.

  Cornucopia Grainbelters 5x on August 20, 2024 2:56 PM

• Congratulations Votto.

  Cornucopia Grainbelters 5x on August 13, 2024 8:06 AM

• Great run VSB

  Big Papi memories on August 12, 2024 11:36 PM

• Commiserations to VSB who did not advance to round 6 of the Ottoneu Prestige League. By making it to round 5, VSB defended the honor of the Captain’s Table, and we salute him.

  Rough House Blues on August 12, 2024 11:15 AM

• Thanks RHB! I was sweating the last matchup and I got a tough one going this round too!

  Votto STILL Bangs on August 4, 2024 11:18 AM

• Congratulations to VSB who has made it to round 5 of the Ottoneu Prestige League. Got through round 4 with 17 points to spare.

  Rough House Blues on July 31, 2024 9:27 PM

• lol nice pun!
  
  I would say the recency bias also account for post draft super hyped prospects, who at the time of debut may be a $12-$15 rookie.
  
  At the end of the day they’re still volatile lotto tickets.
  
  This instant success of Nando, Vlad, Ely are leading people to think all tops draftees/J2s are capable of that talent.
  
  Wait what am I saying… yes, yes please all my opponents spend big on top draft guys yes muahahahaha

  Los Angeles Angelenos on July 25, 2024 10:50 PM

• My point was that Bazzana and Condon went for quite reasonable salaries compared to Rece Hinds, whose $12 salary is the result of - sorry, can’t help myself - Recency bias.

  Rough House Blues on July 25, 2024 10:42 PM

• Not close to convinced I'll be keeping my $10 draftees in 2025, but felt like price enforcing if my season is going nowhere. Winning bids on these guys seem to be increasing each year.

  Space Jays on July 25, 2024 11:28 AM

• Big difference is Rece Hinds is in the majors. These guys are freshly out of the draft pool.
  
  Top draft picks go for premiums now, just a few years ago they would have been, 2-4 dollar pick ups

  Los Angeles Angelenos on July 25, 2024 11:20 AM

• Well that was dull. Rece Hinds went for $12. The eye of the beholder, right. Stay well, everyone.

  Rough House Blues on July 25, 2024 11:11 AM

• even after winning the Bazzana auction for $10, I was surprised it went that high. I'm assuming Condon goes for even more with how fun it is dreaming on Rockies hitters

  Space Jays on July 23, 2024 3:05 PM

• Bazzana’s median salary in 5x5 is $10. Charlie Condon may be another story. Shall we find out?

  Rough House Blues on July 23, 2024 10:57 AM

• Me: I wonder what Bazzana will go for…
  Me: 👀

  Los Angeles Angelenos on July 23, 2024 10:22 AM

• I’ve got about 12ish hours to make any trades for the Prestige snapshot. Willing to move any player or contract that helps me this season. Hit me up if you're interested in swinging a trade today!

  Votto STILL Bangs on July 15, 2024 1:35 PM

• Thank you for sharing an update and hope you have a speedy recovery RHB!

  Garden City Baseball Club on June 29, 2024 6:45 PM

• Thank you all for your kind thoughts. I am touched by all of them. Stay well, Chris.

  Rough House Blues on June 29, 2024 3:02 PM

• Hope you’re feeling better soon, RHB!

  The Pavonis Monsters on June 29, 2024 2:48 PM

• Hope you have a speedy recovery.

  Cornucopia Grainbelters 5x on June 29, 2024 2:02 PM

• RHB - I’m happy you’re alive too and hope you have a speedy recovery! We are definitely on polar opposites on the trade slinging, and they don’t always work out making looking back at trades through the years pretty fun. You might do more than keep the chair warm, you might be keeping it for yourself all season!

  Votto STILL Bangs on June 29, 2024 12:30 PM

• Hey Chris, wish you a speedy recovery, take care

  Big Papi memories on June 29, 2024 11:57 AM

• I was going to write a clever riposte to VSB’s trade message about being willing to give up future value to win this year. But VSB was too fast for me. I’m recovering from open heart surgery. What can I say? I’m still the crotchety old guy who hates trading. VSB is a better player than me, and there’s no shame in keeping the first place chair warm for him. I’m happy to be alive. Chris.

  Rough House Blues on June 29, 2024 11:55 AM

• Hold my beer.

  Los Angeles Angelenos on May 9, 2024 3:42 PM

• Blockbuster trade with a major loan, good work I guess

  Big Papi memories on May 9, 2024 3:07 PM

• Happy 2024 Opening Day!

  Jobu Needs a Refill on March 28, 2024 10:53 AM

• Good to see that podcasters are getting auctioned. Trevor May - Rates & Barrels - every Friday.

  Rough House Blues on March 15, 2024 10:54 PM

• Jays and Max - your presences is requested at the draft room.

  Jobu Needs a Refill on March 4, 2024 7:57 PM

• 10 minute warning. Still missing a comish to start the show.

  Jobu Needs a Refill on March 4, 2024 7:50 PM

• About 30 minutes to draft time.

  Jobu Needs a Refill on March 4, 2024 7:33 PM

• Draft tonight! 8PM EST

  Jobu Needs a Refill on March 4, 2024 5:56 PM

• Looking to fill one last open team in a Yahoo league.
  14 Teams, H2H. You can keep any (10) players, so plenty left in the draft pool.
  Team features: Ohtani (batter), Castellanos, Lowe, Logan Gilbert, Joe Ryan, Lopez, Buxton, Happ, Stott
  Please let me know if you're interested.

  Scratch My Ichiro 🏯 on March 2, 2024 12:16 PM

• Setting it for March 4th unless someone objects! :)

  Votto STILL Bangs on February 15, 2024 4:31 PM

• I can make the 4th work, so that should be all good

  Los Angeles Angelenos on February 15, 2024 3:25 PM

• What I am seing in many leagues I'm in, when there is only one team not available, the draft date is set anyway and proxies are found for that team

  Big Papi memories on February 15, 2024 12:22 PM

• For those that voted no to March 4 and 15, would shifting the draft time slightly help any of you make it?

  Space Jays on February 15, 2024 11:30 AM

• It seems like we're at a bit of a crossroads on our draft day - March 4 and 15 have the most votes but we have at least one player voting no on each. Would we be able to make either of these days work or do we need to go back to the drawing board?

  Votto STILL Bangs on February 15, 2024 9:25 AM

• I just created this doodle for a draft date survey. Can everyone please complete so we can lock a time in?
  https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/dGwx9Q7d

  Space Jays on February 6, 2024 1:40 PM

• Right now Feb. 25 and March 12, 14, 17, and 18 look like they will be booked soon in my other leagues. Available the other weekdays after 7:30pm and anytime on the weekends. Thanks.
