• 2024 DRAFT SCHEDULED FOR 3/5 AND 3/12 AT 6PM PACIFIC/9PM EASTERN

  The Bazzana Bananas on February 22, 2024 3:19 PM

• Ran out of characters. If you are interested in playing, the easiest way is to sign into the Slack group, go to the predictions channel and make your guesses in the polls. I’ll be gathering the guesses after the first pitch on 3/30. If you don’t have Slack or would rather you can send me a message over Ottoneu with your guesses. We are trying to predict each division winner and the league winners for MVP, Cy Young, and ROY. Let me know if you have questions!

• Less than a week until the season starts. For those not on the Slack group, we are making predictions on what we think will happen this season. We did this last year and failed miserably (Jeff won with 4/12 correct guesses). This year we are upping the ante, for those playing, the person with the most correct predictions will get their $20 Ottoneu fee paid for by the person with the least number of correct guesses (tie breaker is final Ottoneu standing).

• A very hearty and official CONGRATULATIONS to Kyle (Give 'em the Heater, Ricky) for taking the crown this year! I've known Kyle for a long time and I can tell you that he was very intentional and tried extremely hard to make this happen this year. It was cool to see the groundwork he laid pay off and give me, at least, hope that we all have a chance to create a plan, execute it, and see the reward. Good job, Kyle!

• Cape Cod All Stars with the back-to-back! Super impressive! One of these years I'll catch you, but clearly not this one. Congratulations on the win!

• I countered my recent trade, but after I submitted the trade I got an email stating I had accepted the original trade. Not my intention, and if I need to deal .org that I can, but if it can be taken away I’d be greatful

  Ingrid Deserves Redemption on November 18, 2020 9:56 PM

• Trade

  Ingrid Deserves Redemption on November 18, 2020 9:53 PM

• Congrats, Cape Cod All Stars!

  The Bat of Johnnie LeMaster on September 28, 2020 1:27 PM

• Given that the MLB season is now suspended, should we postpone the draft to a later date when we have a better idea of what the actual MLB season will look like? I'm doing that in my other league so I thought I'd throw that out here as well.

  The Bat of Johnnie LeMaster on March 12, 2020 4:24 PM

• 2020 Draft Date/Time are SET: Wednesday, March 18th from 6:00pm-9:00pm (PST)!

• I've emailed the league, but in case you're stopping by here, this is the link to the form/survey for scheduling the draft: https://forms.gle/PgneTHEVcsUkmQQv9

• Congrats to Mike's Trouser Trout on a great season, especially the last month. I don't think we could count the number of times the league's lead changed hands, sometimes multiple times during one night. It was quite a challenge and tons of fun, so thanks for that. Congrats to everyone else on a great season, thanks for having me in the league, and I look forward to defending the title next season. Have a great off-season, everyone!

• Can someone post the slack page again? The link that is up isn't active anymore.

  The Bat of Johnnie LeMaster on August 30, 2019 1:55 PM

• Posted some trade talk in the Slack chat if anyone is interested!

  McCarthyism on August 6, 2019 3:10 AM

• Paul Dejong. Anyone want to buy high? 52 from a middle infielder.

• Alright, since there is a little interest already, here is the link to the slack page: https://join.slack.com/t/wbtbso/shared_invite/enQtNjg4NjAxODc2NzM5LTFlMGE0NTA4MzgyNjgzYTU2NWY0ZTQ5Zjg0ZGMxOTU5NjEyODEyMDEwMDUzNTdhZWYxMTg0YTE5YWRhOGJmNmQ

• I’m too old to know what a slack server is but I’m game

  Joe Jackson Revival on July 18, 2019 10:32 PM

• I'm down for a slack server, that's a great idea

  Brandon Pfaadt $45M on July 18, 2019 10:20 PM

• Lastly, is there any interest for a slack server for the league? I've been playing with most of you for 3 seasons and I feel like I barely know y'all! Plus talking trade might be easier on slack as oppose to the integrated messaging system in Ottoneu.

  Lords of Lumber on July 18, 2019 9:50 PM

• Secondly, life has come at me fast since the start of the season. I got off on the wrong foot, barely made the draft and it has been crazy since. Things have finally settled down, and I'm finding time to get back into fantasy baseball. It appears to be too little too late for my team this year. Needless to say I will be selling. Looking to rebuild for the coming years. So send me some offers if you think any of my guys have value to your team.

  Lords of Lumber on July 18, 2019 9:49 PM

• Hey guys! A couple of things. The message board only allows 500 words so I'm going to break this up. First off, awful news about Rob... I didn't know him but from Ben Lindbergh's tribute to him in the most recent Effectively Wild it sounds like he was a pretty amazing guy in the industry. I'll be rooting for his team to win it all this year.

  Lords of Lumber on July 18, 2019 9:44 PM

• UPDATE: email sent 7/15 with some important league updates. Make sure you check that out! ~ Jeff

  The Bazzana Bananas on July 15, 2019 12:23 PM

• Hoo boy, if I had a nickel for every sub-ideal talent evaluation I've made! E.g. A few years ago, I cut Trevor Story in Scoresheet before his rookie season comes to mind as one absolutely brutal decision, for example. In this league, I inherited a fantastic set of keepable players, so I can't take much credit for any success. But it sure is fun to root for Bellinger. LOL

  Ingrid Deserves Redemption on July 6, 2019 7:41 PM

• Trading Yasmani Grandal for Kikuchi was certainly a low so far...

  Nefarious Disengagement on July 3, 2019 1:54 PM

• Ha ha! That's pretty bad. Not to say I haven't done similarly dumb things in the past, too numerous to list here, for sure.

  The Bat of Johnnie LeMaster on July 3, 2019 1:25 PM

• I cut Lourdes on a $2 contract at the end of April... He has only averaged about 9 ppg since.

• I accidentally put Morton into a RP slot tonight. I nominate this for "bonehead move of the season". Second?

• Quick note: be sure to keep tabs on your games played and innings pitched. There are limits for every position (all pitchers are thrown in one bucket) and you can track them at the bottom of your lineups page. That portion also projects the "pace" you're on for reaching or exceeding those thresholds. If you have questions, consult the rules/settings tabs and/or reach out to me directly. --Jeff
