Was a little too quick on the trigger and accidentally cut clippard (dude I just won this morning) instead of H. Robles (guy I meant to cut). Anyone opposed to me correcting this using commish override? Both $1 contracts so it wouldn’t have mattered but I just cut the wrong guy. Think I’ve done this before (and would do) for other teams if notified immediately but how about a 24 hour period for anyone to object? I don’t care enough to cause a stink but just made an error
-
Crazy and entertaining! Should be a fun playoffs this year
-
crazy for sure!! best i can ever remember
-
Wow what an exciting trade deadline....
-
Hyun Jin Ryu about to get his 5th win in his last 7 starts. Those numbers might as well start benefiting your team. I'd like to move him sooner than later, let me know if your interested.
-
This is the third time he's been on my roster. I just can't quit.
-
Wow! So much love for Senzel lol. I hope he gets healthy and reaches his potential of a #2 overall prospect. Health is the only thing standing in his way.
-
Yeah +1 to everything you guys said. I’ve seen a bunch of horror stories from other leagues in ottoneu forums and slack and I just get to brag to Niv about how well our league operates thanks to having a good collection of folks here. Hope everyone gets a chance to recharge for the 2nd half during the all star break. 162 game season is a lot more managing than the 60 game one last year!
-
I'd like to emphatically second that statement. This is my 1st Ottoneu league and I just joined another and there are owners who show up once a week and others who are unreasonable in trades and others who refuse to even counter-offer. I am beyond lucky to have joined this league.
-
I'd like to take a moment to appreciate the fact that every single person in this league is a reasonable person. In a different league, I just had a manager insult me when rejecting my trade offer. I truly can't imagine any of you doing that, and that feels really great.
-
I am looking to deal Kirby+a second piece for a major league SP. Send me a DM if interested.
-
Wow, what a first MLB game!
-
Happy Wander Franco day Spinningseams.. sorry in advance if I send an offer late tonight if he only goes 1-4 or something lol
-
In fairness, I'm the one who started the Robles auction. I figured Senzel stinks so I might as well try Robles. By the way Senzel is out there 🤣
-
I'm bummed stugotz won him, I was hoping a team with some less cap space would have to make some cuts for him! Was trying to 'shake the tree' without much luck haha.
-
That pseudo-Goldschmidt/Robles trade where both teams generated real cap space was a nifty bit of work (and feels extremely "Ottoneu")
-
I'll be dropping him in my other league tonight for a random middle reliever!
-
Now I know how good it felt to cut Gary Sanchez. Good bye Senzel. 👋
-
I need a 1B, send me a DM if you have any available.
-
I usually hate cutting players, but I have to admit that one was pretty satisfying.
-
he's killing me in another league! Adding Higashioka and cutting Gary, love it lol
-
Never again Gary, never again.
-
I also agree that we keep the league as is. Was a little surprised that they allowed teams from leagues with a different format into the OPL.
-
I would agree we keep the coupons, I like this incentive for teams competing at the end of the season that may be just outside the money.
-
Since it is an either/or situation, I wanted to ask if anyone has a desire for this league to get rid of arbitration coupons, and become OPL-eligible. If we abolish arb coupons for the 2021-2022 offseason, our league is eligible for OPL. Based on my experience (both Carp and I are projected to miss the cut right now, lol) and the fact we're a 5x5 league and OPL is points format, I'm inclined to say we stick with Arb coupons over OPL, but wanted to gather opinions on the matter. Thanks! (2/2)
-
Hey y'all, just FYI on the Ottoneu Prestige League.. Our league is now ineligible due to having Arb Coupons.. Niv just added this rule: "Play in a league that does not have any custom rules, including but not limited to arbitration/inflation adjustments, any kind of coupon system and/or extended MiLB-only rosters".. I wanted to share this as an FYI, since 'eligible' teams won't be able to play in 2022 and beyond. (1/?)
-
Hey y'all, happy Friday (the last Friday we'll have without baseball). Just wanted to share a new ottoneu podcast from one of the Slack community members that just came out, called 'Playing Ottoneu'. It's on Itunes and Spotify, and here's the link to the first show: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0Z7fFkF8xTDxFZ3WZGb3dR?si=2vAYxjvQTCKXjjXjW12vwg&nd=1 . you might hear yours truly make a quick cameo! 😅

Eloy!! 😭😭😭

👇🏼
-
...guys ....guys... *whispers* ...baseball's almost officially here...
-
Done! Peralta and Martin are cut, with no cap penalty to 'Team of My Own'. they can now be reauctioned for $1 minimum.
-
Ok, if I can cut David Peralta and Chris Martin I'll roll the dice on the rest
-
Yeah Carp has it correct. Ottoneu doesn't have any specific roster requirements in the rules, other than having 22 MLB - eligible players. I don't think missing the games cap at C is a good strategy, personally, as you'll miss out on R/RBI/HR/SB from those games, but you can make the games up pretty quickly from starting 2 catchers daily.
-
Yea, there's no position minimums to my knowledge. The only reason their are 2 spots on the lineup page is to allow you to start 2 in one day because that position is platooned so often. It would be tough to hit the 162 games if you could only start one per day.
-
Position/roster question. I see Miami and Show only have 1 Catcher. I thought we had had to have a minimum of 2, but don't see it in the rules anywhere. If a loophole, well played on your parts, extra roster spot for positions of value.

Just let the league know about any cuts and i'll make the transactions
-
sounds good!! i was trying to tell him only Catchers, but he wasn't listening 😉
-
I appreciate you being able to even get a proxy in to cover for me. I'm going through my roster quickly now, but I'll make any confirmed cuts tonight. It probably didn't help him that I had most of the available players on my watchlist haha!
-
Hey thanks for checking in, and sorry you couldn’t make it. That sounds like a real rough break last night. We had someone from the ottoneu slack jump in and draft after the first hour for you, and he was mostly grabbing guys from your watch list as he told me. Thankfully your roster didn’t need much work but hopefully that helps. If you want to cut any of the guys last night penalty-free we’ll allow it through the next day or two
-
Sorry all, I was forced to be away from home/computer last night. Was going to draft via my phone, but lucky me cracked the screen and broke it so I wasn't able to draft or even let you guys know what had happened. I hope you all had a fantastic draft without me, and I apologize for the inconvenience caused.
-
@ A Team of My Own - Draft time!
-
48 hours from now!! Fired up for a full season of hard ball!!
-
Yes we are spinningseams!! Draft is in 48ish hours. Have your watchlist ready to go and hopefully we can start on time and knock it out in 3ish hours. Really looking forward to it!
-
Are we drafting soon? Can't wait!
-
There's one spot available in my other league, a $250 5x5 with a light keeper element that's looking to start a slow draft in around a week. Send me a note if interested.
It's not as fun as this league, but ... come on, that would be impossible.
-
I entered my team, thought it would be fun to see how it would do in a different scoring format.
On a side note, Tatis should pay for our entries, HOLY. lol
-
FYI there's a new game format called the Ottoneu Prestige League, details in the banner. haven't decided if i'm signing my team up yet or not, but my points league team is in and hoping to take down the 💰
-
Early returns are in on the draft date confirmation.. I’m going to set it for 3/13 @ 8 PM ET and we’ll go from there.. thanks everyone! Trade deadline is in a week!
-
Good morning, and thanks everyone for filling out the draft survey.. looks like we will be drafting on a Saturday again due to conflicts during the week. That being said, I’ve attached one final survey for preferences on 6 different date/times: https://forms.gle/HpUMrLciYvcmWdTTA thanks! I’ll email as well
