• Great auction draft, everyone! Thanks especially to Andrew for hosting a number of us at his place. We'll try to do an evening at the ballpark again once the weather warms up.

  AC Milan on March 22, 2025 3:26 PM

• For those of you in the D.C. area on Saturday, would you be interested in getting together for the draft? We used to do it this way years ago. Andrew has agreed to host and I can provide adult beverages. If you are interested, let me know!

  AC Milan on March 15, 2025 7:42 PM

• Sounds good to me. Thanks Commish!

  Funky Rally Monkeys on February 3, 2025 5:11 PM

• Thanks for checking, Andrew. Your proposal seems fair.

  AC Milan on February 3, 2025 4:49 PM

• So I propose that we keep the draft as scheduled for March 22. If anyone has Cubs or Dodgers player(s) and would like to cut the player(s) given the potential to miss two games, let me know and I'll make the cut for you.

• Hi all. Niv replied to my question about including the Japan stats: "Ottoneu does not do retroactive lineup setting. If you draft after the games in Japan, they won’t count for your league."
  
  I believe this was not an issue last season because our draft just by luck was scheduled a week earlier. Based on the replies above, I don't see a consensus for either March 15 or 16. With owners spread pretty far apart, a weekday draft is probably a non-starter.

  AIRheads on February 3, 2025 4:34 PM

• I can do the 15 or 16.

  Funky Rally Monkeys on February 3, 2025 9:52 AM

• If we have to move it, I can do the 16th.

  BABIP Roberts on February 3, 2025 9:42 AM

• We didn’t skip them last year in this league.

  The Heel Clickers on February 3, 2025 7:25 AM

• We just skip those games in other leagues I play in.

  BABIP Roberts on February 3, 2025 1:33 AM

• The 15th is good. The 16th is only good until 12pm. Not that we will be drafting much with our $10 🙄

  Snafu Sluggers 🤦‍♂️ on February 3, 2025 1:27 AM

• Either is good

  The Visitors on February 2, 2025 11:22 PM

• The 15th is good, the 16th is not.

  Olneyville Harps on February 2, 2025 11:13 PM

• It's too early to say for sure, but I was planning on traveling overseas that weekend. So it would not work for me.

  AC Milan on February 2, 2025 10:29 PM

• Are March 15 or 16 at noon ET viable for everyone? I'm also checking on whether/how stats can be included if we draft after the Japan series

  AIRheads on February 2, 2025 9:59 PM

• From a hitting standpoint: 3 pts in runs by <3, 2pts in HRs by <2, 4pts in RBI by <5, 4pts in steals by <2. All of which are attainable in a 2 game stretch. So yes…missing out on two games from top end talent can easily change the standings at the end of the season.

  The Heel Clickers on February 2, 2025 8:36 PM

• If it’s the same as last year, lineups can’t be set until draft is marked as complete, therefore stats can’t be acquired. I’d argue it matters seeing as a final day SB tied us for 3rd and missing a solid start from a SP (more so in a Dodgers 6-man rotation) could result in losing ~4% of their stats and swing a category. 2 points in wins were decided by a single one (one in saves), 4 points in Ks were decided by <10, and multiple ERA/WHIP points by less than .002 which can shift over a sta

  The Heel Clickers on February 2, 2025 8:30 PM

• Could we still include the stats even though we draft afterwards? Will two games of results impact who anyone wants to acquire?

  Snafu Sluggers 🤦‍♂️ on February 2, 2025 8:05 PM

• could we just lower the games limit ? if that’s even possible

  Virtual Baseball Team on February 2, 2025 3:05 PM

• I already moved things to draft that morning.

  BABIP Roberts on February 2, 2025 11:30 AM

• As far as draft: Tokyo Series is the 18th/19th...I'm assuming those of us with Dodgers/Cubs don't want to miss out on games. Any thoughts on pushing the draft up a week to the 15th/16th?

  The Heel Clickers on February 2, 2025 11:17 AM

• Got it, thanks

  BABIP Roberts on January 31, 2025 11:09 PM

• From the rules:
  VIII. OFFSEASON
  Before the end of arbitration, players may not be cut. Between the end of arbitration and the keeper deadline, players may be cut or traded. After the keeper deadline and before the auction draft, teams may not cut or trade any players.
  
  So no penalty aside from retaining players you didn't want to keep.

  AIRheads on January 31, 2025 11:03 PM

• What's the penalty for being over at midnight?

  BABIP Roberts on January 31, 2025 10:35 PM

• lol, cmon.

  BABIP Roberts on December 27, 2024 4:31 PM

• Sorry about missing arbitration guys, I put it off and mixed up the deadline thinking it was today

  Average Joe's Gym on November 15, 2024 5:58 AM

• Choked this thing away like the Twins. Need a Polar Bear miracle.

  BABIP Roberts on September 30, 2024 8:36 AM

• trade deadline tomorrow!

  BABIP Roberts on August 30, 2024 11:20 AM

• Spammin' the waiver wire boys

  BABIP Roberts on July 31, 2024 12:27 AM

• Sorry to hear that, Phil. If anyone else wants to join us, let me know and I can pull it back and re-forward. Tickets are $31

  AIRheads on June 18, 2024 4:55 PM

• Gents, I have to pull up for tomorrow's game. Now a travel day for me to make meetings on Thursday-Friday. Popped up out of nowhere but duty calls. I'd rather be in the park, no question. Who do I owe for the ticket?

  Cheese Coneys on June 18, 2024 2:52 PM

• Looks like a consensus for Wednesday's game; there will probably be 5-6 of us. If anyone else would like to join, please let Andrew or myself know. Looking forward to it!

  AC Milan on June 6, 2024 1:08 AM

• Either day great. Dinner at the Waterfront after Wednesday game?

  The Visitors on June 5, 2024 11:10 AM

• Could do it if the 19th. We've moved out of NoVA to a new place just north of Charlottesville. The drive is longer for me so I'd urge the earlier game time. Would be great if we can work it out.

  Cheese Coneys on June 3, 2024 2:03 PM

• Fellow owners: Would there be interest in getting together again in D.C. to see the Nats play the D-backs either Tuesday, June 18 @ 6:45 or Wednesday, June 19 @ 4:05? (The 19th is a federal holiday.) Please let me know if either or both work.

  AC Milan on June 3, 2024 12:39 PM

• haha

  Virtual Baseball Team on May 8, 2024 2:54 PM

• that's a pretty huge salary dump for May, no?

  AIRheads on May 8, 2024 9:00 AM

• It begins...

  BABIP Roberts on May 7, 2024 11:25 PM

• Baty got all the way to the 2nd place team? Wow.

  BABIP Roberts on May 6, 2024 12:16 AM

• haha

  Virtual Baseball Team on March 21, 2024 8:12 PM

• STOP. THE. COUNT.

  BABIP Roberts on March 21, 2024 6:16 PM

• It seems to be working now. Thanks

  Olneyville Harps on March 16, 2024 10:50 AM

• working for me at the moment

  Virtual Baseball Team on March 16, 2024 10:46 AM

• Is anyone else having trouble entering the draft room. I've been getting an error message for the last 30 minutes when I try to enter.

  Olneyville Harps on March 16, 2024 10:40 AM

• Thank you!

  Funky Rally Monkeys on February 20, 2024 8:33 AM

• Not a problem

  AIRheads on February 20, 2024 8:01 AM

• Commishes, I missed one player from my big cut, Daniel Bard. Would you mind cutting him from my roster as well?

  Funky Rally Monkeys on February 19, 2024 9:23 PM

• Welcome, John!

  BABIP Roberts on February 19, 2024 11:49 AM

• Hey All. I’m John, taking over the Burning Baseballs squad. I’ve been playing Ottoneu for seven years and have a few other teams. I’m looking forward to joining y’all! I’m an Angels fan (sigh) originally from California now living outside NYC. I’ll get my round of cuts made in the next couple of days.

  Funky Rally Monkeys on February 19, 2024 10:30 AM

• The earlier the better for me, but I'm in CT.
