Big Papi Memories has informed me he is departing the league as a part of his fantasy downsizing effort. I will mark the team as abandoned. If anyone has any interested parties, send them my way.
-
Still 4 more teams to complete arbitration by tomorrow!
-
One week remains to complete arbitration. Please complete it by the deadline.
-
Welcome to the league!
-
Thanks everyone for the kind replies. Clearly something was ROTTEN with Sky Carp. Let's just say things are gonna be a little different around here with the meatballs.
Took a lot of hard work to get here, will take a lot more to get to where we want to be.
If you want to learn more about the person behind DLM, shoot me a ping, my line's always available.
-
Welcome and best of luck. If you have any questions, just let me know.
-
Welcome to Daddy's Little Meatballs. IMO one of the better names we've had
-
Belliard -- I put the team on the Abandoned Teams list yesterday, so all he has to do is claim it from there. Here is the link to the page: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/claimteams
He'll have to scroll down to Beloit Sky Carp and claim them.
-
My friend is in. How does he join?
-
Beloit Sky Carp has informed me he is dropping this team. If anyone knows of an interested manager, please send them my way. I'll give it a day or two before posting the team as available to the greater Ottoneu community.
-
Hi all. I look forward to competing next year!

You do a great job & thanks for taking on the responsibility, Commish.
Welcome to our new managers! They are from another league, finishing in 1st & 2nd place. Both of them are commissioners elsewhere, as well. They manage several teams (not easy to do), and naturally, they know our favorite Big Papi. They’ll (undoubtedly) bring added experience, competition, activity (KEY) and “positive vibes” based on my experience w/both. Looking forward to having them!
-
And, lastly, congrats to Gus on a fourth straight title. I know there are two games today, but with limits reached, and me not having any Braves/Mets who play 2B -- side note, thanks for the rainout on Altuve's game, yesterday, weather gods -- there's no chance to make up the difference. I've learned rolling 30-day stat corrections are run by Ottoneu every morning. That opens an off chance an official scoring from the past 30 days is changed today or tomorrow, but I doubt it. Gus has won.
-
I welcome any questions, concerns, criticisms, etc. Feel free to post them here or send a message to me, if desired.
-
Thanks, Papi. As of today, we have two new managers. One for triples is best and another for Jobu's Rum. As full disclosure, I contacted Jobu's Rum about leaving the league is well, given a lack of activity. The manager responded saying they were planning to drop the league anyway. I hope everyone knows that I take the commish role seriously. I'm not looking to remove managers and force league turnover. But I am looking to make sure this is a great league for everyone to play in.
-
Well, you do a great job of doing all you do for us Commish, Thanks a lot
-
This league has turnover, just like any league. We've had to cycle through quite a few managers over the years for various reasons. There are several people in here who know one another outside of this league. It has been kind of a public/home league hybrid in that sense, which is probably pretty common on this platform. Ultimately, I'm honestly trying to make it the best experience for everyone and don't want people butting heads with one another. I have no hard feelings toward anyone.
-
There are some games that count today. Not quite done yet!
-
I guess I’m getting booted from the league. Pretty cowardly of commish if you ask me. Funny how this is a public league that is being run like a “home league,” guess that it’s tough to keep managers around when you have someone as obnoxious as Gus Schullo in here.
Good luck, everyone else. Maybe invest your fantasy monies elsewhere.

oh nvm i see they're both at their innings limits. Crazy finish
-
Isn't there two more games today that count?
-
Thanks Juan! It was definitely an entertaining final day/week. I really don’t think I could get any luckier, performance or timing wise. I’d be in 3rd place by the end of the week, just as I was earlier in the week. I’d say this one belongs to you and Milk Hotel. Thanks for a fun season everyone. Looking forward to the offseason!
-
Damn what a last day for the title challenge. Can’t say I’m over excited to see you win it again Gus, but hot damn, can’t knock the hustle. Well won!
-
As a kid I witnessed my team instigate the White Flag Trade. I understand the idea at play here. I was merely surprised to see it, and wanted to create an open discussion, figuring others might have the same thought. I aim for a league where everyone is engaged, sometimes even spirited in debate or trash talk (we are competing here), but, ultimately civil, with no underlying animosity or lingering conflict. If Triples assesses first place is out of reach, that's his assessment to make.
-
And I think (Dart’s can correct me) Snell was on his block most of the season. So we all had an opportunity to put together a better offer.
I’m ok w/both. Just hoping Juan catches the injury bug. I’ll start putting needles in Judge & Yordan voodoo dolls.
-
I don’t see a big issue w/the deal. Value wise, it seems fine. Nola, in 24’, is a downgrade of sorts relative to Juan’s P/IP. Obviously, he’s capable of more but kind of a non-factor in the deal to an outsider. Unusual timing? Sure. But if he felt he was out of it and had no intention of keeping Judge, who actually warrants the high salary, then it’s a sound move for next season. I didn’t have any issue w/the Snell trade. Sentiment was down + injury prone + higher salary. Hard guy to own.
-
Re: Wong & Hence for Snell: I can't speak for Darts, but that offer was made before Snell's big game against the Rockies. He was in the 4.4 PIP range at the time. Wong was slightly above 5 PPG. Hence is a strongly-regarded prospect likely to debut in 2025. I had three starting-caliber catchers and was looking to improve pitching. I figured Wong's price + performance was more attractive than Realmuto or Stephenson for Snell's price + performance at the time. Snell's surge has certainly he
-
Don't think I have a shot at first. Pitching keeps letting me down. Would rather have a younger, cheaper Acuna than Judge next year. Not much else I'd wanna move Judge for. Just so happens the guy with Acuna happened to be in first.
-
The players involved are fair value on talent. It's the timing, standings circumstances, and player health status that are surprising to me. If a team having a tough season or in full rebuild mode made this trade, I would not be surprised. I was surprised because on a nightly basis 2nd, 3rd and 4th place have been shuffling in the last two weeks and there have even been a few times when 1st place changed. I am using the public forum in case others had questions.
-
I mean I think both trades make some sense if all the lower ranked team is thinking about is next year. Feels like the commish's issue is more that the fourth place team in a tight race is punting on the rest of this season (while trading the best player in the league to the first place team), but if that's what Triples thinks is their best strategy to win the league eventually then I won't object.

I dunno, it's a much better return than a recent offer I got for Judge.
Also, I personally think it's a much easier-to-understand trade than Wong and Hence for Snell, but we all let that one pass without any fuss.
-
Commish hat (not guy in the heat of a 1st through 4th place rock fight hat - admittedly a tough duality) - help me understand the Judge & Nola for Acuna & Yelich trade? I'm surely not the only one a bit surprised seeing it in their inboxes this morning.
-
Update: The scoring issue is reportedly resolved. Standings are back to accurate.
-
Update: Ottoneu is apparently missing data as far back as mid-July. Niv (Ottoneu founder) continues to investigate. When all is settled, I'm expecting some changes to the standings points. I'm figuring this won't be massive, since it is impacting everyone, but we obviously have a very close race here, so it might have an impact on the current standings.
-
The issue is apparently more widespread, impacting data back to 8/3. FanGraphs is working on a fix. Updates can be found here: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/offensive-stats-missing-from-8-7-24/14476
-
It appears offensive stats from last night are missing across the board for Ottoneu this morning. I’ve made note of it in the tech support thread and figure it will resolve soon.
-
Alonso is on the block
-
That vacancy didn’t last long. Beloit Sky Carp has a new manager.
-
Damn. Unfortunate but better to hope for someone picking it up
-
Beloit Sky Carp has informed me he is not continuing with the league. I have marked his team as abandoned in hopes of someone picking it up for the remainder of the season and beyond.
-
Hope you all have a nice draft and we get a great baseball season
-
Last reminder: Draft is TONIGHT at 7:30 pm (Central Time). We can start once everyone is logged on. Papi - I know you are not drafting tonight.
-
Reminder: we draft one week from today. I have not heard any issues with this date and time. Please let me know ASAP if there is a conflict.
-
Welcome to the league. I think you might get one round of penalty-free cuts even though the deadline has passed. I’m not sure if that applies to the offseason or just the regular season.
-
Hey everyone! I’m the new owner of Al_B2. I will get to changing the team name later tonight. Looking forward to the league.
-
Al_B2 did not pay to renew his team and has been booted automatically by the system. If anyone know someone seeking to join, please send them my way ASAP.
-
Not drafting, full roster, so date is not a factor for me Thanks for good job Commish
-
all good on March 3rd!
