Arbitration ends in 3 days. Use those dollars!

Please don’t forget my team’s record for Most Megill Brothers (2)
-
Some new records were set in 2024!! Don't Ryan On My Paredes set a record for triples with 58! The Infirmed was speedy on the basepaths with 290 stolen bases! Kremerica was only caught stealing 12 times! And Contreras Tour logged 113 holds!
-
Meant to do this earlier - by my records, I have league buy-ins from Doron, Brian, Jake (all three from last March), Dave, Andrew, Brennan (last couple days), and myself. If you're not on that list (and I didn't somehow miss you), I need the $35 before I can send out winnings. As Dave said, Paypal to jwbixby at gmail dot com, and please provide both your name and your team's name.
-
Congrats to Bix! A new champion! Love having a close race into September. Reminder, I hope everyone is sticking around but if you intend to bow out for next year, this first week of October is a good time to let it be known. We’ve got a great group here keeping the league competitive from top to bottom!
-
Congrats to Bixby on an amazing comeback and a dramatic championship! Very well played. I don't relish the thought of having to decide which of your players to allocate my $3 to this offseason. Thanks to the whole league for another successful season! (Also, I just went back through my PayPal history and realized I never sent Bixby my buy-in for the league this year. Please double check your own work as well and, if you haven't sent him the $35, do so through PayPal at jwbixby at gmail dot com)
-
It's certainly too close for comfort! 30 days to go and... Bixby outscored me by 400 over the 30 days. Yikes.
-
Is the title actually still undecided with a month to go??! Looks like it could be close!
-
11 pitchers on the IL *has* to be a record somewhere, right?
-
Is there a player with a longer transaction history than Michael Wacha? Someone who has been around since this league started but also has always been on the edge of rosterability?
-
I'm currently considering the possibility that my best opportunity to score positive points is by acquiring 0 IP the rest of the year.
-
Happy (real) Opening Day, all!
-
Good morning league! This is a reminder that our draft in tonight at 9pm eastern time. Yay draft day!
-
I'm happy to serve as trustee of the league funds again this year. If you want to paypal me the entry fee (jwbixby at gmail dot com) with a note including your name and your team's name, I can hold the funds until the end of the season.
-
Thanks, once again, Dave for putting in the leg-work to get it organized!

We are now 12 for 12 in confirming that the night of Match 8th works for the draft, so we're locking that in! Thank you all for somehow making this the easiest ever ottoneu draft to schedule, despite the 12 hour time difference between our most occidental and oriental members. I also have the full league's go-ahead to raise the buy-in to $35. We'll keep the ratios of prize payouts almost exactly the same, paying out $185, $125, $75, and $35 to the top finishers.
-
We're currently 11 for 11 on the night of March 8th working for our draft. I've tentatively booked it for 9pm eastern on that night. Please reach out to me directly with concerns, comments, or conflicts. I figure 9pm may be the sweet spot to accommodate our West Coast and Turkey contingents, but let me know if that isn't the case.
-
So far we're looking good for Friday nights in March. Still waiting on 2 people to fill out the survey, but hopefully one of those works for everyone!
-
How late would make sense?
-
Regarding the auction times, I’d appreciate if it could be late on a Friday or Saturday night EST, since I’m 8 hours ahead in Turkey and could wake up for it. Alternatively, a Saturday or Sunday morning for you all would be an evening for me. Also I’ll have no money so maybe none of this matters.
-
Hey all! I just sent out a Google form to try and get the draft scheduled. I also included a question about raising the league buy-in by $10 to see what the level of interest in that is. Please fill it out as soon as possible (and be generous with your availability pretty please!)
-
The keeper deadline is midnight tonight (EST)! Get those cuts done!
-
Stove is heating up near the end!

::on my fourth straight day of inadvisable levels of holiday day drinking::
“More like Johan Oh-Noviedo, amirite folks!!?
…anyway no I still haven’t responded to your trade offers but I’m getting there.”
-
Arbitration ends tomorrow! Please remember to get your allocations done!
-
(Just joking of course: you have to allocate at least $1 to each team. Davis Schneider's mustache alone looks worth the $1 hit from each of you, to be honest.)
-
Thank you! After 10 years of struggling, I do want to share a couple of the lessons learned from my championship year:
1) I never assigned any arb dollars to my team, and encourage you to follow suit.
2) I must be the league leader in off-season trade offers, and therefore 2023 showed a correlation between quantity of trade offers made and league championships. Look forward to an active off-season!
-
And my belated congratulations to our new champion, Doron! You really poured your GUTS out for this title. I'll try not to be Sour about it as runner-up, but you've truly represented the Best Of High School Musical: The Musical. Well-deserved!
-
Arb is live!
-
Just one update to the record books this year: we've got a new SB record! Congrats to the Disappointments!
-
I like how my season exactly mirrored the narrative arc of my Cubs, right down to monkeyfarting away a playoff spot right at the end. Fantastic!
For those of you who did manage your IPs correctly and landed in a money spot, please email me (jwbixby at gmail dot com) with your team name and your preferred payment method (PayPal, Venmo, etc.) and address and I'll get the $$$ sent out.
-
Hahaha. Well played!
-
Congratulations!!! No Deja Vu this year - A New Champ!
-
many, many congratulations for Julivia Rodrigo's HITS
and their first ever multiplatinum championship!
"Good 4 U" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-
Oh! Well *now* that I know someone other than Kris or Dave is allowed to win the league 😂 Way to go, Doron!
-
Thanks very much! Let's hope it won't take another decade to win another one!
-
Great season, everyone! But especially great season by Doron, who led wire-to-wire and obliterated the rest of the league en route to his first championship! Congrats!!! Also shoutout to Reinheimers, who finished 2nd overall(!!!) in OPL with his team from our other league.
-
Some finish line drama for 💵 4th place!
-
Know how a <100 pitch CG is a Maddux? My namesake should be when both batter and pitcher benches outscore the starters.
-
Also Jaden Noot.
-
Skye Bolt. River Town. Alaska Abney. Adisyn Coffee. Things of that nature...
-
Tink Hence is a real name?
-
Has a stove ever been this hot?!?
-
I think. It's time. For me to just admit I'm not any good at fantasy baseball. I'm not cursed. I'm just bad at it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
-
Gotta admire the trade that’s made to facilitate a team name pun
-
Good run of auctions there, folks. Love to see the market thriving
-
Matt Moore is good again???
-
It seems to be the only way to acquire players this year
-
It may be recency bias, and I know I could go back and actually check, but does it seem to anyone else like we've had a LOT of FA auctions so far this year compared to years past?
