It looks like we've got just the wrong combination of stuff going on in our lives to make finding a good draft time impossible. Kris is currently looking into finding a proxy to fill in for him. If he can, we'll draft the night of March 12th.
-
Okay, let's try again. I included the last two weekends in February on this one as well. LINK: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/az6AO35a
-
Unfortunately, we're back to the drawing board. We have some unbreakable plans that are lining up inconvieniently. I'll send out another Doodle with weekday nights and we'll see if we can make it work. If not, our best option is probably to have a slow draft using a third party website -- which I hate because it's different from every other year, but also for the additional work I'd have to do to set it up and update rosters manually, but I'd do if need be. Open to any other ideas as well.
-
Probably not a great idea at 4am
-
Don’t want to hang in an Internet cafe for hours with spotty connectivity?
-
I can’t do the dates before 19 March since I’ll be out of the country and without a computer. Can we do the 26th?

Well, we're down to one option left -- the night of Sunday, March 12th. Still a few people unaccounted for, so I'm crossing my fingers that we can make that work...
-
Okay, let's schedule a draft! Seeing as we never schedule the draft for a weeknight anyway, I'm only including times for the four weekends leading up to the start of the season. If, god forbid, we can't find a time that works for everyone, we can go back to the drawing board and consider weeknights (but I'd rather see Jacob deGrom play for the Texas Rangers than deal with the logistics of that, so please be generous on this one).

I think it probably is! We made a lot of cuts this year as a group. Nice job everyone remembering to get their roster's legal! I'll send out a doodle or poll soon so we can get a draft date scheduled.
-
Is this the deepest free agent pool in like 12 years??
-
Is Marsh going to win the last-cut-of-the-year award, or do we have a dark horse drop planned in the next 2 minutes??
-
Reminder that the cut deadline is TONIGHT at 11:59 PM Eastern Time. Get those cuts done today! Don't be like me that one year that I just totally forgot and had to petition to league for permission to make shame cuts the following day.
-
All dollars are in! Good work, league. If you make any adjustments before midnight ET tonight, be sure all dollars are accounted for. Trade season opens up tomorrow!
-
Friendly reminder that arbitration ends on Monday. If you haven't allocated yet (or you want to move a few bucks around before the deadline) now is the time!
-
Welcome to UZR Friendly, Reinheimers! Looking forward to a lively off-season with you and everyone else! Let’s all keep in mind that Yordan hitting bombs off of Robbie Ray is not going to keep happening every day. Plz keep your arb dollars in check, thx.
-
Update: we have a new owner in the league! Please welcome to the Reinheimers to the fold! Also, while you're doing things, allocate some arb dollars. Arbitration season is open!
-
Luckily for me, a decade of floundering perfectly prepared me for the disappointment of sliding from 3rd to 4th within the last week of the season! That being said, my heart goes out to Jake and his 6th place finish....just 0.7 points out of 5th 😬 That has to be the most tightly contested position we've ever had, right??
-
Thanks, guys! Making Wilmer proud is all I ever wanted 😭
-
Nimmo and Foul Pole - please send me an email from the address associated with your paypal account and I'll get the prize $$ sent out.
-
You made Wilmer proud, Dave! Congrats!
-
Been obvious for a while, but congrats on an amazing season Dave!
-
Congrats to Dave on a dominating performance once again! Judge had a lot to do with it but even so, you pulled some big performances from unlikely guys. Well done. 5th most points across all FGPts leagues! 🏆
-
As Dave glides to his fifth title overall and first since 2014, we also appear to have close contests for 2nd and 4th over the final month of the season! Please keep your lineups up-to-date and use this time to make roster moves for the future. If anyone plans to discontinue as an owner, let your friendly commissioners know and we can ensure the league stays as competitive and active as possible.
-
If not changing your team name was a problem, I'd have been booted from the league years ago.
-
What about team names? I just couldn’t quit Pauly D. Getting called back up to the show this weekend!
-
Folks, to ensure we have an active and competitive league, please stay up-to-date on setting your lineups, fill your rosters, and consider making trades or competing in auctions that set you up for future success. If you aren't able to do this, Dave and I can work on finding a new owner for your team.
-
Happy Mark Appel debut day to those who celebrate (he’s 30 now)
-
So many auctions!
-
Ha, I've actually been holding off on nominating him for awhile since I never have $ but I had to join in
-
"He's HOW tall? And HOW old???"
-
I see we all read the same Eury Perez update on Wednesday
-
PSA: if anyone has concerns about fellow owners IL-stashing, please consult with your friendly commissioners instead of resorting to violence
-
Looks like that was the only start of Blazek's career. Oof.
-
Not that he was owned, nevermind started
-
Looks like Eovaldi was close but Michael Blazek actually scored -87 on 7/27/17
-
::turning on phone after a transatlantic fight to check how my team did:: oh my oh god nononono
-
I could be wrong here - and I'm sure a better historian has already podcast this - but I *think* Eovaldi logged the all-time worst Ottoneu start at -69.97 tonight. Dylan Bundy had an impressive -68.20 showing 4 years ago for If Youre Into Witt, Im Out of Witt, but it was from the bench: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/90/live?date=2018-05-08

Hey All - thanks to the lockout, we forgot to do the buy-ins for the league prizes. $25 via PayPal to me, jwbixby at gmail dot com.
$130/$90/$55/$25 for 1st-4th.
-
And Foul Pole Assassins are first on the board! Stop the count!
-
Fresh standings alert! 12-way tie! Good luck everyone!
-
Draft starts in 10! Here's a link to a Google Meet if anyone wants to do a video hangout during the draft! https://meet.google.com/rvr-djvr-agf
-
Reminder: our draft is Saturday at 8pm eastern time!
-
BASEBALL IS BACK!
-
Okay! I'm setting the draft for March 26th at 8pm eastern time! Now we just wait and hope the league and MLBPA can work it out sooner rather than later...
-
Drafting on the 26th may be the best option given everyone's time constraints on the 27th. Do we have anyone who couldn't make an 8pm draft on Saturday the 26th?
-
8pm would probably be too late for a work night for me, unfortunately :(. 7pm even is pushing it. If people are wanting to do 8pm, could we at least do a weekend, like the 26th for example?
-
I've had a few requests for a slightly later draft time due to bedtime responsibilities for several of the dads among us. Would an 8pm EST start time be too late for others?
-
Okay! The draft will be the night of March 27th! Thanks to you all for responding to the Doodle. I'll be getting in touch with a few of you individually before we lock in the exact start time, but expect around 6 or 7pm Eastern Time.
-
So far we're 10 for 10 on Sunday March 27th, so that's looking like the day (with Saturday the 26th as a backup).
