it is brutal out there. I feel like its way worse than normal
-
Stats that interest only me: Only a couple of our teams have fewer than 4 pitchers on IL. May have 5+. And Art3mis and Ace are outright managing triage units. To the Waters of Lourdes!

Ah, it's all good, Cigar. There isn't any real way to change W-L records after the fact. It's a long season! I just thought it was good to post here in case it happens again. Baseball has really extended the scoring change window now. Poor Nolan Schanuel lost a 36-game on-base streak (last season into this) when MLB changed a stat from 6 days previous! He was only a few games shy of what would have been a record for starting a career.
-
Thanks for the clarification, Northern! Much appreciated. Also: that's tough if you miss the playoffs by one win, especially if I make the playoffs by one win. Stay tuned!

RULES NOTE: So, Cigar and Northern had a super-tight battle in Week 1, with Cigar taking it. BUT, the schedule now shows Northern winning Week 1 by 0.13 pts ... without updating the H2H record. This is correct. An MLB official scoring change might have affected player fantasy pts, but in keeping with Ottonue rule III.e Cigar rightfully retains the win. Stats update, but H2H records can't be changed after the fact. (Imagine the chaos it could cause during Ottoneu playoffs.)
-
Most of my guys are available, only problem is they’re a bunch of bums. So think about it this way: would you rather have dudes on the IL or some scrubs who actually take points away from you?
-
Hahaha! Yes. I've fired my training & conditioning coordinator.
-
That's weird, only 3 of my 18 SPs are currently unavailable. Maybe you guys should focus on your training staffs?

I hear ye. Pitching is brutal this season, with all the injuries. I've got 5 pitchers down (which seems pretty normal in our league), you have 7 arms on IL, and Ace has 10 on the shelf!
-
Marcell Ozuna is just sitting on my bench with his 89 FPTS cause i have no spot to play him, who wants him? I'm looking for SP.

yesssss, this name is finally working yesssssss!

Coming down to it here in this Jurassic-sized opening "week" of H2H matches! Vestal Virgins 'roided up this off-season and is way ahead on home runs (8 more than the next nearest). Alameda might crack 1100 pts for the round. And Cole World is banking pts while having three open roster spots. He's acting like Gene Hackman in Hoosiers sending out only four guys: "My team's on the court!" I'm desperately trying to hang on to my matches, but Cigar keeps closing and Jhoans surpass

Yandy Diaz available for SP

IT’S HERE!!!! *elmo fire gif*
Please commence your wailing and gnashing of teeth about how teams don’t set their rosters early enough.
-
Get those lineups set, friends! Games resume on Thursday.
-
Sorry, probably should have included *cries*
-
*wakes up* *checks box score* *goes back to sleep*
-
Looks like someone is awfully hungry for pitching, by the look of the auction pool!
-
Did everyone remember to set their lineups? The first game is well underway in South Korea!
-
Thank you, friends, for the draft! Good fun. A few expected bidding wars and some entertaining $1 buys for teams when we were all too tired to fight. :) Good luck on the season!
-
Hey y'all draft starts in ~ five minutes. Just click Auction Draft at the top of the page to join.
-
Don't forget: our draft is TONIGHT, Monday, March 18, 8:00 pm EDT!
-
Draft is tonight at 8 PM eastern! See you there! Last one to draft Lane Thomas is a rotten egg.
-
folks, it's draft season, if you can't make yourself available to do a draft in the weeks leading up to the season, then please let us know that you'll be fine w/auto-nominating, & you'll fill your roster out after the draft at your leisure. there are only so many days left in the month before season starts 3/20.

I have added two more timeslots on Tuesday, March 5th. For what it’s worth that is the night before I leave for vacation and that timeslot will certainly make my wife mad. Point is, I’m trying to make as many options available as possible!

I have set the auction time for now for March 18 at 8 PM. That is when 8 of 12 of us can be there. For the folks who marked that as a no, please reach out to me ASAP to confirm that you absolutely 100% cannot be there. I’m really sorry if this is a time you said you cannot make, like I said, getting 12 people into the same Zoom room at one time as a tall ask. If you don’t want to do it at that time, I would ask you to take the Doodle poll again and be as generous as possible with your time.
-
Please vote on the poll with the updated auction times/dates, including this weekend.

(forgive the spamming, yes I copied and pasted)
Me and Raghav have vacations running right through prime auction season, so I had to open up some new times, which are coming up fast - the first would be THIS Saturday the 2nd. So please please please vote (even if you voted already, you need to vote again, sorry!) by this Friday 3/1. Auction draft is the best day of the year (DON'T DISPUTE ME) and we wanna make sure everybody can be there.

For anyone setting up their draft targets: If you are looking for international players with no previous MLB experience in the Ottoneu draft pool (e.g., Yamamoto, Imanaga, Matsui), they are listed in the Minors.

Hey hey, we’re a month out from the start of the season. Please vote on the Doodle poll if you haven’t yet!

We don’t have a date yet! (The one on the top of the page is a placeholder.) But we’ll be sending out a Doodle poll soon.

MLB season starts 3/20, I believe. Do we know when we want to draft?

If anyone has an offer to help me free up some cap going into the draft, can't say I'll jump at it because I'm mostly standing pat this offseason, but shoot me an offer!

Hey everybody! Keeper deadline is tomorrow - meaning you have to have them done before midnight tomorrow - and a bunch of you haven’t made your cuts yet! Get em done or risk a shitty draft!
-
Yo! The KEEPER DEADLINE & the Ottoneu DUES ($20) are nigh! January 31. Get ye to Ottoneu, make your final roster cuts (before fighting to get cats back), and start paying mildly obsessive attention to spring training. Baseball is coming!
-
Happy New Year's Eve, all! Hope you're having a happy holiday season. Keeper deadline is one month away, January 31st, 2024. Please make your cuts and assign your keepers before then. See you in the new year!

Hey hey, in addition to Theo, the owner of Clintonville is stepping away. We’ll miss you, Mike! (We’ve already filled both vacancies btw. The new owners will be joining soon.)
-
Alright everyone: You may now begin handing guys their walking papers. Keeper deadline is January 31, 2024!
