• Well, it could have been worse...Houck's -37 was just barely half of Nestor Cortes' -73 against the Yankees the first week of the season.

• haha...it is pretty legendary.

  SF-Os on April 14, 2025 10:54 PM

• I’ve never seen a team get -47 points until tonight. Whoever owns that team should just give up.
  
  Oh wait, it’s me. 😳

  Fairhaven Bulldogs on April 14, 2025 10:53 PM

• Yes

  Defending for 2025 and Beyond on March 15, 2025 6:45 PM

• So, are all actions open, like trades, drops, auctions, etc.?

  Sons of Pitches on March 15, 2025 6:31 PM

• amen Sons

  Hey Cow Holy Hey on March 15, 2025 3:28 PM

• Family first and always, that is what I say! Hope all is well

  Sons of Pitches on March 15, 2025 2:35 PM

• My apologies in advance. Once I get home, everything will be normal. Thank you.

  Defending for 2025 and Beyond on March 15, 2025 2:33 PM

• Hi Everyone! |Auction draft is today at 1 pm Pacific/4 pm Eastern. As luck would have it, I have an unexpected family commitment I will be returning from at 1 pm. I will still start the auction draft at 1:05 pm to give stragglers a little extra time to get in the room. I will be driving home in or around 1 pm. So I may miss one or more of my turns on putting a player up for bidding while I am driving. I am going to do my best to still bid and start auctions but will likely miss on both at times.

• Hi all -- I'm the commish of another league and we are looking for a manager to take over a team. It's a really good, long-term league with active managers (a few of whom are in this league, too). The team is a bit of a rebuild but a good challenge! :) If you are interested, or know anyone who might be, please let me know. Here's the team: https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/652/team/4527

  Terrapin Stations on February 4, 2025 12:04 PM

• And a reminder that cut deadline is coming up in few days at 11:59 pm Eastern on January 31. Rosters will then be locked until after the auction draft.

  Defending for 2025 and Beyond on January 27, 2025 9:54 PM

• Draft date is set for 4 pm Eastern Time (1 pm Pacific) on Saturday, March 15. Thank you to everyone for their input and flexibility!

  Defending for 2025 and Beyond on January 27, 2025 9:45 PM

• I have been in many leagues, and this one is by far the most communicative, openness to trades, etc than any other. And competitive. Looking forward!!!

  Hey Cow Holy Hey on January 27, 2025 1:52 AM

• I have been sick, which delayed me a bit getting to your messages. | have a couple of message out to owners seeking to clarify their availability on certain dates. Once I hear back on those, I'll post the draft date and time. It should be within the next few days. Thank you.

  Defending for 2025 and Beyond on January 26, 2025 2:19 PM

• Hi everyone...Initially, thank you very much to everyone for being so quick with your responses regarding availability for the auction draft. I run another Otto league and sent the same message at the same time to that league as well and have gotten 2 responses back to date. LOL

  Defending for 2025 and Beyond on January 26, 2025 2:17 PM

• Yes sir. Paydala. I renewed my team yesterday.

  YabadaBadoo! on January 25, 2025 11:26 PM

• Are our league dues still $20, and we use Paydala to pay? I don't remember from last year. Thank you!

  Sons of Pitches on January 25, 2025 4:05 PM

• I'm pretty flexible. Most days can work.

  The Squinty Percivals on January 21, 2025 4:08 PM

• Here are the dates that don't work for me (and this is assuming that the draft would start at 8pm EST): 3/2, 3/4, 3/12, 3/13. Thanks!

  Terrapin Stations on January 21, 2025 12:02 PM

• I might not need to be at the draft due to me standing pat with what I have. I might log in and watch.

  YabadaBadoo! on January 20, 2025 10:40 PM

• I can never do an auction in a Tuesday or Wednesday night due to work. I’m open to anything else though.

  Fairhaven Bulldogs on January 20, 2025 5:33 PM

• Please consider that March 16 at 8 p.m. would be at 1 a.m. on March 17 (monday) for me; if possible I would like to avoid it (i.e. same time on saturday March 15 could work).

  Zaporizhzhia Braves ⚾ on January 20, 2025 4:27 PM

• For work reasons, it is possible for me to start from 1 p.m. (EST) on Friday to 4 p.m. (EST) on Sunday (here EST+6 time).
  I also remind you that from March 9 the EST time changes to EDT: this means that until March 29 in Italy the time will be EDT+5; in this period, it is possible for me to start from 2 p.m. on Friday and until 5 p.m. on Sunday.

  Zaporizhzhia Braves ⚾ on January 20, 2025 4:26 PM

• I am flexible. Being 7 hours ahead of EST would love a 3 or 4 pm EST time but willing to "stay up".

  Hey Cow Holy Hey on January 20, 2025 2:49 PM

• I am flexible, any evening or weekend day.

  Oklahoma Ham Fighters on January 20, 2025 2:32 PM

• I can NOT make that date/time as my hometown league, which I am the commish of, has our 2025 draft the same date/time. I am open to other days/times.

  Sons of Pitches on January 20, 2025 2:14 PM

• Thanks, commish...I can do the March 16, and I'm pretty flexible otherwise.

  SF-Os on January 20, 2025 2:00 PM

• Saturdays or Sundays EST are best for me. I can be flexible on the starting time. The place holder date and time of March 16, 2025 at 8 pm EST is good for me.

  Electric City on January 20, 2025 5:12 AM

• For me the best would be on a Friday/Saturday. I am only busy already on Friday 14th, all the rest would work and i can adjust for the starting time

  The Stugots on January 20, 2025 5:01 AM

• Reminder that 11:59 p.m. EST on January 31 is the deadline for all of your cuts. Your roster will then be frozen until after the auction draft. So be sure to have all of your trades and cuts completed by 11:59 p.m. EST on January 31.

  Defending for 2025 and Beyond on January 20, 2025 1:16 AM

• As a placeholder, I will be setting the auction draft for March 16, 2025 at 8 p.m. EST. It is only intended to be a placeholder date/time for the auction draft in the event that we are unable to find an earlier date/time that works for everyone. So, again, please be as flexible as possible. If we are not able to find an earlier date/time that works, the auction draft will be on 3/16/25 at 8 p.m. EST. I hope and expect it won't come to that, but wanted to give everyone earl;y notice just in case.

  Defending for 2025 and Beyond on January 20, 2025 1:15 AM

• The MLB regular season starts on March 20. So for the time period of Feb. 28 through March 16, please send me the days/times you are unavailable. Please send any time periods based on Eastern Standard Time, not your local time. Once I have everybody's availability info, I will figure out what day(s) work for the draft. Please be as flexible as possible. We have owners across multiple time zones and finding a date/time for the auction is always a challenge. Let me know if you have any questions.

  Defending for 2025 and Beyond on January 20, 2025 1:14 AM

• I am doing a deep dive into my roster and am open to make trades. If you have any interest in my players, make me an offer to evaluate. Looking forward to the 2025 season with this group, as I learned a lot in the 2024 season.

  Sons of Pitches on January 19, 2025 12:44 PM

• Nobody wants Bryce Harper or Trea Turner? I know they’re pricey. I will possibly be cutting them. You probably won’t get them much cheaper at the draft. Make me an offer!

  Fairhaven Bulldogs on January 6, 2025 11:50 AM

• 2 Italians an Israeli and 1 Texan. Howdy ya'll!

  YabadaBadoo! on December 14, 2024 1:42 PM

• Benvenuto, signore "Vacant".

  SF-Os on December 13, 2024 8:58 AM

• Thank you, yes i agree that it is better to communicate in English, also speaking about baseball in italian sounds weird lol. I am from Bergamo btw

  The Stugots on December 13, 2024 7:58 AM

• 2 Italians and an Israeli. Truly international. Welcome.

  Hey Cow Holy Hey on December 13, 2024 7:48 AM

• Ciao e bentrovato in questa lega.
  Hello and welcome. I think it will be very rare to have two Italian teams in the same league here at Ottoneu. I think it is respectful for others to communicate in English among us too. Where are you from?

  Zaporizhzhia Braves ⚾ on December 13, 2024 6:28 AM

• Hi guys i claimed the "Vacant" team, i got back on ottoneu this year after not playing for 4/5 years. Saw the team posted on the community board and it looked interesting for getting back into the game. I live in italy but i can manage to join the auction draft on any time (of course weekends would be ideal)

  The Stugots on December 13, 2024 6:17 AM

• McCullers is on whose team? That's right.

  SF-Os on December 13, 2024 1:23 AM

• This thread is akin to the famous Who's on 1st routine. "Abandoned team, was Fairhaven, now named vacant.... He took over BP team. But Bottom Pheeders and Big Papi are both BP named... what IS the team name? VACANT..... but has no manager.... he dropped Lance McCullers? He is still in the league? Who? VACANT. NO Fairhaven.

  Hey Cow Holy Hey on December 13, 2024 12:59 AM

• Ok, maybe I got it backwards but Vacant was the original team FB took over. But he asked to move to the other open team and renamed it as Vacant.I then abandoned that team and he took over the other open team.

  Defending for 2025 and Beyond on December 12, 2024 7:33 PM

• "Vacant" team shows no owner, while eman1966 is still the listed as owner of Papi's old team.

  SF-Os on December 12, 2024 7:22 PM

• No one on my team is untouchable. Make me an offer!

  Fairhaven Bulldogs on December 12, 2024 7:19 PM

• Bulldogs asked if he could have the Bottom Pheders team instead. So I abandoned what was the Big Papi team and Bulldogs will be taking over the BP team instead.

  Defending for 2025 and Beyond on December 12, 2024 6:08 PM

• Hello Bulldogs! Welcome.

  The Squinty Percivals on December 12, 2024 5:59 PM

• Welcome Bulldogs!!

  SF-Os on December 12, 2024 5:56 PM

• We also need an owner for Botton Pheeders.

  SF-Os on December 12, 2024 5:56 PM
