Somebody finally learned how to add Free Agents. Should've figured this out earlier.

Kyle Hendricks begins his CY campaign on my bench. Good times.
-
Happy opening day! Good luck everybody!

Rosters are updated -- please check your team and let one of us know if you see any issues with the import. If everything looks good then we can open up auctions and trades.
-
FYI - New Cubs hitter Suzuki can be drafted. He’s not in Ottoneu yet but should be soon.
-
Actually, JOIN THE AUCTION NOW (please)! Once everyone joins, I can import keepers, then we'll be good to go for Saturday morning (US Central time).

One more thing. Remember that your roster needs to comply with Ottoneu rules. This won't be monitored during the auction. If you end the auction ineligible, I'll remove your last added player(s) until you're eligible.
-
Gents - Let's plan to start the offline s-l-o-w auction on Couch Managers this Saturday morning. If you haven't set up an account, set one up. I won't start the auction until everyone has joined the room. You can join as soon as I set it up and share the link, which I will do sometime Friday. Initial bids will be for 16 hours, and increases will reset the clock to 8 hours. Remember, do not wait until the last second. Your bid at any time will add another 8 hours to the auction.
-
Now that lockout is finally over. When do you intend to do the draft? Hopefully, soon.
-
Yes, that date is a placeholder. We will once again do an OFFLINE slow auction through couchmanagers.com. If you're new or need a refresher, go there and do a mock auction. We have a max of 188 players to auction, so we'll probably get started soon, maybe kick it off on 3/4. Please remember that upbidding resets the auction clock. There's no advantage to waiting to the last second to bid.
-
I'm pretty sure that's just a placeholder! We haven't talked about auction dates yet.
-
If, which is a big question, the season starts the 29th, why is the draft on the 31st?

Don't forget today's keeper deadline! Cuts after today will be subject to salary penalties. For Man Eating Tarp and Uncle Tom, let me know if you need another round of penalty free cuts since you just joined/renewed. ALSO - Clongowes is now a co-commissioner with me.
-
Oh don't worry I will. I will do my best to raise the level of this sorry excuse for a team and make them competitive.

Haha that was Spirit Stick's team, Bandwagon. Be sure to give him crap, the next time you see him!
-
Opening Day 2021 was the last time he logged in… so that’s what a team looks like after doing literally nothing for an entire year
-
No wonder this guy quit. His team is hot garbage.

Welcome!
-
FYI - Man Eating Tarp has a new owner! Welcome, @cpoe981!
-
Keeper deadline has been extended to 2/15 because of the lockout. You still need to renew your team by 1/31.
-
I'm also in for next season and have no objections to the expanded playoffs.
-
I'm in for the 2022 Season. I will pass on being the commish. I think you did a fine job last year. Also, I am good with increasing the playoffs to 6 teams this year.

Phew! 2021 was a long, challenging year for me. Thank you all for your patience. I'm up for being commish again, but if someone else wants to take over, I'd happily pass it off. Let me know if you're in/out for 2022. We also had a request to expand playoffs to 6 teams. That would mean Teams 1 and 2 would have a bye, with week 1 matchups of 4/5 and 3/6. Any objections?
-
Keeper deadline is jan 31st, just wanted to tell everyone good luck this season.
-
Fun season! Congrats to the two finalist competitors!
I don't think it would have made enough of a difference for me to knock off either of you, but I am sticking to my excuse, that I built my roster around incorrect information about how I could use SP in the playoffs!
-
Thank you! Clongowes had a helluva season, I'm just lucky my hitters all got hot at the right time. Thanks to everyone for a great season!
-
Congrats to Big Fellas! They build up a formidable lead early in the last playoff round and we were unable to get back on our feet. Congrats also to Chubby Unicorns for the podium finish.
-
SP GS remaining should reset tomorrow (Monday of week 2), if I understand correctly. Ottoneu rules say, "Playoff games are not affected by position or inning caps. Playoffs have an option for a per week SP GS cap, which can be configured by the league commissioner." Our per week cap is 9. So you should have 18 starts over a 2-week match-up. I'm open to a 6-team playoff if that's what everyone wants.
-
Well, at least I won't have to worry about paying attention to my playoff matchup next week.
I blame the commish, because when I asked him about position player and IP restrictions in the playoff, he said that there was none, so I built my entire roster around having 1000 pitchers, and overwhelming everyone in a two week playoff matchup with sheer SP volume...
-
And that would mean we have 18 starts total, unless I'm totally misinterpreting something
-
I think I found the answer on the rules page actually: "In two-week playoff games, the GS cap will reset at the end of the first week and before the second week begins on the second Monday in the matchup"
-
I believe it is 10 starts over the entire 2 week round but I can't say I am certain about that
-
I don’t really understand how the GS cap works. Is that per week or is it 9 starts total over the 2 week round?
-
Hey commish, would you consider a 6 team playoff? I am not going to make the playoffs either way, but give more owners something to try for. top 2 teams get a bye, the first week of playoffs, to reward finish during season. Something to consider. I dont know what the others owners think about that.
-
Since Acuna is out for the season, I’d be interested to trade him to a rebuilder for players I can use now. SP preferred but all positions considered. The trade would have to happen today. Let me know if you’re interested and the main piece(s) you’d be sending back.
-
Certainly no collusion. I sent offers to 5 different teams trying to get something for those guys. It's not that easy since the teams in contention already have players earning close to that many points that would make sense to keep next year.
-
(Sorry I’ve been MIA for a few weeks. My dad passed early June and I’ve been busy with those things.) My trade philosophy is to let managers do what they want, even when I don’t understand or like it. There is a majority veto option that you’re free to use.
-
I don't have a problem with the trade. The three guys going to CU will be cuts in the offseason. Maybe UTG could have gotten better value, maybe not. But trading overpriced players for keepable ones when you're out of contention is pretty standard. You're free to veto the trade but "collusion" isn't an accusation that should just be thrown around without evidence. I won't be vetoing.
-

-
First, he proposed the trade to me, so there was no “collusion.” And second, he gets what is arguably the best keeper value at pitcher, going into next year. He’s getting rid of 3 guys he absolutely would not have kept, and getting back one of the better keepers out there. So “one sided” is incorrect, as well.
-
Are we just going to sit back and let Uncle Tom and Chubby slide on by with this one sided/collusion of a trade or are we going to demand an explanation?!
I get it, one guy is throwing in the towel while the other is shooting for the stars and going for it...
How about this, since I’m in 8th and have been for a couple months why don’t I just give my players to one of the top teams and go ahead and hope for the best next year... Thoughs??
-
I just noticed that Man Eating Tarp has not checked in since Opening Day. Maybe we should be looking for a replacement?
-
Open to offers on Cole ($55) and Arenado ($51) for 2022 assets. I'm willing to send loan money with them.
-
If anyone is interested in a player that beats women Ozuna is available to be claimed.
-
Hi! I'm looking to trade Franmil, Conforto, McNeil, and/or Votto within the next few days. All will be back by playoffs so good for contenders. All are priced well (some better than others, admittedly) so good for rebuilders as well. I'd love to keep them all but the injuries are dragging me down in OPL so I need to part with at least a couple. I'll consider any offers, including cap space. Please DM me if interested. Blind offers are also welcome.
-
I think we should suggest an auto-start toggle which is the opposite of auto-bench but kicks in whenever a pitcher is starting against Cleveland, Texas, or Seattle.
-
well, I couldn't commiserate before, as I had Means on other teams and couldn't imagine leaving him on the bench. But today I joined your pity party -- Kluber on the bench! (and a few shares of Giolito benched today) -_-
-
Anyone here ever have a guy throw a no-hitter on the bench? Kinda hurts
-
It's a great day for team Black Houck Down!
-
Opening Day! We've already got some PPD's! Reminder that the Games (135) and Innings (1250) Limits listed on your lineups page are correct and apply to the regular season. They reset once we get to the playoffs. Good luck, everyone!
