Wow! The auction results for Brayan Bello are awesome! Seems like $4 is a perfect valuation lol
-
As a foil to the absolute blockblister I just pulled off with Ephs, I thought everyone might like to know that one guy in my alternate league where I picked up a rebuild this offseason just went rogue and cashed in all his prospects to try to brute force his way to the championship. I just traded him Altuve, Nola, and Stanton for JRod, Baz, and Torkelson. He also swung trades for Scherzer, Trout, and JRam and is now running a salary cap of $627.
-
George Kirby time! I’m so excited.
-
I hope Jonah is a good player and doesn't fumble it when it comes down to the wire :o)
-
My plan was to grab him for a buck so he would make the OPL snapshot and then cut him immediately after.
-
"Bundy allowed just one run through his first 15.1 innings this season, but he's surrendered 15 runs over his last two starts." You're welcome, Urbina.
-
Lol, I learned my lesson the first time.
-
Sorry, DJiB. That's two AAAA Guardians players that weren't nominated by me.
-
So I just found that the same recent promotion glitch that affected Bradish caused me to miss out on 7.5 points from Trevor Larnach on 15 April. But 1) I found it at 3 am Eastern time when Niv is offline and can't do anything about it, and 2) I would still be 0.15 points short.
-
Looks like I'm gonna miss the cut for OPL round 2 by 7.65 points. All in all, it was closer than it should have been considering that my only 3B for the month were Josh Harrison and Kevin Smith. Really disappointing because I put a lot more work into this year than last but whatchyagondo.
-
Thanks, Urbina! Wouldn't've been a big deal if Civale would've pitched competently against the A's but...
-
Sorted
-
@SGRE, I've posted to the community message board about Bradish not receiving any stats for yesterday. Niv is super active there so I'm sure it will be resolved shortly.
-
Kyle Bradish definitely started for the O's tonight but my page isn't showing any of his stats. Anybody know if this is a thing I should report or will it populate later?
-
Damn, Joe lol. That is wild. All I know is this version of baseball sucks in my opinion. Elite pitching performances rule but not at this rate. So boring. I loved the rabbit ball albeit more base hits would be fun too.
-
What's super crazy is that my league leading HR/9 from last year would be just a bit above the 11th ranked so far this year. The ball is dead.
-
Here’s a fun stat. Right now 35% of qualifying major league batters are hitting at or below replacement level. I’m genuinely curious if this April is setting records
-
Those 7 players have combined for .6 WAR so far lmfao
-
Not than anyone cares about anyone else’s team lol just mind blowing how bad everyone has been. Not just my players.
-
It is mind boggling to me that my team with Vlad, Lowe, Olsen, Reynolds, Winker, Robert, Ketel Marte has like a combined negative a 280 obp and a 370 slg. Cmon baseball be more fun than this!!
-
May 8th, 2018. I can pull up the exact spot on Google Maps and post it for all to see. I got home from work, parker my car, and was walking the block or so back to my house. Decided to check my fantasy scores on the way. No outs, seven earned runs. I swore, that day, never again. I've bought in to Bundy twice, maybe three times since then. I can't handle another.
-
Don't tempt me with Bundy!
-
First place baby!!! Insurmountable lead.
-
New ball. Cold weather. Snore! I want Dingys
-
Wow look at that standings cluster. You think that’s cause all our team offenses suck? I’m pretty my team has hit 1 homer in like 10 days.
-
Eloy out 4-6 with a hamstring strain. Considering moving him so I can maintain a healthy lineup for OPL round 2. Any interest let me know.
-
lmao would've been a very good guess! I saw him blast a homer out of the AAA park last week. Most Guardians beat writers comp him to Brett Gardner so I'm most more excited to watch him than have him on my team at the moment. The cornerstone of the Mike Clevinger trade!
-
I would have bet the farm that a AAA Guardians player I've never heard of was nominated by SGRE.
-
Micks, the trade is going to be processed in about 4 hours. If you inadvertantly accepted the offer, please let me know ASAP so I can cancel it. If I don't hear from you and the trade goes through, I won't take any further action.
-
Yes, from the comment it appears as if you may have intended to reject it. Please advise if you'd like me to cancel the trade.
-
DM, did you mean to do that trade? The comment seems...less than enthused lol
-
Yes, being in the same league for more than a decade certainly helps. I just wish I was successful in other aspects of my life as I am with fantasy baseball haha. Very open to changing the league name if anyone has suggestions. I could never come up with a suitable alternative so it just stuck out of inertia.
-
Good Grief!
-
That is great to know. All along I was assuming original founder was a fan of Charlie Brown
-
That is actually a very cool story. Thanks for sharing and no wonder Jeff is so good. He’s got a decade of expertise lol
-
I'll steal Urbina's thunder while he's sleeping in Oceania. This is one of the original Ottoneu leagues and to drum up interest, Fangraphs got "celebrities" involved in some of the inaugural drafts. So this league was founded by Craig Brown, who used to write for Baseball Prospectus, with an original draft date of 3/23/2011. And we just never changed it, but at this point it's kind of a badge of honor. Urbina is the sole remaining owner from that original draft.
-
Does anyone know why our league name is Baseball Prospectus - CBROWN 3/23? I'm just curious if there is an orgin story there, LOL.
-
I wanted him because I have an open roster spot and he seemed like such a hot commodity. Turns out not so much haha.
-
Wow good job all of us for letting urbina get a 1 dollar player he wanted at 5 Lolol
-
Goddamn, after that bidding war on Gonzales at auction, I'm shocked I got him unopposed.
-
Just got back from my first game of the season. Clippers vs. Syracuse Mets. Pretty rough game, prospects-wise, but a rehabbing Josh Naylor had some loud outs, if anyone wants to start that auction.
-
Welcome to the league Sandlots! Look forward to a great season!
-
Thanks for clarifying, Urbina. Was curious about that!
-
We've given Sandlot a round of penalty-free cuts so he can clean his roster of all the marginal keepers Syndergaardians held on to so he could minimise his auction involvement. Notably, these cuts bypass waivers and are added directly to the player pool. So if any of the names he cut interest you, you can start an auction at any time. Unsure if Sandlot can rebid on those guys though. We'll see!
-
Dang. That was nice of you to do that sandlot! Good luck!
-
Welcome to the league!
-
Hello everyone. New owner of the Sandlot Prophets here. Give me a few minutes to get this squad up and running and I’ll do my best to make it and the league as competitive as possible.
-
Hi all, I've just spoken with Syndergaardians and he tells me that he doesn't have the time availability to keep up with OttoNeu baseball. As such, he's stepping aside and we've sourced an experienced owner from the Community message board to take his team over and see it through to the end of the season. While turnover at this stage in the season is hardly desirable, I'm grateful that Sydergaardians helped us through another offseason and put his hand up early rather than stringing us along.
-
Double homecoming!
