Woohoo!!! Tied for first!
-
Now that's what I call a blockblister.
-
Goddamit. Between my 2 leagues, I've lost 4 consecutive coin flips.
-
Bonus points if you buy both!
-
Alright, who decided to be the joker and concurrently nominate the Diegos Castillo?
-
Just took a look at it. Clarke Schmidt and Josh Winder are 2 and 3. Waiver Boys!
-
Did someone just see Eno's tweet? Lol
-
Shocked to see Moustakas and JD Davis still on waivers. LOL
-
Literally can't believe i accidentally nominated Niko Goodrum lol
-
The quesadillas I made were awesome, so watch out: I'm on the top of my game for tonight.
-
Glad to hear it. It seems each year the varying time differences and work commitments get increasingly difficult to accommodate, but things always seem to work out. There's probably a life lesson in there somewhere.
-
Oh junk is the draft tonight?! Well, in a turn of holy fate, I don't work tomorrow (meaning I don't have to be up at 3 a.m.) which means I may just be able to participate live wit the $3 I have to work with
-
Looking forward to the draft, folks. I'm gonna get some serrano braised chicken thigh quesadillas going for this evening. Can't wait for either!
-
Thank you everyone for participating and accommodating. If only we could get as much cooperation from the MLB owners.
-
Hi everyone, I'm pleased to announce that we now have a date and time for our 2022 auction draft. It will be held Wednesday 30 March at 830 PM Eastern time. Thanks to everyone for providing their availability and to Ephs and Syndergaardians specifically for their flexibility. I hope everyone is equally pleased as I am to have come to an agreement on a date so close to the intended date for Opening Day.
-
If anyone subscribes to MLB.tv, today is your last day to cancel before it auto-renews tomorrow. No sense paying full price when the league is still considering cancelling games.
-
Thanks for everyone who has provided their availability so far. Still waiting on Sonny Gray, Ephs, and Escape Pod.
-
Bed time for me is usually 8 p.m. (I've shifted to working mornings with my new gig) so I have a lot of Thursday/Friday nights available
-
Ideally we'd like to get a date reserved because the OttoNeu system can only support so many live auctions at the same time. My worry is that if we don't set a date now, the open time slots will get snapped up and we'll be left choosing from dates that don't work for everyone. If Opening Day ends up being pushed back, we will take a second poll and reassess.

date that all are available. I'm trying to be optimistic and not showing any days after the currently scheduled opening day (although that seems highly unlikely at this point in the negotiations). Thanks in advance to all those who fill out the poll quickly and for those who don't, I'm coming for you.
-
Hey everyone, a couple days late on the draft Doodle poll. Per usual, we expect the draft to take about 3 hours and are looking at an 8(ish) PM EST start time to accommodate those in the midwest and west coast. If you have consistent issues with making an 8 PM draft time, please let me know and I'll see what we can do to make something work. The 8 PM start time is approximate and can shift by a half hour or so to meet everyone's needs. Please fill out the poll and we'll select the latest
-
Talked to Syndergaardians over email and helped him get his roster legal again. Next step is scheduling the draft!
-
Thanks to all who submitted their cuts on time. Looks like we have 1 illegal roster. Syndergaardians is a newbie, so DJIB and I will get on top of that and try to resolve it ASAP. Stay tuned, as we will be circulating a poll to suss out draft availability soon.
-
2 hours to go! Just a reminder, your team must be at least ($1 x # open roster spots) under the $400 cap to be legal.
-
24 hours remaining until the deadline! Please make sure you finalise your keep-cut decisions by midnight eastern tomorrow. If you're planning to take things down to the wire so you can see how the free agent pool develops, please consider setting yourself a reminder or alarm so you don't miss it.
-
Final update: all 12 owners paid! That hurdle is officially cleared, so the next deadline to keep in mind is the (new) cut/keep/trade deadline of 15 February. Thanks to all!
-
We've heard from syndergaardians, the rumors of his demise have been greatly exaggerated. We should be at full strength going into the 2/15 cut deadline.
-
If any of you have owner recommendations, please let Urbina and I know and we can make arrangements for the transition.
-
Alright, we're down to one team left to renew. It's Syndergaardians, who has not logged in for ever a month. He's also not acknowledged mine or Urbina's attempts to reach out over the past couple weeks both on the Ottoneu platform and to his direct email and Reddit. If we don't hear from him before noon EST on 1/29, we are going to vacate the team in an effort to fill his spot before there's a bunch of teams vacated after the deadline.
-
We're close to a full renewal slate. Thanks to all owners who have already renewed, to the two the haven't you have until 11:59 PM EST on January 31, 2022. If you have not renewed by that time, the system will lock you out and mark the team as available.
-
For those who are having trouble figuring out how to pay your dues for the 2022 season like I was, you need to go to the main Ottoneu Dashboard and select "Extend Your Dynasty". The Dashboard can be accessed from the dropdown on the top left of this page. To reiterate what Urbina just said, you must pay your dues for the 2022 season no later than January 31, 2022.
-
To reiterate, THE DEADLINE TO RENEW IS STILL 31 JAN. DJIB and I will be following up with owners in the next couple weeks to make sure everyone meets the deadline. In the meantime, if you've already decided to renew, please renew ASAP and save us the effort.
-
3 key points, quoting from the post, "1.) This change is only related to the current lockout and has no bearing on future keeper deadlines. 2.) This is not a final keeper deadline; I’ll continue to monitor the negotiations and see if a second delay makes sense towards the end of January. 3.) This does not affect renewal dates for Ottoneu Fantasy Baseball."
-
This just in, keeper deadline has been pushed back to 15 Feb. It has been updated on the tools page. Hopefully Niv adds a banner soon so people can see this on the homepage too. https://community.ottoneu.com/t/keeper-deadline-adjust-if-lockout-occurs/10611/3?u=nivshah
-
It may be the doldrums of January combined with with the lockout, but don't forget that the cut deadline is coming up in three weeks! All indications are that Ottoneu is holding the 1/31 deadline, so please make sure you are getting your rosters in order. Once we get to the cut deadline we'll start looking at draft dates, hopefully with some worthwhile advances in the lockout discussions.
-
To enjoy during the lockout - and also to minimize how long this will take. Think 3, 4 hour draft over 2-3 months.
-
Sonny Gray, TTBNL and Pesky Bellhorns (all guys from my espn league) finally convinced everyone to come over from ESPN to try otto. We are going to try a Points League. We are starting from scratch. We suffered 1 member quitting but they were pretty borderline anyhow. Figured I would check in to see if anyone here would like to join before moving to slack. It’s a good group of dudes and pretty competitive. Looking for 1 member. We will spread out the draft over a few months to give us something
-
It's the opposite setup RBI Baseball used to have, where you could play as Mark McGwire but he just played for OAKLAND.
-
From what I understand it is not a strategy on their part, but a legal necessity. But you are correct and the way the players are using the blank photos is brilliant as a rallying cry for the union and a message to the owners that they have no product without the players.
-
That makes sense. But regardless of their reasons for doing so, it really highlights how the league has nothing to offer without the players.
-
The removed references and pictures is probably related to licensing; without an agreement in place, they can't use the players' images and likeness.
-
Interesting strategy by MLB to remove all references to the players from the website. I think they'll find public opinion on labour issues has shifted somewhat over the course of the pandemic.
-
I think we need to petition Niv to increase the salary cap. It's only fair to the players.
-
Buckle up, fellas. Could be a long lockout. Still, I am somewhat encouraged by the willingness to spend we've seen from owners in the last few days. Makes me hope an agreement can be made before spring training.
-
Now, with the current MLB lockout, I'm assuming that we are all standing in solidarity with owners and refusing to trade with other teams or look at our rosters until these salaries fall a bit, correct?
-
You still alive @Gurriel?
-
Hmm, good to know! Already have a couple of interesting offers sent my way
-
Welcome Fletcher, glad to have you on board!!! Congrats on the Braves taking home the banner. Good news is that Twosies has Acuna on the block, time to start collecting Braves.
-
Welcome to the league!!
