3 HR's in .1 innings ouch!!!!
-
It was Hader lol
-
That's got to be one of the worst starts I've seen
-
man those -50's are a real kick in the nuts
-
Go to your rosters page; your total cap penalties are listed($61), so anyone in dark green can be nominated for salary relief but $1 players can't go any lower so don't nominate them
-
It helps reduce your cap penalties. So if you cut someone with $10 salary, you’ll get $5 back and have a $5 cap penalty. After a month, you can reauction (and recut) that $5 player. This will get you $2 back and the penalty is $3 then (penalty rounds up). It’s a way to reduce cap penalties after a month. Rules section V.f and V.g seem to cover it in more explicit words than me here.
-
Can someone help enlighten me about sign and drops. Is there some benefit to signing a player and immediately dropping them? It seems to happen a ton here and I feel I'm missing some sort of strategy.

He's being wasted on my garbage team
-
Alcantara is sick! What do you want for him lol
-
He definitely gets the award for most head to head screwage this season
-
I wanna give a shout out to John Jay... There is no way I should have a record of 6-6 with the second least points ..while his record is only 2-8 with a thousand more points than me.

Now I’ve got Machado to move! Crazy roster turnover going on, don’t miss out!
-
Well, harper is on the block for a win now piece
-
Castellanos on the block, looking for a cheaper OF/SP
-
I’ll also take a starter if you want a bidding war. :D
-
Anybody have a solid starter they want to sell me? I’m open to offers
-
Yeah and I lost, too. Things are shaping up to be interesting for pretty much all spots 1-6!
-
1000 point week for the boys!
-
My bad for over looking your matchup Arthur...you're in thick also!
-
I’m just sitting here hoping to pull out a win against ol 2-7 Supreme. Anything can happen week to week!
-
Lol Ohtani is just coming back down to earth is all, forgetting to slot in Ray yesterday didn’t help. Felt great overachieving for the first half I must admit
-
Some big match-ups for top half teams weeks 11-14(minus Ohtani!). More than enough 2 game swing match-ups, so are we going to see some separation, or are we going to see a log jam at the top? Ohtani has a soft stretch but the bottom half are proving to be no slouch lately and an upset or two could prevail. Weekend matchups to watch-Can J-Jay keep the pace on the final stretch to bring the Scion Div to a 3-way tie for first? Can Woody have a big weekend to drop Ohtani back?...stay tuned kids!
-
Hey all, canceled that trade that went through since it was accepted on accident. Pesky buttons being close together (I assume).
-
Robbie Ray is available. I’d like to move him for an OF. If you want to buy low on him, hit me up.
-
Enjoying the season Need a big win this week let’s go!!
-
Wow baseball buds - this is week 10 of 20. Halfway through. Already thinking about next year.

Still a lot of teams looking they have a legit shot at winning it all, great season so far
-
finally off the schneid, trying to slowly claw back. great game ohtani!
-
This site fucks with your head, it can’t seem to get the totals straight lol Anyhow, Congrats to Perpetual Rebuild what a great back and forth week !!!
-
Psyched we could close the gap to 178... Team showed a lot of heart this week
-
I think you meant third highest scorer *cough*
-
We could end up second high scorer in the league and still lose by 300 this week. Our team also gained about 10 spots in OPL this week to #20 overall. Beat down of epic proportions
-
I’m not gonna lie. Damn, it feels good to be a gangster. But also next week the wheels could come off so I don’t wanna tempt karma with too much celebrating.

I feel like I should report the beating Arthurian Legends is handing out to the authorities.
-
Its all good. Sometimes that's what happens in a H2H league. This past week has been a microcosm of my season thus far. But heck of a battle and congrats on the W
-
Man that was a helluva week JJ...I was ahead for the first part of the week, then you pulled away by 100 Friday night, then Saturday night I go 100 up on you with a big 234pointer. Sunday was bananas right to the end; Lux with the big hit top of 9 for you to give you the lead, and I get a Contreras walk in the 9th to seal the win! I was glad they didn't pitch Kimbrel
I feel for ya bud, but happy to take the W lol!
Til the next match...
-
Guess I drew the short straw this year.,,
-
Damn if I was Jon Jay right now I’d be tearing my hair out. That’s some serious bad luck to start the year man
-
I don’t know about y’all but I have a co manager and Ottonue is always something I am spending a lot of time on everyday. Such a blast.
-
Try balancing OPL at the same time as trying to have best roster here. That’s been a crazy new adjustment.
-
I love this banter. I know it doesn't seem Like it right now, but I really love this league. Ya, I'm confused about how we treat Milb players, but it's all good.
-
And by the way I have 500 more points than you yet am on the verge of going 0-3. Would much rather be in your shoes!
-
When Josh Jung is raking .300 and 25 homers a year you’ll be very happy to have him for $10-$15 bucks. There is a team in another ottoneu league with vlad jr at $21 and acuna jr at $23. The only way that happens is if you get them while they’re minor leaguers and hang on to them at the detriment of that current team. Just make the right MiLB bets.
-
*is NOT as much a dynasty league
-
There are more than one way to skin a cat but ottonue is as much a dynasty league as it is a keeper league. There is definitely a cost to going all in with prospect strategy. But at same time it’s one of the best formats for a quick rebuild.
-
I think it’s fine to express frustration with realizing your strategy for the year isn’t going how you drew it up (check my 5x5 team for underperforming and frustrating!). But yeah the rules are just kind of in place, and you seem to have realized that you need to pivot to a new plan. I think that’s a good thing for the league overall. Everyone should be reassessing how things are going and how they can make changes (which encourages more fun trades!). It’s a marathon. Let’s make it a fun one!
-
It’s how Ottoneu works. You keep saying “why do we” like the league got together and made up these rules when we started. It’s the baseline rules for Ottoneu.
-
Just quickly to respond. Yes, I read the rules guys. This isn't a surprise to me,.. I get the intent of the rule - it is showing its true colors as it pertains to teams like mine who intend to grow from bottom up...... As for my record, you can look at my overall points and realize I'm insanely lucky to be 2-0... Look, people should be able to bring up concerns. I think my point in valid in my very unique situation. It doesn't mean it must be changed, but why do we have Milb slots at all? Cheers
-
i believe Arthurian has said it a few times but reading the rules is MANDATORY for ottoneu. It takes 10 minutes. That being said, just hoarding prospects is a risky strategy even without ottoneu's arb system. But just looking over your roster your team looks damn good and theres a reason your 2-0. Just alter your strategy. You'll be fine
