OPL update: following the weekend and with 14d left in the round, Larry trails by 86, or 6.1/d. He has plenty of room to catch up as the line to gain is based on a single player, not the best of a group of players. Larry already has won an OPL t shirt by making it to the round of 32, he wins money for each win in the knock out rounds. Go Larry!
-
WU (cont): of note, Bruce and Joe, who inherited crummy teams, are on pace to make the top 6 and be OPL eligible next year!
-
WU (cont): The result is that Jared (max of 1889/1944 hitters games, 1122 ip pace) and Luke (1929/1329) drop out of the projected 6 and are replace by Bruce (1939/1944 hitters) and Joe. Current projected 6: Larry, Tyler, Stephen, Brandon, Bruce, Joe (was Larry, Tyler, Stephen, Jared, Brandon, Luke).
-
Weekly Update: No teams scored 700 last week as there were not 7 days played. Bruce is the only team over 3K for the last 30d. Stephan replaced Tyler in the best hitters (now Stephen, Larry, Stephan), while the best pitchers are unchanged (Larry, Tyler, Jared). The top 6 are unchanged (Larry, Bruce, Tyler, Stephen, Brandon, Joe) but there is some tightening up both within and under the top 6. I changed the projected 6 calculation to account for teams that are below pace for games played.
-
As I understand it, H2H has no innings pitching cap limits, so in contrast to Geezer, I am better situated for a H2H format. Given this is my first year I am not as committed to one format or the other. I'd need to work out how to play H2H in Ottoneu, but always up for a challenge.
-
I would be okay with either format, but I won't participate in a second league until Ottoneu implements a system for sending daily digest emails. The fire hose from this website is already too much across the two leagues I participate in.
-
I am happy with the current format.
-
Personally, I would not be in favor. I have spent two plus years structuring my team for this format and for OPL and given some of the different parameters for head to head I would need to restructure my roster in ways that I think would be detrimental at least in the short term. I would not mind playing head to head so perhaps those of us who are interested could start a new separate head to head league next season.
-
Question: I have been asked about changing to a weekly H2H format next year rather than our current season long format. The advantage being that every owner would have an interest in continuing to participate as the season progresses, as perhaps they could win the next week's game. I checked and changing to this format would not alter our OPL eligibility. Thoughts?
-
200+ for Paul yesterday!
-
I have have fairly healthy lineup, extra SPs and no one in the minors so should be positioned to maximize points so long as my guys play well. If not I still have a t-shirt 😎
-
OPL: Tomorrow Larry starts in the playoff phase of OPL. He has the tough 1st round match up (16 seed vs 17 seed, Larry is 17)....or has the best match up for a low seed. The first round goes a 2 weeks plus a weekend, throught 30 JUL. Go Larry!
-
At the all star break, our leagues all stars (highest scorer at their positions) are: C: Sean Murphy (Tyler), 1B: Freddie Freeman (Larry), 2B: Mookie Betts (Tyler), SS: Bo Bichette (Joe), 3B: Jose Ramirez (Bruce), OF: Ronald Acuna (Stephen), Juan Soto (Luke), Corbin Carroll (Stephen), UT: Matt Olson (Bruce), SP: Kevin Gausman (Stephen), RP: Felix Bautista (Larry)
-
Additional detail for this week: Larry leads the league in AB, H, 2B, BB and SV. Bruce leads the league in IP and K. Tyler leads the league in HR and HBP. Stephen leads the league in SB and HLD. Joe leads the league in 3B. Paul has the least CS. JD has the least HBP by pitchers. Jared has the least H allowed, BB allowed and HR allowed.
-
Weekly update for all star week, no games until Friday. 91g is on pace for getting to 162 so the season is 56% complete. Tyler passed Stephan for hitting last week, so the top 3 hitters are now Stephen, Larry and Tyler. The top 3 pitchers are unchanged (Larry, Tyler, Jared). The top 6 is unchanged (Larry, Bruce, Tyler, Stephen, Brandon, Joe) and the projected top 6 is unchanged (Larry, Tyler, Stephen, Jared, Brandon, Luke).
-
My MI position just gets hammered by real life coaching decisions!
Not next season!
-
Nice to see you end this part of the season on the up, Tyler.
-
When we return, there will be 80d left until the end of the season, so you need to be at 82g in order to have a chance to hit 162 for a position. Stephen, Luke and Jared appear to be short at 2B. Jared and Luke appear to be short at SS. Bruce and Jared appear to be short at MI. Jared appears to be short in OF. Paul appears to be short at UT. Pitching is too hard to determine, but JD, Luke, Jared and Stephan are substantially off pace in innings pitched.
-
Final OPL update for round 3: Larry moved up to 17 so is now officially in the knock out rounds. Tyler had a good day to move up to 43rd, but it was too late to matter. Larry moves into the next round which is a series of 2 week H2H matchups, with the winner advancing and the loser being eliminated. Larry has won a t-shirt at this point, and a win in the first match up wins $200 for our guy!
-
200 for Tyler and the last day before the all star break. Everyone can rest easy (not watch your line ups) for a few days at this traditional (but not mathematical) half way point in the season.
-
200 for Brandon!
-
OPL update (2d left): Larry remained 19th, and his lead dropped from 172 to 169, but with only 2d left his margin went from 57/d to 85/d. Larry is a lock to make it into the final 32 (and win an OPL t shirt). He will be in two week H2H knock out games starting after the all star break! Congratulations Larry!
-
Thanks for that share Larry. It is an interesting list!
-
I have four on the position players list. Each were a surprise to some extent as to how well they have done. Lane Thomas in particular. But especially given that the lefties have had to deal with neolithic lefty-lefty/righty-righty thinking by managers irrespective of their hitting numbers.
-
Interesting article on Fangraphs today on Ottoneu All Stars -- Players with most surplus value so far this season. Some surprises on the list. Link is here:https://fantasy.fangraphs.com/the-ottoneu-surplus-value-all-stars/
-
Huh, my team has 7 All Stars. That kind of surprised me.
-
OPL update (3d left): Larry dropped from 17th to 20th, but his lead increased from 165 to 172. With 3d left that increases his margin from 41/d to 57/d. Larry is very solid. Tyler moved up from 56th to 54th, but his deficit increased from 233 to 262, increasing the margin he needs to make from 58/d to 87/d. Tyler is officially out and will be dropped from the daily update.
-
OPL Update (4d left): Larry had a great day yesterday, moving up from 23rd to 17th! His lead increased from 160 to 165, and with 4d left his margin went from 32/d to 41/d. Tyler moved from 57th to 55th, and his deficit went from 251 to 233, but that is not enough as his margin went from 50/d to 58/d. Larry is pretty safe and Tyler is pretty out.
-
200 for Tyler yesterday!
-
OPL update (5d left before the cut): Larry had a very good day moving up from 28th to 23rd. His lead grew from 44 to 160! and his margin grew from 7.3/d to 32/d. He is now in very strong position. Tyler did what he needed to do, but stayed in 57th. He cut the lead from 302 to 251, and the margin remained the same at 50/d. He kept pace, but needs to continue to do so for the next 5 days, which is unlikely.
-
OPL update (6d to go): Larry had a tough day yesterday, dropping from 23 to 28. His lead dropped from 104 to 44, and his margin dropped from 14.8/d to 7.3/d. Larry has moved onto the bubble. Tyler had a typical day moving up from 58 to 57. He cut into the lead from 376 to 302 and cut into the margin from 53/d to 50/d. He has a steep hill to climb to even get to the bubble.
-
League update: 84g is one pace for 162 so the season is 52% complete. Bruce and Larry continue to run above 100/d for the last 30d, while Tyler, Stephen, Brandon, Bruce and Joe were all above 100/d last week. The top 3 hitters (Stephen, Larry, Stephan) and the top 3 pitchers (Larry, Tyler, Jared) remain unchanged. Joe passed Paul so the top 6 are now Larry, Bruce, Tyler, Stephen, Brandon, Joe). In the projected top 6 (Larry, Tyler, Stephen, Jared, Brandon, Luke) there is no change.
-
OPL update; With 7d to go, Larry moved up from 25 to 23. His lead dropped from 135 to 104, and his margin decreased from 15.0/d to 14.8/d. He is still looking good, but maybe has a little wobble in his gait. Tyler moved up from 63 to 58, and cut the lead from 377 to 376, but continues to lose on margin going from 41.9/d to 53.8/d. Too little, too late for Tyler. The cut occurs after the Sunday games so time is running out.
-
OPL update: 9d to go and Larry has dropped from 22 to 25 (the top 32 make the cut). but his lead has grown to 135, so his margin has increased from 11/d to 15/d. He is looking strong. Tyler has moved up from 74 to 63, and cut his into the lead from 485 to 377, but went from 40.5/d to 41.9/d...sort of staying even but still in need of serious movement.
-
OPL update: Larry has dropped from 20 to 22, but his lead over the cut line increased from 86 to 132, 6.1/d to 11/d. Larry is looking very solid to make it to the knock out round. Tyler, on the other hand, moved up to 74 from 75, and cut his deficit from 504 to 485, but is running out of time as he now needs 40.5/d, up from 36/d Monday. Larry is solid as a rock. Tyler is sinking like a rock.
-
Corbin Burnes? That is a big shed.
-
Right with you. My pitching is going to have to be throttled way back after the All Star break.
-
I am averaging over 1700 IP for season so 1500 IP season cap may make it hard for me to keep up this pace.
-
Larry crossed the 10K mark before the 50% point of the season!
-
At this point, 78g is on pace for 162 and the seaon is 48% complete. Bruce and Larry are over 100/d for the past 30d and the past 7d. Larry passed Stephan as a hitting leader (now Stephen, Larry, Stephan) while the pitching leaders, and top 6 are unchanged from last week. In projected leaders, Brandon has passed Luke (Larry, Tyler, Stephen, Jared, Brandon, Luke). Remember that if you want to play in the OPL next year, you must finish in the top 6 (Larry, Bruce, Tyler, Stephen, Brandon, Paul).
-
OPL update: With 14d to go, Larry dropped from 18th to 20th. His lead over the cut line dropped from 139 points to 86, and his margin dropped from 8.2/d to 6.1, but he still looks quite strong to make the cut. On the other hand, Tyler dropped from 74th to 75th, and dropped further behind in points from 464 to 504, and from 27.3/d to 36/d. It looks very bad for Tyler at this point....not only is he losing time, but he is also losing ground.
-
There must be some tie breaker, and that one is as good as any I suppose.
-
It is not about the rules as written, it is just absurd in principle. One might argue that it should be about allocatable funds, or the color of one's underwear on a Wednesday. Any auction is independent of societal position. We don't have that, but it could be created in a manner. A tie could place the player back in the pool for re-auctioning which would be a fairer approach and those who bid would know that their bids were insufficient. It would then better value that player in the market.
-
Bruce, Larry has it right. In the case of a tie, the lower team wins. You can check this on the rules tab at the top of the page. Since you are in 2nd, you will lose ties except for Larry.
-
Tie goes to team lower in the standings.
-
The auction process is weird. So, if someone matches but does not beat your bid, they win? In what universe?
-
OPL update: 17d to go and Larry jumped up from 23rd to 18th, and increased his margin over the cut line from 4.7 to 8.2/d. On the other hand, Tyler stayed at 74th but dropped from needing 22.4 to 27.3/d. It's not looking good for Tyler.
-
OPL update: 19d left and Larry has dropped from 21 to 23, with his margin dropping from 5.1 to 4.7/d. Tyler has moved up from 85th to 74th, but his need has gone from 21.4 to 22.4/d....so he is falling off the cut line.
-
OPL update: It was a tough week for both our teams. Larry dropped from 11th to 21st (32nd is the cut). His lead over the 32nd team dropped from 5.4/d to 5.1/d. He is still looking strong, but needs to get settled. Tyler dropped from 84th to 85th, but more importantly his need to get to 32nd increased from 9.5/d to 21.4/d. With 3 weeks to go before the cut to 32, Tyler needs a big comeback, starting this week with Alonso coming of the IL.
-
At this point, 72g is on pace for 162 so we have completed 44% of the season.
