No sir, Brothers BC - Just working. Worked at the local CBS station (now work at the local NBC in Cincy). And Rhodes, it’s far different - not nearly as nice as a lot of those SEC/Big 12 stadiums, but still quite nice. But you’re not misremembering at all, it definitely was as you’re describing
-
This is a question for the FSU guys. I'm old but I can remember visiting my cousins in Tallahassee when I was a kid and the FSU stadium appeared to be about 50 rows of wooden bleachers. From the road you could look right through the bleachers to the other side of the field. I remember at the time thinking what a rinky dink stadium. I guess its changed a little bit today. Does anybody go back that far to verify my memory?
-
War Eagle! I may be the only Auburn fan in New England but my aunt was from Birmingham and a Bama fan, my cousin Fletch was from Baton Rouge and an LSU fan, a good friend that I worked with was from Opelika and an Auburn grad who constantly worked on me and won me over. 4 SEC teams in Omaha and none named Tennessee. Butch Thompson is the type of man you want running a team. And Tony Vitello ... ? No comment.
-
FSU alum?
-
Go Noles! Loved number 11. Loathed Junior long before he took the helm. Hated not advancing to the supers, but knew it would take at least that to can Junior. Excited for the change in direction. All the self-proclaimed "insiders" are saying Notre Dame's head coach is heading to Tallahassee unless the Irish win the CWS. I'll believe it when I see it.
-
It also helps when you have skin in the game - Auburn in their second CWS in three tournaments has me extatic
-
I've done nothing but watch the tournament each of the last two weekends and am very excited for Omaha. I didn't really care about college baseball until I, myself, went to college, and then I actually covered FSU for 4 years and they're kind of a dynasty so I really got invested then. It's great.
-
The thing I'm most encouraged about is that everybody is engaged. That's not always the case, but hopefully it lasts all season. By the way, I hope there are some college baseball fans here. The games this past weekend were incredible with the college world series starting this coming weekend. Try to check it out if you already haven't. On to Omaha!
-
right on, its been pretty unbelievable how good my team has been for the 30 day with the studs and duds lineup i have going. The offense has really spiked league wide in May/June
-
Looks like just about everyone had a really solid day yesterday. I went from 6th to 3rd back to 6th all within like 5 days.
-
I had a pretty decent day yesterday with 114 points. But still lost ground to 9 of my 11 opponents. This league is tough.
-
Hoping to get a couple good games out of him for the two days he is on my squad lol
-
The McNeil Carousel continues to turn
-
Arozarena said it best. Plus McNeil is 30y/o for me. Saves me salary in the coming years.
I'm a White Sox guy and I know Sheets has underperformed but if he can figure it out, even batting below, 250, if he can raise his OPS and get 20-25 HR.
Suarez has been pitching pretty well lately. Good k/9 plus the occasional S+HD. $1 is not a huge loss for me.
-
I get it. He's got McNeil at the median price, and that may go up with arbitration. He's also got other young 2B options like Morel. I don't think Sheets is worthless, $1 for a 26yo with 70 power. Hasn't proven it yet, but still very well could come through. Kinda risk a rebuilding team should be taking. I don't know the point of Suarez, he may get some saves here and there.
-
Another head scratcher trade. Two worthless players for McNeil? Why would a rebuilding team give up a very affordable McNeil?
-
Start up that is literally 10 days into competition. Team needs some work but will be a unique challenge. Happy to dm you if you’re interested in more info
-
Yes, is it Start up?
-
Hey gang - anyone got room for 1 more league? I need one more replacement manager in an AL vs. NL dynasty start up
-
I’m in no shape to be playing for this year. Rodgers is 24/25 years old. Fantastic first season last year, hopefully he gets out his slump.
Juran should be up sometime over the summer, kid gets on base with plus speed.
Frank is a depth piece
-
Playing for this year. Verlander probably has two years total left. Rodgers has a good track record and will bounce back and much younger.
-
@shoeless & @bulldog
Can yalls go over the trade reasoning? It just seems really one-sided to me
-
Always love hearing about other Fletcher's on the planet - we are few and far between.
-
Welcome. Its great to have someone in the league named Fletcher since that's my cousin's name although success in fantasy baseball wasn't his calling card.
-
Thanks ACC Bulldogs - and hello all. Happy to be here. Saw the old post about All Nations' naming and can't in good conscious change it. It's officially a legacy brand.
-
Announcement: The "All Nations" Ottoneu Team will now be owned by Fletcher Keel. His handlename is FletchTopper. He is an experienced owner. Welcome Fletcher and Good Luck to All. Play Ball!!
-
Thank you. Great idea.
-
There's interest in All Nations, so: some backstory before the team gets renamed. All Nations was the first integrated barnstorming team in the U.S., formed in Iowa in 1912 by J.E. Gaul and Hall of Famer J.L. Wilkinson. 1913 postcard with history here: https://www.hakes.com/Auction/ItemDetail/223835/1913-GOLDSMITHS-ALL-NATIONS-BASEBALL-CLUB-PC-WHOF-JOSE-MENDEZ-NEGRO-LEAGUE-STAR-JOHN-DONALDSON
-
@ All Nations - sorry to hear. Best wishes to you and your family.
@ ACC - thanks for stepping in as commissioner
-
Sorry y’all busy morning/afternoon.
I knew it would draw eyes but I did this for a number of reasons.
1. Chapman is having a fantastic season, but at 34 and his price I needed to move on to make my team better in the long run.
2. Hernandez is having a rough first month and a half of the season. He’s only $3, he’s a former top prospect and I would rather eat $3 next season
3. I took over a really bad team late last year, I’m looking at the long
-
Wondering the same thing myself.
-
@Chicago - What is your perspective for making this trade?
-
Team: All Nations is now posted on the Managers Wanted Ottoneu Site. If you know a new or existing owner you would recommend, please have them reply to the opening. Thanks everyone, have a great weekend.
-
Thanks guys. I have set ACC Bulldogs as commissioner. I’ll keep setting lineups until you can find someone to take on the team.
-
@ACC Bulldogs - After reading the message board in your Sandlot league, I feel bad for you having to put up with that mess.
-
@All Nations - Sorry to hear about your situation. I hope everything eventually works out for the best.
-
I currently Commish one other Ottoneu League. Will step in as Commish if League is agreeable. Thank you.
-
So, unfortunately I’m going to have to drop out of the league. I’ll be able to set lineups for the next couple of weeks, but beyond that I’m not going to have any attention available for a long time. Sorry y’all.
The team is doing OK and should be easy to flip to a new player.
-
Hey y’all, I need to step down as commissioner. My family stuff has taken a turn and is likely to be all consuming for the foreseeable future.
I’m hoping to stay in the league and will know in a couple of weeks if that’s feasible.
-
Congrats. I'm glad we could be of service.
-
Congrats.
-
Thank you to the members of Did it for all the Rookies, I graduated from today with my B.S. in Materials Science and Engineering. Ottoneu has given me a hobby active in math and optimization techniques, as well as a good school work-life balance. Thank you for providing the fun and competition, I'll be actively seeking jobs 9 to 5 so my lineups will be extra refined the coming weeks
-
If anyone is interested in adding another team, I just created a new points league called May I Have Another. Feel free to join in you're interested.
-
Tepera really let me drown last night lol
-
I think Niv may have deleted those 9 teams because it was a dead league.
-
Create a league. What have you got to lose other than somebody quitting in June and totally screwing up games where the quitters team scores 8 points for the week.
-
Check the rules for Vote off definition.
-
sorry....H2H SABR points
-
H2H....Arbitration Vote Off System too. Have no idea what that means.
-
Would this be H2H points or roto?
