Aw, man. Too sad to even open an email with the subject line "The Perfect Fitts has cut a player in Keep or Kut" right now.
-
I appreciate the guidance! Ottoneu has some interesting quirks -- I like them, but I also have to get used to them...
-
Yup - you can always leave a roster spot empty so that it won't be scored and won't take up a "game"
This is most obvious with catchers because if you leave two active ones in there you'll cap your games played out by like August, but it can impact you with other slots too if you play it like a daily H2H where you're always filling spots. As mentioned, if you scroll down on lineup (or standings) you can find your games played pacing
-
Thanks! So, are we allowed to have one of the catcher spots empty so that it doesn't score both?
-
Both are scored. You can use up to 162 total catcher starts over the course of the season, so you need more than one catcher if you want to max out your catcher playing time but it's up to you how you get to that total. If you scroll down below your lineup, you will see how many stars you have accrued from each position so far, as well as the limit for each position and your current pace
-
Question about catcher scoring? I understand that we have two catcher spots on the roster but that this is not a 2-catcher league, but I'm not clear on which of the two catchers (or both) is scored if I have two catchers on the roster filling both spots? Does scoring count only from the guy in the C1 spot? Is it kind of Best Ball-like where the better of the two catchers is scored for a day? I haven't been able to find an answer, so thought I'd seek the wisdom of league mates. thanks
-
OK, that makes sense. Thanks.
-
Yes, the idea is that it mimics an MLB team - they have a 40 man roster to fill out an active roster every day. If a guy goes on the 10-/15-day IL, they replace them on the active roster with someone else already on the 40 man. If a guy goes on the 60-day, then they get an extra 40 man spot.
-
Hey guys, since I'm the newbie, I just wanted to make sure I'm understanding everything right. Do I understand the rules correctly that only players on the 60-day IL count toward our IL spots? So even if we have players on the 10- or 15-day IL, we would not get any roster flexibility so we wouldn't be allowed to replace those guys on the roster without cutting someone? Thanks for the clarification.

Posting this here in case anyone is interested or knows someone in search of a league.
My other is still struggling to finds owners. We unlocked teams, so owners can just grab them. The regular season winning team is still available and several other good teams open. Just bad luck that a bunch of teams left. It is a great league. $75 buy-in, $75 side pot. Regular season, then a H2H playoffs. Regular season and playoffs payout.

Thanks! Oddly enough I was most happy about the relievers, and Tiedemann.

Nicely done on the post auction free agency blur, Pete. Getting Alcantara for $1 is a steal. Not to mention some other nice buys you got.
-
15 minutes! See you all soon!
-
2.5 Hrs to Draft Time y'all!! get that prep work done :)
-
Reminder we draft at 9 pm ET tomorrow! Looking forward to it!
-
14.5 hours to get cuts and trades done
-
hey all - just a reminder to renew your teams on the dashboard and get all cuts/trades in by 1/31!
-
Thanks!
-
That happens right after the season, usually within a day or two of the last games.
-
I have a possibly dumb question, but I haven't been able to find a clear answer in the rules documents. Since I joined right at the end of arbitration, I'm not sure when the yearly salary bumps are (the yearly increase of $1-2). Does that happen right after the last season ends? Right before the next year's auction? Thanks!
-
Friday works for me y'all
-
In honor of my team's trades getting trashed on the K/K pod this week, I have changed my team name to reflect my fame. Cheers! :)
-
It looks like Friday 2/7 at 9 pm ET is the leader. Please speak up soon if you absolutely can't do that but think that's likely it!
-
Saturdays are totally out for me due to work :( I can make Friday the 7th work though. Weds the 12th could work in a pinch
-
I should be able to do any of these dates.
-
I am unfortunately unable to do the 12th because of my job. I can make the 7th or 8th work though. Sorry.
-
I should be able to make any of those.
-
All are fine with me!
-
Last year e auctioned 2/8 (Thursday) at 9 pm ET. Options for this year (please tell me if any are totally impossible for you):
February 7 (Friday) at 9 pm ET.
February 8 (Saturday) at 9 pm ET.
February 12 (Wednesday) at 9 pm ET
Hoping one of those works so we can get the in early!
-
Would be willing to include Yelich, Lowe, or Garcia in a deal as well.

A little late but welcome Anthony!
-
Howdy Anthony, and welcome :)
-
Thanks, glad to be on board! It looks like I have some work to do to brush up on all the details of this league. Looking forward to the challenge.
-
greetz and welcome
-
Welcome to the league!
-
Hey all, please welcome Anthony who is taking over the team Bowl of Chourios. Welcome Anthony!
-
I'm pretty stretched but will stick it out for next year
-
Still in for next year.
-
Anyone other than Bowl of Chourios stepping away? Looks like we should have a pretty strong group returning! And if you have any thoughts on a good manager to step in for BoC, let me know. Only requirements are that they're good people and they they promise to listen to every minute of every episode of Keep or Kut (second requirement is negotiable)
-
Congrats to the champ! My apologies to everyone - I took on more leagues than I could handle this year, so I'm gonna bow out for next year, but I'm hoping the team has enough future assets to not come in last next year!
-
Yes, congrats to GunnarFights on the Championship! Also to St. Ann's and Pete's Team for very strong seasons.
-
Thanks! Almost gave up there. Weird but fun season!
-
Congrats to the GunnarFights on an hell of a season. Much deserved title
-
Machado and Cole otb among others
-
Willing to part with $5 Josh Lowe, $8 Francisco Alvarez (probably two most attractive pieces, but also willing to move Diaz, Pena, Irvin) for a stud power-hitting middle infielder.

Anyone want to take over another 4x4 team? I have another league with an MIA manager. Team is already paid for the year. DM me for more info.
-
So I think there is a direct correlation between my cutting L.Gurriel on the 20th and my team being in last place. ( daily face-palm )
-
yeah, that should be fine. only four of us in the draft room so far. hopefully everyone else will be here sooooooon
-
Hey yall - so the conflict mostly worked out but I’m running very slightly behind - my GPS says I’m getting home at 859. Any chance we can delay the start like 3 minutes for me to make it inside?
