for what it's worth - I'm not a fan of these outgoing loans on every trade, particularly this early in the season. not going to meddle, but it seems to me that part of the decision on whether a trade makes sense is whether you can finance it and/or which cuts need to be made to get it done. a few bucks to level a trade out is one thing, but simply covering the difference in salaries seems problematic to me. but maybe I'm the only one.

Just trying to keep things interesting around here. Always willing to consider trades. Might even make a few more. Lob those offers in.

Hey we have a trade. I am encouraged. I might just make an offer or two, at least to these two guys.

Just guessing, Redlegs: in this league the good closers are gold. This league loves RP; their only significantly advantaged stat is Saves.

He's Niv. And he will have 2 gripes. 1) Not many Roto players want a month of H2H in Sept, and 2) the software work to offer more choices H2H of how to hold Roto championships would not be simple or cheap. And for me, 3) you can't allow unlimited SPs in playoffs or the crafty streamer will usually overwhelm a smaller but better pitching staff. We Could agree to hold No Playoffs in 2026 before both the 2026 draft and the first MLB game somewhere way over the water: problem solved.

We all hate the playoff scoring changes. Has anyone reached out to Nev from Ottoneu?

Nada can be done now but it strikes me as odd to have playoffs in a game that is essentially a marathon of fantasy baseball. Also changing the scoring rules even a little is close to sports heresy. Sure, NBA and NHL playoffs are kicked up more than a few notches, but all the rules are unchanged. Aside from Survivor, I can think of no athletics involved contest where the rules change at the end. Next year, perhaps no playoffs? Room for discussion for sure.
-
Back to our combination of Roto and H2H: Playoffs are an option only available pre-draft. "VII. PLAYOFFS
Leagues may choose to have playoffs to determine their league champion. This is determined by a league setting that can be updated during the offseason but cannot be changed once the MLB regular season and Ottoneu regular season start."
If you want playoffs in a x Roto league those playoffs Appear to have to be in Fangraphs Points. I think FgPts approximates 5X5, but

Book of bo is correct on hp issue. Essentially 1 game per position per day of season without playoffs counted. Playoff system is what it is. No way to change that I've been able to discover. Can change scoring system for playoffs but not the system itself.

Scoring looks like Roto with playoffs as in H2H? There's a 5 month season, and then the winner is he who has the best last four weeks. Does that actually work?
-
This league does a two part season. Regular season and playoffs. That’s why the GPs and IPs are less. Regular season ends like 4 weeks early for 4 weeks of playoffs. At least I think that’s right
-
The Games Played feature on my lineups page shows the maximum number of games played to be 135, and IP 1250. Surely neither is correct. Yeah, we missed a very few games, but nothing like 27 or 250 IP. Have they been hit with big tariffs?
-
friendly reminder fore the new folks at the outset of the season - keep an eye on the games and innings limits as the season progresses. always seems to catch some folks by surprise when they run out of catcher eligibility or innings for pitchers because of too much churn and burn through the first half of the season.

I do believe that rule you ranted about for years was one I inherited from your reign as commish, which ended because you seemingly got yourself fired for being late paying league fees. No idea how I came to be commissioner; just noticed new powers randomly one day. Looking forward to a full season of this spunk from you though. Keep it coming.

Smh...simpletons...League History.
A. Book of Bich💩 has 6 pitchers with an ERA of above 4 and the only guy who has a save on his roster has an 11+ ERA.
B. The only reason I'm not already leading everything was because Lord 💩 Scoop screwed the pooch again and had the draft after Oprning Day.
C. When I ruled as commissioner, I ran place Kenesaw Mountain Redlegs style. It only took two years and losing 800 different managers to get Lord 💩Scoop to change the free agent rule.

Not sure how to end it. Paused and moved everyone to "done with draft" status. Might just have to wait a few hours. Will investigate in the morning if nothing has changed.

Skip has done background checks on his carryover roster including high performers priced above even their own exalted productive values. There are quite a few very good players now on the FA rolls. Check 'em out! Let the bidding wars begin for Judge, Soto, and Mookie, et al. $70 is not too high for superstars!

skip, you're good homie; the deadline is still the deadline. i just don't want anyone flirting with it if they don't have to and inadvertently missing it. as long as you know what you need to do and when you need to do it, you're all set.

Hey guys, if you have Tmobile, you can have mlbtv for free. Download the T Life app (used to be Tmobile Tuesdays) and you click redeem, enter your email, login or create an account, then you're good. I want as many people as possible to see as many games as possible, so I can have some competition this year.

Skip has been traveling while following the rules set forth by Lord Porkchop. "Please make cuts by Thursday at noon eastern. I will lock rosters prior to the draft at that point." Thinking I had more time, I have not rushed. I will get it done tonight, If this campground's wifi holds up. Otherwise, count on me before dark tomorrow. Today's a Tuesday; manana is Wednesday. I will comply with Lord's rules. So let it be written. It will be done.

everyone good on salary except skip caray; hopefully he makes the tough decisions necessary by tomorrow. looking forward to draft in a few days.

i think i've got one new owner on board (he's mulling which team to choose, but should be with us soon enough). actively working on others. however, if any of you have candidates let's get them a team as soon as possible (Chaunceys, I think you mentioned someone?). ready to rock and roll, but need to have a full league to do it.
worst case, we might have to chop down to 10 teams, but obviously want to avoid that if at all possible.

final draft date move - going with the 28th at 8PM. hopefully that gives everyone time to prepare, sort out any scheduling, and allows us to fill the last few spots. on to opening day!

I can do Friday (3/21), Thursday (3/27), or Friday (3/28). I would just request a late start 8:30 pm ET if possible. I have a baseball game on 3/21 and 3/27. Friday (3/28) could be earlier if need be.

Also, opening everyone up for one more round of cuts; I'll close this prior to draft. Please note that once you hit the cut button, it locks again. So if you're planning to cut multiple players, do it in one swoop via the "cut players" tab on your team's page.

how do we feel about either Friday night draft (3/21) or Opening Night draft (3/28; watch while we draft sort of thing)? Certainly want to get everyone on board, so trying to juggle these schedules.
