• Hey all, wanted to ask if anyone is joining a long running league that I am the commissioner of. We have one open spot we've been struggling to fill. We've been going for nearly 20 years, and are converting to the Ottoneu site this year. It uses the same FG points that we used in Fat Balls, but is head to head. The draft is scheduled for the evening of Saturday 3/15. Let me know if anyone is interested and I can get you all the details.

• Draft This Saturday at 7pm EST.

• For anyone not in the Slack, Base Invaders is now an open team. I re-added his previous cuts so that the new manager gets to make the decisions. If anyone knows anyone interested in playing, DM me here. Thanks, all!

• As a reminder, the keeper deadline is 11:59 PM EST, 10:59 CST, 9:59 MST, and 8:59 PST tomorrow night.

• Five days until the keeper deadline! I want to reiterate that ZERO exceptions will be made for any team that does not make cuts by the deadline. Thank you, all!

• Hey, all! We're a little over two weeks away until the Keeper Deadline. Please reach out if you have any questions. After 1/31, all cuts will go against your cap and there will be no exceptions made. I show a few teams having not been active since November, so I'm wanting to make sure that we all get this done by the 1/31 cutoff. Thank you, all! I'm looking forward to the 2025 season!

• As of right now, over half the league prefers Saturday 03/01 at 6 PM. This will be the draft date unless someone has a major conflict. Please reach out as soon as possible if this time does not work. Thanks!

• Hey, all! If you can, please vote for your preferred draft times as soon as possible. Many of us are in multiple leagues and the sooner we get it on the calendar, the easier it is for all. Thank you if you've already voted. Link to vote: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/erB0qjwe

• I agree, Counter! It may work the first time, but it's a baseball negotiation taking place. Counter.

• Make counter offers, guys! You never know what might happen

• Trades and cuts are now available! The next relevant date is 01/31 which is the keeper deadline.

• Hey, everyone! For the newer players here, I wanted to make everyone aware of how to better manage your cap space. If you have any player that has >$1 cap penalty against your cap space, you can auction them after it's been 30 days from the initial cut date (or latest auction date). This allows you to further reduce your cap penalties until each player has only a $1 hit against your cap. If anyone has any further questions, feel free to reach out to me! Good luck the rest of the way!

  The Pitching Mechanics ⚾️🔧 on May 16, 2024 2:22 PM

• Also, please be aware that if you start an auction, you are committed to paying at least $1 toward that player. Plan accordingly!

  The Pitching Mechanics ⚾️🔧 on March 26, 2024 3:03 PM

• Please everyone, read the rules section (top right in homepage) on how cuts work. If you cut a $1 player, you DO NOT get that $1 back. You must cut someone greater than $2 to get at least $1 in cap back. I made a few undos on cuts but we need to limit this entirely ASAP and it will not be an option once Opening Day comes. Thanks, everyone! If you have questions, shoot me a DM! :)

• Hey, everyone! Just wanted to send out the link to the rules page. It’s a great help for any and all questions any of the new players may have. Feel free to reach out to me if you have questions too!

• Just a heads up for the first-year players, to get points from a pitcher, they have to be slotted in the role that they're playing. Example: Someone has SP/RP eligibility but is starting the game. You CANNOT put them in the RP slot since they are an SP in the actual game. That's so that you can't stack tons of SPs as RPs. If anyone has any questions, let me know!

• Less than 24 hours to draft day! Please reach out to any of the commissioners if you need help with anything! See everyone tomorrow!
