I expect a lot of 'accidental' looking HBPs, like when Dempster hit A-Rod. Which was of course the furthest thing from an accident.

Hearing Astros owner yesterday made me want to throw a brick thru the tv. "Yes our MLB hitters pretty much knew what every pitch was going to be, but that didn't influence the outcome of the game" Give me a break. I'd love to see opening day opposing pitcher start the game by yelling at hitter "Fastball. Location - high and tight" and the proceed accordingly. If unwritten rules warrant chin music for showboating a homerun, what does stealing every sign and winning world

It was a glitch in the system that somehow processed old waiver claims. If any others occur I will undo them

Bombo - something glitched. I did not make a waiver claim for anyone and it should be impossible to do that anyway. I’ll fix that and send a note to Ottoneu

Owners - I have used my Commissionerial powers to remove players from Maybe This Year's roster w/o penalty (as if he'd met the Jan. 31 midnight deadline), per my earlier message. Everyone's team is renewed, so we are good to go. See you at the draft.

Hi Nathan, I will cut my players as soon as the roster is unlocked.
-
No problems with that approach, Nathan. I just hope Venkat’s busy work/life allow him to participate more actively than the winter foreshadows.
-
As Commissioner, one of the things I can do is remove players from a roster w/o penalties, or remove cap penalties. If Venkat can cut his players in the next day or so, I’m willing to do that (remove cap penalties) so he doesn’t start the season with a handicap. If any owner has a problem with that, let me know.

Thanks for chasing everyone

I had sent a message to him and the other two owners who hadn’t renewed their teams earlier this week, and he renewed his team. No idea why he didn’t cut players. I sent several reminders to owners and the cut deadline has been on the league page for quite a while.

Anyone heard from Venkat/Maybe This Year? He logged in two days ago, but didn’t make his cuts.
-
Love the carnage of last-minute cuts. Should be a good draft.
-
Jim - you apparently need to ban your players from swimming. I hope Suarez recovers quickly.

I just saw on Twitter that Ottoneu has added an auto eject feature for your hitters this year. If you set it, any hitters not starting that particular days game will be pulled from your starting lineup five minutes prior to their game. You cannot do it for individual players, It’s either all Players slotted in a starting spot or none. If you use it, it’s only good for that day. You’d have to reset it each day.

If I’m an Astros opponent who feels especially wronged (Yanks, Dodgers, A’s, etc), I’m going with a bullpen day and drilling a guy an inning. I’ll take the whole bullpen being tossed and suspended, and beg the Astros to come out of the dugout to challenge us. Bring it on.
-
Altuve’s teammates must’ve known he was wearing a wire, otherwise I think they would’ve ripped his jersey off anyway. If MLB has evidence, I would think a huge suspension would be coming. Pretty sad on a player that most everyone roots for, no matter your affiliation.

Big stain on the game that two champs in a row did it by blatantly cheating. Can’t punish them severely enough.

Feeling a bit queasy about the trade I just executed with all these Altuve rumors!

MLB putting the hammer down on Houston. Losing first two picks for 2 years. And then owner fires the GM and Manager. Lots of noises that what Houston did was not uncommon

Nice job on the trades, gentlemen. Though there must be something wrong because Kingery's only involves 2 players. That's not like Kingery.

C&H - that’s a good question. We’ve generally let owners who have a legal roster at season end keep their players until the cut deadline (eg your 60-day IL example). Same for your trade example. Other leagues I know want owners to get to 40 w/in a reasonable time, but we haven’t

Commish: Can I ask for clarification on a league rule give some of the recent discussion. Right now, I have five 60-Day IL players, allowing me to carry 45 players on my roster. In the offseason, can I carry 45 players all the way to the keeper deadline? Or let's say I make a 3-for-1 trade and go up to 47 players? Is that OK? Or after arbitration (and any offseason trades) do I always have to get it back down to 40 within a reasonable time frame? Just trying to understand. Thanks.

Thanks, Mike. I'm sure you'll be challenging for first again next year, after completely revamping your roster. Trader Mike!

Thanks, Bell. But, I have to say, I was looking over my shoulder quite a bit from June on, after you shaved off about 700 points from my lead. I see someone has over 21K on the Global leaders.

The Vazquez thing is truly scary

Definitely know it is not your fantasy baseball year when your best RP was arrested for being a deplorable person. The rest of my team is on the IL or quit several weeks ago. Will come back strong next year with a new team name and new approach (i.e., acquire better players at cheaper cost).
-
And it’s now valid
-
It would be complete BS to take players off my roster when I’ve agreed to make it valid
-
Up to the commish on what to do
-
I think the Commish should allow me to cut whomever I wish, which might not be the ones I just won via free auction, and anyone I cut, who is then in the free agent market, may be nominated for auction by anyone.
-
Here's a link to a partial discussion of this: https://community.ottoneu.com/t/going-over-roster-cap-limits-towards-the-end-of-the-season/2271
-
There has been a discussion of this in the Ottoneu Community... TL; DR is that some (myself included) believe it's "against the spirit of the rules" to do this, but it's also up to the league/commish to set boundaries on this topic. I'd vote against being able to do this and would argue that some of the more recent players should be re-auctioned or awarded to 2nd place bidders.
-
But I will respectfully follow the Commissioner’s decision
