• Thank goodness I picked up Thornton: 3 HRs allowed in 3 innings. LOL

• Whassamatter Yu's trade block has been updated!

  Raganomics on April 12, 2019 10:59 AM

• I think you were right the first time, Mark. I can easily hear O’s fans yelling “Christ, Davis, hit the ball!” Maybe with expletives interwoven ...

  Boys of Summer 2.0 on April 11, 2019 4:33 PM

• It is Lent, of course I meant Chris.

  BomboRivera on April 11, 2019 2:21 PM

• What a difference one letter makes. Khris Davis has two more HRs today and nine already this year, while Christ Davis is 0-2 today and 0-51 going back to last year.

  BomboRivera on April 11, 2019 2:20 PM

• The HR are flying fast and furious this year, Mark. I am highly confident this pace won’t continue, but I’ll enjoy it while it lasts (and thank Jordan for stockpiling the talent).

  Boys of Summer 2.0 on April 10, 2019 12:09 PM

• Hey Nimmo, could your guys stop hitting it over the fence at such an alarming rate?

  BomboRivera on April 10, 2019 8:47 AM

• Calvin and Roy Hobbs's trade block has been updated!

  Calvin and Roy Hobbs on April 6, 2019 9:22 AM

• Bombo - Stanton & Kershaw are two. There are many others (Sano, Gennett, Gausman, Foltynewicz, Heaney, McCullers, J-Up, Aaron Hicks, Betances, Matt Olson, Carlos Martinez, Gyorko)

  Cruzship on April 2, 2019 2:00 PM

• Add on Salvy Perez and the entire Cubs infield last night. Ugh.

  Uncle Baby Billy's All-Stars on April 2, 2019 1:34 PM

• Man, lotsa big names going down very early this year: Severino, Lindor, Murphy, Andujar, Fulmer, Souza, Hunter Green. Who else am I missing?

  BomboRivera on April 2, 2019 12:17 PM

• Finding Nimmo's trade block has been updated!

  Boys of Summer 2.0 on April 1, 2019 9:06 PM

• Well, at least it wasn't on his first pitch. I was being a bit sarcastic. Yeah, it's not bad when you give up a dong and still get 7/IP

  BomboRivera on March 29, 2019 12:37 PM

• Lol, and ditto

  Boys of Summer 2.0 on March 29, 2019 11:24 AM

• you know it's baseball season when Bombo complains about Scherzer giving up HRs (and in a game where he got over 50 pts). :-). And yes I want him.

  Cruzship on March 29, 2019 10:30 AM

• Bombo-you shouldn't be complaining. Look at what my guy Greinke did. He single handedly wiped out almost all the hard earned points my hitters got.

  Taking Back Santo on March 28, 2019 10:09 PM

• My guy Scherzer just gave up a first-inning HR. Who wants him?

  BomboRivera on March 28, 2019 1:13 PM

• You know it’s not your day, when you pick up a guy and he goes on the 60 day DL the same day. Yes, DL. And it’s also RBIs. I’m old-school.

• Calvin and Roy Hobbs's trade block has been updated!

  Calvin and Roy Hobbs on March 24, 2019 9:32 PM

• Well done on both name changes - love the creativity

  Boys of Summer 2.0 on March 22, 2019 5:42 PM

• I also went for a name change given new ownership. Like our namesakes, we will use imagination and never-say-die determination to drive our success.

  Calvin and Roy Hobbs on March 22, 2019 3:12 PM

• In last place with negative points - time to shake things up with a name change (formerly Domo Arigato Mr Joey Votto)

  Raganomics on March 22, 2019 12:30 AM

• McDonaldson's trade block has been updated!

  Calvin and Roy Hobbs on March 19, 2019 9:32 PM

• Welcome to the league! Best of luck this year!

  Boys of Summer 2.0 on March 18, 2019 9:32 PM

• Hey all -- excited to join the league. Assuming you are all OK with the plan to let me add some $1 players then I will submit those to the commish. Once I get a sense for my team I'll definitely be looking to make some trades. Good luck.

  Calvin and Roy Hobbs on March 18, 2019 2:51 PM

• All - I've been contacted by a new prospective owner for McDonaldson, who is willing to take over, pay the $75 even though the draft is done. As a matter of fairness, I have the ability as Commissioner to add players to his team out of the FA pool, and would do that for $1 each to allow him to fill out his roster (within reason). If there are strong objections to that, let me know. If I'd not shut down the draft, I could have re-started it to the same effect.

  Cruzship on March 18, 2019 2:42 PM

• Because his team expired, anyone is free to claim it. We can’t stop someone from doing so. Whether they will I don’t know. I’m still not sure what Joel’s doing. I was emailing with him on Sunday and he did not indicate he was dropping the team - just that he couldn’t join the draft.

  Cruzship on March 14, 2019 5:25 PM

• Can we keep our league at 11 teams? and freeze JOel's team if he is not joining?

  Bazzball! on March 14, 2019 9:20 AM

• You’ve gone above and beyond the call of duty, Nathan. I’m not sure we can retain the numbers to keep the league viable with just this group - we’re running out of alternatives. As hard as it is, we might need to go outside to keep an active ownership group.

  Boys of Summer 2.0 on March 12, 2019 10:13 PM

• I’m checking with Joel again. As of right now his team has expired and someone already asked about joining (randomly)

  Cruzship on March 12, 2019 12:43 PM

• Where will Kimbrel sign? https://www.strawpoll.me/17595053

  Uncle Baby Billy's All-Stars on March 12, 2019 11:53 AM

• So is McDonaldson McDonaldDone?

  BomboRivera on March 12, 2019 9:55 AM

• I will do my best to live up to my reputation and get trade offers out promptly! 🙂

  Boys of Summer 2.0 on March 10, 2019 4:07 PM

• Finding Nimmo's trade block has been updated!

  Boys of Summer 2.0 on March 10, 2019 3:59 PM

• I'm officially ending the draft. You can auction off players using the normal process. I need to end the draft to enable the lineup page to work.

  Cruzship on March 10, 2019 2:56 PM

• Well done by all in the draft. Let's go.

  Cruzship on March 10, 2019 2:50 PM

• True. oF games are always a challenge. But surprised about UTIL.

  Cruzship on March 10, 2019 11:02 AM

• Interesting note in looking at our games played by position from last year. No one used all 810 games in OF and only one team reached 162 for UTL.

  BomboRivera on March 10, 2019 10:51 AM

• Yes that is correct

  Cruzship on March 9, 2019 10:53 PM

• just confirming the draft is at 12:30 pm eastern

  The Bronx Empire on March 9, 2019 8:55 PM

• No changes I’m aware of. You have access to the same information I do. As I mentioned in November the Community forum is the place to make suggestions to the people who run Ottoneu and I have no special access to that.

  Cruzship on March 8, 2019 5:26 PM

• Hey Commish, I'm assuming FG hasn't made any changes regarding pitchers needing to be in their role to get points. So if Tampa continues to use "openers" and Glasnow comes in in the second inning, but let's say he wasn't RP eligible, I then can't use him, correct? Likewise, Peacock is likely going to be a starter for Houston, but only shows as RP eligible right now. So I'd need to wait until he has enough times in that role before I can use, correct? I hate this...

  BomboRivera on March 8, 2019 9:08 AM

• Bombo - As of today the only change in ownership is Mike replacing Jordan. And he changed the team name to Finding Nimmo. That said, Joel's team expired March 2 and his email address may be no good any more, so if anyone knows how to get in touch with him, please do and ask him to renew his team immediately. Anand also has to renew by the 11th.

  Cruzship on March 4, 2019 1:52 PM

• Commish, when you have a minute, would you please send out an updated who's who list for our league prior to the auction? In case we had team name changes or additions. I just want to make sure I'm burning on Venkat and Anand properly. Thanks!

  BomboRivera on March 4, 2019 10:56 AM

• And by the way, kudos to Bombo for a Shakespeare pun! Heck, I used a kids’ animated movie. Gotta up my game!

  Boys of Summer 2.0 on February 20, 2019 8:17 AM

• Watch out for those Padres in a year or two. If the young guns pan out, they could be a really talented team.

  Boys of Summer 2.0 on February 19, 2019 8:31 PM

• Thank goodness Muchadoboutnothin signed in South Dakota (I actually heard a guy on radio say South Dakota, instead of San Diego) so he doesn't take time away from Andujar and/or Voit.

  BomboRivera on February 19, 2019 2:35 PM

• Thanks Nathan

  Boys of Summer 2.0 on February 14, 2019 8:03 PM

• All - ok I've moved the draft to March 10 beginning at 11:30, in hopes that this maximizes participation.

  Cruzship on February 14, 2019 1:52 PM

• Sorry to be so wishy-washy, but if everyone can make the 10th, I think we should do that, to allow Domo to participate.
