• One of the owners informed me that they mistakenly started an auction in a player . I cannot stop the auction process, but I can remove the penalty (in this case it’s $1) after the auction (he will need to cut the player). Just want to be transparent about this if you see this happen. We all make mistakes.

• He's the baseball hero of half of my 12U team. Lots of kids lost their hero today. Sad stuff.

  Uncle Baby Billy's All-Stars on August 12, 2022 9:24 PM

• As if my team needed this news now. What the hell, Tatis? At this point, it doesn’t matter a whole helluva lot, but what the hell?

  BomboRivera on August 12, 2022 7:43 PM

• I’m fine doing that unless anyone strongly objects.

  Cruzship on July 16, 2022 6:13 PM

• Hey Commish, I inadvertently bid on Smith, meaning to bid on another player in the auction. Is there any chance you could nullify and award to Bassit? I’ll understand if you can’t, but thought I’d ask.

  BomboRivera on July 16, 2022 5:26 PM

• Not a ton of B1G starting pitchers making to the show these days

  Cruzship on July 15, 2022 1:58 PM

• Bombo - yes I saw that. Good for Max (& you!)

  Cruzship on July 15, 2022 1:57 PM

• If you haven’t heard, former Gopher Max Meyer is being called up by the Marlins and will start tomorrow’s game against the Phillies. Pretty cool.

  BomboRivera on July 15, 2022 12:25 PM

• The stats have been added from that game now

  Cruzship on July 9, 2022 11:48 AM

• I wonder in part if it’s due to Sewald? Initially they charged him with a walk, when that should’ve been given to Giles, who left with an injury and 3–1 count on the hitter. Sewald came in and threw ball four, But that walk is charged to Giles. In any case, I’m glad it appears to be being handled.

  BomboRivera on July 9, 2022 8:12 AM

• Owners - points from last night’s Blue Jays v Mariners game didn’t load - ottoneu is aware of the issue and that will be fixed . In case you looked and were wondering.

  Cruzship on July 9, 2022 7:48 AM

• So close to doing a spite cut on Berrios

  Bazzball! on June 20, 2022 11:46 PM

• Yea, so brutal. That'll set me back in the rankings.

  Raganomics on June 10, 2022 12:27 PM

• Gerrit. Cole. 😬 and some how it still wasn’t as bad as Eovaldi’s -70 against Houston a few weeks ago!

  Taking Back Santo on June 10, 2022 6:17 AM

• Man, you guys aren’t letting me win any pitching, lol. Im looking to trade for some SP since I missed out on all of them that ere put up for bid. Let me know if you have any you want to move.

  Raganomics on May 28, 2022 11:39 AM

• Hopefully Grisham works out for one of you. I just couldn’t take it any more. No sign of life at all.

  BomboRivera on May 26, 2022 6:45 PM

• Just a quick heads up if you don't have MLB.TV that it's free this weekend, starting today.

  BomboRivera on May 6, 2022 3:49 PM

• Not as bad as Civale’s -55 for me last September

  Cruzship on May 6, 2022 10:13 AM

• Oof. Saw the message in the middle of a client call and had to stop and see what happened. Might be a long season with 15 guys on the IL / Covid / Susp list.

  The Bleacher Bums on May 5, 2022 6:02 PM

• I feel for ya, Cobra. I've been there before. Actually spite cut Hammel mid game for the same thing, LOL.

  BomboRivera on May 5, 2022 5:50 PM

• I hate to do this but the trade of mediocre for a loan makes no sense.

  Bazzball! on April 25, 2022 1:25 PM

• Now I know how Buxton owners feel.

  BomboRivera on April 24, 2022 11:54 AM

• Starting Pitchers on sale. Please send offers

  Bazzball! on April 20, 2022 7:34 PM

• It's almost comical how bad my team is every April. LOL.

  BomboRivera on April 17, 2022 4:51 PM

• We all agreed that the season would be over after the first day, right? Just checking. :-)

  Uncle Baby Billy's All-Stars on April 8, 2022 10:17 AM

• Ok - draft is complete. Players can be traded, cut, etc. Good luck to all

  Cruzship on April 4, 2022 11:46 PM

• Let me answer another way. I have the ability as Commissioner to do that. If the group wants to allow that I can do it. But I suspect you won't be the only person who might want to cut a player and then I will be in the middle of that in the auction.

  Cruzship on April 4, 2022 9:07 PM

• I'm sympathetic but we haven't allowed that. I think you can cut him once the auction starts though - I've been trying to figure out whether that is permitted but maybe someone else here knows that.

  Cruzship on April 4, 2022 9:05 PM

• Any chance I can cut Garrett Crochet (yet another great trade by MMT) and take the full cap charge so I can fill his roster spot during tonight’s auction?

  The Life of Riley on April 4, 2022 7:57 PM

• I am going to be 45 minutes late so I don’t have to witness insane bidding wars

  Bazzball! on April 3, 2022 2:25 PM

• Correct

  Cruzship on April 3, 2022 1:19 PM

• Just to be 100% certain, our auction tomorrow night starts at 8:30pm central, correct? That means Anand should only be about 15 minutes late. 😉

  BomboRivera on April 3, 2022 12:26 PM

• Based on those who have responded 4/4 works so I’ll change it to that but then we are locked for that date

  Cruzship on March 29, 2022 10:46 AM

• So it seems 4/6 out, with 4/4 as a possibility. As mentioned, I can likely swing 4/5 if we pushed an hour, but I know that makes for a late night for any east coast folks. Again, my apologies; work threw me a curveball yesterday after a client rearranged their schedule on us.

  Taking Back Santo on March 29, 2022 10:32 AM

• I do think we either need to stick with the 5th or set a date once and for all. I moved two things to be available on the 5th, so don’t want to keep yanking those folks around.

  BomboRivera on March 29, 2022 10:05 AM

• I could do 4/4, but not 4/6 as well. It's tough to move a draft at this point and it's getting pretty late for a slow draft too. I could help find a proxy, if that's helpful

  Raganomics on March 28, 2022 7:12 PM

• I can do 4/4 but not 4/6

  Calvin and Roy Hobbs on March 28, 2022 3:09 PM

• I have another draft on 4/6.

  Boys of Summer 2.0 on March 28, 2022 2:56 PM

• Either of those dates are fine for me.

  Cruzship on March 28, 2022 2:55 PM

• Hey everyone, I hate to be “that guy” but I just found out that can no longer swing 4/5 (could potentially if we pushed an hour later, but I know that’s a bit of an ask). Could we possibly shift to 4/4 or 4/6?

  Taking Back Santo on March 28, 2022 2:47 PM

• Yes sir. That is the plan.

  Cruzship on March 17, 2022 12:00 PM

• Are we a confirmed 4/5, draft? Works for me, just playing the draft shuffle across leagues so just double checking everything!

  Taking Back Santo on March 17, 2022 11:28 AM

• If you have T-Mobile, they’re offering free MLB.TV again this year.

  BomboRivera on March 15, 2022 1:29 PM

• Owners - I have not heard back from 100% of the owners, but have tentatively set the draft date for 4/5 starting at 8:30 CST.

  Cruzship on March 14, 2022 5:37 PM

• Here we go again. Tatis Jr has a fractured wrist and likely out for three months. Sure, why not knock out my best player right off the bat?

  BomboRivera on March 14, 2022 12:23 PM

• I love the slow draft idea

  Bazzball! on March 12, 2022 12:52 PM

• Ok, I have a small connection to the current IU team. Race Thompson is the son of Darrell Thompson. DT, as many of you already know, was a standout RB for the Gophers and later the Packers during the 80s. Darrell and I went to the same HS in Rochester. Doesn’t mean I root for IU, though!

  BomboRivera on March 11, 2022 6:46 PM

• Given scheduling issues, query whether we do a “slow draft” via couchmanagers.com. I joined another Ottoneu league for this upcoming season (I claimed an abandoned team) and they do this slow draft where each team nominates a few players and then those players are up for auction for a predetermined period (typically 24 hours), and then another group of players is nominated to go up for auction for another set period. This process is completed until all of the teams have built their rosters.

  The Life of Riley on March 11, 2022 4:24 PM

• I can do 4/5 -- that works for me.

  Calvin and Roy Hobbs on March 11, 2022 4:05 PM

• True story - Tim Knight was on my little league team and Patrick was our bat boy, so BK saw us play a lot of games. I pitched and played SS but we were terrible. Years later I had a chance to meet BK and told him that, and said we were probably the worst LL team ever. He paused, and said, " you're right, you were the worst LL team I've ever seen". We both laughed.
