Shohei- I was in school during the Crean years and the sweet sixteen runs. Just happy to see them playing well after what felt like a disappointing season overall.
-
Bombo- had a different team in it (finished top 32, coulda been 16 if Darvish hadn’t forgetting how to pitch 😑) and enjoyed it. Definitely requires a slightly different strategy (multi-position players are key), and somewhat being willing to toss away future stability the further along you get if you actually want to win as most of the top finishing teams had salaries of $500+. Happy to chat more over PM if you’d like!
-
Santo - I grew up in Bloomington IN and saw a lot of games at the Assembly Hall in which Woodson played. Esp happy for him.

Bombo - it did not impact how I managed in this league. I'd give it a shot if I were you.

Just curious of those that also played the OPL last year what you thought? Did it alter how you managed your team here? Would you recommend joining?

I can make 3/31, 4/4 work. I will be flying back from Savannah Ga on 4/5 (may be able to make it work. back to chicago around 6 cst)
-
I can do 4/5, but it would have to be after 9:30 ET.
-
3/31 or April 4/5 work for me. IU wins again Shohei, we might just make the tourney after all! 😅
-
No worries Calvin. How does April 4 or 5 work for people? We want to accommodate 12 teams but it’s hard as we all know.

Hate to be that guy, but 3/31 is going to be hard for me as I have a second draft that night and it's a live, in-person one. I might be able to make it work if it's truly the only thing that does for everyone else, but would prefer if we can do another night.
-
I can make March 31 work
-
Owners - just to update you, I have heard from 4 owners and we are already down to only 1 date that works for everyone- March 31. That’s with 7 owners not yet responded.

I am good on either 3/28, 30 or 31.
-
Owners - it looks like opening day is April 7. Working backwards, I think the earliest we can/should think about the auction/draft is Weds. March 23 or Thurs. March 24; then skip to Monday March 28th - Thurs 31. We slip in the first week of April if absolutely needed. If you could please respond to this, or send me an email to nathanzietlow@gmail.com with dates you cannot attend, that would help. Plan would to start at 8PM Central time.

Some said it was impossible, but a new CBA and a victory by Indiana in the B1G tourney on the same day is certainly a good day in my book. Let’s see what the MLB schedule is and then I’ll float some proposed draft dates.

Been down in AZ all month and no hint of our Field of Dreams guys walking out of the corn stalks. I have seen some ball, though. Watched part of a Juco tournament at the Cubs facility, Two HS games with Chief Justice’s owner Lance, ASU and two women’s college softball. (Gophers vs ASU and U of AZ). Will get to one more ASU game before heading home later this week.

Owners - my thinking/plan is that we don’t bother scheduling a draft until we know what’s going to happen with the regular season schedule. In other words, I won’t schedule yet. Let me know if there are strong objections- your humble Commissioner

Bombo - just to clarify, the only thing I can do is manually allow owners to cut players w/o
penalty. There is no way to systemically change the cut deadline that is set by ottoneu. We have done that for new owners who join the league after the cut deadline but I don’t want to do that for the whole league.

Hi all, just seeing that Niv will be keeping the Feb 15 cut deadline globally for Ottoneu. However, our commish has the ability to adjust that, if we as a league choose to. Just thought I’d toss that out there, in case there’s a strong desire to move it back with the lockout seemingly continuing.
BomboRivera on

I sent an email to all owners but want to be sure you are all aware that the keeper deadline has been pushed back 2 weeks because of the mlb lock out. You can also see this on the tools page, which has the league calendar.

Santo - yes I'd probably join that if you put a league together. Haven't done SABR points either

Would anyone be interested in joining a new SABR league? It's the one scoring format I haven't tried and am intrigued...
-
I have a couple of SS available if anyone is looking to upgrade. Make me an offer for Lindor or Story, I can throw in a prospect to balance a deal.
-
It’s great to see all of the trade activity. For the new owners, and as a reminder, we have the trade waiting period set at 24 hours, so trades go through after that.

Hey everyone. Thanks for letting me join, I'm looking forward to it! I've been playing Ottoneu for 5-6 years now and really enjoy it. I know it's not time yet, but I do enjoy trading and am happy to talk trades or just general baseball at any time. Looking forward to playing with you all.

I didn’t get points from Devers because I’d used up my 3B games :-(. Nor Walsh who also had a big day.

I just took a look again at the final standings and the difference was only 13 points. Which makes me think that Devers 9th inning HR was the difference. My guys were done at that point.

Congrats to the winners in the most competitive season ever! I'll miss the competition but won't miss the -60 when my pitcher gives up 4 homers. If a new owner isn't found in near future, I'm happy to do the arbitration process and dole out the cash at other owners :)

Out of habit, I went to set my lineups this morning. Sigh. Another season's over. Many congrats to those at the top, great runs all. See you guys next season.

Hello all. I am excited to join the league. I cannot wait to get in on the action. Sounds like the league finish went down to the wire. I am a first year Ottoneu player but very seasoned fantasy player. I am in 5 other Ottoneu leagues. I was a strong second in one of the leagues this season, teo of the leagues i claimed late August.
-
Truly extraordinary finish by Shohei! Congrats to the Commish and the entire league — extremely competitive and required lots of attention that sadly I missed at times. Will greatly miss all of the departing guys and their teams — great memories!
-
Congrats to all the top 3 finishers, and good luck to y’all going forward. It’s been a fun ride
-
Wowza. Congrats Shohei -- what a nutty finish. Maybe even a crazier finale than real MLB!
-
And I echo your comments on Mike - who founded this league - and Dr Wu/Baddoo. Hurts to lose them.

Honestly can’t believe it. I thought I had a chance to catch Santo but things broke magically well for me yesterday (Houck) and today with pitching. You guys set a high bar. This league has never been so competitive.

Congrats to Shohei for his huge day today and winning the league! I was worried from Thursday on this might happen. When the Giants didn’t clinch last night, it was set up for today and his guys came through big time. Even if there’s a game 163 tomorrow, I have no TOR/BOS players, so couldn’t catch him. Another flag for the Commish! 18,000+ points and this close for the top three spots. Good year, guys. Congrats also to Mike and Dr. Wu, for making this league so competitive over the years

At the Rockies - Dodgers game in Coors this afternoon. Scherzer would be fine if he could get the Rockies pitcher out. $1 to get into the park for us seniors. Gotta love that.

I know we've got important things to discuss like recruiting future league members, but did Aaron Civale just leave a tiny door open for Calvin or Josiah to make a 3rd place run? Pretty crazy end of league standings situation we've got going on here.
-
Hey Commish, I just checked back with my friend. He has a few more questions to ask about how our league works, so we’re going to set up a FaceTime to chat. I’ll let you know as soon as I’m able his decision. He’s done very well in his league, but Ottoneu is quite a departure from other leagues.

Hi All - With Baddoo's departure we will now need 3 new owners next season (Baddoo, Arozarena and Acuna). I can post something on the community forum, but if any of you know people who have interest, it's always preferable to find people we know. I think Bombo has someone for one team (Arozarena) though not sure that's confirmed. You can message or email me (nathanzietlow@gmail.com) with questions or leads.

As reflected in my revised team name, I will be retiring from Ottoneu at the conclusion of this season. Just don't have the endurance anymore to do daily roster tweaks for six months of a season. I think I have grown more suited to a once a week check for football. It has been fun - thanks to all the Commissioners along the way for organizing. Hopefully a new owner can take over and enjoy having Luis Robert.
