If any of you want to form the league, go for it. Just let us know what the name is and we can jump in. If I had a choice of format, I’d go full point PPR, with a flex and a superflex. Love having 2 QB - makes the position as important in fantasy as in real life.
-
I’d also hop into a new football league!
-
I would join a new fantasy football league as well (my league of 15 years dissolved last year and does not look like it is coming back). I can't be much worse than my baseball team and my 15 players on the IL right now!
-
I do two leagues (love it), but they’re full up right now. I’ve found that a bunch of teams open up right after the renewal date of July 31, but get claimed super fast. Might have to try to start a new league - I’d join it.
-
is anybody doing fantasy football through ottoneu? are there open spots in your league?

Bombo- I entered a team from another league; made it into the top 32, lost in the first round of H2H playoffs. I really enjoyed it. It’s a unique game that takes a VERY different approach; but for someone who more or less had the “home league” locked up going into the season it kept me interested/engaged. However, if you don’t have a relatively strong core it’s difficult to contend and I only imagine it will be harder next year with qualification required. Happy to chat more over DM if you want.
-
So whatever tweaking and changing or improvement you make to your roster during the scoring period doesn't help you. In my case, my team improved a lot in May as I cut/added players, etc. None of that matters. On balance, I didn't think it was a great game. There is little you can do to improve your team's standing. Completely disconnected from the normal ottoneu game.

Bombo - yes I participated in OPL and was 102 at the end of round 2 so was eliminated (only top 100 advanced). It's extremely passive. At each round your roster is fixed as of the beginning date of that round (e.g. for round 2 it was fixed at May 1). Then the system uses an algorithm to give you maximum points for each day, based on the maximum points from players on that roster (e.g. the May 1 roster). You don't do anything - e.g. don't set daily line ups. The system does it all (1/2)

Just curious, for anyone that joined the OPL this year, are you still in the running? What did you think of it? If I qualify, I’d like to give it a shot next year.

The Cubs should simply cease (as in end, not Dylan) baseball operations. Total embarrassment to the game of baseball so much so that now the Mighty Marlins are the newest team making a mockery of them.

One of the Twins top prospects is on their AAA Saint Paul Saints team by the name of Jose Miranda. And yes, his cousin is Lin-Manuel Miranda, of Hamilton fame. So it was appropriate that the Saints starting pitcher yesterday was a guy named Hamilton.

All of a sudden, all of my league notifications are going directly to my junk email box. Auction completions, message board postings, etc. Has anyone else had this happen? I didn’t put a block on these or change any settings. I have a note asking about this on the community page.

I have not. I was waiting to see if it would correct. Feel free to use your powers or request, if necessary. Thanks.

Bombo - from what you described you should not be getting points from Loup because you had rostered him as an RP. Have you checked on the community board? If not I can post something there
Cruzship on

Question: My point total yesterday appears to include points Loup earned. He pitched the first inning of the second game of their DH. I had him in my lineup, but at RP. Oddly, in my today’s stats, it shows zero points, as he wasn’t slotted as a starter. But again, it seems to have included his 9.4 for the first inning in the standings total. Will that correct? Has anyone else has this happen?

With the HR Derby tonight, it reminds me of when I attended the first one ever at the old MetroDump in 1985. For the younger guys, that one was held in the afternoon, wasn’t televised and there were about 5K of us in the stands that day. And, I think it was free. I remember Bruno (Tom Brunanski) winning it for the AL at the end. Anyone remember the AS game the next night, when Nolan Ryan knocked Rickey Henderson on his ass? Yep, they were still playing to win back then.

Thanks Bombo. Actually went to my first game in person since 2019 to see the St Paul Saints. Best of luck to all as we move into the second half.

Happy 4th of July to my fellow league mates! Hope you all have a happy and safe day and we all score some points. Here’s to a healthier second half for all our guys!

No points were awarded b/c Gonsolin pitched in relief and was rostered as a starter, and opposite for Gonzalez

Anyone know what’s going on — Ottoneu did not recognize Tony Gonsolin or Victor Gonzalez stats from yesterday. Is this a reportable glitch?
-
Just so I don’t seem heartless, I had to cut a player to add Cabrera. Unfortunately, Naylor is going to be out quite a while, so that only makes sense for me.

By the way, I was at the Sox game last Monday, when my guy Glasnow tore his UCL. We were enjoying the game and then, “hey, Glasnow is out.” What the? Oh. Well, that sucks, but par for the course in 2021. I hadn’t been to Sox Park in about three years and they’re really made some nice improvements! The outfield area is a lot more active now and the facing outside the park looks pretty cool. We tried to stop at a sports bar a couple blocks away and it was jammed up on a Monday night.

Yep, just like the old Blood, Sweat and Tears song, I can’t quit him. He got in my head. I need help. Is Jason Hammel still available? I’m gonna go get him, too. All is forgiven!

Bombo - did you put Joe Ross up for auction? You just can’t quit him, can you?
-
I just realized that I have 20 pitchers on my roster. Of course, eight of them are on the IL, (now 14 overall) so I’m a few innings behind. Thankfully, Doc Roc only has control over Rogers, so most of the starters will pitch more than four innings.

I still could care less, Joe Ross. You’re dead to me.

That was a demonstration by me in how not to handle an auction.

At the moment, the top four teams are within 20 points of each other. Our standings have entered Crazytown.

Starting June 14th, umpires will start randomly checking pitchers 6-8 times per game for sticky substances. It will be done either as pitchers come out to start an inning or at the end of an inning. Plan accordingly.

Interesting, if long-winded article on substances and spin rates for a couple prospect pitchers and a desk jockey: https://www.thescore.com/mlb/news/2180019/baseballs-dirty-little-secret-is-out-we-decided-to-experiment

Both Rosenthal and Heyman tweeted about this last night, if you haven’t seen it. Cole’s numbers were down last night and he ended up giving up five runs. Makes me wonder about a few of my guys. We’ll see what happens.

Interesting to see going forward if MLB now directs the umpires to crack down on the pitchers cheating. Pretty strong video and analytic information on guys like Bauer, Karinchak, Cole, Darvish and even DeGrom already. I was watching a Giants game last week and not really looking for it, but Tyler Rogers repeatedly kept going to the brim of his cap, such that it caught my eye. LOL, as they say, if you ain’t cheatin’, you ain’t tryin’.

Nah, just a plain old re-auction cut after 30 days to shed salary. However, the first time I cut him it was a spite cut

Is Colome a spite cut, Calvin?

I think Bombo falls under both a fictional character and Hall of Famer. Just for his name alone!

Or after a retired Hall of Famer!
-
That's why you name your team after a fictional legend of the game!

As Commissioner, I must remind owners that it is an unwritten rule of the league (per TLR) that if you cut your namesake player, you must change your team name.
