Listening to the Padres broadcast. They just said Tatis Jr, since coming off the COVID DL is 11/14, with four doubles and four homers. LOL. Acura, Trout, Vlad Jr all good choices, but I think this kid should be the face of baseball.

As Casey Stengel said back in 1961 while managing the expansion NY Mets, can anyone here play this game??? I'm wondering that tonight. I have two guys playing, two! LOL. What is going on??? Yes, I know light schedule, but c'mon.

Bombo - unfortunately I cannot do anything to change a lineup. This is an unfortunate glitch.

not in the starting lineup are moved to my bench, Larnach was moved there. Commish, is there a way you're able to move him into one of my open OF spots? Or is this a live and learn deal? Thanks. Anyway, thought I'd broadcast this to our league, since I was not aware of it.

Ok, found there's a glitch with Ottoneu and players making their MLB debut. I had put Larnach in my starting lineup, as he was showing starting everywhere I looked. But in our lineups page, there was (and still is) a big red X next to his name, even though he did start today. I posted on Slack and also in Community. What I'm seeing is that for some reason, any player (pitcher or otherwise) making his MLB debut isn't recognized as starting. Because I have it set up where players (con't)

The pitcher didn’t cover third is what caused it.

Gotta love the shift, when a runner can score from first on an infield single. Did the batter get an RBI?

As the first month of the season closes, there's only about a 100 point difference between first and fifth place as of right now. And others within close range beyond that. I don't recall in our ten years being so bunched up at the top after one month. Good deal, should make for a fun rest of year.

I don’t know what’s worse, when your pitcher gives up 4 dongs or your benah hits 4. In my defense, Garver, Polanco and Soler couldn’t hit a beach ball the past few weeks. Either way, it drives you crazy. The love/hate relationship you have with your fantasy team.

I really have to start checking my lineup more frequently. Missed Gallen’s great start and Turner’s 2 HR game. Oh well - not in this to win. It’s fantasy baseball, after all

Colome gets the mid-game chop. Josh Naylor approves.

Drew Smyly, you are now on double secret probation. I have 1 and 1/2 eyes on you. If you hit the magic number, don’t make any travel plans.

I would’ve cut the SOB sooner, but have been busy tending to family stuff. I had him for 4 flipping IP. Hardly knew ye, will NEVER pick you up again. You can throw two consecutive no-hitters, Joe Ross and I won’t even look at you.

Anddddd there it is. Cue Joe Ross cut???

Speaking of which, I just got home and checked on my new guy Joe Ross. He’s on double secret probation and I have my finger on the trigger. One more dong tonight and he’s gone.

Yep, we call them spite cuts. I've developed a reputation. My players better not mess with me or they'll get the ax. Good thing this doesn't apply to the IL. Not yet, anyway.

A Bombo move would’ve been for me to cut Ynoa after he gave up 3 HRs in the first 3 innings on Sat in his first start after I overpaid for him in auction.

I saw that! It's Cubs pitchers. It was Hamel that I cut a few years ago fifth inning, just after he had given up his fifth homer of the game. One doesn't forget those things.

I think I’ve had doubleheaders with 21 swings and misses

Interesting stat I heard today in this era of hitting 30 HRs and striking out 200 times in a season. In his first 120+ at bats in his young career, Nick Madrigal of the White Sox has a total of 21 swings and misses. There may be a few players creeping up on 21 strikeouts for the season so far.

Despite the injury woes, you’re leading the pack, Mark! Nicely done so far

I think 12 on the IL is the most I can remember a team having - certainly at this stage of the season.

With all my guys pig piling on the DL, thinking it’s a contest to see who may get there fastest (three more in the last two days) I actually had a dream last night that Soler also hit the list. I had to check and make sure he didn’t. A Rozarena was dead on, when he said the DL would be filled this year.

Owners - for the purpose of full disclosure, an owner mistakenly cut a player he’d just won at auction. I confirmed it was a mistake and made the roster adjustments necessary to fix. In case you were tracking moves and wondering, that’s what happened.

I was informed that the loan amount is what was intended. I also vetoed. But basically we’ve never had a trade vetoed. Would take I think 7 owners vetoing . Not likely-

I am not a big believer in vetoing trades but this will be the first trade I plan to veto since joining the league. Acuna is one of the best in the league and there isn’t anything close to sniffing his value in that deal

Another trade where the loan amount is too much.

Tough day for a couple guys. Royals designate Scott Blewett for assignment. Guess you could say he... nah, too easy. Well, hopefully after his DL stint, Astros Andre Scrubb has a chance to get off the bench. I’m sure Mickey Klutts would offer his condolences to these guys, if asked.

Smart general managers have depth. Bombo is a smart GM. I’m guessing you weather the storm and are competing in September, as always

I thought of you when I saw that news Bombo, but then thought Cron’s gonna hit 35 dingers this year, and you’ll be fine

Yeah, do I laugh or cry at this point? Eloy out 5 to 6 months and now Voit has a torn meniscus. I can understand if this happened during the season, but this is ridiculous.

I suspect the 2021 DL will be littered with bodies as people get back to a full 162 game season

I hear the train a coming, it’s rollin round the bend, I ain’t seen the DL so full, since I don’t know when... Yates, Eloy, Rogers, Valdez, Carrasco. I think we’re at the limit now.

Bombo- Chicago born and raised. Looking forward to actually having some money to spend at auction (I usually have a short stack...), but most certainly in rebuild mode for next year. I entered one of my other teams into the OPL, best ball is fun as you don’t have to worry about actually setting a lineup, you just get max possible score everyday.
-
Also, welcome to Santo. Sounds like another Chicago guy. I lived down there for six years, so a semi Chicagoan. I see he has $235 to spend at auction, should be interesting with that much cash. Good luck to all.

Hey all, baseball is back! Finally. Seemed like such a long offseason, partly I suppose due to such a short, odd year last year. New year, new hope. Just wondering if anyone has looked into this new Ottoneu Prestige League? It says it plays off our team here. Looks like they'll drop teams each month from the competition, so better not have any slow starts. Sounds interesting. Almost plays like the global standings, but with a contest of needing to stay high enough that you don't get cut.

Of course. The goal is to have all 12 teams at the auction. It’s been a few years since we’ve had that
