I'm looking forward to a frenzied off season of arbitration, keeper selections and draft prep. and of course, mets playoff baseball!
hope to have everyone stick around for next year.
LFGM!

Congrats Beer Barrels! What a dominant performance. And congrats to Alpine as well for just barely holding on lol
Good luck to the Mets — I’ll be pulling for you guys!
-
Thanks for everyone for a great season. Enjoy the playoffs. Let's go Mets!
-
Congrats to Beer Barrels and great season everyone. We had quite a log jam there in the middle. Best of luck to the Mets faithful in this playoff run.

the battle for second is where the action is at. (I hope...)

Rates are tough, I put myself in pitching jail early and it’s been a slow slog to try and climb out all year

Last year, it came down to the final 2-3 days of the season. Arsenal had 11-12s in all hitting cats and smg had all 12s in pitching. This is only my second full season, but I expect its common for someone to sweep one side of the ledger. For me, it took luck, health and good depth to keep up the rate stats. I did not carry any prospects and I had to stream and platoon to get good matchups…and now I am looking forward to a relaxing rebuild next year IF I manage to hold on this year. Best of luck!

I gotta say — I was hoping for some more intrigue and excitement in the standings. Beer just ran away with this league! I guess it’s harder to make dramatic turnarounds with so many rate stat categories.

Sell me your overpriced/unkeepable assets! Only making deals today since we’re so late in the year 😎

If anyone wants to shop at the Cicely Marmots shop before the trading deadline, I have Kris Bryant and some other gently used bullshit in the "MUST GO" window. Slide all up in my DMs!

That video of Diaz's entrance to the Timmy Trumpet song has been making its rounds about Twitter. So cool! Elite closer entrances are one of the coolest parts of the game. They even got the mascots involved in it LOL
-
Crimson, the unwritten rules of fantasy baseball say that some players refuse to get hot until AFTER you drop them.
-
Also, I have a million halfway decent catchers. If someone needs catcher help, shoot me a message.
-
I’m sorry, Andres Munoz. I miss you. What we had was special. Let’s give us another try. Can we work something out, Beer Barrels??
-
I support this idea. When Rodon came to Cincy a few weeks back, I got visitor-side seats and I really let him have it. Turned his entire season around. Sometimes the players respond to a little fire.

This is the way

A .238 OPS and a 31.50 ERA today. If it were real baseball, I would have gotten myself ejected in the second inning and gone home early.

Anybody want a gently used Javier Baez?? He's heating up RIGHT NOW!!!! and wants to play for YOUR team! Enquire within.

I have a blast until I look at the standings every morning then I just hear "Hello darkness my old friend..." in the background

Just wanted to say I'm having a blast in this league! I started following baseball again after a 5-year break and it's been wild. Ottoneu, of course, never disappoints!

I had Stroman give up 9 in 4 the other day. But yeah… that’s rough

2.1 IP 8H 2BB 7ER 5(!!!) HRs. Nice Garrett Cole. This has to be the worst start of the league so far, right? lol
-
My condolences, Monolith. Too many HRs and ugly pitching stats yesterday. Makes you wonder if MLB changed the ball again.
-
Has anyone ever seen a single game ERA higher than 189? Gotta be some sort of a record
-
You can't hurt me anymore, Andres Munoz. It's not me. It's you.
-
Back to back seasons with a no hitter on the bench... This is fine
-
Haha yep. I was in a league where two guys put $50 bids in with the same thinking. Things got messy 😂 It’s a valid strategy though!
-
As long as they only charge me $1 more than the second highest bidder -- and nobody else notices what I'm bidding -- it ensures I get the guy.

$25 blind bid on Juan?! SMG you are a wild man!
-
Agreed! Congrats LGM!!!!
-
Congrats to all of the Mets fans here! What a great moment for the club!
-
That is how you shut the door on a team no-hitter…Edwin Diaz strikes out the side on 13 pitches. A dominate win.
-
Go the Buck route and just think of them as mid-season acquisitions.

No…nothing so sensible as that. I am from Cincinnati area, northern KY. The name is based off an obscure baseball stat called barrels per plate appearance. I do like beer, though. I probably should have picked a team name like Slapdick Utility Player, so I wouldn’t have to explain it, lol.

Hey Beer Barrels are you from PA?

All players who haven't played in the past year are considered Util and have to obtain position eligibility. It's awkward for pitchers, but I'm not sure what you can do.

xwoBacon Burgers is now Beer Barrels/PA....not a better name...but at least different. Wish I wasn't so much of a nerd.

I accept those terms. /handshake

Murdery is just such a great word. Team name change coming soon. Sending paperwork through to you for 1% of team merchandise revenue for 2023 through 2028.

Thanks, Hornets. You're nice considering how murdery you are.

Yes, occasionally Ottoneu has a glitch like this. I have Jack Leiter in a league and have the same issue. They eventually catch the error. Whitley still recovering from TJ and won’t pitch until at least the second half of the season. I would just move him to a minors slot and then move him to the IL when he’s officially on the Astros’ IL.

I have Forrest Whitley on my team (for some reason), but he's listed as an offensive player (UTIL) as opposed to pitcher. I can't put him in a lineup as SP or RP. It's kinda weird. Anyone seen this before? Anyone have any ideas?
-
Thanks for the welcome. Looking forward to the auction and the competition.

see y’all Wednesday 👍

9:30 ET Wednesday is good for me. I'll probably be a few minutes late but no worries.
