I've burned myself like 3 times on it already! The general store in Cicely is clearly open for business and there's plenty on the "MUST GO" rack. Have a look at my trade block and inquire within!

The Crimson Strikes are open for business! Once you get your roster sorted out, see if anything on my trading block tickles your fancy.

Arbitration is done. It looks like the whole league is returning. You are free to make cuts until the keeper deadline, which won't be for another three months I think. You may need to pay the $20 to renew the team, so keep your eyes out for that.

They key is to pick pitchers who get hurt. That way you can't really be disappointed with them.

Don’t worry. I’m just a lazy slacker. I’ll be back next year to defend my solid mid-tier finish with —even more— disappointing pitching.
-
I was going to inquire into that. I've had a few other more pressing things to take care of first.

Hi all! Do we know if the teams that haven't done arbitration will be returning for another year?
-
That doesn't look like anything to me

I just saw this on Twitter and I wanted to share.
Percentage of MLB pitchers who have had Tommy John surgery, by season:
2016: 27.4%
2017: 25.9%
2018: 28.5%
2019: 30.8%
2020: 32.0%
2021: 32.0%
2022: 34.4%
2023: 35.3%

Hi everybody, arbitration starts today! You have a month to make everybody else's best players more expensive, so get to it!

Arbitration starts on October 15th! Is everyone back next year? Cicely will be running back their 11th place team #TrustTheProcess
-
Wild finish! Congrats, both. And watch your asses next year. The Cicely Marmots climbed out of 12th place and flirted with 30 points way ahead of schedule! #5YearPlan #TrustTheProcess

It absolutely does count as a win, by league rules (thanks for finding that post Whizzo). 10 years ago, I tied for first in a league. Neither of us had won before, and I was awarded first place based upon 4th tiebreaker...most IP + AB. WTF? It was a tie breaker design to produce a winner, not determine the best season. Always felt my opponent earned and deserved better. I'd have been happier to share, as we are now.
-
Full disclosure, in 20 years of playing fantasy sports this is the first league I've ever "won"... so despite it being a tie i'm still going to call it a W. Great year everyone, looking forward to getting back into it early next year. Now to just slog through my FB and BB leagues.

So it turns out that not being able to make it to draft night is NOT an effective strategy...
-
Barring any final scoring adjustments, it looks like it will remain a tie. I found the following in an old Ottoneu forum:

The prize money is split if two of the prize teams end up with the same number of points in a roto league.

Awesome ending! We are not a prize league, but congratulations to BOTH our winners!
Arbitration starts in a couple of days, so be prepared to boost the salaries of other teams' players.
Now to figure out how to pick up some offense...

Congrats to our co-champs(?!) Beer Barrels and Monolith! I was legitimately surprised BB made a run at first so late — that was awesome to see. Back-to-back titles for him!
I don’t think there is official prize support for our $20 league…you’ll have to split my respect and admiration.
-
I don’t even know what the rules are. I assume we split the 1st and 2nd money? Idk.

The scoreboard had you in sole first place an hour ago, but now looks like a tie…listed in alphabetic order (glad I’m not xwoBacon anymore, lol). Monolith, you had a great season and lead the league in enthusiasm. I insist that you get the first place prise money!
-
So is that it we tie? Lol. There’s no ties in baseball! But seriously, amazing run down the stretch, Barrels. I went into today resigned to take second

Congrats, Monolith. Great season all the way to the end! I really enjoyed the race. May your flag fly forever!

Good Luck, Monolith. Hindsight is 100%, but starting Stridor, Castillo, and Kershaw is hard to fault. I’ve got razor thin margins in OBA and Whip. It’s so close I could drop a point even if I bench my entire team. So I am going to start a a full slate and let it get decided on the diamond, go with what got me here. I don’t want to back in. It will be an interesting day!
-
I really rolled the dice putting all my pitchers out there yesterday and looks like it bit me. Good luck today barrels

Pretty crazy how a few standout individual performances can still swing the standings this late in the season. And all we can do is watch. Hang in there...this will go down to the last day or two. It's what we signed up for. Enjoy. I genuinely wish you the best of luck. You are having a great season.

There’s still time! Looks like the race for first will go right down to the wire. A 6-point jump this late may not hold…best of luck to you both!

Man, if i would just learn to start the starters i sit, and sit the starters i start, i might just escape the ERA cellar and jump up a few places. alas, it is not to be.
-
Happy Labor Day! Yeah Monolith's win probability from here is like 99.991% lol I've enjoyed this season quite a bit, even though pitching has been BRUTAL. Ottoneu has been my escape from the realities of being a White Sox fan...

I'm white-knuckling this thing to the end. Nothing is certain.

Happy Labor Day. We are fortunate to be in such an active league. Looking at August transactions almost everyone in the league was team-building, which is awesome. I was hoping for more drama at the top this month, but I doubt Monolith is going to let that happen. The Champagne is on ice! Good Luck to all.

Much respect to all of you who gearing up for football. By the end of baseball season, I enjoy a break from fantasy sports.

I'm more of a futbol football guy so I've never played NFL fantasy

Hey all -- has anyone tried Ottoneu fantasy football? Did you like it? I'm enjoying baseball season still (despite my real and fantasy teams) but everyone around me is super excited for football.

7 point swing at the top of the board last week.. Thing are getting interesting

Ten home runs in the last two days. We're feeling it now! (Of course, I'm talking about home runs my pitching staff has allowed.)
