Mine isn't up there. Super cool!!

I know this is a long shot, but I was contacted by the Ottoneu Podcast guys because I reached out about this league for their upcoming trade deadline podcast. They want to talk a little about us but they don’t want to disclose our league info when we have our private cell phone numbers in a public space on our trade blocks. So if we all can take those down before they record tomorrow (I was just messaged about this tonight) that would be great. Thanks!

Man, I really commend you all for your free agent activity this year! It's never been this hard to sneak a player on your roster. Keep up the good work... I think it makes for a better league.

Am I missing something? Did a trade get vetoed?
-
I’m confused. What would there be to complain about with that trade??
-
I do appreciate everyone inadvertently telling me that my trades are all winners, it does mean a lot to me, so thank you, with that being said, he took on 2 extra players so I could free up a roster spot and $2 so I could pick guys up. Yes a move everyone should do when trying to win a league and compete this year.
-
Everyone! Everyone! Major Announcement: Please disregard my post. I am an idiot and a dick.
-
Hey Joe Kelly, not your trade. The I'm Short, Southtown trade. Southtown has already dropped 2 of the players. Seems a bit fishy to me.
If the rest of you are cool with that trade. Get off my back for my trades then. Thanks!
-
I'm very sorry that my trade for a pitcher averaging 1 point per inning hurt your feelings. I didn't know the threat of a pitcher that just gave up back to back 7 ER games to the royals and the pirates would upset you this much. I can only hope he lives up to the potential of the phenom that is Logan f'n Webb.
-
Where are all the complainers about the trade that just happened?!?
-
soooo SP... 6 homers of the 9 hits... not nice?
-
that’s a great idea, but pretty sure that’d be a niv question.. don’t think cibulka has that power but maybe i’m wrong
-
Is it still a mandatory 30-day wait period for when you can redraft a guy you've cut? Is there a way to change this and make it proportional like we did everything else. Don't know if this is even possible or if anyone agrees but it seems logical

congrats fellas! we made the list for the most competitive ottoneu leagues! i know i can be hard to deal with at times, and i am really sorry for that... but it is solely to have an uber competitive league... for those that are new and haven’t heard it before, i’ve said multiple times that i would so much rather have our league be high up on that competitive list than for me to win our league...love the engagement/activity and owners we have... keep it up everyone!

Relief pitching needs or a Nelson Cruz trade? I'm open to trades on them.

After losing my Bass and Javier auctions, ain’t no chance I was losing another reliever

that was absolutely hilarious haha i love it
-
Lol, $157 for Romo is desperation and I love it
-
but if anyone would like to trade me one of their best young keeper players for one of my prospects, please hit me up
-
is that the second highest vetoes we’ve had for a trade? i know year 2(ish) there was a trade that was vetoed but is that the only one that’s been vetoed?

Craig Kimbrel for one decaf Frappuccino at Starbucks

it’s amazing how grayson just all of a sudden blossomed into a stud since july 5th 2020 when he could’ve been had for $2 and the only logical thing to do was trade 2 of your best keepers to get this player that no one knew was a stud until july 31st 2020... oh wait...
-
About half of you have still yet to pay the buy in fee. Please get that to me by the end of the week.
-
Mmm... cold pizza is so good. I'll pass on that trade.

Buster... you're right! I apologize for not making it interesting. I'll work on my smack talk and get better throughout the season. ;)
-
Yo Lickety, I’m not sure there’s a need for shaming a team let alone trying to make a point of it only four games into a season. I don’t mind smack talk but at least make it interesting.
-
Chronic... 1.86 pts/gm with your hitters...?
-
And then how quickly you both dropped to 5th and 6th place, respectively
-
Quick and easy first place start for me and Slow Jack with those Stanton and Eaton bombs. If you guys want to just Venmo us instead, that would probably be easier than waiting all 60 games

Hey all, I need everyone to send me the $50 league buy in before Opening Day on Thursday. Venmo is easiest for me (@Austin-Cibulka). I also have Pay Pal, if you would prefer to pay a different way, please contact me.
-
Yeah that would be a question for the ottoneu developers. They are pretty active on their twitter page (@ottoneu), or another option would be raising the suggestion to this forum: https://community.ottoneu.com/c/ottoneu-fantasy-baseball/5 --- it's probably a bit too late to implement something like that for this year, but going forward these are two options I would go for suggestions to improve the league. They typically roll out a few updates every winter.
-
Any way to add DH as a position outside of UTIL, since the entire league is using one this year? Maybe that's an automated Otto setting, but would love a permanent DH lineup slot.
-
Quick reminder to all-our auction draft is scheduled for this evening at 6 central time.
-
Also, the draft is set for next Sunday, July 5th at 6 pm central time. There will be no penalties for not making game limits this year, but please everyone stay active. Every single team here has a legit shot to win money with such a shortened season. Should be interesting.
-
The poll results are in. We had a majority decision for every question. The results are as follows: $50 buy in, normal arbitration and inflation will remain if the season completes as planned (60 games), arbitration and inflation will be completely removed if the season ends with less than 60 games played and lastly, if 45 games or more are played, we will award a normal payout (1st-$400, 2nd-$150, 3rd-$50). Let me know if anyone has questions.
-
100% agree, I didn't have a chance to follow up yesterday because Ottoneu from a phone is like the DaVinci code to me, but I wanted to thank him for putting together that poll, it addresses most of my concerns about running the season. However, I still stand by that this season will be an absolute disaster from a real life and fantasy perspective, but now, I sort of can't wait...
-
side note - i think we have the best commish around... just hope we can match or top the money he is going to get when he gets the offer to replace manfred... but for realz, thanks cibulka for keeping us all organized and running point on herding the 12 owners... thanks for all that you do man!
-
Hey all- I made a little poll for every one to vote on. I think it’s important for us to get these details straightened out before we draft. Let me know if anyone has any issues:

We should definitely play. Does anyone feel more comfortable doing a $25 fee instead of 50? I don’t really care either way

Thanks Gregg!
-
The update (part 3) link at the top of the page sorts all the deadline stuff out, with more information to come.
-
I hear what you all are saying. It should be worth while for those 60gms. Any details on a trade deadline or anything like that?
-
it would suck if a high profile player (or any player) tests positive and they have to sit out for 14 days... but what also sucks is tommy john, ACL tears, breaking a hamate bone from getting hit by a pitch, etc... anyone’s stance on whether or not baseball should actually be played is 100% their opinion and they are entitled to that opinion... but if baseball is going to play, then what’s the downside to us in playing FANTASY baseball?
-
Boys we paid money to play lol, we are playing. Simple as that
-
Hey guys, what's the harm in playing FANTASY baseball this year? We've waited this long, why can't we at least get our teams drafted and rosters set, make trades, pick up free agents, plan for next year, do arbitration, etc. It's FANTASY freaking baseball. Let's have some fun.
-
I'm on board with your stance Starting. It just feels forced and who knows what players might opt out of playing like the NBA is seeing.
Also, throw in when a high profile player testing positive and then out for 14 days. That would suck all around.
-
Anyone else have the distinct feeling this season will be a complete clusterfuck? Thoughts about just punting and pausing everything? Enjoying whatever baseball we do get, in it's bizarre form. Thoughts?
-
Exciting news today as baseball finally has come to an agreement for a shortened season. I have gotten word that everyone in our league is able to hold the auction draft on Sunday, July 5th at 6:00 pm central time. Mark your calendars for that date to hold our draft. Make sure you pay attention to further details released about the actual season as there will be several changes that will affect our league. Looking forward to it!
