Glgl everyone, five teams tied up here in the 80s is some tough competition.
-
3rd party confirms maybe it's a "me" problem so don't mind me
-
crickets from the trade-anons. noted.
-
Second half imminent, hope you all enjoyed the break, absolutely killer ASG. Schwarber on the team that... just also did the Vesia trade, hm, are we setting odds for who takes this thing? Good luck to all from here on out, some moves to be made for sure as teams decide whether they are in or out.
-
Trading for Vesia was a savvy move by LSG. I wish I thought of it.
-
shopping harper/seager having shed a lot of salary mainly would be looking at a top bat option if we are going to part with them. also have guys like springer/burleson/correa/wacha/ober available for teams looking to go for the title.
-
Just doing my best to keep everyone active…got to churn those rosters, keep things interesting.
-
Kevin doing the lord’s work wiping away all our cap penalties.

HAPPY FOURTH; NIGHT GAME TONIGHT GLGL
-
Despite those cruel intentions and clear bad faith, I wish you all a pleasant Fourth of July weekend. Enjoy it, as noted we're more than halfway home on the season, take in some baseball... especially if you are a Tigers fan, bc they play the Guardians and if anything is my spirit animal currently it is the fiery wreck that is my childhood team.
-
Whichever one of you who put this curse on me and my team, whatever you paid... it was clearly worth it and you got your money's worth, you should have no concerns about whether it was well spent. Was it one of those Etsy witches? I bet it was. I hear they can be pretty effective.
-
It's not sudden if you live where it is always swamp
-
So we're halfway there, 2456 games thru Friday and it's on to the downslope... I'm going to try the Vogt approach with my guys, tell them they need to just relax. Much respect to you all, love seeing the increased number of teams going for it. Let's keep it up, hope your summer hasn't been the sudden shift to swamp-like humidity like here on the Great Lakes. If you hear any noise... RIP Cobra.
-
looking to move Soto if anyone is interested feel free to shoot us a message/offer.
-
Ozzie you’re next😉
-
Time for the trade to the Dodgers…and .300 avg the rest of the way and 30-30 etc. ughh. Tired of over priced under performers.
-
I need an OF too😅
-
looking for another OF if anyone is interested in a move feel free to shoot us over a message. pitching and corner IF to spare.
-
Also re GP cap, so long as the player appears in the game then it will count against your cap... so, if you forget to bench Will Smith when Barnes gets the start and Smith later appears only as a defensive sub it will count against your cap, even if Smith never gets a PA.
-
Jumping the gun just a bit to note we are about 1/4 of the way in (insert lewd joke here) and I hope you are all enjoying the standings dogfight that has progressed to this point. Love the effort, keep it up, and those on the sidelines maybe poke your head up now and then if you will. Congrats to Joe on his May 11th championship trophy, always celebrate while you can, it's the zeitgeist.
-
If he is in the lineup, yes.
-
If you have a catcher that doesnt start a game but comes in for like a pinch hit at bat one time at the end of a game -- does that count towards your games played cap?
-
Im buckled

BUCKLE UP FAM

I will address one point on trades, and will credit Tony in noting that there is a big difference b/w being "open" to trades and offers and actually making said things happen... if you're waiting for the former, you might be waiting forever. Usually Kevin is out here doing the Lord's work on that front, though has been a bit quiet this campaign (I'm sure we just need to give him some time, is all), and more of you might want to take a page from that book.
-
Happy Jackie Robinson Day to the assembled! We're 10% of the way in, plenty of time to fix up your roster and make a run at the money (thankfully for me and my squad's lackluster hitting). Really enjoy the passion on display on the message board, not sure we've had that much activity in such a short period... ever, frankly. Keep it up, as you can, and hopefully we will see all the things thaw as we move through Spring.
-
This value really makes us look bad giving up Santana and teoscar in the same deal. Ohtani would have been a nice sweetener in that (kidding)
-
Oh I understand that. I’ve been in the same boat trying to trade for closers. Not getting much back in that front either.
-
We are also open to trades. Not tanking, willing to give value if receiving it back.
-
surplus value is great for dynasty obviously but there is no way I hold first all year with 3 saves, so that value has diminishing returns

I mean not wrong. Merrill is literally a dawg. For $13 especially
-
I understand, but it is kinda presumptuous to throw out something like that and not consider that I reached out to multiple owners about closer trade availability and got exactly 1 actionable item. No one wants to do a trade with any reigning champ or top team less than I (a not fully in-recovery hater) do

I’m just saying we’re all fighting a losing battle here if we’re giving Chris this kind of surplus value. He already has a stacked team.
-
I been sitting here trying to get the short end of the stick or trying to make team worse or both. I will switch it up now

Damn I never thought about trying to get better value you are so, so right

I would think you could get at least get Hader back for Jackson Merrill…gotta hold out for a little more value guys.
-
Also I’m not a fan of having to log in to get to messages to trade talk. My cell is 678-640-1653 for trade discussions . Feel free to text me

Helsley certainly on the block if that’s the caliber player he can pull! Wow
-
Man the trade value for closers in this league is bonkers
-
Welcome to the league Adam. Best of luck
-
Just a quick note that Regression to the Means now has a co-owner, please welcome Adam to the Firehouse. Good luck, hope everyone is enjoying the new season while we wait and see who loses first, the Dodgers or the Padres... potentially presumptuous of me to assume the Dodgers ever lose again.
-
Love having half my middle infield on the IL before April 1.
-
Happy Opening Day everyone! Pretty sure everyone here celebrates... lineup locks will begin for the first first pitch @ 2:55pm ET so be sure to get in and get them set if you haven't already. Good luck to everyone, the day has finally arrived so let's get the party started.

Commissioners: I didn't mean to cut gorman and now I am illegal. can you help out or nah? I literally just did it, I was looking at his stats and woof but I saw that it said roster would not be valid but my finger slipped or something idk
-
Give it time my man, give it time…or maybe I’m turning over a new leaf 😉
-
Kevin, look out! Harry is giving you a run for your money... this is how you wheel and deal, kids. Also here to say the Tokyo Series is almost upon us, get your Dodgers and Cubs in your lineups if you want those stats ahead of the early AM Tues/Wed games. From there, only a week-ish til Opening Day!

Looks like we are off and running! Just a quick note that, even though last year's standings are still displayed on the Standings page, the current tiebreak for auctions is a coin flip. We won't be on to standings-based tiebreakers until games are played to establish an order (which begins with the Tokyo Series in the early morning hours stateside 3/18).

Just a quick note to remind you all we’re less than 24 hours away from kicking off what will be the improbable 12th season of Firehouse Roto. Please let me know of any last minute cancellations, otherwise see you all there tomorrow.
