• We have another prospective owner ready to claim the Truffles. Username "bigwhisky." Co-managed in 301 and 649 before taking a hiatus in 2022. If you have any objections, please let me know by tomorrow morning. Trying to get a full slate of owners before arb ends!

• Welcome. Good to have you here. Enjoy the rebuild.

• Welcome to the league!

• Greetings Bull Durham, new manager here. I’m from MI, and lived for many years in DC, so I’m watching slow MLB rebuilds (?) in DET and WAS right now. I was attracted by the relegation rules here, and am looking forward to rebuilding at Ottoneu speed. I’m on Slack @mgoodrum, where I can be found in #baseball-cards and occasionally posting questions in #podcast

  Chattanooga Ringtails 🦝 on November 7, 2022 3:49 PM

• bring them on in!

  Rose in the Front 🌹 on November 7, 2022 11:59 AM

• Yes from me

  TTBNL on November 4, 2022 11:12 PM

• OK.

  Eckfords ⚾ on November 4, 2022 9:54 PM

• No objections from me.

  Runs Against All Reason 🪶 on November 4, 2022 9:37 PM

• I've got a prospective owner! User "mgoodrum" contacted me on the Ottoneu community group and is interested in Keep Austins Weird. Played Ottoneu the last couple years. Asked some smart questions about the league (level of prospect hounding, keeper inflation trends). Good enough for me to line him up for a vote! All in favor?

  Caimans 🐊 on November 4, 2022 9:34 PM

• Speaking from commish experience in other leagues - this period between the end of the season and the trade window opening is just the worst for finding new owners. If no one bites soon we might need to find a temp volunteer to do arb and then open the search again in a month or so.

  Runs Against All Reason 🪶 on November 3, 2022 10:14 PM

• Hi everyone, I'm having trouble getting bites on the open managerial slots, despite multiple postings on Ottoneu boards and the Slack community. If you can think of anyone, please let me know, so we can get these slots filled promptly.

  Caimans 🐊 on November 3, 2022 10:00 PM

• Thank you all for the congrats! I’m glad Brian will be staying with us 😀

  Rose in the Front 🌹 on October 7, 2022 8:49 AM

• Congrats to Rose. Great season.

  Asheville Tourists on October 7, 2022 1:41 AM

• 🙏🙏🙏

  Sunflower Seed Finger ☝️ on October 6, 2022 10:50 PM

• OK, we already have a majority vote in favor of retaining Brian! Easy enough. Thank you for the quick response. Now we can move on to other business. Please let me know if you are aware of potential new owners for our other two open slots.

  Caimans 🐊 on October 6, 2022 10:48 PM

• Next order of business: Three teams posted less than 14,000 points, triggering our "relegation rule." Two of those teams are not returning, but Brian (Sunflower Seed Finger), a long-time member of the league, has indicated his intention to do so, if we will have him. Retaining him as an owner requires a majority vote of the remaining league members (9 of us). Please send me your vote (retain or not) within the next week via a direct message. Thank you.

  Caimans 🐊 on October 6, 2022 9:08 PM

• Congrats, Rose! You are a beast, but we are coming for you next season!!

  The Syndicate 💣 on October 6, 2022 5:23 PM

• War of the Roses! Congratulations on another title. At least the league kept you under 20,000 points this time! Congratulations also to The Syndicate and The Eckford for taking 2nd and 3rd in what became an epic battle for the higher playoff seed (or something).

  Caimans 🐊 on October 6, 2022 8:19 AM

• Congratulations, Rose, on another season well run.

  Eckfords ⚾ on October 6, 2022 8:00 AM

• Thanks Skubal!

  Rose in the Front 🌹 on October 6, 2022 12:10 AM

• Congrats Rose on the back-to-back championships! That’s a heck of a run - great work.

  Runs Against All Reason 🪶 on October 5, 2022 10:35 PM

• Leaguemates, Casey of Keep Austins Weird let me know he is hanging up his spreadsheet and walking away. Old Ottoneu players never die, they just get redrafted. It's been a pleasure, Casey!

  Caimans 🐊 on October 3, 2022 7:46 AM

• Nice battle for Second Place!

  Eckfords ⚾ on September 22, 2022 6:34 PM

• Am I allowed to apply for the open position in anticipation of getting kicked out due to failure to meet the minimum point threshold?

  Sunflower Seed Finger ☝️ on September 19, 2022 2:37 PM

• Will (Savoy's Truffles) has let me know this will be his last season in Bull Durham. If you have manager candidates, please let me know. Thank you, Will, for the good times playing fake baseball with all of us and best wishes!

  Runs Against All Reason 🪶 on August 20, 2022 8:13 PM

  Caimans 🐊 on July 10, 2022 7:52 PM

• Just wanted to let you know that I'm headed for a vacation. I'll be slow to react to trade talk and offers in the upcoming weeks.

  Asheville Tourists on July 8, 2022 2:49 PM

• I was really looking forward to get another nice start from Cole. Turned out great.

  Asheville Tourists on June 10, 2022 2:54 AM

• The unkindest cut of all.

  Eckfords ⚾ on March 30, 2022 9:38 PM

• Sorry, I had to uncut Longoria because I didn't realize cutting him would make my roster illegal by virtue of not enough cash available for the empty roster spots. Never had that one before!

  Caimans 🐊 on March 30, 2022 9:33 PM

• when you have $19 to spend the player queue process is pretty straight forward lol

  Rose in the Front 🌹 on March 14, 2022 3:12 PM

• Happy Draft Day everyone! Don’t forget to load up those player queues!

  Runs Against All Reason 🪶 on March 14, 2022 1:19 PM

• Yes, 8 PM, thanks for the reminder to change it here!

  Caimans 🐊 on March 12, 2022 4:09 PM

• It looks like we pushed it back to an 8pm ET start on Slack

  Runs Against All Reason 🪶 on March 11, 2022 7:53 AM

• Baseball is back!
  
  Is Monday's auction time at the top of the page correct - or does it need to be pushed back an hour?

  Koufax Curveballs on March 11, 2022 5:57 AM

• 8pm works for me....

  Chattanooga Ringtails 🦝 on March 1, 2022 9:36 AM

• 👍

  The Syndicate 💣 on February 28, 2022 10:13 PM

  Eckfords ⚾ on February 28, 2022 9:46 PM

• For non-Slackers, does 8 pm EST work?

  Eckfords ⚾ on February 28, 2022 8:43 PM

• 7PM Eastern is a bit too early for me, i can do 8.30PM or maybe 8PM

  Hungry Hungry Homers on February 28, 2022 11:00 AM

• Managers: is 7 pm EST on March 14 acceptable for the draft? See Slack. Thank you.

  Eckfords ⚾ on February 27, 2022 7:57 AM

• I need feedback on draft time on March 14, especially from the West Coast teams. Please comment on Slack.

  Caimans 🐊 on February 24, 2022 11:39 PM

• guess thats a no...will fill out the calendar

  Little Red Birds on February 17, 2022 10:35 PM

• Posted in slack as well, but here's a place to mark availability for a live auction: https://xoyondo.com/dp/G9s8ISO95GwAO0A

  Little Red Birds on February 17, 2022 11:01 AM

• im not on slack anymore but can make myself available when needed for the most part

  Hungry Hungry Homers on February 17, 2022 10:58 AM

• I am available for a regular draft any evening in March.

  Eckfords ⚾ on February 17, 2022 9:32 AM

• Posted my support for the slow draft on the Slack channel.

  Asheville Tourists on February 17, 2022 6:01 AM

• Let's all head over to Slack to continue the Draft Day discussion, as it's a better format for an extended conversation.
