my post was intended to jinx it!!! Me trading you Cal Raleigh has not hurt either. Long season ahead...
-
Post Hype is humbly taking advantage of a strong lineup built by the previous manager while butchering my pitching staff. Don’t jinx it though!
-
That's gotta be the first time a Dylan lyric has ever appeared in an Ottoneu trade block. Love it.
-
https://genius.com/Bob-dylan-thunder-on-the-mountain-lyrics Verse 3 - I think trade blocks are useless so I’ve taken to putting up Bob Dylan quotes. As for trading, I don’t like it much. Some people do. It takes all kinds.
-
Post Hype is running away with this thing!!
-
Free Manitoba.... I like your recent statement update in the trade block. I need to know, does this mean you are willing to make trades not or not :)
-
Haha -- I will now watch Giants home games and wonder "are any of them wearing fleece pants? Nah. . . but maybe?"
-
Papi throwing players under the bus like a true co-owner. Devers will be nice and cozy between ABs, lounging in the clubhouse on Barry Bonds' old heated La-Z-Boy. That and wearing fleece baseball pants will keep him warm during the summer months. We are thrilled to finally have a professional hitter.

I request a comment from our SF-based GM on the Devers deal and this quote from Big Papi: . . .In a situation like the one that developed, Ortiz said, the player is not in control. Devers, lacking a no-trade clause, did not even possess the power to influence where the Red Sox might trade him. He has yet to comment on changing coasts, but Ortiz said, “I prefer to play in Boston than freezing-ass San Francisco for the next 10 years.”
-
Agreed! Only so many SP slots to go around. That’s one for the ages.
-
I would say that would be the not incredible part of the day...
-
What is truly incredible about Coastal's score today day is that he had 142 points on the bench!
-
Wow, did I dodge a bullet. Not skill - luck.
-
It's early, but I nom Free Range for Manager of the Year.

Nester Cortes' 2 inning pitched and -73 points has got to be one of the worst Ottoneu lines ever -- good job Free Range having him on your bench!
-
I’m not sure I’ve ever been in first place this late in the season!
-
A reminder that the draft is tomorrow at 3pm EST. See everyone in the draft room!
-
thanks guys, looking forward to joining

Hi Kolpean, welcome to the league

We found a new manager for Obviously Five Relievers and a hearty welcome to him! The team is in need of some TLC and it looks like we've found someone excited for the task. Because OFR didn't make any cuts before the deadline, the new owner will allowed to make a round of penalty-free cuts, which should take place by this weekend.
-
Hey all -- We're looking for a new manager for Obviously 5. The previous manager didn't pay the league fee nor do his cuts by the deadline, didn't respond to an email checking in, and all of that, along with the issues with scheduling the draft. . . well, it was time to move on. So if you know of anyone who would be a good, engaged manager, please let me know. Whoever takes over the team will be able to do roster cuts even though the deadline has passed.
-
Just saying, the auction is overrated. Last month of the season is when you build your team.
-
Until someone beats him, Coastal has every right to exhibit his pompousity.

I don’t believe I’ve been to the auction in 3 years and it’s worked out pretty well.

There was no other date among the 20(!) I asked about that worked for as many people. If you want to fill out the poll now we can see if we get close on any of the dates that you can make it, you and I can discuss via email about reaching out to the other managers directly who can't make it to see if they might be able to. Otherwise, this is it.
-
OFR -- I posted twice about the draft poll earlier this week (each post generates an email), and then emailed you directly yesterday. Everyone else has responded, some people more than once, or said they are flexible. It's part of the commish job to remind people of stuff, but after three messages, I'm at my limit. We always start scheduling the draft this time of year.
-
Sorry you feel screwed OFR. I'm sure our fine commish will fix this.

This is bullshit. I only saw the invite to the draft time yesterday. It's only frickin January, guys. I am not available on this date due to a work engagement. Did I agree to this? No. You screwed me on the time last year too. Not cool.
-
We have a draft time, and for once a time that will work better for our overseas GMs! It's Sunday, March 2nd at 3pm EST / Noon PST. Happy draft prep everyone, remember the keeper deadline is the end of the month, and the deadline to renew your team and pay the fee is the end of this month, too.

Well, four people have responded and already there's not even a day that works for even those four -- oy! I've added some additional dates at the beginning and end of the poll, so even if you've already completed the poll, please fill it out again to add your responses for those new dates. If you haven't done it yet, please do so. Thanks!
-
About a month until pitchers and catchers report, Dozen Eggheaders, so that means it's time to get the draft scheduled. We'll do our normal poll. And, as usual, please select ALL the dates you could possibly make it, not just your preferred times. I put a lot of dates in the poll so that we hopefully only have to do this once. Also note some added earlier times on the weekend dates, which might be better for our overseas GMs. Thanks! https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/epBVMvrb

Thanks all! Excited to get going & learn the ins and outs of Ottoneu.

I'd like to welcome the newest member of Dozen Eggheads: the ownership of Post-Hype has changed hands. So a big hello to Jonathan as the new skipper of the franchise. Best of luck!
-
Hey Dozen Eggheaders. I'm afraid we may need to make a change with one of our managers. Post-Hype hasn't been on the league page since August, didn't do arbitration and hasn't responded to several messages I've sent. I wanted to let everyone know to see if anyone knows him and can reach out. Otherwise I'll be looking for a new manager (I have one possible candidate already).
-
Two days left to complete arbitration -- if you haven't done it yet please finish it up by Thursday. Thanks!
-
Congrats to any Dodger fans in the league. (And my condolences to any Yankees fans who had to witness that brutal 5th inning.) A reminder that it's arbitration season -- be sure to get it done by the deadline on November 14th. Thanks!
-
Congrats to Coastal. I think we now call it a dynasty.

Great run, Coastal - Congrats! (Maybe you can help manage the Nats next year?)
-
It’s dumb luck Coastal Empire. You’re an excellent player. Congratulations again. And Los Tigres del Norte - that was a grrreat run at the end.
-
Well done Coastal
Cheers for the season Guys, see you in arbitration
-
Hats off once again to Coastal! Absolutely amazing run and I tend to think there's more to it than a little luck. :) Huzzahs many times over for the champ! The Scarlet B's are almost relieved to have finished in third and not second again -- I was going to have to change my team name to Always the Bridesmaid and I really didn't want to do that.
-
Congrats Coastal! Nicely played.
