We look forward to a full game report from London Stadium!

Hi,
UK egghead here - on a personal basis, I’m not sure it’s hit the interest levels of Red Sox/Yankees in 2019. Lots of fuss about prices and unsold tickets as well.
But it’s great to have the Cubs and Cards coming over and the sun should be shining ((I’ve got tickets for Friday workout and Sunday game) 😃⚾️
-
I'd be interested in what our U.K. Dozen Eggheader has to report about the Cubs / Cards invasion of London. Is it causing a ripple across the pond?
-
That is quite the fascinating trade!
-
Anecdotally, I also think the pitch clock is affecting pitching. Hard to measure stress and anxiety but in these tight one pitch means everything situations the relief pitchers especially have less time to calm themselves down in between pitches. I realize hitters do too but I think it affects pitchers more. No Fangraphs Stat for this (yet).

How can you not be pedantic about baseball?

Well there you go messing with my in-depth theories with facts.

Per FanGraphs, relievers are a little worse than last year, about the same as 2021, and much better than 2020 and 2019. If I’m guessing, it’s the effects of the ball.
-
RPs kind of suck this year. I wonder if the pitch clock is hurting them since they are usually in high pressure situations where sometimes a little more time between pitches is good.

Happy opening day everyone! With apologies to Honus Wagner, it's time to stop starting out the window and wait for spring and instead start obsessively starting at the live stats page. Good luck to you and your favorite MLB teams in 2023!
-
Yeah, he's on my $$ League. Trying to figure out if I should hold him for the season at $10.
-
I'm shocked Hoskins isn't on Coastal.
-
I totally agree with that about the WBC and injuries. With maybe the exception of Diaz getting hurt from celebrating, all of these injuries could happen during spring training.
-
I actually love the WBC. Players get hurt in spring training, WBC - doesn’t really matter.
-
Hopefully Altuve will be back by May. I'm guessing you're not a big fan of the WBC right now.

What the hell man.
-
Coastal, I think you may want to drop the rest of your roster before they get hurt
-
And both those injuries happened under rough circumstances.

Alright, it's 3/16 and I just lost a second player for the season.
-
Almost ready to rumble. Kevin's Remmerswaals will be in 'Zona Wed 3/15-Mon 3/20 for boy the younger's baseball tourney. WBC (USA vs. Columbia), spring training (w/ those non WBCers) Halos vs. Brew Crew, maybe Giants-A's (I'm in the central California area, so this is THE rivalry). And more or less AWOC - so I'd love to get some trades going, but won't hit 'em until early next week. CHEERS! Heads up - I'm looking for 2B, OF, quality RP.

As usual, don’t wait for me.

A reminder that the Dozen Eggheads draft is tomorrow night at 9pm EDT. See everyone in the draft room!

Empathy meter for the champ 2 of the last 3 years is, well, low :)

Thanks to everyone for getting renewed and doing all your roster management before the deadline. It looks like we'll have a great draft -- lots of interesting players and $$ out there!
-
Cheers to your most recent cut Los Tigres

In the upper left corner of the League home page, click the drop down under "Ottoneu" and then go to your dashboard. You can renew there.
-
question, where do I make the league payment? thanks
-
I know his first name but I don't think he knows mine! ;)
-
It's working now...thx!

I did not realize our commish was on a 1st name basis with the creator of Ottoneu. We should feel lucky!

There was a technical error that Niv just fixed. I was seeing that, too. Is it displaying correctly for you now?
-
Might be a little glitch, but according to my league page our auction starts at 8pm even though I'm in PST.

We've got a draft time: Monday, March 13th at 6pm PST / 9pm EST. That's actually the day after clocks change, so for everyone in EST, at least, hopefully it won't feel quite as late. And two weeks until the keeper and trade deadline. Happy draft prep!
-
for draft date - Im good for any date I believe - but an 8 pm start time is a little late - preferably little earlier
-
We're halfway there in terms of responses to the draft poll. Please fill it out if you haven't done so already: https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/b83q9z2a
Thanks!
-
Hey all -- let's see if we can get the draft on the calendar. Please fill out this poll for a week or so in mid-March. The time would be 9pm EST / 6pm PST (and my apologies to our overseas GMs!). Please check ALL the dates you can possibly make it, not just your first choice. https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/b83q9z2a
Also, a reminder that the keeper and trade deadline is the end of this month. And that's also the time to be paid up and renew your team.
Thank
-
I’m not sure if we can use it to our advantage

I am a long time veteran of the 3am draft (living in Israel).

I’ll look forward to those fair trade requests when I wake up in the mornings and the draft at 3am GMT!!
-
We already have a GM who lives in Israel, so we are really spanning the globe now! It'll be interesting to find a draft time that works for everyone. ;)
-
W00t! we are now international! IIRC UK is 5 hours ahead of US least coast, and 8 ahead of the best coast! I'll keep that in mind when the hours go by without a response to my latest exceedingly fair trade request :D

Hi
Many thanks for the invite to join and welcome
I recognise some of you from different leagues, so I know what I’m letting myself in for 😃
I promise to keep involved from a wet, dark U.K.
-
Welcome Mark.

Hello Dozen Eggheaders -- I'm happy to report we have a new owner for Hit 'Em Up. Mark takes the reigns of the team and comes highly recommended from another Ottoneu league. Welcome, Mark!
-
Hey all -- It looks like we have another opening in the Dozen Eggheads. Hit 'Em Up just notified me that he's going to bow out. So a big thanks for being part of the league! We hate to lose GM's but a sign of a good league is also when managers know they can't devote the time and don't want their team to linger. So thanks also for giving us time to find someone new so far before the season. Speaking of, let me know if you have a good candidate, otherwise, I'll post it as available soon.
-
Hello from Brad and Oz -- what an honor it is to join you big boys in this crazy Ottoneu world. A definite promotion from all the other fantasy ventures I've been a part of. Hope I'm up to the challenge! I'm ready to apply all the tricks of the trade watching the Guardians work their magic lately. We just might need to rename the team to something with Spanish in it. Is that possible? Call it fantasy tradition.
-
Welcome to the league, guys! I like the idea of co-managers. I needed someone to talk me out of making that Judge for Giolito trade I made last year.

We have a new owner(s) for the Liquid Swords. The franchise is going to be co-managed by a couple of guys I'm in another fantasy league with who I know are good, active GM's. So please welcome Brad and Oz to the league!
