• S.O.B. Why couldn't the Paxton news come out a week ago? They say he will miss 3-4 months, is that of the season or from now?

• death valley - welcome!

  Swamp Donkeys on February 3, 2020 9:48 AM

• Welcome welcome

  Anaconda Cut on February 3, 2020 9:46 AM

• Hey folks, just saw this team on the claim board, this looks like the kind of league I'd enjoy, so I picked it up - fair warning, I'm pretty new to ottoneu, but I'll be around and active. For draft things, I'm very open as to timing, any time after 4 pm EST on any day of the week works just fine for me.

  Future Sailors ⛵️ on February 3, 2020 9:24 AM

• My schedule just changed and I work on Saturdays now. I do get home at about 3:30pm eastern time so beginning 4pm eastern I am good to go.

  Team MLB on February 2, 2020 4:11 PM

• We haven't decided on a date but if you read below the first or 2nd week of March seem to work. I vote for Sat 3/14. in the afternoon.

• I am trying to recruit an owner. He makes trades.

  4 Balls, 2 Strikes on February 2, 2020 2:28 PM

• did we settle on a day to start the auction? i have other leagues getting their dates set and hope we can too. thanks!

  Swamp Donkeys on February 2, 2020 2:20 PM

• Lol, thats funny twice

  Proletariat Stars on February 2, 2020 12:24 AM

• I know. I was kidding. I was marking more cuts on the 31st when in the middle of it I fell asleep and missed the deadline. Oh, well.

  Team MLB on February 1, 2020 6:44 PM

• The keeper deadline was January 31. No more cuts not until after the auction.

  Proletariat Stars on February 1, 2020 6:38 PM

• So, when is the final round of cuts? :-(

  Team MLB on February 1, 2020 5:44 PM

• in my many years of fantasy baseball, ive developed what i call the tribe factor. if you look back at your past champions in ANY league that you play, i will bet that at least 75% of your first thru third place teams have 3 or less former or current cleveland indians in EVERY year. that said, my tribe factor right now is FIVE!!! i really just want to hold onto brantley and jones. if you want any others, please let me know - carrasco, perez and justis are available!!!

  Swamp Donkeys on January 31, 2020 1:12 PM

• I vote for the Brent Bridwell public league 131.

  4 Balls, 2 Strikes on January 31, 2020 12:13 PM

• shouldnt brent lee honeywell, jr be a nascar racer?

  Swamp Donkeys on January 31, 2020 11:37 AM

• I’d go for the Brent Bridwell public league 131

  Rodents of Unusual Size on January 31, 2020 8:09 AM

• or - how about the brent bridwell public league 131

  Swamp Donkeys on January 30, 2020 9:56 AM

• i think we stay public league 131. it brings up gamedayritual and brent at the same time.

  Swamp Donkeys on January 30, 2020 9:50 AM

• I think we should respect Brent’s choice to stay with public league. he was so involved in several fantasy games, did tons of research on which game was the best and most resembles operating a MLB team. He was a pleasure to play with, offering mediation when there were differences in a league.

  Rodents of Unusual Size on January 29, 2020 10:06 PM

• Thanks for the suggestion Joe. What I have done already was renamed Brent's division to the Bridwell division, while leaving the other two unchanged. This takes a couple days to take effect but we should see the change soon. I know Brent was one of the guys that asked to keep our League name as it is when it came up in discussion previously so I thought I should still keep that the same. Let me know your guys thoughts on that.

  Proletariat Stars on January 29, 2020 7:41 PM

• I support this. I know league name change has come up before but I think this is a little different this time.

  Anaconda Cut on January 29, 2020 5:26 PM

• I know of a least 3 owners in this league that played in other fantasy formats with Brent Bridwell.If we are not too attahed to the league name of Public League 131. I purpose that we change the name of this league to honor him. I suggest we remane it" Bridwell's Legacy". Any other suggestions that might be better?

  4 Balls, 2 Strikes on January 29, 2020 3:55 PM

• i hope you decide to donate to his gofundme. i know, especially as a teacher, we are inundated with requests for money, but in reading his story, it seems like they could really use the help.

  Swamp Donkeys on January 28, 2020 3:00 PM

• I never met Bred either but I was in several leagues with him in the old Gameday Ritual Company for around 13 years. The last time I emailed him was at the end of latst years baseball season. I did know of his health problem over the last few year. R.I.P Brent.

  4 Balls, 2 Strikes on January 28, 2020 1:39 PM

• Wow this is sad news. Only interacted with him on here over the last couple of years. Was always a class act. Will miss having him as a part of the league. RIP

  Anaconda Cut on January 28, 2020 1:11 PM

• Thanks for sharing Gomp. Very sad to hear. Rest in peace friend.

  Proletariat Stars on January 28, 2020 10:56 AM

• please consider giving to his gofundme. i will be making regular contributions as i am able.

  Swamp Donkeys on January 28, 2020 10:28 AM

• i played fantasy baseball against brent for better than 10 years. although we never met in person, i found him to be a very very caring person. we shared a bunch of emails thoughout that time about much more than baseball. i hope his team is filled by someone who can take up where he has left off.

  Swamp Donkeys on January 28, 2020 10:21 AM

• link to brent. he passed away on jan 17. https://www.gofundme.com/f/honoring-brent-bridwell

  Swamp Donkeys on January 28, 2020 9:14 AM

• lets try to reach out to brent before we decide to give his team away.

  Swamp Donkeys on January 27, 2020 1:18 PM

• Last team left is Brent's. Hopefully he is doing okay. If he doesn't renew we will try and pick up an owner next week.

  Proletariat Stars on January 27, 2020 12:45 PM

• FWIW...I just renewed.

  Otto Who? on January 27, 2020 12:29 PM

• How are we looking?How many still need to renew?

  Anaconda Cut on January 27, 2020 9:44 AM

• 4 gm's...

  Swamp Donkeys on January 15, 2020 8:14 AM

• We have 5 GMs left to renew, including myself. Due at the end of the month.

  Proletariat Stars on January 14, 2020 12:23 PM

• im calling for a replay of all our games for the last two seasons, especially last year. i KNOW i would have made the playoffs rather than go 5-17 since im sure i played teams which had astros and red sox on them!!!

  Swamp Donkeys on January 13, 2020 7:14 PM

• Akron, exactly as I remember!

  Rodents of Unusual Size on January 11, 2020 9:06 PM

• it seems like the compromise date would be the weekend of march 6. how is that? ill be paying on wednesday.

  Swamp Donkeys on January 11, 2020 5:47 PM

• 5000 - i played in that dudes first league as a tester. played in another deal with him and he tried to branch off on his own. his results packet was like 12 pages, dot matrix printed and copied only on one side of the paper. paid more in postage and paper than i think he really had figured he would. i think he lasted like three seasons.

  Swamp Donkeys on January 11, 2020 5:45 PM

• First or second weekend in March seems just right.

  Anaconda Cut on January 11, 2020 11:07 AM

• March 6-7 or 13-14 works for me.

  Team MLB on January 11, 2020 10:55 AM

• Mid-March is good with me.... commish how many left to pay?

  Rodents of Unusual Size on January 11, 2020 9:34 AM

• Akron, I do remember some guys in NY started something like that in the late 70’s ....it had a couple of letters as the name of the company.

  Rodents of Unusual Size on January 11, 2020 9:32 AM

• Love the sarcasm. So, what about my specific proposal of March 13- 15? Still early but enough time to have an idea what the roster spots will because a fair amount of spring training games would have been played.

  4 Balls, 2 Strikes on January 11, 2020 6:40 AM

• I really don't know how players are going to do until some time around the All-Star game. Even then it is questionable. That however would be best for me as a time to hold the auction.

  Team MLB on January 10, 2020 11:19 PM

• plus, everyone in here knows their shit. by the time we do draft, if you dont know what position battles are going on, what free agents are left and what their best fits are or the projected stats for seattle's #4 outfielder are, then an espn random roto league may be a better fit.....

  Swamp Donkeys on January 10, 2020 10:10 PM

• HA! stars. just like my kids.....

  Swamp Donkeys on January 10, 2020 10:07 PM

• Guys I appreciate the discussion. Keep in mind we won't be making any decisions until we are all paid up. Once that happens maybe I can do a straw poll and figure something out based on that. Until then, keep up the discussion if you like. I think KC really summed it up as risk tolerance vs aversion. One thing to remember is that no matter when the draft is we will all have to make roster decisions based on the same data.

  Proletariat Stars on January 10, 2020 9:25 PM

• *has to google when memorial day is* May long weekend? lol, thats kind of funny.

  Proletariat Stars on January 10, 2020 9:21 PM

• Jeez gomp you are old. Didn't realize.
