You were merely subject to the Iron Law of Ottoneu - you will always start the disaster and sit the miracle. We are all subject in our own time to the Iron Law. This is the way.
-
Did I leave eugenio on my bench? Yes because ai am a moron
-
And great to see that you and Carita are in OPL too! Best of luck to you all!
-
Thank you, Cigar! It's a nice thing...though I suspect a fair drop in the standings is coming before the first cut line (which comes up way too quick). There's no way my pitching staff can continue the low BB and HR rates. And the snapshot roster system is a huge difficulty factor. But I like the OPL challenge!
-
whoa, Northern, top 75 in OPL, bravo

It's up to 7 now I think 😭. At least it's only week 1.
-
I think I speak for all of us when I offer my condolences to our brother Mill City Maestros and, well, while we’re at it, Nestor Cortes and those 5 poor baseballs who probably were on their last day before retirement.
-
TIMELINE REMINDER: MLB gets underway again on Thursday mid-afternoon! Be sure to check who is making opening day rosters, who is injured, and who you might want to pick up on waivers prior to the first wave of lineups locking. And don't forget to set your lineup! Good luck, friends.

i would have forgiven him if he had heads shoulders knees and toes. But alas, memories is all I will have henceforth
-
Dang, Vestal! You pushed Stanton until his elbows fell apart--and then you discarded him like expired meat. He's got a family to feed!
-
SEASON START REMINDER: The Cubs-Dodgers get underway at 6:10 am EASTERN tomorrow morning. Update your active lineup immediately if you have CHC & LAD players, if you want them to count. There's no retroactive adjustments.
-
REMINDER: Draft starts in a little less than 90 minutes! 7:30 pm EASTERN. See you there!
-
Hey y’all! Just a reminder that the draft is tonight at 7:30 PM EST. See you then!
-
Sorry, in fantasy sports Guinness is considered a PED that can lead to OCB - overly cocky bidding. Urine tests will go out next week.
-
Thank you, Loons! Maybe I'll come to the draft with a tin or two of Guinness for St. Paddy's. Cheers!
-
Draft is scheduled! See you all on Monday the 17th at 7:30 PM EST.
-
Haven’t heard back from folks so trying again.
To the three folks who either said that time did not work for them or didn’t vote: can you make 3/17 at 7:30 work? If not, could you do the same date at 8:30?
-
Thanks guys!
Alright we’ve got 11/12 votes in, and the leading vote getter is Monday March 17th, 7:30-9:30 with nine votes. For the people who said no to that, please see if you *can* make that time and if not, if a later 8:30 start would work.
Otherwise we’re tentatively scheduled for Monday March 17th, 7:30-9:30.
-
Voted! Thanks for setting that up.
-
Did my Doodle!
-
Thanks to everyone who voted already! Please make sure you vote by Wednesday the 5th.

Doodle poll! https://doodle.com/group-poll/participate/dw2JK8gb
I’m using the free version so I didn’t have enough time slots to include 8:30 options for all the dates. So if on those days the only time that works for you is 8:30, please let me know. Also, please do the poll, don’t email me or post your availability here. I will only be factoring in the preferences of people who voted.
Please complete this by Wednesday the 5th. Thanks!

Start thinking about windows in which you can do a draft, friends. It was a real challenge to get last year's 2-hour draft window scheduled. Season starts March 18. We will float a Doodle Poll soon. In the meantime, if you want to see how last year's draft went, here's the pick-by-pick report. Is it 100% accurate? Carita does not seem to appear on it. Were you not in the draft in 2024, Carita?

I'd like to take this moment when everyone is excited for the start of the baseball season to check in on interest for our usual sidepool. As always, I hope that we all participate, but no pressure. If you were in it last year, and want out, let me know, and if you were not in, and would like to join this year, let me know as well. To refresh, $20, and payouts are decided based on the number of managers in (typically top 1-3 finishers if all managers are in, and top 1-2 otherwise)
-
Trades are not permitted until after the draft. (If you try to initiate one, a notice should appear that the rosters are locked.)
-
Can trades still be completed or are things locked until the draft?

Yup! I'm good.

Yep. March 18 is the open in Tokyo (Cubs v Dodgers). We are starting to look for a draft date. March 6, for example, is my earliest date in that month (due to work travel). I will send some notes to people directly and try to create a map of the available windows (considering truly unavailable vs preferences).
-
First MLB game is like mid-March, I believe, in Tokyo, so do we want to aim for first week of March for draft?

Thank you, TSG, for making the cuts right quick and renewing your team with Ottoneu. You are done with moves, correct? The system did give only one round, it looks like. You're complete?
-
NOTE OF ALL -- We have only turned on Penalty-Free Cuts for Totally Stable.
-
TSG -- We have temporarily turned on Penalty-Free Cuts. You have the weekend, so by Sunday night. I recommend you make them in a single round, as I do not recall if the system will default to allowing only one round of cuts. Please visit your roster immediately and let us know if you even have access to the Cut Players function. Rosters locked at midnight last night, but we will try the Penalty Free route first.
-
Hey all,
It took me a few days to get re-upped as I was having problems with the pay system... for some reason my network was treating it like a threat.
How should I Get my cuts in?
-
THANK YOU, ALL for your work getting ready for the season! We appear to have one abandoned team, so please let us know if you have a friend who might want to try their hand at Ottoneu. We'll start zeroing in on a draft date and time shortly. Cheers!
-
Indeed! This is the moment I agonize about my roster....
-
Last day to make cuts!

Hey everybody, you have until Friday, January 31st to make your cuts. If you don’t, you will have to pay half their salary in penalties. Please make your cuts.
-
Extended! Looking forward to another season. Thanks for the reminder, commish.
-
Extended! Thanks for reminder. Everyone, pay up, or please let us know if you don't plan on playing this year!

Hey y'all commish here - one of them anyway - please do me a favor and renew your teams.
1. Tap the Ottoneu icon at the top of the league page.
2. Click Dashboard
3. Scroll down to where you see your team name.
4. On the right side of the screen click “Renew Your Dynasty.”
If you don’t renew your teams before the deadline - January 31st - your team gets marked abandoned and then it’s a big pain in the ass to fix it. So save me the hassle!
-
Oh. Also, we need to have at least $1 reserved for every open roster spot up to 40 at all times.
