Fun fact: three managers from Proof of Concept took in a Twins game yesterday! (Jhoan and Northern Lights are my cousins.)
We did sadly watch the Jhoans' namesake, you might say, engage in canine copulation and blow the save. There were so many flames in his entrance video! We expected better.
-
The Jhoans are really not meeting the moment as the season winds down. The last two Sundays my often productive lineup has gone a combined 9 for 85, killing any chance of winning those matchups. To borrow a managerial insult from Bull Durham: How'd we ever hit 9? (and here Robert Wuhl chimes in with, "It's a miracle.")

I'm looking to upgrade, can take on money, holler if you're looking to make some moves pre-deadline

One last non-baseball note: In the Ottoneu football league that I'm in with Loons and Vestal, we have one more team that just opened. If you are interested in trying Ottoneu for NFL, give a shout. It's a team with some excellent players (but needs to get into salary compliance shortly). As you were!
-
It's AUCTION-PALOOZA in this joint!
-
Once again, Ottoneu does a great job of reflecting what’s actually happening in baseball
-
Wowza! 5 H2H weeks left and spots 3 - 9 are separated by only 2 games (just a single week of contests)!
-
So it’s Verdugo and Jansen vs Torres for the win this week eh, Raghav?
-
Cool! Thank you, Vestal. I'll let the other league commish know you are interested.
-
I am in
-
Yo! If any of you Ottoneu baseballers are interested in trying Ottoneu football, we have one team that just opened in a league. (Lake Gage and I are both in it.) Keeper Deadline is July 31 for that football league with a draft to set in August. Teams are 20 players each in football (QB, RB, WR, TE and K). Instead of minors, you can draft college players for future stars. Let me know if you're interested!

Same as Cigar here, looking to upgrade, lmk if you're selling

Thanks! We've already installed a new ice bath, hot tub, and sauna so he can rest his wounded knee. Guerrero brought profiteroles to the welcome party!
-
Enjoy Acuna, Northern! We shall miss him.

It's a bloodbath of cuts this week! That waiver wire is getting robust.
-
I've debated cutting him for weeks. It was finally time to let go.
-
Goodbye sweet Bo. Your fall was precipitous and alarming.
Non fantasy baseball talk: What the hell is wrong with the Blue Jays? So much talent, so little to show for it. Gotta be some smelly jelly in that clubhouse.
-
I can't read "Wache" without hearing Fozzie Bear quip "Wacha, Wacha, Wacha!" as he slings jokes
-
lol we all want wacha, he'll probably get cut w/in a month

Hahaha! Yes. I lost that one ... and roundabout won it by virtue of his first start under Loons control. Don't lose heart, though! Kid has some talent. It's like life in a kitchen: Success requires getting burned at times. :)
-
Yeah that’s right fellas I WON the Spiers auction, look at me I’m so - oh no
-
It's our month of H2H, Carita! From July 1 - 28 (three H2H windows), we clunk heads.
-
Hah that is funny, got a tight race

Huh. Carita and Cigar are separated by just 0.1 pts for the season so far!
-
Nice on, Carita! Pipped me by 1.23 pts this last week.
-
it is brutal out there. I feel like its way worse than normal
-
Stats that interest only me: Only a couple of our teams have fewer than 4 pitchers on IL. May have 5+. And Art3mis and Ace are outright managing triage units. To the Waters of Lourdes!
-
Avocado toast? With sunflower nuts?
-
Hell who needs the cheese, I’ll take toast
-
Who wants Musgrove, you can have him for a cheese sandwich

Ah, it's all good, Cigar. There isn't any real way to change W-L records after the fact. It's a long season! I just thought it was good to post here in case it happens again. Baseball has really extended the scoring change window now. Poor Nolan Schanuel lost a 36-game on-base streak (last season into this) when MLB changed a stat from 6 days previous! He was only a few games shy of what would have been a record for starting a career.
-
Thanks for the clarification, Northern! Much appreciated. Also: that's tough if you miss the playoffs by one win, especially if I make the playoffs by one win. Stay tuned!

RULES NOTE: So, Cigar and Northern had a super-tight battle in Week 1, with Cigar taking it. BUT, the schedule now shows Northern winning Week 1 by 0.13 pts ... without updating the H2H record. This is correct. An MLB official scoring change might have affected player fantasy pts, but in keeping with Ottonue rule III.e Cigar rightfully retains the win. Stats update, but H2H records can't be changed after the fact. (Imagine the chaos it could cause during Ottoneu playoffs.)
-
Most of my guys are available, only problem is they’re a bunch of bums. So think about it this way: would you rather have dudes on the IL or some scrubs who actually take points away from you?
-
Hahaha! Yes. I've fired my training & conditioning coordinator.
-
That's weird, only 3 of my 18 SPs are currently unavailable. Maybe you guys should focus on your training staffs?

I hear ye. Pitching is brutal this season, with all the injuries. I've got 5 pitchers down (which seems pretty normal in our league), you have 7 arms on IL, and Ace has 10 on the shelf!
-
Marcell Ozuna is just sitting on my bench with his 89 FPTS cause i have no spot to play him, who wants him? I'm looking for SP.

Coming down to it here in this Jurassic-sized opening "week" of H2H matches! Vestal Virgins 'roided up this off-season and is way ahead on home runs (8 more than the next nearest). Alameda might crack 1100 pts for the round. And Cole World is banking pts while having three open roster spots. He's acting like Gene Hackman in Hoosiers sending out only four guys: "My team's on the court!" I'm desperately trying to hang on to my matches, but Cigar keeps closing and Jhoans surpass

Yandy Diaz available for SP

IT’S HERE!!!! *elmo fire gif*
Please commence your wailing and gnashing of teeth about how teams don’t set their rosters early enough.
-
Get those lineups set, friends! Games resume on Thursday.
-
Sorry, probably should have included *cries*
