HLM (hockey) and Baseball manager are perfect but there's no online vs other people.
Can't do it in a phone... The guy who runs the site needs to make this easier to run from year to year. There is so much to do.
Last call, anyone want to assume commish duties?
Thank you!
Had a feeling I lost the series to the eventual champion. Congrats to the Royals!
We can consider it. Honestly we haven’t done that because no one was showing up. We could also do an accelerated slow draft as another option. We can do a poll to see the interest.
Is there any chance we can do a live draft one of these times? It seems like we make it last weeks and people just end up auto-picking anyway. We could bang out a draft in 90mins and I'm going to guess there wouldn't be much of a difference in participation. Just a thought
Series starts Tuesday. Sorry life got in the way
Thanks! Always tough playing you.
Great series royals...Rep the AL well!
World Series starts Sunday
Congrats to the Royals...always a great battle! Good Luck the rest of the way!
Insane! Great series White Sox!
Nice series' everyone, especially Texas!
Ooops Game 5's!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
4 Game 7's!!!
Thanks!
Congrats Reds and Royals on wild card wins.
Playoffs haven’t started
I haven't been available for a week or so. I play the Rangers round one. On days 177,178,179,180 I played the Rangers, is it 2-2 in the series or was that regular season
I’ll get playoffs set up and hopefully get going Friday or Saturday.
Yankees and Pirates clinch divisions
Texas Rangers have clinched as well
LA Dodgers, Chicago White Sox and Miami Marlins have clinched there divisions
Players and contracts advance after World Series.
Braves...wow...steal much?
When do players & contracts progress?
No hitter, 1 walk away from a perfect game. T.Tankersley W (17-11) 9.0 0 0 0 0 1 7 0 0 111 3.69
There was a weird anomaly in the schedule I used this season with some teams having multiple games the same day. I have rectified this but you may notice some 1 game series near the end of the season. Tried to make it fair for all.
I have starting pitching to spare and need to free up some money.
Phillies looking to trade
SP Tulley PHI on the trade block
I plan ahead but not that intensive. I'm like the 80s Yankees. I just sign the best guys I can afford to plug holes every year. It hasn't worked in a few seasons but does sometimes
Player edits are secondary positions for new owner. One time request.
I haven’t seen an offseason here yet, so just trying to get a feel for how folks do it, how much bid generally are, etc.
Anyone else plan ahead like this? Do you plan to spend a certain percentage of your $175 on the Draft vs Free Agents vs Extensions?
I’m putting together my budget spreadsheet for the next season of the sim. Just put in a few extensions.
Appreciate it! Happy to be here!
Can Commish move me to the Mariners please?
Fire points awarded to all stars (max 25)
New setup is pretty sweet
Ok thanks, just making sure I didn't miss anyone
Not this season
Are there international guys?
Trading is on
When do trades open back up? I need to clear some cap room. Updating block now.
Free agency will start Jan 2nd
progressions quietly ran...so, progress
Are we moving forward with the off season?
I hate to leave this league because I've been managing the giants like for ever. But it just takes waaay to long until things get going. I'll be looking for another league. Sorry guys and good bye.
Welcome to the MLB NATION Tgbsbl
Cool! Can’t wait! This league looks challenging.
Soon. I’ll get organized this weekend
New to this league. Just wondering when things generally get started on a new season.
Thanks guys! Look forward to competing again next season.
Congrats White Sox!
Great job Sox
Congrats to the White Sox!
Thank you to Badener85 Giants...congrats to you on your great season. The key was to keep your big 3 bats from doing to much damage, led by probably one of the most memorable player names in NATION history (Dick Swett) Time to enjoy the off season!
Congratulations to the champ kiduher and his White Sox
Good luck kiduher, looking forward to a great series.
Game rolled back as cpu simmed before days off granted. We are ready to go now.
World Series starts Saturday!!
Thank you guys...and NewYorkhighland, I know you've been in this league for a long time too...always competitive.
Congratulations Sox
No kidding! Your starters were rock solid in the ALCS.
Thank you biggofggp! Had a feeling we'd see each other 2 years in a row playing for the AL championship. Been in this league since the beginning and this will be my 8th WS...but looking for only my 2nd trophy (not a great record). Hopefully pitching stays hot!
Great job White Sox, after the last month of the regular season I knew you would be tough to beat! Good luck in the World Series.
Great series!
The Royals too tough for my Angels! It was a hard fought series going to extras in game 5! Gl the rest of the way
Sox are Whoopin me
2 games were rolled back as the series were already won.
JV Ramirez with the No-hitter for Boston! Only one walk but two HBPs.
JF , Think I’ll stick with CLE if you don’t mind me changing mind / already have a SEA team and no CLE in my other teams - Thanks !
Hey JF , I see a few familiar names ! I’d like to try to rebuild Seattle . .
Injuries are big in this league, I don't think I've ever lost multiple guys 20 games before...
Rankin made history for the Yankees last night, tossing a no-hitter against the Astros. New York won by a score of 4-0.
NYY/ATL includes new york’s 1st and 2nd rd picks.
Art Smith Perfecto VS Blue Jays
Put some VERY good players on the Trading Block. Looking for youth or high draft picks.
Off to the best start this team has ever had and then 5 starters get hurt. Fun times!
I have 5 trades out there to check out
Good luck everybody!
Good luck everyone!
Good luck everyone!!!! I love Opening day!!!
I put a few trade offers out. Check the inboxes for offers filled with prizes
Could also maybe eat a salary if needed but just one.
Players on trade block. Looking for 1st round pick
Free agency will start this weekend
Whoooop whooooop
Draft is DONE!
Only 2 picks left!
Hey gang. Thanks for you patience. I hope to get things rolling next week
No worries real life happens this game can wait
Hey, didn't mean to complain, I just didn't know if I missed an update....real life is far more important than us bums
Sorry gang have had some real life stuff come up so will keep it moving when I can but need a bit of time.
Still some teams that might want to resign players. Last call!!
What happened here?
Thanks guys!
Congrats Royals!
Congrats Royals
Thanks guys!
Congratulations Royals!
Congrats royals! Sorry guys, dropping this league
Thanks Badener!
Congrats to the Royals, great job biggofggp
Thanks. I was beginning to wonder if I was ever going to win the Series.
Congrats to the Royals! Took down the giant.
Great series White Sox. Thinking I had it in the bag up 3-1, to thinking we were going to blow it in game 7. It is awesome to be in the World Series again. First time since the first year this league started, if I remember it correctly.
Thank you.
Good job Royals
Congrats to every playoff team and good luck.
SPs Fisher and Flet her available for young players or Draft picks. Good pitchers on Expiring contracts.
Still looking to give away SP Brad McClure. $17 cap hit this year, $0 next year. Seriously I will give him to you. I just need some cap room to sign other guys.
Let's make a deal
Hi icebears, welcome to mlb nation
Welcome.
hey all, I just joined and would like to trade teams for the Brewers
Quiet League
He all, just joined. If the Phillies are available, could I run them instead?
HIDE YO BURGERS
I have one or two more guys that may join.
Hello Everyone. I see the Braves have never won the WS in this league. Hopefully, I can change that.
reds have excess pitchers looking to trade if anybody could use them
Whett Fartz says hello.
OPENING DAY ON FRIDAY
Inherited most of these
They're BOTH inappropriate!
BJ Hardick*
BJ Hardwick and Justin Sider-Bush have entered the chat
Chubby Coxx? Really? Does he hang out with BJ Cobbledick?
Thanks
As many as I can do
How many updates will there be a day with free agency?
Willing to trade SP Brad McClure for next to nothing to a team with some salary cap room. Just need to clear some cap room. Still a good pitcher for someone wanting to round out their rotation.
Results of league vote: The response was equally weighted - half in favour of status quo and half in favour of 1 or 2 years without any progression/regression at age 29. Leaning towards a 1 year adjustment to the rule but that would take place before the next progression.
Any new owners that need some quality players look at the trade block. When trading opens I have a few guys I am willing to deal. would like to get some 1st round picks but would be open to other options. Some of the guys have big contracts, but are also very good players.
What was ever decided on the vote for a progression plateau?
Most don’t. Historically that has been one of the challenges of this league. Newer draft classes have a few more than in the past.
Odd thing...NONE of the players on my roster have secondary positions...lol
Nah...Not a lot to work with on the Twins, but no albatross contracts to dump either. Start building right away
Welcome! Nothing other than the draft. If you would like a different open team just let me know.
Just joined...Lots of holes to fill on my team...I can see that the draft is soon and I have read through the rules. Anything I should attend to straight away?
any chance you can update rankings after the tweaks. I know its not an end all metric but does help some.
Progressions have been run. Might be a couple tweaks to draft class (now moved into FA for draft)
Thanks.
Not yet
Were the progressions run?
Sorry gang for the delay. I’ll try to get things organized soon
Rookie Scott Logan is looking forward to next year after being snubbed for ROY voting. 11-5 3.23 era. He’s ready to prove the haters wrong.
Play off teams have been granted cap increases per rules. Reminder, those already at $175 max do not receive an increase.
Hi. I'll try my best to turn the Rockies into a winner
Can I switch to the Braves rather than the Rockies?
Congrats to Dave and the Mets
Congrats Mets, good job getting the league running again j
Congrats on the pennants guys. Good luck in the Series
2 game 5’s coming up
Season flew by. Give me a day or so to setup playoffs
I love how every year at play off time I have players getting injured. 3 starters out with 5 games to go. SMH
Pythag says we shouldn't be atop of the division but i'll take it!
Welcome to the all the new owners. These Yankees had the second best recond 20 mins ago and it all fell apart. Let's get the trades going early next year!
We’ve had a flurry of new owners. Only 5 spots left!
You got it
Lemme get the Braves
Trade Deadline has passed. Sims resuming.
Trades out there, check your inboxes plz
Looking for a SP and/ or a corner outfielder.
All stars awarded 1 Fire Point per rules (respecting max 25)
NL All Stars are posted
AL All Stars are posted
FYI. Phillies have been over budget. A player with equivalent salary was demoted until owner reappears to rectify the issue.
Reds are selling, any veteran players can be moved.
I have some offers out there, check the boxes
Thanks and what a welcome D-Backs SP Tom Bates No-Hitter vs Nationals!!
Welcome!
Diamond Backs plz
BlueJays fire sale. Any offer considered
BlueJays please
Thanks for getting this going Commish
Season starts Monday!!! 1st sim at 8pm EST!
Thanks
Can we turn drops back on so we can clear some roster spots before the free for all free agency turns back on?
I agree with the email. Fill these teams so they are decent, I'll stop bidding on new guys and can give up some guys if needed....maybe a supplimental auto draft with unowned teams after (as well as signing some now)?
I second a plateau for progressions
When we have more owners we can take a vote
Can we talk about a plateau for progressions? It's up and straight down
Let’s continue with the slow draft and we’ll start free agency right after.
It should be open to join, or if there is interest I can send them an invite as well, just pass along their username
how do a let other know, is there a password or is it open? I will post something in my other couple leagues as they all have solid owners.
We need some more owners! Spread the word!
Thanks Jfinlay for taking over this league really wanted it to keep going
Welcome!
You have my friend, you have.
Looks like I have the Red Sox, led by relief ace B.J. Cobbledick. As far as I'm concerned, I've already won!
Off season schedule posted below. Please recruit new owners to re-fill the league. Prior owners returning will get priority on their old team.
Not it. Gonna talk to gbacci and get this revived
So that's it?
I’ve offered multiple times to help. Sucks it ends this way. Great league bigAl.
Not a question of need.
He doesn't need to get your ****
Sad to say but this league is dead. Thanks for disappearing on us nvangro. Everybody else, thanks for making this a fun experience.
We lost 8 so far..any updates? Anything to keep us busy?
So are we done for sure? Or is Nvangro gonna keep it going
If this ever gets back going let me know and I'll gladly take back my Cubs team
Nothing lasts forever. I’ll sit right here but if I can help get this thing back up and running I will. I have been a commish before.
No worries Al, thanks for a great run and all your time you have put in over the years!
Seems like we are done here. Sorry guys for quitting on you, I just don't have the time and energy to take back the reigns of the league. I wish you all well.
Fair enough. Really not in a rush. Just wanted to know where we were.
Still working with nvangro so that he gets familiar with commissioner tools. Please be patient as he is new to this and may need a little bit of time to get familiar with everything.
Any thought as to when we will start the Off-season ?
Thanks for the great run Al, and good luck Nvangro. I'm stepping down from this but wish you the best of luck.
Congrats to nvangro and his great Angels.
Congrats to nvangro for winning the LA series and taking over the league. If you're half as good a commish as you are an owner, this league will be in great hands. As mentioned before, I will be stepping down as life has just become too much to balance PC. Thanks Al for running a great league. See you all for Randy Holt's retirement ceremony!
Congrats nvangro and the Angels!
Martin Price has won the NL MVP award.
Congrats Angels! Great series Dodgers!
Thank you, mihaskins!
Angels
Congrats, Angles.
Game 7 on Monday, quite the World Series.
And it’s Whet…
There's an auto headline I like to see....Faartz blasts off, leads Dodgers to win
Good luck in the WS guys
Fell short again... Congrats & good luck Dodgers!
Rays get a $3 budget increase for reaching the ALCS as they are yet to be at the league budget maximum.
LA vs LA in the World Series.
Congrats angels
Angels, Rays in the ALCS.
Cubs, Dodgers to face each other in the NLCS. Both ALDS need a game 5 to determine who moves on to the Championship Series.
Yankees taking BP
Did not expect the rays to win this game
Good Luck Angels
Anyone wanting to trade., hit me up about any player
Brewers rewarded with a $1 budget increase for reaching the Wild Card round. A's are at the budget maximum.
Rays, Giants advance to the Divisional Series.
well guys i hate to do this but i must go... going to be picking up the pieces in another league so have to focus on that one good luck to all of you!!
Fine time to finally go on a winning streak. Well, at least we dragged ourselves over .500.
I agree with jfinlay. This league doesn’t need changes. New commish should try to do their best BigAl impression
I'd love if we could trade picks up to 2-3 years in the future.
