The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted August 31, 2020 Posted August 31, 2020 I'd also like to note that this doesn't have any effect on me as I'll be 1st in the standings once I beat The Trew Cardinals this week.
Laika Community Moderator Posted August 31, 2020 Author Posted August 31, 2020 Keep in mind that this is for the poopy 2021 NPD. It's not like this is a lottery for Torkelson. That might influence how important everyone thinks it is. I'm sure there are some good prospects available and there might be some foreign assets in the offseason but for the most part these first round picks will not be first round picks.

There is only one Japanese guy that might even come over and have a potential impact as well. Still think we should include 2019 though and have a weighted lottery...just in case. But if we don't I don't care enough to argue.
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 You’re getting f***ed in this league worse than anyone in any other league I’m in. At least you’ll get to add a great prospect to an already very good team. I'm first in the power rankings yet I am going to miss the playoffs. This is horse poop!

Still think we should include 2019 though and have a weighted lottery...just in case. But if we don't I don't care enough to argue. Probably do something like: - All 2020 non-playoff teams enter the lottery - 2019 and 2020 winning percentage combined. 50% weight for each season. - Weighted lottery. Draw for all picks, not just #1. - The weighting will be flatter than usual. Just slightly better odds for the the lower teams. - 2020 playoff teams just go in reverse order of final playoff standings.
P2F Old-Timey Member Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 I'm first in the power rankings yet I am going to miss the playoffs. This is horse poop! While I appreciate your firm belief in my team finishing ahead of yours, you're 2 games back of me for the division.
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 While I appreciate your firm belief in my team finishing ahead of yours, you're 2 games back of me for the division. Good point. I saw you were playing 19th place and assumed you would get in, but Abom actually has a good team! Thank you for giving me some hope
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Oh sorry, are we about to start whining about unlucky seasons? You can all rim my ass.
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Looks like Luis Garcia is an illegal add by TCA
TheHurl Site Manager Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Death penalty. Maybe a Flogging too
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted September 1, 2020 Posted September 1, 2020 Looks like Luis Garcia is an illegal add by TCA Death penalty. Maybe a Flogging too I believe it was a legal add. So in the wise words of JD... f*** you suck my cock DEBUT WAIVERS - if a player with no MLB service time is officially called up any owner can request publicly that a commissioner place them on Debut Waivers, and any commissioner who sees a public request is obliged to do so. However, there is no general requirement for Debut Waivers, which are considered an accommodation for owners who cannot or do not want to compete for 8 PM Eastern Time adds, and if no commissioner sees the public request the player in question is still freely addable at 8 PM Eastern Time on the day following their first day active on the 26-man MLB roster. If a commissioner places a player on Debut Waivers they must post so in the message board thread or send an email to the league. Luis Garcia was called up Aug 29th. I added him Sept 1st. So he was actually free to be added a day and a half before I picked him up.
L54 Old-Timey Member Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 Okay looks like I'm wrong. I thought the rule was after their first appearance.
Orgfiller Old-Timey Member Posted September 2, 2020 Posted September 2, 2020 Okay looks like I'm wrong. I thought the rule was after their first appearance. The DDL is the one league that does it differently from BORED and LOD lol.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Anyone have a 2B they're looking to move?
z3r0s Old-Timey Member Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 TCA, when I acquired Jazz Chisholm, I expected I was acquiring Jazz Chis - HOLM (like Stock - HOLM). Imagine my dismay when I listen to the Jays broadcast and find out it is basically pronounced Jazz Jizm. Can't unhear that... thanks a lot.

I traded for him in a different league but I thought it was pronounced Jizz Chasm. I am disappoint too.
Dr. Dinger Old-Timey Member Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Can we still trade? Schoop is rly gud and available.
Laika Community Moderator Posted September 3, 2020 Author Posted September 3, 2020 Can we still trade? Schoop is rly gud and available. Yes. Sunday is the trade deadline! Then right into playoffs.
Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Yes. Sunday is the trade deadline! Then right into playoffs. Brad Miller tickle your fanny at all?
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Brad Miller tickle your fanny at all? Jim, you're a mess... 1. I was the one looking for a 2B, not Laika. 2. You don't own Brad Miller in this league.
Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Jim, you're a mess... 1. I was the one looking for a 2B, not Laika. 2. You don't own Brad Miller in this league. La Stella could be yours. Sent you something
Laika Community Moderator Posted September 3, 2020 Author Posted September 3, 2020 I am suddenly not getting any email notifications from Fantrax. Can't understand why. Anybody else?
Jimcanuck Old-Timey Member Posted September 3, 2020 Posted September 3, 2020 Getting an offer here and there for Darvish, if you want to join the fun
BTS Community Moderator Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Pretty good battle this week TCA. Both teams are crushing it across the board.
The Cats Ass Old-Timey Member Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Pretty good battle this week TCA. Both teams are crushing it across the board. I fell behind on the hitting yesterday. Need a nice bounce back today. Need a +2 to overtake you for first. Orgfiller is also making a run for the pole position.
Laika Community Moderator Posted September 4, 2020 Author Posted September 4, 2020 Trade deadline on Sunday. Rob Manfred is focusing on trading some good prospects/youth for reliable talent, ideally 30 or younger. I want my roster to grow up a bit via trade. I would like to move 2-4 "prospects" for 1-2 young veterans. Open to discussing lots of valuable names: Victor Robles Josh Bell Manuel Margot Mitch Haniger Tarik Skubal Heston Kjerstad Jasson Dominguez Vidal Brujan Taylor Trammell Josh Lowe JJ Bleday Joey Bart Shane McClanahan Daniel Lynch Matthew Liberatore Reid Detmers Braden Shewmake Jonathan Bowlan Jonathan Stiever Johan Oviedo Andres Munoz Also open to discussing Matt Manning, Deivi Garcia, Sixto Sanchez, Austin Martin, Nolan Jones, and Andrew Vaughn but I would surprise myself if I end up actually trading any of them. I'm not getting email notifications probably as punishment for my sins. That means I don't think I can see any notes you type under a trade rejection. If you send me an offer let me know here and I will see it faster.
Fearthedoc Verified Member Posted September 4, 2020 Posted September 4, 2020 Might move Clayton Kershaw depending on the offers I get
