haha I've seen that. hilarious. my buddy ordered some lol.

I laughed each time we passed it on the highway traveling to and from Texas.

So who's getting the sexy iPhone 7 with me Friday??

I'm happy with my Nexus 6P but it does look sweet. Those AirPods are just looking to be lost though haha.

Not until I pay off my old iPhone! Still like 14 months away... Maybe the iPhone 8 when it comes out.

Ok getting one and I'm so damn excited. I agree about the AirPods. I want them but they are too expensive to just lose.

It comes with analog adapter

So I'm happy

Yeah and to order more they are only $9

'Skunk in the outfield': How the most epic trick play in history broke baseball

For 2 minutes, 32 seconds of pure chaos, a high school state championship game in Rhode Island entered a parallel universe -- and unleashed the longest hardball stalemate of all time.

That is crazy

I love it, I coach HS baseball too and this will definitely be in my playbook!

If anyone is looking to join an ESPN fantasy football league at the last second. My buddy’s league drafts at 6pm central. Let me know if you’d like to join!

Can I draft on line?

ya the mobile app works great. i did that in my work’s espn league 2 nights ago.

My youngest has baseball practice at 7 eastern so as long as I can get drafted by 830 eastern I can join

ya we’ll need to do that anyway with the chiefs-pats starting at that time 😄

Lol. True ok send me he invite

• there's an opening in my PBF league http://happybandits.com/ootp/online_leagues/pbf/ - Vanuatu is open, a real challenge, they've never made the playoffs in either AI years (20) or Human GM years (18) - note this is a potential ratings only league, so if you like trawling through stats, this league is for you
  
  and an opening in SBC http://happybandits.com/ootp/online_leagues/sbc_main/ - Cantebrury is open, potential and current ratings set in Australia with modern day stat outputs - 30 years of human GMing across nearly 4 real life years
  
  note I don't GM in these, commish only

I never understood the desire to manage in the stats only league...

REAL BASEBALL IS BACK!

yeah its all over the state now..I live in FL. I'm debating to go watch the Mets again...

what part?

im headed to ST on Friday

actually going to see my GFs mom...byt its right by ST, so thats close...right?

ST, not ringing a bell

spring training

nats play in west palm 🙂

I live in WPB, the Nats play at the new park just opened..I dont know why i blanked on ST lol

I've been to St Lucie to see Mets a few times..and Jupiter to see Cards/Marlins

the new park looks cool...haven't been there yet. The Astros play there...too..

no one cares about the astros

LOL

When I was in Austin, most of my baseball teammates were Astros fans with the others being Rangers fans.

Looks like I'll be going to a Royals game some time between April 24th and 26th... vs either Brewers or White Sox.... welcome to join us Matt, if that's not a 'Cardinal' sin for you.

Yes that would be awesome!

I like going to Royals games

Hey @mstreeter06 how do you remote into your computer? Can you remote into a laptop if I left it at home?

Hey @zach I use a program called TeamViewer and yes you can. It just requires a quick setup on both systems.

Hmm is it free?

Yes for personal use!

Sweet! Thanks!

You bet. It's pretty straight forward to use but let me know if you have any questions

Any of you guys listen to the Effectively Wild podcast with Ben Lindbergh?

Ha that's awesome

Zach have I asked you where in central IL before? I’m in normal.

I currently live in Rockford, IL, where I'm from originally. Parents-in-law live in Brimfield, about 20 miles west of Peoria. that was our jump-off point!

Yep I know where brimfield is. I’m from Chillicothe originally.

Very cool. Did you ever go to Chillicothe Paints Indy league games?

That’s in Ohio I think. There is a Chillicothe OH.

Ohhh

Makes sense. I drive through chilli all the time

Never seen a baseball stadium

Yeah only 6000 people there. Peoria has the Chiefs, class A for the Cardinals.

Yep I’ve been to my share of those!

At the Rivets/Mallards game in hometown Rockford tonight, that logo looks familiar 👀

Neat to have it in town. D1 players up and down the roster.

Ah cool, Does Rockford have a minor league team anymore?

Yeah I'm familiar with the league, forgot Rockford has a team

Nope, not for like 15-20 years

I go to Illinois State baseball games from time to time since I live here and I went there, they send guys to that league in the summer sometimes

Rockford Cubbies single A was the last one

hey guys - I'm looking for some great GMs to come over to one (or both) of my leagues, i know you'll enjoy them, I commish only and don't run a team!!

SBC/VBL
Two leagues based in different states in Australia, team available is Essendon, who is in the Grand Final of the VBL right now, great time to get invovled with a great roster, and the draft going to start in about a 5 days!

https://statsplus.net/sbc/
http://happybandits.com/ootp/online_leagues/sbc_main/rules/

PBF
Based in the pacific islands (yep, Tonga, Samoa, Fiji etc. 2 x 6 team leagues with no interleague play and DH in both, this league is special, no current ratings, potential ratings only... teams available are Tafuna Clippers (major challenge, smallest market team and finances need to be controlled well but #3 pick in upcoming draft) and Noumea Devils (32 pick in upcoming draft). If you love stats, and going deep into OOTP work out who to pout on your rosters and who to play, this league is for you!!

World’s Tallest Man Statue in Historic Alton Illinois

How tall is he?

I think he was 8 feet 11.1 inches. He died in 1940 so maybe the record has been broken. Haven’t looked it up yet.

Hi all.
I have an 8 team Australian league starting up. ABL structure. I have 3 teams open. Adelaide, Auckland and Perth. As soon as I fill spots we are starting the inaugural fantasy draft. Message me if you’re interested. Only using slack, Sims will be 7 days, but abl games just have 4 games a week, so I reckon it’s the perfect second league!

Since I mentioned it in the Draft chat https://www.youtube.com/user/x24rocks if anyone wants to check it out lol. I stream all my other videos on twitch and then upload them to YouTube, I’m basically talking to myself but I’d like someone to talk to so I make videos.

looking for GMs in both my SBC and PBF leagues....

both sim every day of the week, have shorter than MLB length seasons and some unique quirks to each (e.g. PBF is potential ratings only with a DH and feeders and open slather on finances, while SBC has no DH, tighter rules on finances)

SBC (Eastern Suburbs & Cronulla vacant)

He runs great leagues. If you are looking for a second or third league, I'd recommend.

agreed completely (I’ve crashed out of his leagues a couple of times, but that’s always been due to me trying to take on more leagues than I can keep up with)

an update...

Cronulla is taken in SBC< so only Easts available (and have someone looking for a spot there too hopefully)... so for a league with a twist, come and try the PBF!!

PBF (Honiara & Nadi vacant)

and thanks for the kind words @yuda @qdog915_pa

(in game years)

yep Eastern Suburbs... you know you want them back @yuda 🙂

You yourself just said you’ve got a taker!

'hopefully' was the key word....

they need to get a pc before they can join... lol

Minor barrier.

easts is now taken, guy got a pc 😄

so we're full again... but PBF Is still looking for GMs...

Got excited for a sec thinking there was a ootp version of front office football I hadn’t heard about.

they're allegedly working on one

(with the actual developer of FOF)

but it's been in development for years now

I believe because the original guy they hired passed away

yes -- well I'm not even counting that

Francis's game was evidently complex enough that nobody other than him understood the code

but they brought Jim Gindin on in... 2017?

It’s been that long damn

yeah they announced the original version (Beyond the Sideline) in 2014

then Francis had a stroke, I think, and ultimately died

yeah, it looks like they brought on the FOF guy in 2017

I'm not holding my breath anymore. At some point we'll get a pleasant surprise. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

I agree but as long as the baseball game keeps being great I’ll keep supporting them

The little part of me wishes that they were the work with Wolverine studios lol Because a little OOTP Magic & those games could become even better

Anyone having an issue with slack where read messages keep showing up as unread next time app is opened? Sometimes it corrects itself after a couple seconds and sometimes not.

Man if I had just put one paycheque in GameStop shares I would’ve made my yearly salary by now

Seems unsustainable. Will be interesting to watch though!

Oh it’s completely going to fall back to normal some time soon GameStop is not $150 Share Company but From my point of view It’s nice to see Hedge funds practises used against them for once 😂😂

Might make a good movie I like the Wolf of Wall Street one day

Always weird when Reddit leaks into the every day news!

Haha definitely on the Reddit point. Same thing happened here with Reddit in KC and Boulevard Brewing the past few days with a story with them. Got to love Reddit lol.

Social media man who would’ve thought lol

I'm the commissioner of a Yahoo Fantasy league and we have an opening to

https://statsplus.net/sbc/reports/news/html/leagues/league_106_top_prospects.html

it's a probably not a full rebuild, but a middle of the road rebuild to get some ML ready players inf ree agency/trades to add to the upcoming prospects

can you let me knwo ASAP

Nah mike, let him or her have it

Has anyone ever used an El Gato streamdeck before? I just bought one and I have some questions about setup!

I haven't myself but my boss has one in his office and loves it

I can’t wait to get it set up. I teach broadcast at my school so I’m going to use it for our weekly news show.

Not sure if anyone is looking to add another league, but I'm in another that's got two spots open for a reboot (majority of returning owners).

The basic concept is as follows:
- MLB themed without divisions starting in 2022
- Relatively balanced finances across the league
- Full Feeder Leagues (HS/JUCO/COL) - NPB/KBO/LMB
- Three independent leagues -
Arizona Fall League
- 30-year Pre-Simulation
- Fantasy Draft when GMs get added to the league
- Scouting is turned off
- 20 - 80 Ratings. Ratings over max not shown.

Heads up that this is a discord (not slack) league.

Right now there are two openings (Houston, Atlanta, Oakland). One team hasn't made a choice as they don't care so thus three options. Shoot me a note if you're interested, but likely the last two spots will be filled shortly with the draft starting next week.

😡 my hosting provider, Dreamhost, considered the storage of our yearly almanacs as a TOS violation and removed everything without warning which is super nice of them.. This was really just for StatsLab so I'll have to reupload the contents for that when I have a chance today so just a FYI in case anyone visits and notices. If anyone ever needs a yearly almanac zip, let me know and I have them stored on my NAS on my home network.

wait what part of the TOS could it possibly have been violating?

(Also, I concluded a long, long time ago that Dreamhost had turned into garbage. But I guess if we want to keep statslab you can't use netlify or similar)

It was something about using their hosting for data storage of the almanac zips instead of their dedicated cloud storage offering.

I swear these last 3 comments are in a different language haha

ok that's irritating

honestly you could probably stick them in a public dropbox or google drive folder for as often as we need to download them

Ya pretty annoyed it was without warning as I would have just removed those zip almanac files and anything else I had that was an issue

lolwut WFT just traded for Carson Wentz

Commanders is a horrible name IMO

Yep. Horrible name and stupid trade. But seems like nobody is impressed with the college QBs this year

As a Lions fan, 100% agree and hope we don't take one unless it's a mid round pick

I don't see the Lions taking one without a tradeback

They aren't taking one at 2. (Or wherever they are picking)

They'll
Probably take a WR given their history. Lol

They have the Rams pick in the 1st too.

That's the pick!

I kinda like Willis to the eagles if he's there at 15, but I wouldn't trade up for him

I might also feel differently if they didn't have 3 picks in 5 spots

True on that

You've heard of Wordle, but how about WARdle. Guess todays MLB player… https://wardle.app/

hey guys, looking for a couple GMs for a long running (60+ in game years) ootp league (currently on version 23) based in Australia

Open Teams: Canterbury Bulldogs & North Melbourne Kangaroos
Statsplus page: https://statsplus.net/sbc/
League rules: http://happybandits.com/ootp/online_leagues/sbc_main/rules/

DM me with any questions, or if you'd like to join this great league!

There is an opening in the Yahoo Baseball League that I head up. Real players, keepers, $75 entry with four of the eight teams at least breaking even. If you're interested, contact me at gomberglarry@gmail.com

@channel hey guys, some openings in my leagues...

ABL
Set in Australia, a very long running league (longer than PBF). Sim 7 days a week, 7 days per sim. Has current and potential ratings (1-10) and tightish financial rules.

Team available is South Sydney Rabbitohs https://statsplus.net/sbc/

PBF
Set in the Pacific Islands (Fiji, Vanuatu etc.) this is a potential only league (i.e. no current ratings are shown, so reliance on stats etc.). Sim schedule the same as ABL, sim every day, 7 days in game per sim.

Apart from that free to offer any type of contract to players (6 year max deal). (edited)
Teams available are Samoa Nautilus and Port Moresby Wigmen
https://statsplus.net/pbf/

HSS (ootp 22)
A very cruisy league, we reset every 10 years, coming up on this soon. Think if it like a fantasy baseball league using all players in history (as at ootp 22). No scouting, no draft, just the same players, all edited to start the league at 22 years of age.

Watch the HoFers make their way to the HSS HoF. Also, once we reset each 10 seasons, we also change the rules as well, so this is your chance to jump into the rule setting of our inaugural drafts etc. Current team available is Brooklyn.

https://statsplus.net/hss

DM me, I know you're keen!!

For those who like boxing / my brother boxed in a charity even last Thursday night. Ran into this guy!

Rolling out some enhancements tonight, mostly related to Hall of Fame, with a few rWAR-related improvements sprinkled in. Note that it may take up to a day for all of these new features to show in your league.

Reliever of Year, and League Champ
- Player cards show position average for HoF metrics

Player page history tab
- shows more HoF metrics, including averages for position and HoF
- highlight HoF and retired in similarity section
- show league rank in rWAR
- much faster load of tab via reduced database queries

Player page pitching stats tab
- red highlight for rWAR season leader

Player Leaderboard page
- Show rWAR leaders

Some screenshots included here: https://headwayapp.co/statsplus-updates/hall-of-fame-metrics-and-more-303324

From Dave with StatsPlus:
While working on my own league, I found there wasn't a real easy place to see league stats across the years a league has been running, so I added a couple pages for league batting and pitching stats for each league in a game, including minors and international leagues.

One use of this might be for commissioners looking at league level modifiers, who may want to make adjustments. I purposely didn't add totals, since leagues can expand and contract, and it could look like something odd is happening with counting stats. Also, the pages mostly show data from the league_history table, which includes all stats, even from players who may no longer exist.

Feel free to DM if there are additional stats you think would be useful.

Another update from Dave with StatsPlus:
On a roll this week...

To go with the League Stat History added earlier, I've also added Team Batting and Pitching Stat History pages for each team. Tables include highlighting of the highest and lowest in each column to make it easier to see where seasons stack up, and all the columns are sortable, too.

Love the stuff he’s adding!

Let’s go Chiefs!! @mstreeter06

those in NPBL, that Slack workspace is not loading at all or only partially. I had to run today's sim there without StatsPlus because of this too. I see that NPBL Slack isn't loading for me on other devices so who knows who is seeing stuff there.

Helping out another league I'm in. Let me know if interested

padres A new era
San Diego Padres
Farm: 2 top 100 Prospects - 23rd
Budget: 152 mil - 23rd
Fernando Tatis Jr accumulated 140+ WAR for the San Diego Padres, but has left for greener pastures. The new era of Padres baseball is upon us. Do you have what it takes to succeed where Preller failed?

reds Is 100 million dollars enough to build the next Big Red Machine?
Cincinnati Reds
Farm: 5 Top 100 prospects - 15th
Budget: 148 Mil - 24th
After 3 playoff appearances over the last 6 seasons, the Reds rebuild has began as they finished with the 2nd worst record. However with only 38 million on the books next season, the opportunities are only limited by your negotiation skills?

Happy birthday @jeffnewmexico !!!

Thanks!

Dear AFBLers... 😄 I would love your support in coming and grabbing one of the vacant teams in ABL, a league I sim. It's based in Australia and has been running nearly as long as AFBL. It 's current and potential ratings (1-10) and has a few financial limits on it, but not too restrictive.

Statsplus page: https://statsplus.net/sbc/

History and rules: https://ablootp.nicepage.io/

Vacant teams

• South Sydney Rabbitohs - need some love and care, but one of the original founding teams with a long and proud history


• Collingwood Magpies - newly vacant as the GM moves from there to the previously vacant East Sydney Roosters, close to being a playoff team, just need a little TLC to get there


• Essendon Knights - historically strong, but fallen on tough times, need resurrecting!


• Sth Melbourne Swans - perennial cellar dwellers, will you by the one to take them to the top??


• Carlton Blues - also a perennial powerhouse with a long and proud history, but now find themselves in disrepair, it's your quest to rebuild and conquer!

wow - all spots filled, but if anyone else wants on the waitlist let me know!!
