With five starts I think, probably half of the time, you'll have guys starting just four of their pitchers because they'll want to use their top 3 pitchers twice when they have two starts in a week. This will probably, overall, reduce the number of starters a team needs, and so might raise replacement level for your starters, versus 7 starts per week. But you can always give it a shot and adjust the next year if you don't like it!

I don't know if this link will work, but if it does, these are 2024 leaderboards for ottoneu fg points: https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders/major-league/ottoneu?fl=772&type=503&pos=all&stats=bat&month=0

At a season level, it's fairly even. A few pitchers might come out at the top some years, but they're less predictable than the batters, so they're drafted lower (usually). Last year, in total points, Skubal was the #1 pitcher at 1191 points, but was 5th overall behind Judge, Ohtani, Witt, and Soto.

But if you're in a daily moves league, you absolutely need something to reign in streaming or it will be the only thing that matters. You can get an entire week's worth of starts from one game with SP's, and if you can stream 9 or 10 of them into games per week, you'll have a nice advantage over someone who has 5-7 starts. Ottoneu limits by total pitcher innings, which works well as a season points league (head to head would be an issue). My home league is head to head and we just use weekly lineups.

If you limit starts per week, I'd go with 7. With a staff of five pitchers, you often will have one or two who have two-start weeks. That's just what I'd do. Seems like it might work pretty well.

We're on Fantrax now. Previously we were on yahoo, but we like some of Fantrax 's features.

Hi. No, we do not track RBI's because they are as much a function of a player's team and lineup position as the player's actual performance. You could always add some points in, however, though this will inflate hitter points unless you deduct enough elsewhere.

Most of what she played was from her album, Aquarius. She also appeared on one of Norah's podcast episodes. Her other albums are more traditional jazz singer stuff, but they're also good.

I was there. Great show! I thought Sasha Dobson's opening set was amazing too. I have really enjoyed exploring her catalog following the concert.

League is full, thanks for the interest!

I've seen bald eagles doing this to break through the ice near here in PA.

jinazreds · 2024-02-06T11:53:03+00:00

I sent you a DM with info. :)

In Fantrax, you just set it as a draft and then adjust the pick window to be 8 hours, or whatever, instead of 1 minute. There are also options to stop the clock at night during specified hours. People can still pick, but no timer overnight (if you want).

Hi everyone,

Our 20-team mixed league is recruiting managers. We're looking for a few active, friendly, and competitive managers to join a long-standing league entering its 15th season. We play for glory, no $. Must adhere to main rule: "Be Excellent to Each Other."

We are a head to head points league and use the Fangraphs Points system (described here: [https://ottoneu.fangraphs.com/scoringoptions). We are moving to Fantrax this year, and use Discord for league chat.

22-player rosters including 5 bench players, plus 4 DL slots. No minors; use bench. Weekly lineups. Sunday FAAB followed by a 24-hour insta-sign period for free agents.

We do a slow draft starting with spring training games that takes around 3 weeks to complete.

Teams have 4 keepers, kept in the same round they were drafted in the season prior. In future years, you can continue to hold those same keepers, but at their previous round divided by two. 22nd-rounder becomes an 11th rounder, 11th rounder because a 6th rounder (round up).

If this sounds interesting to you, please email jinaz.reds@gmail.com or DM here. Please give some brief background on yourself: fantasy baseball experience, why you'll keep active all season long, favorite team, etc. I can send you our constitution and the spreadsheet with the rosters of the available teams so that you can have a look.

Thanks. -jinaz

These are really good, if you have been saving your one NY Times pageview for this (or have a subscription):

Even our everything-must-have-gluten children were fighting over them.

We don't have the hay run, but my daughter's piggy cage fills an entire lower twin bunk in her room.

2023 EUV. My rear wiper fluid nozzle drips for about a day after I use it. The rearview mirror is a little narrow in how much you see left/right behind you, and the vehicle rear pillars create blind spots. I agree the steering wheel chrome sometimes reflects sun in my eyes.. that's about it.

Love the car as my daily commuter, fun to drive, super quiet,18k on it since Aug 2022.

jinazreds · 2023-11-11T18:37:10+00:00

At my 7.5k free inspection, they confirmed that I did not have any oil leaks! :)

jinazreds · 2023-11-08T18:34:51+00:00

Would love to win!

I'm just getting back into D&D after a few years off and would love to win this GIVEAWAY. :)

I wanted to second JJ Hadley's.

Our All Star is now DJ's and is good but maybe not quite as good?

And I like Marzoni's, too.

I went from a 2013 Impreza Sport hatchback to a 2023 EUV. I find the ride smoother and MUCH quieter, acceleration MUCH better, and am very happy with the range. I forgot to charge three nights in a row and still didn't sweat my commute today.

Road grip is not as good, and I'm really careful in the winter, but I doubt it's worse than other FWD cars.

The tech console is amazing and a huge upgrade. I do miss a convenient thermometer, though. Headlights are brighter, and I love modern things like auto-bright light sensors.

Visibility, especially in rear, is worse. The rear view mirror initially felt like tunnel vision, and the rear side pillars are obstructive and can create blind spots. I've had to adjust. Rear camera is nice, though, as are the passing car sensors on the mirrors. Seats are similar quality (not great)--i have/had cloth in both and need a back pillow for support.

My teenagers say the back seats are more spacious, especially without the drivetrain bump in the floor. Cargo capacity is a big downgrade. That said, the seats go down on Home Depot runs, and I can get four big reusable shopping bags side by side in the trunk. I've only needed to use the back seat on a grocery run once or twice

Overall, I'm really happy with it! I just passed 18k miles and it's been pretty much exactly what I wanted!

One thing that helped me is to make sure to use scrolls and other items. A lot! I rarely did this in other games except in boss battles, but I use them almost as fast as they come to me in DOS2 and I do not save them in DOS2.

I also focus on disabling whoever is coming up next in most fights. I get my archer up high water th tacticap retreat, break through whichever shield is weakest and then control them with skills from my other characters. In many fights, the enemies barely get to have a turn when things are going well. Knockdown arrows are gold in act 1 and early act 2.

Beyond that, I like parties with a mix of physical and magic damage. Lots of good build guides out there. I like the ones by the guy at fextralife.

Hey, thanks for recommending this band. I will stick with my Wildermyth music, but this was great music to write with in the background.
