We need to let everyone know what is going on in Armchair.  Some of you may already know, but here goes...

Chrisetc21 has been banished from Armchair.  The site has determined that he used multiple accounts to cheat and they are considering further action against him.  Unfortunately, despite what he said and what I thought, he had not turned primary commissioner access over to me.  As a result, he has either deleted or removed access to us as commissioners.  He has also been very public about the whole issue.  If you have any questions about this issue, please message me and I'll be happy to address it, but I will not post anything additional here.

We are likely going to have to create a new league and restore rosters.  Unfortunately, this will take work and time.  We intend to move forward.  Brian has done a great job in recruiting and has seven new GMs in the short period of a week.  This is just a set back.

I apologize for the issues and the uncomfortableness this has / may cause.  These are not the kind of issues I want to see on my watch.

This is complete nonsense.  You're a liar.  Pathetic really. 

What did I say? 

Actually this is what I said.

It's evident you both are working to take my team from me and I don't appreciate it.  You've put my transactions into invalid and advertised my team as available.  I've given you the access you've asked for to this point in good faith and it's clear you're not reciprocating that good faith. 

Chris,

First of all, I did not have any intention to take your team.

However, It has been communicated to me, since you sent your message, that you used deceptive means to build your team.  This includes creating additional accounts to trade players to yourself to build your team.

You have some audacity.  You are officially banished from Armchair.

First of all you're a liar.  Your comments make it clear you are obsessed with my team.  Second of all, claiming that I've created additional accounts here is complete bullBooYah! .  I've spent years helping run this league and building my team.  I don't need to cheat like I'm some dumb teenager.  You've got be "And a Rin Tin Tin"ing kidding.  Just pathetic. 


Yes, you're right.  You and you're team are part of the reason I left.  You beat everyone by at least 100 points every game.  You have dozens of picks in the first five rounds and tons of international $.  There's no way anyone will beat your team for the next five years.

But I have a message from the owner of this site that says you cheated and I'll take his word over yours any day.


Bullcrap.  I didn't do any such thing.  Stop making up bullcrap.  You quit because I was kicking your ass.  That's embarrassing.

I planned on beating him this year and this is before you nerf the rules.

As far as Chris goes, he has always treated me with respect, so I have nothing bad to say about him. I wish he would make our transition a little easier. Regarding his roster, I think the best thing to do would be to leave it vacant for a few seasons. Let a few contracts expire, maybe take away a few draft picks. A retool for one roster isn't necessary, we are competitors and some enjoy the challenge of a rebuild.

Actually this is what I said.

"I don't need to cheat like I'm some dumb teenager." 

"...complete bullBooYah!"

"You've got be "And a Rin Tin Tin"ing kidding."

"Bullcrap.  I didn't do any such thing.  Stop making up bullcrap.  You quit because I was kicking your ass."


It's ageism when you call someone a dumb teenager. What about Little Big League or Ogilvie in The Bad News Bears? This is still a kids game. "Let them play, Let them play." The Astros sound like Tanner when he was talking to Lupus with less cussing of course. This dude allowed himself to acquire so many picks from new owners having a fire sale that a new rule was added last year so that others could get an offer in. After all, he was the first one to know when someone joined the league. If he is that much better than everyone maybe he should look for a challenge since you all suck.

Also, what's wrong with Nerf? They have a Wargames Tournament you know. The rules were like Poof anyway because they disappeared. There was just an argument over the international money and the rules section has a link from 2016 plus it doesn't include information about how the money is distributed. It's not soft to add some rules after banishing an owner unless you reinstate him after 50 games. Good plan to try and beat the league champion though.

Lastly, sabotaging the league isn't respectful at all and supporting him is equally disrespectful to all of us. He needs to make more of an argument other than accusations of jealousy if he was just framed. What a nice staff you have is what I would always say. Support staff that is because he wasn't doing much but processing his own transactions. Don't use a picture from Breaking Bad if you're trying to look good. Is that guy a Meth Cook or a Meth Chef?

I don't need to defend anything because I haven't done anything.  I've spent years processing transactions in this league, far before you joined. Who do you think processed your transactions?  All of the 40 and 30 round drafts?  Please. 

As for this rule you speak about, I put that rule in.  Go look it up.  I also put in the rule for not being able to trade picks in more than two consecutive drafts.  That I understand how to improve my team while depriving the rest of the league of those assets isn't something I need to apologize for.  That's on you and yours. 

As for your other goofy stuff, I have on interest.

  • Daddy: If i have 10 top level AA prospects each in the top 10 of the franchise vs one middle of the road pitcher like Cal Quantrill (or pick a guy) which one of those two packages are more valuable?
    May 05, 2024, 02:39:26 PM

  • dbreer23: Take two to tango, though. Most owners with adequate or surplus SP aren't interested in prospects as they're trying to win now.
    May 05, 2024, 02:42:54 PM
  • Daddy: Agreed. But most does not equal all.

  • Braves155: My issue in LIVE currently is having Strider/Alcantara/Giolito all on the long shelf, so I am more retooling than rebuilding
    May 05, 2024, 02:46:48 PM
  • Daddy: Also agreed. Top quality pitching probably means not much depth. A few injuries can challenge you. Pitching other than top end pitching has been devalued in fantasy. Everyone wants the stud.
    May 05, 2024, 02:49:24 PM

    May 05, 2024, 02:49:45 PM
  • Daddy: I here to tell you that ALL major league pitching is good pitching. A great hitter beats a terrible pitcher just 3 out of 10 times. Which means the worst pitchers > the greatest hitters.

  • Brent: Greg Maddux had the best outlook.  He viewed himself as tye dealer/house and you had to beat him.  Just like in the casino, the house nearly always wins.
    May 05, 2024, 04:33:51 PM
  • Brent: He had that view b/c of his father who was a blackjack dealer in Vegas.
    May 05, 2024, 04:35:28 PM
  • Daddy: Yes @Brent!! That is it exactly. Pitching is the house & it always wins in the end.

  • Braves155: The problem with the minors is not the system as a whole, it is some Farm Systems are more 'elite' at being able to produce talent than others. If you look across MLB teams you can pretty easily tell the great systems from the weaker systems and talent development
    May 05, 2024, 05:57:14 PM
  • Braves155: With regard to pitching in the Minors...there is  method to the madness. It is all about what you make of it tho. I agree that it can seem certain type arms in the minors are a dime a dozen
    May 05, 2024, 06:02:39 PM
  • Daddy: Mr Braves you are my guy. There isnt anything wrong with minor league studs or flops. I get it in REAL baseball.
    May 05, 2024, 06:20:28 PM
  • Daddy: This is fantasy baseball. We dont generate revenue selling prospects and merchandising. Our top farms dont get a write up in Sports Illustrated.
    May 05, 2024, 06:22:29 PM
  • Daddy: Load up on MLB guys, then near MLB guys, and only then is the quality of your prospects matter. Ya dig ;)
    May 05, 2024, 06:24:36 PM
  • Brent: I over value minors to a fault, but I am softening on that stance.
