ARBA Message Board

Eric · Eric

As a public service, I've decided to post an explanation of this complex topic. It is always the hardest part of the ARBA rules for new owners to understand and can even trip up some who have been around for a while. It's almost as if our rules have developed over the course of 3 decades and been written b...

Catching up on message board. Seems worthwhile to formally propose and tweak some rules changes with specific language based on what I have been readingThese I propose at the moment (does not mean I oppose others):#1: TiebreakersCurrent language:Four [sic] teams from each league will qualify f...

A quick rundown... Game 1: Salem blasts 5 home runs, scoring twice in the 1st, 3 in the 3rd, and 6 in the 5th and tacking on 3 more later. SSS 14, WOO 1 Game 2: Imanaga, Phillips and Weaver hold SSS to only 2 hits, but Cease only gives up 1 hit over 8, striking out 12. Fortunately for Salem, one of their hits is a...

Hollywoo! is thrilled with the 2025 season and looking forward to seeing Judge and Raleigh hit a combined 700 homeruns in 2026. If you have some extra starting pitching, or a decent guy who does not fit in long-term plans, we want to hear from you! We have picks and prospects ready to send your way in exc...

Bronaugh has some young unproven players they are willing to trade: Jace Jung, Heston Kjerstad, Landon Knack. looking for veteran pitching both SP, and RP. todd

tbanes · Aaron

Bro sends Rhett Lowder, Seaver King and Bro #3 for Balis Eugenio Suarez and Justin Verlander.

Rick

Although not yet officially "official", Redwood sends Sean Murphy to Springfield for Sean Burke.

Travis

Camden sends #1, #3, Billy Carlson, Ike Irish, and $100K to Bali for Matt Olson and Tyler Glasnow

Aaron

Time has come to blow this team up and start again. This makes all Bali players available. Matt Olson, Tyler Glasnow, and Trea Turner are the most enticing pieces. We are looking for prospects, picks, and cash (in that order) in return.

What the heck, I'll try making some proposals this year and we'll see what happens. #1: Update Tiebreaker Rules: I'm very open to the earlier playoff proposal but whether that changes or not, I think we need to clarify the tiebreaker rules. These can apply with two or more teams. I propose starting wi...

I would like to propose the following addition to the end of the Fines and Penalties section under V. Money in the constitution. Any team failing to get to 40 wins in a season is exempt from any fines associated with usage provided that their roster was capable of starting 162 games, pitching 1450 inn...

The Hollywoo! Horsemen took on the Deadwood Desperados in a much anticipated playoff series. Before we began, Eric wrote, "My main thought is that the playoff matchup I've dreaded all season has arrived even earlier than expected! Oh well, I need to face the peril anyway." Indeed.Game 1: Dead...

The Redwood Pioneers look to continue their march back into relevance, but the '26 season will be a steppingstone as the rebuild continues. In that team strategy, they're looking to move the following players: Nico Hoerner - One of the top all-around second baseman in the game, but as they say, you h...

I would like to add italicized line to the following paragraph in the Pitching section under II. Rules of Play: Pitcher fatigue will be monitored by the game. The current setting for pitcher usage in the game is Use SADV Fatigue Rules. A pitcher must be removed by the manager playing a game at the be...

HAR is looking to move: Anthony Banda, Huascar Brazoban, Jake Burger, Brenan Hanifee, Yuki Matsui, and Leodys Taveras. Freddie Freeman is coming off A but I'm tempted to just pay him unless I can find equal value at another position, preferably catcher or outfield. Main need is catching and outfi...
