Lazyman Baseball 2024

3/19 “Play Ball!” will be shouted in the Lazyman game in a little over a week. Don’t get shut out – try to get a roster completed this weekend to tinker with until the deadline for submission, which is first pitch on Thursday, March 28. Yes – the Korea series between the Dodgers and Padres start tomorrow. Those stats will count in for points in Week 1, but rosters are not due until next week. Happy hunting.

New for 2024
All MLB teams are scheduled to start the regular season on Thursday, March 28. There is a two-game series between the Padres and Dodgers set to take place in Korea on March 20 and 21. Those two games will be included in the Lazyman game even though rosters will not be due until Wednesday, March 27.

Line-ups are due Wednesday, March 27, at 11:59 PM. I encourage you to have your roster ready to go the previous weekend so that you aren’t caught by this mid-week deadline. And yes, line-ups will be accepted on opening day prior to first pitch.

We are keeping the three changes in the scoring that was adopted last year: 3 points for a Hold, 10 points for a Complete Game, and 10 points for a Shutout. The roster size increase to 45 players maximum and the salary cap increase to $55 million will also stay intact.

So, no rule changes for the 2024 season. With the increase in offensive production last year due to MLB rule changes, anticipate that pitcher salaries will come down a bit.

Peace,
Damon
