I hope he's ok! Send me a PM on here if you reach him and league starts back up and such? Thanks!

As a friend of his, it would be appreciated if you stopped bothering him. He has recently been diagnosed with COVID-19, and does not have the time or energy to put into running this league. He has asked to not contact him and to let him rest and recover through this tough time. Next time, maybe be a little more considerate and don't post his info for people to go and annoy him.

That is terrible! But at least just post one explanation for the action and not leave the other 29 GM's in limbo. I am sorry this happened.

I hope he recovers but he should have sent a message and kept the slack so we could figure out a course of action

You at least being his friend, and helping him start up the league should have conveyed to the rest of us the situation, and communicate to us what had happened.

"Whats up, everyone? My friend and I are starting up a new OOTP 21 online league and we still have plenty of spots remaining. He made a post earlier about this league (username is raymondb11), but I wanted to make a more in depth post about different rules and such of our league. You can find these rules in the #rules channel of our discord, but I thought it would be easier for you guys to see what you're getting into before joining."

Thats so sad. Hope he recovers.

I am so sorry for what has happened to him! I know I won't bug him but I will hope for his recovery!

Terrible news, will be praying for the guy. Just weird how he wouldn't send out a message before disbanding an entire league. Wasted so much time in that league now for it to all go to waste. He had the time to delete the entire slack chat and stats plus but not the time to send us all a message? Seems weird.

I am starting a league beginning at 1961 and will go well past current season. If interested, read about it here.

Honestly, all it would have taken would have been one e-mail from either the commissioner or his friend and no one would have even made this post - if there was time to pull the Slack offline, there was a time to let everyone know.

But beyond that, I certainly hope for his full recovery.

I am looking for 2 active GMs in vrMLB if anyone is looking https://statsplus.net/vrmlb
