Simplify your product line-improve
I think it would be an overall improvement if you stopped offering points leagues for all sports except football of course.that is the only sport points scoring is intended for. Other sports(bball,baseball,hockey) just focus all efforts onto a improved roto/ h2h cat. Format. People playing points baseball for instance are not discerning individuals they will play whatever you give them. Meanwhile us real fantasy gamers will be happier.

Option to Count Pitchers' Batting Stats
No one can explain why pitchers' hitting stats are excluded. Pitchers have been batting since the 1800s. Ohtani has nothing to do with this, except to the extent that he sheds some light on the omission.
If I set up a H2H league and choose, for example, Runs as a category (as in pretty much all leagues), why should I not get every run scored by the players I drafted? Why are some excluded, just because the run-scorer also pitches? Please, let's make the scoring make sense for the first time.

For the H2H in a points league, a stat for catchers throwing out baserunners would be a good addition
In a head to head points league there are additional stats that you can have for specifically for infielders (like double plays turned) and for outfielders (like outfield assists). It would be nice to have a stat for catchers such as points for throwing out a baserunner. This would also add a little bit of value to the already struggling catcher position.

Weekly Roster Locks
Right now there are only 3 configurable settings for Transactions in leagues :: Daily-Today, Daily-Tomorrow & Every Monday :: While these configurations are good for most leagues, it fails to provide an option for a Weekly league. The “Every Monday” option works for most weeks in the year, but for elongated weeks, i.e. Week 1 - which runs 3/29-4/8, it fails to provide a true Weekly option.. This is because after 4 days of games, rosters become editable.
Now, a league can agree to not make any changes to the teams on that Monday and run with the rosters you…

Adjust total points
I've never been in a league where the Commissioner can't adjust the total points for a given week. Can you fix this

RAPP stat Category
i'm in a H2h Points League and the stat category RAPP appears to be bugged when you go to try to search for relief pitchers for the season (total) it shows that no pitchers have any Relief Appearances, but when you search by the last 30 days the Relief Appearances now show up.
609th rankedHey Jon, thanks for calling this out. Our engineers are working to fix the bug. Should be updated soon.

Outs for Batters
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE have this added into the scoring! Currently, we are penalized -.5 per ab. Imho, it would make more sense to be penalized per out than AB. Ty!

Minimum Innings
Please add a Minimum Innings pitched selectable option for Commissioners. Let leagues decide how to handle the influx of RP only play.

WAR
Fangraphs or Baseball reference WAR as a stat option. More advanced stats in general would be nice.

Option for Roto Leagues to have a first half and second half standings
The idea for this is to have a split season for leagues. My league would like to have a first half and second half winner.

Please move the Trade Deadline to an earlier date in Pro leagues
Teams that are essentially eliminated from the playoffs are sending significantly better players to some teams when they have no real chance of competing(finishing 3rd or better of making the playoffs).
Make the trade deadline earlier so if they want to forfeit, they will have to give up a better opportunity at making the playoffs or cashing in a roto league.

Roto Standings point changes should be color coordinated.
I would like to see a Visual Change to the Roto league standings where each category would either be colored red or green or default depending on if you moved up or down or stayed the same for the previous day. It would help greatly when quickly looking at the categories that I am targeting improve on and following my day to day progress.

Live standings comparisons between colleagues
When you choose to highlight differences between yourself and another manager via the live standings graph, relative differences on ERA and WHIP ratio's are depicted incorrectly. A smaller or lower ERA compared to your colleagues should be depicted as "ahead" (green), not "behind" (red). Stated another way ... your algorithm that highlights the difference bands between opponents only works for counting stats...it should be reversed for ratio's.

My entire lineup is non-scoring?
Why is my entire lineup non scoring on July 1? Is this a mistake, or do I quit Yahoo baseball? I mean why should the baseball season end on June 30?

Why doesnt your Fantasy Baseball ranking go by number of Wins like real Baseball?
Fantasy Baseball shouldnt be scored like Hockey. Wins should determine Playoffs. Make Wins 1.5 points-Ties .5 points-Losses.0. Wins like real MLB should always be the deciding factor to make Playoffs. Simple fix

add ability to not forfeit all the pitching categories when a team misses the min IP
When a team misses the min IP, all the pitching category points are automatically forfeited over to the opposing team. This give unfair advantage and extra points to an undeserving team. Add the option to only grant points for the categories the opposing team was winning, not all categories that are forfeited. We want the team that misses the min to be punished, but not unfairly reward the opposing team.

Scoring in the matchup page is consistently wrong
The live updating matchup page often has incorrect scores, adding up stats for teams incorrectly and doubling stats from the previous day in the early morning hours. This makes the matchup page very difficult to use if it can't be trusted to have the score of the matchup right ... which should be the main priority for the page given that that's the only thing you can really see on the page. Please fix this, or just kill the live updating matchup page, since it just doesn't work.
