    Why is this taking yahoo so long to implement?

  • Billy Knop commented  ·   ·  Report

    With 6-man rotations and most pitchers barely making it into the 6th inning, pitcher streaming in h2h leagues is out of control.. Max innings per week would solve the problem. It would be some number where if you had a deep pitching staff and they all threw complete games, then you'd be fine (somewhere around 60 innings). We have limited the moves per week but can only do so much there (we are down to 4 now.. and people still clamor for more). We also use waivers and put players on waivers for 6 days. We have thought about instituting the season max moves (like 50 or 60 or something that comes out to like 3 per week..). Bottom line, if we had a max IP per week, that would be the best and most fair solution across the board.

    I am against a max innings limit for H2H leagues as punishing a team for having a deeper pitching staff seems unfair as it takes knowledge to know about lesser name pitchers which should be rewarded not punished.

  • Jason DuBois commented  ·   ·  Report

    other than adding a max transaction limit per week, there is no way to keep streaming to manageable levels

    10 years later.... still gathering feedback. Big middle finger to every yahoo user that wants this, the current #4 ranked request.

    I am going to take my league to Fantrax that offers much better scoring options since you will not take this seriously. Thanks Yahoo. I suggest other people move to the platform as well if you are looking for max pitching scoring option capability.

  • Ross Pom commented  ·   ·  Report

    Bumping this. Would love this feature so its not about who has the most starters

  • Connor Winship commented  ·   ·  Report

    Add it along with weekly so it can be used to cap the streaming of pitchers in h2h points leagues

  • T S commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add this option. It would help align pitching matchups using min and max

  • Dan Reitz commented  ·   ·  Report

    Weekly Max Innings pitched is a critical option for points-based H2H leagues.

    The only reason I migrated away from Yahoo to ESPN for this season is because ESPN Fantasy gives you that option. Yahoo's platform is way better.

    HtH leagues should have both a min. and max. innings pitched per week (e.g. 20 and 50 respectively).
    Roto leagues should have both a min. and max innings pitched per season (e.g. 700 and 1400 respectively).

  • Samson Lee commented  ·   ·  Report

    Not having a start/Innings limit is killing our league. Everyone just hordes SP. Next year I either have to nerf pitcher stats or reduce Pitcher slots to like 2 which are both stupid when an IP limit or Starts limit would make so much more sense. 7 days in a week, 7 starts.. simple.. or 63IP (7 games a week and 9 innings per game)

  • Jeremy Murillo commented  ·   ·  Report

    I'd like a setting for H2H leagues that would limit the number of games started by starting pitchers (actual MLB games started) per week.
    If a pitcher starts an MLB game, regardless of his Yahoo position designation, it counts as a start. So 'openers' would also count as a start towards the limit, along with traditional multi-inning starts. No relief appearance would be counted as a "start".

    It should be coded so that if a team goes beyond the limit, ALL pitching stats for that day are voided.

  • Tarik Warvariv commented  ·   ·  Report

    This needs to be added during this season. As other people have mentioned every other fantasy app has this as a setting. It allows for pitcher streaming to be controlled. Makes literally zero sense that this isn't an option. I'm having to track every pitcher start each week to make sure people in my league don't go over a set start limit we've agreed upon. Definitely makes me want to switch to another platform next year if this isn't added.

  • Adam Sheridan commented  ·   ·  Report

    This may be more ideal as a two part option--either a Maximum Innings Pitched or a Maximum Games Started for H2H

  • Tampa Dude commented  ·   ·  Report

    Maximum innings pitched is already a Fantasy Baseball option. Why isnt it available head to head. This option prevents cheating. Please add it

  • Matthew Castagna commented  ·   ·  Report

    Every other Fantasy app (ESPN & Fantrax) supports this functionality. Can Yahoo please update to include. I would hate to move off this fantasy platform.

  • Tate Pierce commented  ·   ·  Report

    This would be very helpful in many league settings & protect against steaming. Just include none as an option for leagues that don't want/need it.
