Scoring - Maximum Innings Pitched option for Head-to-head leagues
Requests to add maximum innings pitched requirements for H2H leagues. Currently, this feature isn't supported in H2H leagues.

Unfortunately we will be moving to ESPN due to this not getting resolved. A total joke that this isn't an option.

This has been the biggest issue in our league for years. I understand the issues with a max innings setting, but attempting to add and start as many starters as possible is a bigger issue for us

There needs to be an option to set a maximum number of innings pitched in weekly head 2 head categories baseball leagues

Add MAXIMUM innings pitched PER WEEK in Head 2 Head leagues. This way managers can not "stream" pitchers.
They can not add and drop pitchers every single day just to inflate their K's and W's to take those categories (ERA and WHIP may not be cared about).
Especially with a cap on player acquisitions... if one team is capped it is unfair advantage for another team to abuse pickups only to gain stats the other team can not reciprocate.
Teams should try to win with their team and not pickups daily.Also, would like to adjust settings for ONLY PLAYOFFS as well. As commissioner, i watch pickups during playoffs because we agreed to only allow 2 pitchers per week and 5 batters per week.. This has helped streaming a little but having the option in league settings is vital.
both of these settings together should stop everything.
PLEASE MAKE THIS CHANGE ASAP!!!

I came here for this exact thing!!! streaming is incredibly hurtful to overall enjoyment and "fairness" of our league.
We have daily lineup changes and a cap on maximum player acquisitions for the season. This means one team can "stream" pitchers daily against another team who has no pickups left and that team takes K and W easily.
It would be ideal to set a max on pickups as well for different positions! Example: maximum pickups for pitchers during playoffs is 2 per week. Batters is 5 per week. -

This is needed so badly! An innings limit would also work. Ideally commissioners would have the option of doing either. I think everyone knows the problem and anyone who has ever played a weekly format knows the problem. Why isn't it fixed!!??

Weekly H2H format needs a max innings pitched rule. H2H is not workable with daily rosters because people will stream pitchers and you'll get 30 starts a week. HOWEVER, with a maximum innings pitched and preferably, a maximum games from batters setting too, it would be workable. It would still be workable only with the innings limit. Right now H2H points needs weekly rosters which is hardly workable with the new DL rules and all that ****. I am getting crushed in at bats every week cause I have multiple players get nagging injuries and I can't change my batting lineup.

This is exactly the change I came to request. A maximum IP option in H2H categories would solve a lot of issues. A maximum Games Started option would solve everything.
A previous commenter suggested limiting waiver moves per week. We did that, and it did help a bit. But teams can still sell out other positions to overfill their benches with SPs (ie, roster no RPs or catchers).
Thanks Yahoo, make that add please.

I would love if the commish could set a min/max for all positions, esp SPs. Mgrs in the lge I commish, FULLY LOADED, had SP overkill in the past. I wanted to do SOMETHING about it and the best thing I came up with was to switch to our current Roto format, much to the dismay of the majority of our 10-teamer (H2H for 4 seasons from the start of our inaugural '13-'14 ssn).
I totally agree with previous commenter, Angel Vila, about the idea of more quality pitching options, because some mgrs in my lge used to focus so much on SPs, not position players (even when they had batter positions vacated -- e.g., they would go long periods without, say, a backcatcher).

Please make this fix yahoo. Fatal flaw. There must be a max starts and/or max innings pitched option in settings for weekly head to head and points leagues.

Brandon commented
Yes, this is a huge problem in head to head categories as well as points... teams can just load up on starting like 13-15 SP every week and racking up K's, Wins, and staying competitive in ERA and WHIP, while punting saves but this still gives them an advantage in 4 of the 5 pitching categories. There NEEDS to be a setting for "maximum innings pitched" and ALSO a setting for "maximum starts" by Starting Pitchers for each week. This is a huge loophole, please fix this asap YAHOO.

If this isn't changed by next year we will be moving our league to somewhere else. Please change add this setting ASAP.

sbhunter commented
if your commissioner set the max move's per week two say five and max for year say 75 shouldn't this stop some of this ?

Raider Durrrhh commented
yeah and put a **** transaction limit on your standard leagues. **** turns into a stream fest by end of season. 1st of all its not realistic for a team to be adding 3 guts a week then cuttibg them then in 2wks they add the player again. 2nd it devalues the draft. 3rd its unfair to players who cant be devoting time in middle of night waitibg for players to clear waivers. it really just discredits the game overall I feel.

Angel Vila commented
Please we need a tool to limit the amount of starts and/or the amount of innings pitched per week in H2H points league. It does not make sense not having this tool, even more when sites like ESPN has it. We need to be able to avoid those teams that are constantly changing pitchers and putting them in their starting lineup every day to gather more points. We need to have quality pitching instead and that can only be achieved by setting a limit in pitching.

Limits on pitching (as well as hitting) exist in "Points" leagues. Why ON EARTH do they they not exist in "Head-to-Head - Points" leagues? I'm talking specifically about the "Max Innings" option. Without such a limit, everyone in my league would use a 10-man rotation- the incentives would be there to use as many starting pitchers as possible.
Further, the ideal formats for pitching limits would be "Max Games Started" and "Max Pitching Appearances." I'd imagine most leagues would set the Max Games Started limit at 162 and tailor the Max Pitching Appearances to the number of SP and RP roster spots in their league. But there would be no harm in allowing Max/Min options on a variety of categories, no?
Yahoo, this is a FATAL flaw in the "Head-to-Head - Points" format. My league will not be able to participate in the format as it's currently configured. Can you please fix ASAP, before Opening Day?
To any other Commissioners/Managers who have played in Head-to-Head - Points leagues, can you share any thoughts/advice on this?
