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.

ESPN has had this for years. A joke that this isn't an option!!!

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?

Very neccesary in H2H points format...

This suggestion is as simple as choosing Quality over Quantity.

My league's suggestion is to add a max innings pitched limit as well. Either for the playoffs or both regular season and playoffs. Because right now, in playoffs, some sp's have double the starts of the opposing team's pitchers.

Make it Happen!
If this doesn't happen, we may leave yahoo after a decade and a half.

Head to head needs a maximum innings function to help curtail excessive streaming. It's surprising it hasn't been implemented.

Head to head points leagues need to have this option

Disappointed yahoo doesn't have this option yet again. First thing I looked for today. Already tempted to look at moving to ESPN.

Maximum innings for head to head to help curb streaming, both from cycling out of the FA list and rostering 10-12 starting pitchers

Absolutely!
This is the one thing that brings down my current keeper league. Some managers abuse streaming and while I understand that whatever it takes to win should be allowed, I feel as though streaming defeats the purpose of assembling a fantasy roster. even with acquisition limits.
having the option of Setting a max Pitchers or max total starts would be greatly beneficial

Allow commissioners to place start limit for starting pitchers for the week.

Add a setting that allows the commish to set a max GAMES STARTED per week. There's a max and min innings pitched but no limit to games started. I run a high scoring H2H points league for prob close to 10 years now and we are thinking about leaving Yahoo because this feature has yet to be added. We limit our teams to a max 12 starts per week. Currently we have to monitor it ourselves so you get 1 point per start. This makes it a little easier but there is always a few times each season that someone starts more. We have penalties in place but it sucks trying to enforce them. The easy fix is to have this be a setting. PLLEEEEAAAASSSSSEEEEE!!!!!!
