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.

Yahoo has been gathering feedback for almost two years now - any update? Would love to get this implemented before the season starts...

I agree too. I think your original post from 2014 says it best. In my head-to-head league we've been using innings as a category and pitchers getting two starts a week throws this off. If we could cap each team's starts to say 10, it would make it a lot fairer and give the innings category more meaning. We also cap the adds per week, but like you said it still doesn't add up all the time (rarely).

H2H Categories league - please institute this so we can stop mass streaming. Takes the fun out of the game.

Chris Duke, I play in a full year roto league, so my interest is with a max starts cap for the season. Yahoo by default allows for a max number of games played by position players, but offers no option to do the same for pitchers... Rather, they penalize pitchers for doing what they are supposed to do.
Daily, Weekly, Roto, doesn't matter. There should be no format that only has an option to penalize pitchers for recording outs. -
DUKE DUKE commented
I suggested adding a "Maximum Number of Roster Changes per Week" that will prevent excessive streaming. I think it's a more direct way to limit streaming than trying to determine what the maximum number of starts should be - which could unfairly limit a team that happens to have a high number of double start pitchers in a given week. Limiting how many roster changes per week a team owner can make DIRECTLY limits streaming. Please consider finding that suggestion and voting it up.

Been almost a year since Yahoo started "Gathering Feedback" --> where is the progress?

I'd agree, but only for points leagues. For category leagues, Transactions/week is sufficient.

K's, probably, W's, it depends, QS, it really depends. Volume does not always lead to quality.

Maximum number of starts per week for teams. Would prevent over streaming of pitchers that leads to guaranteed K, QS, or W category wins. Also increases the value of ace pitchers and adds strategy of having to pick and choose your starts for the week

I am in a head to head points league and this is an essential solution to prevent teams from streaming issues that a moves cap does not solve

Maxing out the categories would be a bad idea because RPs could earn saves, wins, Ks and effect ERA and WHIP.

This needs to be done. In a Roto league, your position has 162 games they can play and that's it. Why not cap starting pitching to a certain # of starts, say 162 starts, etc. ESPN does it and we may move our league as well, solely b/c of this feature. It can be an option for the commissioner. It doesn't have to be standard

What's it going to take to get some movement out of Yahoo on this?
It's been two bleeping years and they still haven't implemented what should be a simple fix that not only Yahoo users, but many of their own "experts" have touted as better than what's currently available. -

Hook this up Yahoo so my awesome Commish is happy :)

Just an FYI to other commissioners out there I emailed Yahoo about this and they promptly responded that they aren't going to do anything about it. I've already moved my league to ESPN just wanted to let others know.

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD IMPLEMENT THIS. It is so critical to H2H points leagues that this is implemented. Without this, there is no reason not to stack your team with as many SPs as possible, even if that means starting empties at hitting positions or RP spots. This feature protects the roster and helps limit the advantages of streaming. It really is absolutely critical to letting a H2H points league run the way they are intended. PLEASE YAHOO, I BEG YOU PLEASE!!!

I would love to see these added! We already have OBP against, why not SLG and OPS?
-
Bill commented
The ones I'd most like to see would be Slugging Percentage Against and/or OPS Against. Currently we only have OBP Against and both of the above would be a superior metric and shouldn't be difficult to add.

Totally agree with this. We've wanted this in our league as well, as another means to stop streaming.
