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.

In points head to head league, pichers can help get you a lot of points. It would be great to limit the starts to what you wanted. We are able to limit pick ups, but a team could load up on starters and we want to keep it at ten. Its a feature allowed on other platforms.

Need a “maximum IP” for Head-to-Head Points League or “Start Limit” to prevent excessive steaming.

Yes, good suggestion. Not just needed in H2H points, but H2H category leagues, too. We have a maximum number of SP starts per week (13) but it's basically just the honor system. Your competitors like Fantrax and I think CBS have this ability.

Max IP needs to be implemented. Puts everyone on even footing. You're not simply streaming to win. In H2H pts format you can't steal catagories with having one great start. It all cumulative pts. but when someone has a heavy arm week and they use ALL their pickups on SP's you can't catch them. Please fix!

Having a 2-week championship match-up (and maybe even a 2-week semi-final) negates the advantage of the streaming strategy and makes for a fairer result too less flukes.

Streaming is a legit strategy. Start up a custom league that discourages it if you don't like it.

Please set a max innings pitched or max starts per week for weekly H2H category leagues, this is a major flaw.

I agree. The commish should be able to put a max on starts per week for starting pitchers. People just stock up on starting pitchers and stream pitchers all week. Batters stats become meaningless.

Email me @ godscowboys2001@yahoo.com. I will show you how I do it in my three leagues. Also, need a co-commish in my D-League.

Try putting negative points. I've run a point league for years with no maximum acquisitions. Bad pitchers should hurt you just as much as good pitching helps

One way to prevent streaming is to allow the commissioner to require a minimum amount of hitters and pitchers.
If the league allows up to 23 players on a team. The commissioner can determine how many hitters and pitchers of that 23 players have to be rostered on a team.Example if a team can have up to 23 players on a team. 13 of those 23 players have to be hitters and 12 have to be pitchers.
Or require teams to have a mandatory starter for each position for every game.

This is a horse **** idea. People that have a stupid 7.0 limit who only play relief pitchers would be at an advantage. If I have a bunch of pitchers who pitch every 4 days and twice a week, I should be penalized because people don't want to add more pitching and use their NA spots for hitting? Stupid idea. I get it. But stupid.

our h2h points league has become nothing but a streaming SP league. Yahoo needs to come up with a rule to prevent streaming. as it is now, whoever streams the most, wins. perhaps a maximum innings rule would take care of the situation. i enjoy playing points baseball as long as mindless streaming is prohibited.

Max IP HAS to be implemented. It is by far the major flaw in yahoo fantasy baseball. A max starts would be the best option as it limits the advantage of double starts. If I go up against 7 double starts to my 1, that’s just as bad as streaming. Especially if this happens in the playoffs that’s a guaranteed 2 categories (standard at least) with the chance of getting the other categories as well. It’s obviously less likely to win era and whip or whatever the counters are, but 7 more starts GUARENTEES 2 with the ability to just keep throwing and fight for era and whip. It’s remarkable this still hasn’t been addressed as it’s SO obvious and so avoidable. Fantasy baseball isn’t about how many pitchers you throw, it should be about quality and matchups. Transaction limits are nice too, especially weekly, however the flaw there is the double start issue. Again, if someone has 2 or 3 more double starts (not uncommon) than you are starting out the week down 0-2 before it starts essentially. PLEASE MAKE THIS CHANGE. Yahoo is better in every other way, but this is a deal breaker

Need allow commish to add a MAXIMUM innings pitched or set number of starts per week.
It's too easy to win when you can stream starting pitchers in a points league (we do have a 5 transaction limit, but still need an innings max).

Add the option for a max IP's for the week just like you can have a max IP for the season (rotisserie) so that you just don't cycle 4th and 5th starters to get as many starts/innings for the week. Fantasy BB should be about skill, not streaming. You don't stream batters, so why do we have it such that people stream SP's?

Agreed similar issue. Max IP on the year would solve it. Give everyone 1,700 IP available (or pick whichever number you'd like). Evens the paying field. Spot starter become WAY too valuable without this feature. PPL clamoring for an SP owned by 1% of Yahoo, while All Star hitters remain on the wire.

More helpful would be a max transaction limit of either season total transactions (excluding trades) or lower weekly limit. The roster size specifically the use of 4 pitcher spots lends itself to constant streaming whereby a team may use 6 adds a wk to max the pitching starts and use volume of innings and stats from ****** pitchers to win 3/5 pitching categories. Inevitable 3-4 end up rotating the same junk pitchers each wk and it really is not a skill or a realistic game.
