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.

Either this or the option to set start limits. ESPN has this and it is having us entertain switching over. Without having a top-end limit, it is always going to be possible to "brute force" category wins.

I agree strongly in the "streaming pitchers" problem, but just limit how many starts a manager can have at the starting pitcher position to seven, just like the rest of the position players and real baseball. limiting innings would not work because some starters might go deep into games, and some might not.

In a real baseball game, one team has to get 27 outs and so does the other team. There should be an option where we make both managers pitch approximately the same amount. By having a min innings pitched and a max innings pitched, you can pull this off. It makes sense. It prevents mindless streaming from helping mindless managers.

well, considering some leagues keep track of Hits, Walks, Runs etc.... usually the guys with too many innings lose these categories while trying to win SO and ERA etc...... Let them. Maybe your league should include those stats to keep people from pitching too many innings??

Why not just set a Max Acquisitions Per Week and switch Total Ks to K's/9 ? That prevents teams from continuously streaming.

OP, why not just set a Max Acquisitions Per Week? That prevents them from continuously streaming.

A head-to-head points league just becomes a pitcher streaming competition. This is game breaking. Please fix!

Totally agree.the standard pro league isn't so much a pro skills league as a pro sit around waiting for 2start SP to clear waivers league.its within rules but Hawking waiver wire and starting the same junk pitchers that everyone's added and dropped 3x already isn't a skill. Standard category pro leagues inevitably turn into a stream fest to accumulate wins ,ks. A season transaction cap or so inning limit would solve this.i favor season total cap for transactions. A default roster with less pitcher spots may also work but is less effective and could cause issues when a team has all their starters going on a given day.

You can set an innings limit for the season. Good enough

What if all your "BN" are SP's? Most MLB Teams play 6x's a week. So why do you need BN for Batters.. My team is All SP. and 3 RP. Why should you get penalized for having all BN being SP.... Stay active in your league and your fine. PAY ATTENTION.....

My league would definitely benefit from having a Games Started limit each week especially since points totals cannot be adjusted if someone goes over the limit that we have. It would make my life as the commissioner so much easier. A max inning and max games started would make Yahoo better.

Seems like there are many features for the commissioner that have not been done and this seems like it would be an easy one. It also seems like it is causing lots of people to leave Yahoo and my league is definitely one that is looking into this option.

I disagree. In this day and age of daily fantasy people like to stream pitchers and get 2 start pitchers for the week. The most active of owners have no problem with this. If anything, have a competitive/active stream league setting and a lazy/non-active league setting for those who are just casual users at best.

Max innings limit or a limit on starts by pitchers

Why not set a weekly transaction limit?

Max innings pitched for weekly head to head matchups is needed. Very simple, scoring for pitching category stops once inning limit is met.

Agreed, we have had people quit because of 1 or 2 guys that stream like madmen during the playoffs. Totally not cool and although I like some of the rules you guys have put in place, it would be better if Yahoo just set up a max innings pitched option in H2H. I'm also going to say that IF you are found streaming during the playoffs, your team will be locked. Just hate that I have to watch over it this closely. Come on Yahoo, please listen to the user community.

This is for sure an issue in our league, would be awesome if this could be fixed

I agree that a max innings setting for H2H would be great. As a workaround, our league has been using the following rule: "Any newly acquired SP must remain on that team's roster for at least 7 days, unless he gets injured or sent down in which case he may be moved to a DL/NA spot."
We still use/like daily transactions for hitters and relievers, so our 7-day SP rule is not enforced by Yahoo. It's just a tiny bit of additional work for the commish/owners who simply keep an eye on the transactions log in case an owner accidentally drops an SP during the 7-day period.
We settled on 7 days because it allows owners to try to grab 2-start pitchers for each weekly matchup, but it has really helped with the streaming issues we've had in the past.

Huge problem that will result in my league of 5 years leaving Yahoo if this is not addressed ASAP
