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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.
