How can we make Fantasy Baseball better?

← Fantasy Baseball

Starting pitcher weekly limits.

Like ESPN and CBS and almost all other fantasy baseball apps please allow limits on weekly head to head starting pitchers. This seems like something so small, but I don’t understand how it’s not available in yahoo.

    I started this suggestion 2 years ago and yahoo still refuses to address this or add it. Every other platform has this. Also, this is extremely important for points leagues.

    Don't listen to what the guy Chuck said below. He thinks pitcher limits are not needed in his roto league, which is great for him, but we REALLY NEED limits for points leagues!

    And Chuck, please consider there are other leagues out there in this big world besides yours before chiming in on stuff.

    I don't think anyone at Yahoo reads any of our request, suggestions, concerns, the definitely can't read the room and see the passion that we have as fantasy baseball fans.
    Boy... I can't stand this annoying, old boring white screen on every page. Believe me ..I have made lots of complaints about that. Nobody at Yahoo listens to any of us. But, I hear you u guys and I appreciate all the ideas and comments. Thanks.

    This would solve so many headaches for me if you could add weekly limits on SP's. In points leagues we have to do an honor system of starting only so many SP's per week. But if yahoo simply added a weekly limit I can stop policing manually. It would be glorious.

    Ideally you would have an option to limit either innings pitched for the week or number of SP starts per week. Then we can decide how to implement our limits. Personally I would use number of starts per week.

    Pitcher limits are not needed. Weekly transactions limits and non cumulative stats like ERA and WHIP, ensures that adding and using a lot of pitchers in a week can be as detrimental as much as it can help a managers team

    PLEASE! Give league commissioners the ability to set their own Games Started (GS) limit per scoring period.

    This topic has been 'gathering feedback' for like 10 years now.

    Yahoo please add this for the 2024 season! For a league that doesn’t allow streaming pitchers, during the week if a team has 5 guys pitch on Monday or Tuesday then those 5 are pitching again on Saturday and Sunday, it’s a huge disadvantage for the team who didn’t have a pitcher pitch until Wednesday. My league has a 12 start limit each week and it’s such a hassle to check everyone’s teams every day to make sure no one is going over that limit. Thank you!

    I enjoy streaming leagues with daily activity. I wouldnt set maximums in my leagues because it helps make for inactive managers.
    Most players want active managers, and Inwould prefer not to reward lazy players.

    While having more flexibility in how your league runs is a good thing, this rule is useless in H2H. The weekly acquisitions does this by default. Adding a weekly start cap on starting pitchers doesn't effectively balance anything or make it an even playing field like suggested. ESPN and others allow you to set your GS limit. Though if you're 1 short of your cap for the week and the next day you have 2 or more starting pitchers, they count every GS and you can exceed your cap. If you have a 7 pitching spots you could effectively exceed the cap each week by 6 starts. So 1 team may be at 10 GS at the end of the week and another at 16 GS if your limit is 10. This rule just creates a rat race on the weekends to flood your team with extra starts. If you're looking for balance you're better off playing rotisserie. Then you're looking at 180 to 186 GS difference instead of 10 to 16 a week or a 210 to 336 GS diffence over the course the H2H season.

    This is a great idea. Would allow even playing field among opponents.

  • Jay Rod commented  ·   ·  Report

    Please add this critical component

    This is extremely important. A way to balance a league and make it competitive. Please add this Yahoo.
