Title: Innings pitched
Enjoi291 - July 3, 2010 07:32 PM (GMT)
The minimum was 20 or 24. Now the last two weeks it's bumped up to 40? Why? I have 6 SP's and I barely hit 29 every week. This week I'm only at 22 so far. Wtf? Why'd it get bumped up?

Aaron bumped it to 40 about a month ago.

Why? I have 6 starting pitchers, 7 including Penny on the DL. I put them ALL in for their starts, and I still don't meet 40. . . That's the queerest thing I've ever seen. What was wrong with the amount it was at?

Basically ass fucked 3 weeks in a row now because my SP's only average 1 start a week and 5 - 6 IP each. Then I have 2 closers and a reliever. Really queer.

Updates: The weekly innings requirement has been upped to 40 innings which is still very managable for teams.
I have decided to process all future trades between teams due to excessive neglect by some managers to seek fair deals. In doing this I have already rejected one trade on the basis of fairness.
If you're trade is rejected and you wish to make a case for it please post your arguement on the forums or message it to me. We may or may not have a league vote on it.
Also if I make a trade and you wish to contest it feel free, we can make a vote on that as well.

Thats from Aaron on May 30th

It's not very manageable if I have that many starters and they've all started, except Burnett did not start this week, and I've still lost all my pitching games for the last 3 weeks.

Here's how the math works out for 40.
You have these slots available on your roster:
SP
SP
SP
RP
RP
RP
P
P
P
So 9 total slots to accumulate innings and stats. The RP slots you have are hard to predict if you have Closers and Relief Pitchers, but they really don't matter anyway.
If you start 6 starters in those remaining spots as you say you have then you still shouldn't have any issues attaining 40 innings. The playing week is 7 days long. Almost all pitchers work on 5 day rotations. Meaning they will pitch every 5 days and it's rare that they wouldn't pitch twice in a 7 day stretch. So those 6 starters each should make 2 starts get you 12 total starts.
For those 12 starts to accumulate to 40 innings you would have to average 3.3 innings per start which your starters should be capable of.
Lets just say you somehow only get half of those 12 starts and get 6 starts from 6 SPs in 7 days. If each was able to go 6 innings you've already got 36 innings from a very unlikely situation. That leaves you only 4 innings to be filled by 3 other pitchers on your roster int he RP slots.
I've been playing the whole season with 3 Closers and 6 starters until about a week ago with no inning issues.

Then why, starting pitchers, except Burnett has been on the bench, am I only getting 30 - 33 every week. . .
