I dropped way back and did not understand why. Well, upon further review, I had very little starts last week. Cutting some fat and I went a bit too far on SPs.

Put these on the league message board just so they’re easier to find.

Every hitter on my team that doesn't play for the Rays is fucking useless. Every day it's just a parade of 0-for-4s and a .550 team OPS.

Thank God for my two Tampa Bay _andys.

for a roto league, there are some wild swings.

Usually things balance out by the all star break with our somewhat stacked rosters. Then it becomes a awful trying to make up ground.

Have i mentioned how i love that i can't play Ohtani as a batter when he pitches.

Fucking fuck fuck

Guess it is time to start skipping his starts

What’s frustrating about the QS thing is that since we have a limit on starts, any start that isn’t a QS is a net negative for your team. 

Hunter Greene just had a QS but they left him in for the 7th and he gave up one more run.

How about when your starter gets knocked around by everyone on the other team EXCEPT your hitter. 

Goldschmidt 0 for 4 with 2 Ks against Kershaw today. Everyone else teeing off like beer league softball.

Fuck, I just got the 5.2 IP near-QS.

I actually prefer QS to W, but that does kind of sting.

personally i prefer wins because it makes some relievers more valuable and closers can snake wins late in tie games.  like you said about it being a net negative - right now any closer than comes into a non-save situation is a no-upside scenario.  even a scoreless inning with 2k isn't much in a season-long roto.

not only have we had a ton of 5.2ip, but we also started luis garcia when he got injured after one batter.  plenty of ways to waste that start.  the qs stat is going the way of the dodo in today's mlb.  pitchers care about 5 innings because they want the win.  nobody cares about 6.

There's pros and cons to both - and let's be honest, I'd probably bitch either way - but the reason I like QS is because in theory the pitcher has complete control over it. Can't say the same for W.

I do think you have a point about shorter starts. MLB teams are way more cautious about workloads than they were when these stats were invented. Feels like a huge deal these days when a guy goes even 7+ innings.

you're right, though i would say sometimes the mgr or even front office has more of a say than the pitcher, even if he's going well.  some teams don't like pitchers facing the other lineup a third time in a close game even if their pitch count is under control. 

in most cases they would prefer the sp go 5ip, 1er than 6.2ip, 3er, 100+ pitches.  unless we're talking about the verlanders of the world, of which there are few.
