Question

[[e-mail]]

Why are there caps on IPs and batting on the Yahoo?  I'm trying to wrap my head around them too.  Truth be told also, this is my first year in roto in probably 15 years.  I've had to get kind of reacquainted with cumulative goals as opposed to the H2H I been fixated on for that span of time.

Only so many games/innings in a real mlb season so only so many in cashman.

Because if not, then you could just pile on innings or at bats to win the counting stats. As is, there is an extra level of strategy that makes you ration your innings/games.

Yeah, I guess my real question is why the cap, what is the thought behind it? They don't even seem achievable if my math is correct, so why even bother capping? Or is that just something that automatically comes with the roto format? If I overloaded on SPs in RP slots I could max that IP limit. I am curiously +1 over on a few position players games played.

It would be very easy to hit the innings cap.

La is on pace to go over. I plan on getting close and depending on whether i need saves/holds may hold off on starting guys.

I hate caps. Lemme stream to my heart's delight! But it's the law of the land. I obey the law.

Streaming isnt quite as fun either cuz you gotta pay half their salary when you cut em

Yup I made the mistake and now trying to idle my innings while not violating rules. It's been a very tricky 2nd half for me but I am getting closer to the cap target.

I think you need full lineup of batters but pitchers do as you please
