I want them to have 103, but let's just try to train them to give me seven, eight innings, which you can do, by the way.
Like, I don't understand why all of a sudden that's such a bad thing.
So that's one way to do it.
The other way to do it is limit roster manipulation in the farm system and roster big league rosters by only having 11 pitchers.
If you only have 11 pitchers and you've got six bullpen guys, good luck.
Trying to get four and five innings out of your starters every single time and couple that with you don't have an elevator system where you can just have guys come up and down at will.
I would have quit.
I would have flat out quit.
And I know that, well, here's what's going on again in Stratomatic Baseball.
When you do this, you're basically telling whatever that starting pitcher is that's coming in behind that can't face the lineup three times or the top of the order, you're saying to him, you're not that good.
And so you've already impacted that next guy because he's coming in in the second inning.
He realizes he can't face Aaron judge in the first inning, but he's eventually got to face him.
He's just only going to face them one, maybe two times.
So that again on paper has ruined baseball.
And again,
but it's not against the rules.
So that's the rub, right?
And I think when you start getting cute with the game and you start thinking on paper is the maximum success rate, it just doesn't work.
Like it works in a game by itself, but if you keep doing that, look at all the teams that did that.
And then the one problem, I don't have a problem with analytics.
