5x5 Pitching Staff Questions
This my 1st 5x5 league. Pitching has 900 innings minimum. Thats around 35/ week. In your experience when does innings management really come into play. For example, If im doing well in a ratio late in season due I scale back to just to make innings limit? Do you usually end up punting a category. Can you win a league punting more than one category.
Re: 5x5 Pitching Staff Questions
Usually, in 5x5 leagues, innings minimums are cosmetic. In mixed leagues, teams will amass 1100-1400 IP. There's no way to compete in W and K without being in that range. You can design a strategy to punt W/K, making sure you have saves and low ratios then using the extra assets on hitting to crush the counting stats, but it has very little margin of error. This strategy entails drafting a bunch of middle relievers but all it takes is one or two to have an unlucky season and the ratios are shot. most leagues switched to 5x5 in an effort to force the pendulum over to starting pitching.
