HAS SOMETHING NEW (Pitching Etiquette) BEEN DISCOVERED???
Posted: Tue Apr 11, 2017 2:25 pm
Is this legit? I have been playing SOM here for quite some time and just heard of this for the first time. I am in two leagues right now that have included this same rule:
"Pitching Etiquette request if a SP is traded or picked up from the free agents please adhere to that SP's 4 day rest period between starts unless rotation or injury dictates."
The above is all the explanation I got up front before joining these two leagues, but as requested (below):
FURTHER EXPLANATION: The guy (Daly57) who specified this "Pitching Ettiquette" in two different leagues, says that since HAL doesn't enforce four day rest period when new free agents or traded pitchers are added, he wants managers to adjust settings so their new free agent or traded for pitcher doesn't pitch until he's rested.
The idea interested me. I asked the commish a few questions about it. My questions irritated daly57 and eventually a few more because daly57 and the rest simply (understandably) wanted to get on with the league without discussion.. I wish the discussion were here instead of there. I cant recall all the good points for and against. Wonder if we can without the originator defending his idea here, but I believe many of us will run into this "Pitching Etiquette Rule" in the future if daly57 keeps it going? I don't intend to join any such leagues unless the idea is refined. There are problems to solve.
Daly57 has been invited and is welcome to provide a better explanation of his "Pitching Ettiquette Rule" and his idea of how it works, what to do when "Pitching Etiquette" is ignored.
Do you guys think this rule is needed or what? Check poll and add comments for or against below. You can change your vote as the discussion continues.
