Reverse logic

I was just thinking.
If you are playing in a small cap league where the hitters cards are weak, wouldn't the best strategy be to have cheap, bad pitchers with low endurance? Then set them for a slow hook?

That way they pitch a lot of innings at F0 and all the rolls go safely to the hitter's cards.

Creative thinking...it would seem to be a sensible approach.

But the risk is if enough opponents also forego pitching for hitting, may be a fly in the ointment, regardless if they use the same pitching settings.

At the least, it's worth a try depending on how the league shapes up after waivers.

I've never tried it but get frustrated when a dead arm pitcher breezes through an inning by taking advantage of the bottom of my lineup.

Sure can understand that.

Also, do we know that 100% of the card lookups revert to the hitter card at F0? And is it a gradual degradation from Fn down to F0? Never could define the black box algorithm quantitatively in that respect.

Stop making fun of my pitchers, Lab. They try really hard, ok? It hurts their feelings when theyre called "cheap, bad pitchers."They even occasionally get Bonds and Williams out. Would you believe...very occasionally?

I haven't spent too much time researching but it's not exactly 100% even at F0.
X chart rolls and ballpark rolls still seem to stay on the pitchers card.
And very rarely you will get something else.

I think this is a very interesting idea, but I'm skeptical. Here is the glance at the rosters of a 24-team 60m league. I think I would still rather have a crappy pitcher's card call the shots over the hitters' cards for most of these opponents.

that looks like a fun league Matt
