  • Tactic or Cheating... what do you think??

    Rick Stanton by Rick Stanton . Oct 3, 2012 7:52 PM . Permalink

    In our league, one player was 2 IP short of the limit and loaded up with eight starters. He said it was a tactic and within the rules. Others say it violated the principle of the limit and that it was cheating. What do you think.

      while its technically not cheating, its certainly a bit of a slimy move. Be that as it may, other players in the league can technically do the same thing if they so choose - so its not necessarily an unfair advantage.

      On the other hand, if someone - like in my league - maxes out their allowed innings pitched, and then decides to cycle all of the probable starting pitchers for the next couple of days in order to prevent other teams access to the waiver wire, that's REALLY slimy.

      Between your crying about the great pitching waiver tactic and you calling this "slimy" you must be one whiny, pathetic little crybaby. If you are a little infant about some free internet fantasy baseball I would hate to see how much you bawl about real life serious things. Just pathetic and infantile. Your parents must be just proud to have you living in their basement.

      It is a well known, commonly used strategy.
      If it is a public league, expect it.
      Otherwise commission a league and establish rules to prevent it.

      It's a legitimate tactic that's within the rules. Streaming that many starters at the end can always blow up your ERA and WHIP, so its still a calculated risk.
