Well, anyway my opinion is known. The old tanking rules were fine...don't know why we just don't go back to that. We don't need guidelines. Let people fuck themselves over if they really want to.

Roster/Tanking related stuff: All pitchers on major league roster must have a minimum of 5 in Runs All batters on major league roster must be a 5 in Hits OR a 4 with an 8 or better HR/BB hate this. AR is an awful way of looking at pitchers |

I agree with Steve, maybe he coulda been far more delicate about it, but when you get to saying all guys must have a 5 in runs, or a 5 in hits or 4 with 8 homers etc, its getting massively restrictive. Just control by record, the old tanking rules worked in that regard, and it is much simpler, if somebody is blatantly tanking, let GM's call them on it (like Texas this year), and choose the path from there, but first, lets just put the punishments in place in the rules.

probably a higher chance of a 3 AR guy being worse than a 6 AR guy, but who knows

Pitchers with a 5 in runs are all made differently, there are damned sure some guys with a four better than that 1/2/3 in walks 5 ER pitcher that will suddenly become the standard starter

it's whatever guys, I don't suggest or do anything for the detriment of the league, I try to make it better
I'm trying to clarify things because I'm tired of getting pushback when I enforce rules, it's the most exhausting thing ever

I played guys with less than a 5 in hits off the bench this year, guess I deserve a penalty

Pretty sure I wasn't around when they did Pretty sure I never said this was in place of tanking rules Pretty sure I said there would be a rule regarding wins as well it's whatever, so tiring |
