Cohen leads league in Ks and wins of course. Kinda sucks though, cause I got guys that would compete to lead in both if he wasn't around, lol.

Didn't even attempt to sign a single player. But now some try-hard, log in everyday team is complaining about my team? Look, relax. You'll promote easily. Which is what your true concern most likely was. Since you've been following my team far more closely than I have... If you had some issue with it, why not send me a message directly ("mail" in the top bar)? Or the admin. Rather than starting a public forum topic about it. (on other forums you'd actually be instantly banned for posting anything even resembling cheating accusations / alleged exploits... of course here it's a-ok apparently. SMH.)

In fact I thought you were shooting yourself in the foot since I think your pitching is top notch. I wanted to point out what I thought was a flaw in the game. Anyway if you aren't active what do you care, lol?

admin Joined: 01/27/2010 Posts: 4985 Administrator	I’m sorry...maybe I should have been more clear. I think what you’re doing is totally within the rules, however over the long term; I would like to adjust the game engine and pitcher fatigue so that this tactic isn’t feasible (since it doesn’t model the reality of real baseball). Perhaps I need to tweak pitcher recover time, perhaps I need to increase the injury risk or maybe Cohen’s ERA is going to eventually skyrocket and it will prove that the tactic doesn’t work particularly well. I am anxious to see how it plays out. BTW, one of the things on the To Do list is to have adjustable rotation sizes. You’d be able to switch between 4 or 5 man rotations depending on how much rest and how deep your pitching was. Steve

So, this could be a feature for the starting pitchers, that they are unable to start another game, after three days (those for 4 starting pitching rotation) or four days (those for 5 starting pitching rotation)
