More teams in MLB is taking a look at the new possible fad of starting a RP for the first inning. And even so it back fired on Hector who gave up 7 ER in 2-thirds of an inning in most cases it has been a success. And you can bet your last penny that more teams are going to follow suit starting in 2020. I believe in all leagues here at PROfsl will drop the start pitching ruling and go with just innings pitched with a cap. At fantrax, their software can be set at a # and when a team finishes a day play hitting or surpassing that # all pitching fp in following days if required to finish game period do not count. The problem is that fantrax does not stop on the max #, so teams will surpass the max #.

So, I think in fairness of the commissioner having to decide to cut fp over max # set by league, that the league agree to set max # of innings pitched per-game period at 65 and have that #65 max set at fantrax....and in any day that a team max 65 or more innings when fantrax will lock pitching fp, let the over innings pitched count on that day. The scoring is done at fantrax, let fantrax in complete control and if a team ends a day at 70 innings pitched for game period, let it stand. SP on average today is 6 strong innings maybe 7, and we do see less complete games by SP.

I will recommend this new ruling for WCB2 league in the off season. As moderator I do not want responsibility of having to cut back overage innings pitched at end of game period. I will let fantrax in complete control of scoring.
