2063 - SP Ranking (Game Score Metric)

[BaseClogger]

Starters are less important than they’ve ever been and also very important.

[Lane]

Starters dont matter.

At first i read this as "Surfers" don't matter, and i thought to myself, yeah, that's fair point.

[Trebro]

Starters dont matter.

Pretty sure this was posted in jest but I'll observe that Charm City had the best rotation in the JL and Nashville the 2nd best rotation in the FL.

It was both in jest but also what I discovered by using it in this league and others. I used my "starters" for less than 5 innings and leaned heavily on my bullpen this last season. It worked to a certain extent but couldn't hold up against teams with better quality pitching.

I think as a league we are in a position where you either have Really Good Starters or you come up with a different plan.

Yes. I cant do it every season though because there is too much good pitching. Im gonna have to find some real starters to continue to compete.
