Yeah, I am seeing some hitter fatigue in the 90M, 110M and 65M leagues due to my teams scoring a lot more than expected. A good problem to have, but still a problem

I’m already dealing with crippling pitcher fatigue in the Coors league and hitter fatigue in the Coors and $130M leagues

Pitcher fatigue will hit it's normal cadence after tonight's am games (game 16), with the beginning of the season buffer fully removed.

I figured my $65m team would be my major fatigue trouble spot (and it is requiring close monitoring), but the pitching staff on my $255m team is my real issue right now. Blue and red everywhere. :(

These extra inning games have got to stop.

Two 4-14 teams are a big drag on standings. I'll have to rely on the Playoff Blitz strategy. Maddux team is 4-14 despite being similar to all the other Maddux teams. Fire the manager!

Looking at the Gold Glove projections for the 90M league is pretty funny. My league includes the following luminaries of defense:

• Gary Sheffield
• Earl Webb
• Carlos Quentin
• A-Rod
• Eric Hinske
• Willie Upshaw
• Goose Goslin
• Ernie Lombardi
• Tony Lazzeri (twice)
• The deadball SS duo of Charlie Babb and Bill Keister

My 100M team is killing me too, rbow. All of my teams are at or above .500 except that one which checks in at a dismal 6-14. I honestly thought I had found a gem in Pete Richert as he brought me what I figured was a can't-miss staff of Sutton/Drysdale/Cuellar/Koufax, plus a bunch of late 60's Orioles hitters which I have had luck with before. Oh well it's early, just gotta keep grinding!! :)

Small sample size, but I'm seeing some very wide gaps in home/road splits for a few hitters in the Coors league.

I think I may have drafted too many innings (1665) in the Coors theme (and maybe too many PA). After any given cycle of games, I typically have 2 SP and 4-5 RP that are at 100%. I did spend $50M on pitching (4th most in the league)

It has cost me having a decent offense. We are in last place in runs scored (169 thru 25 games, league average is 218). We are 3rd in fewest runs allowed (147, league average is 172) and 2nd in fewest unearned runs (26, league avg is 46). We are third lowest in pitchers thrown per game (142.8, league average is 153.6).

All this has resulted in a mediocre 12-13 record - which puts me in a 4-way tie for first place (also last place) in my division.

I think I had the second lowest IP (around 1500) and I'm battling some serious bullpen fatigue. Starters are holding up though, so I'm going to have to adjust my settings to have them chew up more innings. My hitters are almost all in the blue at this point. I'm juggling as best as I can to accommodate for many high scoring games. Looks like my offense is too good :P

1,565 has been pretty perfect for me so far. No fatigue issues but also not overwhelmed with 100% guys.

On the hitter side though, we have run into similar issues to Jtpsops. At least the bright side is the hitter fatigue hurts less

Of the 11 teams that spent the most on pitching in my 90M league, only 1 is over .500 right now. I don't know what that's worth, since spending more doesn't mean more quality and could just be more innings, but it did surprise me.

I have 1605 innings and am carrying 13 pitchers. No issues with fatigue even though my team has pitched the most innings in the league up to this point. Even after a 13 inning game, I still have 6 relievers at 100%. (fingers crossed)

My pitchers in the $130M league are approaching fatigue death spiral despite the fact that I chose a fairly strong pitcher's park in Griffith Stadium. I drafted 1,269 IP and my pitchers have thrown the 2nd fewest IP in the league so far. I really don't get what the problem is.
