I will be contrarian on the playoff expansion. I like 6 teams because it rewards the top two teams for having the best season with a bye for the first round. And expanding to 8 playoff teams means you don’t even need to finish in the top half of the league to make the playoffs which seems a little weird to me. But hey, if you guys vote for it, then we might have an under .500 team taking home the crown, which would be the equivalent of the Carolina Panthers winning the super bowl this year!

I'd say yes to both, but the playoff expansion won't matter for my sorry bunch of fuckass losers unless 100% of the league got in

I am definitely no to both. There needs to be some reward to finishing top 2 in the regular season. If you want to value SP more, minimum IP isn't it. Changing from K/9 to K's would do that in a heartbeat. I went through last year week by week. Not a single team had less than 27 IP in any week. So, it changes nothing. Changing the K/9 to K's would absolutely create the change you want.

Late to the party but I agree with Heisman on both points.
Playoffs should only be 6 and go back to total K's if you want to emphasize starting pitching over bullpen.
We've had it before.

Stay at 6 for playoffs is my vote. I'm also good with changing to K's instead of K/9.

I don’t like changing the K/9 category to just strike outs because then that stat becomes an accumulator stat which encourages constant adding and dropping of pitchers. Whereas the K/9 stat reflects the quality of pitching each team has in a given week. In the current format, there are different strategies that managers currently employ. Some guys go reliever heavy in chasing saves, holds, and K/9, while others go more balanced or starting pitcher heavy in chasing wins, ERA, and WHIP.

none of us would ever bang the shit out of an obvious rule slip like that. It's like you remember the year it switched from K's to k/9.

I was actually going to find it, but realized combing through 301 pages of bullshit to find this one specific rule change wasn’t very enticing. Haha

Not by everyone, and it would be much worse if K/9 is changed to K’s! You can currently chase wins, saves, and holds because they are accumulator stats, but you aren’t guaranteed any of these stats when you are playing a starting pitcher or picking up a reliever to play. The only stat that truly rewards streaming is K’s because streaming starters guarantees increased K’s. However, K/9 rewards quality pitchers over quantity along with ERA and WHIP. For me personally, I see it as a quality vs quantity thing, and consider fantasy baseball the ultimate game of strategy that shouldn’t reward stacking mediocre starters for stat accumulation.
I actually think the relatively small roster sizes and limited number of bench slots also contributes to streaming pitching because there always pitching options on the waiver wire to pick up.
