Lineup dilemma (1 Viewer)

[Dusty Rhodes]

Heading into today, I have the lead in my match 6-4, and am ahead in WHIP and ERA, but I'm down in K's by 6, W's by 3, and ahead in Saves.

I have 3 Probable Starters, he has none. I am thinking of sitting all 3 which betters my opportunity for the weekly win. Sure I would have the chance to tie for W's and would most likely beat him in K's, but I'd risk losing ERA and WHIP. It is possible I could lose those as well with my relievers, but I'll take that chance.

What would you do and is it ethical to sit all 3?

If it's within the rules, what's the problem?

I agree. I just dont understand why you'd want to basically concede a 6-4 week when you seem to have a good shot a 7-3 and an outside shot at 7-2-1.

What's the difference, a win's a win, right?

I see it as sort of like taking the safety late in the football game...so what if you don't win by as much. A win is a win. Why risk the possible loss if you don't have to?

There is nothing unethical about this but isn't a 7-3 win better than a 6-4 win in your league? In most head-to-head leagues you get a win or a loss for each category. Thus, winning 7-3 is better than winning 6-4. On another note, why are you even playing your relievers? If you're gonna bench your starters, why not also bench your relievers?

Well, in my league, you essentially have 10 matchups a week and they all count towards your overall record. So 6-4 isnt the same as 7-3.
