Post rotation in here, send changes to me. Rosters must be at 25.

Do the rosters have to be exactly at 25, or can I go under that? I have too many liabilities on my pitching staff.

[HollywoodLeo]

They can be under

I can't match NYY's rotation, so I have to hope my shitty 4th/5th starters learn how to bullpen.

Saber?

[Kingdom]

I don't know if it was him that started the trend, but I remember in s3sl, he prominently touted the 4 man regular season rotation and what not, that is almost commonplace in any 6.5 league. He often did things like that with his pitching staff

[Hammer]

Saber?

no no, it was a shitty guy but he did it during the regular season, citing hed rather have 21 guys on his roster, rather than 25, because he didnt have 25 major leaguers. i wanna say it was cjkalt. at least in the postseason it makes some mild sense.

[Kingdom]

oh now that does sound familiar

[Kingdom]

Was it a KoBe move?

Mach...get on with it motherf-

Waiting extra days doesn't give your tired pitchers more rest........

Blast, my plan is foiled...

Hadn't had a chance until today to even look at this more than a cursory glance, so sorry for the delay.

Not Chris, Douche, Beer, Not Chris, Douche, Beer, Not Chris

[Mach]

Oh, and I'm likely out the rest of the weekend, so if I advance, expect more delays.
