[IBL] Opinions on the alternate pitching fatigue rules?

[Doug Palmer]

All,

I'm curious if anyone has played a series with the alternate fatigue
rules?  Chris (MAD) and myself played our series with the new numbers and
my first opinion of it was that it was both fun and challenging at the same
time.

I liked that I could anticipate when the fatigue would occur (the 27th
batter for most all of my starters).  It did seem to put an emphasis on the
middle relievers/set up men, but that mimics the major leagues (which I'd
assume is the intent).  But more importantly, it took the early
blowout/chew up my bullpen factor out of play.  Starters went about 7
innings, a couple relievers ate up the rest.

Bottom line, it FELT like I had more control over my staff (albeit, a
3-game series is a small sample size).  Now, whether or not it survives
these initial impressions over the long haul, we'll see.  But I'm mostly
curious if anyone else has played a series this way and what they
felt/saw/experienced.  If you haven't yet, I'd recommend that you try it,
if only for 1 series, to get a feel and develop an opinion.

And as a side note, you should all feel better in knowing that the Crabs
are no longer above .500 and that the world is working its way back towards
a "normalcy".  So, all you looking for further signs of the apocalypse can
rest assured that for now at least, the world isn't ending.
