Three 7-inning starts and you're basically there. I've been laughed at for continuing to throw guys in that exact scenario. Owners were basically telling me that if you get 21 innings at approximately a 2.00 ERA, you shut it down. Obviously, if you have more heat that you're comfortable throwing out there (like I was doing), you're losing the offensive cats, or if the other team blows up early, you can keep going. I was still chastised as if it was management 101 in this league. I don't have a problem with the strategy. I just think 35 IP is the sweet spot (four and a half 7-inning outings instead of three).

Which is exactly what I'm saying.
I don't understand the fuss. It just makes sense.

Again, going back to last years playoffs my team threw 40 more innings than yours in our matchup. I won 4 pitching cats and you won ERA by .1 This is the same week a double started my SP4 and SP5.
You can't look at this in a vacuum. No one ever just throws 3 guys and that's it. If you truly have a good, deep staff you're team is better off for it. More innings aims to leveling the playing field when in reality a team with a few good stud SP and closers. should have the advantage. Just like any legit MLB team with three studs is better than a team with shitty pitching.
