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).
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.

Oh I remember. Harvey went down with TJ right before his first start that week.
I understand the strategies and the different scenarios in play. And I don't have a problem with the category setup that creates that. Based on your assertion, teams will throw 35 IP almost every time anyway. If that's the case, why not eliminate the possibility of a 3 start week then? If a 3-start week is a myth, what is the 25 limit enforcing? It sounds like it's just leaving open the possibility, albeit unlikely, that someone can take advantage of the low limit in a perfect scenario. Let's just push to 35 and not worry about it.
