I turned the game off and didn't watch another at bat the rest of the playoffs. Don't get me wrong, I love baseball but I hate the major leagues.

Even in the game now I push my pitchers as far as they can go. I changed my rotation to a 4 man rotation and fixed my manager and player strats so that my pitchers will go the distance. My first year trying this and my top 3 pitchers where getting 9+ complete games and avg 120 pitches a game.
Now this isn't all the players fault. The owners are just as bad with this. It is so hard to win a championship, I think if I was an owner I would want that championship as soon as I can get. They needto ride these pitches as far as they can. Look at the yanks and the brewers.(last year) they put there teams on C.Cs back so they could win now.
Basically, bring hack the complete games.
