And kudos for wanting to turn off “zombie runners”. IMHO one of the worst “innovations” ever by MLB. There are already a slew of articles on how it skews statistics and sabremetrics, influences outcomes. All because some people are in a rush to leave.

Note that you can also change the three-batter minimum for relief pitchers, another stupid “innovation” that needlessly intrudes on a manager’s decisions on his pitching staff, in the name of rushing through the games.

Of course not everybody agrees, and the joy of OOTP is that you can, as the slogan says, “play your way”. Not just game and season rules, but fictional teams, leagues, players, if you want. Or experiment with endless “what if’s”, like giving small market teams more money, and/or imposing a “hard” salary cap to blunt the economic might of the Dodgers and Yankees and Braves.

Enjoy!!
