Innings management...

Does anyone know if you can change the amount of innings per game? I'd love to have 18 inning games in my league with ten man rotations.

In the past 4 years of reading this forum and playing the game, never heard of it being done so I would say "no".

How are pitchers, catchers, even position players supposed to handle that workload regularly? They do it once in a while, either monster extra innings or doubleheader, but in a season .- it would kill them.

I'd probably go with a 35 man roster, maybe even 40.
10 man rotations with an early starter and late starter. Also would create a new specialist pitcher known as a Bufferman who takes on the role of mid-game mitigation between the two starters. Bullpen would probably be taxed a lot too.
