Co-Op is Trash
-
Nothing irritates me more than someone who comes to the forums and complains about a squeeze play that cost them the game, a bunt dance that distracted them, etc.
Here is why Co-Op is trash:
1.) There is no energy penalty on pitchers. Bob Gibson every time? Sucks but not the end of the world.
2.) In accordance with the above, if Gibson is not the starter, he will be brought in at a later time, with full energy.
3.) Ohtani or others brought in to fill a 7/8/9 hole spot. I cant count how many times I've seen Eric Hosmer pinch hit for Ohtani, even though Ohtani doesn't pitch.
Lastly, I will say that I do not blame players for playing the opportunities and situations they can given the rules of the game. As crappy as I think it is, despite my willingness to play as such, it is the game I blame. I choose not to play the same way as I dont believe Grayson Rodriguez should be brought in the 3rd inning in relief.
I think its a cheap way to play and a cheap way to win. It is even more saddening to know this is the work of two or three people rather than one player.
Thank you for letting me vent.
