not fair

Posted By DaveF

There are plenty of ways to lose games, but it isn't always obvious. Who is going to decide if there is abuse that rises to the level of punishment?

If I go on vacation and leave my star pitcher on the bench (there because at the time he was 118% usage) was that tanking?

If I ignore my team and my pitchers get overused so they'll perform badly, is that tanking?

If I walk Manny Ramirez with the bags jammed and the score tied, is that tanking or smart baseball? (done that and it worked).

If I start my best lineup against a friend's opponent but a mediocre lineup against my friend, is that tanking?

There is plenty of room for abuse in this game, but I'm not in favor of "mind police" trying to determine motivation.
