There were 20 pitchers who threw over 190 innings last year in MLB, 15 of them threw 200+ innings. In my league, the leader was 190.

I'm going to start over and force the league to stick with 1980s league settings. I get that starters are pitching less in the majors today, but the way the game is handling it seems problematic. Not enough high-end stamina pitchers and that's filtering down to the rest of the pitchers in the league, regardless of whether they are effective or not. And then that's causing relievers to have to pitch way more games and innings, resulting in tired pitchers relieving effective starters after 4-5 innings and getting shelled.
