My league is lowering the mound.

So.... I there a way for me to prevent this ? It didn't say how much but the league wants to increase scoring.
Should I just let them lower the mound?
Has anyone else seen this happen? Thanks,

It is a dynamic evolution of the league setting found here (upper left of screenshot)

Under the League Menu > League History > Evolution, it will record the history of these events.

It's not as easy to undo as some of the evolutions. I'd see if you have a back-up from a week ago and then disable the checkmarks in evolution that you don't want considered.

Is that what "more/less pitching" and "more/less offense" is about? I've never seen anything pertaining to that. I've seen roster size changes, both active and secondary, IL length changes, FA and arbitration minimum service changes, expansion and a team nickname change. (I leave the DH unchecked because to heck, to HECK I say, with the DH, but I allow all of the other evolution settings.)

I'm an AL guy and once, right after the NL adopted the DH, I had the AL abandon it - so I now have both leagues with a DH and never let it evolve!

But to your question, yes, that's the more/less offense toggle and more/less pitching. I forget what the specific prompts are for each going up or down. There may even be more than one in-game explainer (like league lowering) prompt that gets pulled. But, yup, those two are the toggles that create this kind of evolution.

Interesting.

I never toggle anything at all in this game. I just go with the flow. I may keep it lower just to see the results. Once 24 comes out I'll have to figure out how to make it normal again. What is the current height of the mound ? 10 inches ? THANKS

The mound, of course, didn't literally change. It's just the in-world explanation for moving certain modifiers to the league totals/ratios to increase offense. Unlike some of the other evolutions, it's harder to know what they were and know what to roll them back to - unless you have a back-up to check the old values.
