I'm certain we're not talking about monumental differential here, guys, and in addition we're talking about an influence cutoff of almost 6'0 tall which most pitchers, in today's modern era are anyway. Markus has already said it doesn't impact historical.

Stamina issues other than this miniscule addition- which he probably just never should have mentioned and no one would have been the wiser or even noticed -have made a bit of headway and changes toward realism. I'd strongly suggest three things: forget it until you see the final product, remembering it's a small, small element of a total revamp; recall the great discussion about adding morale and its 'undue' influence, when really the most problematic influence it's had has been driving players onto the trading block, not anything that's been related to observeable performance influence; finally, while Markus is not infallible, he's always been driven by data that moves the game toward realism in a spirit that doesn't deplete it of its enjoyment, and if enough data and studies now are offering him weight enough to include it, trust him until you compile collectively enough of an argument to present its meaningful shortcomings (pardon the pun) and I'm sure he'll listen. Reacting this early to something you can't measure is a waste of your own energies.
