Interesting reading on the 3 batter rule, L/L R/R etc. Its where the RNG/algos decide your commands don't compute and ..... unleash the Kraken
So for giggles, I used your proposed strat in league play with a month-on, month-off cadence (that is, I changed sliders back to default every other real-life day in my current season). With your strat, I saw winning percentage go up about 2 percentage points for about 10 games in the new strat, then go down 5 percentage points, then go up 2 points in the default strat (over 15 games), and then go up 2 points when I switched back to your strat. Now that we are in the final quarter of the season, the win percentage has been leveling off, but I do see a net gain in the alternative strategy.

Edit to add: During a period where I was using this Kraken strategy, I had one of my starters throw a no hitter. Not sure how, but apparently he had the fear of God in him being hooked and pitched lights out.
