This past season I used an absurd amount of SPs in the playoffs. I even made FA claims to prevent opponents from using the same strategy. It's well within the rules, but it didn't feel right. I'd be in favor capping pickups or GS during each series. It wouldn't be a low cap to hamstring anyone, just something to ensure a team can't run every available SP out there to secure K, Qs, and W.
What do you guys think?

I personally believe that barring injuries, rosters should be locked for the playoffs. Or at least for each round of playoffs. Since I doubt that would get much traction, I would certainly support your idea.

I see both sides; largely indifferent

While I agree that aggressive streaming feels wrong, a lot of funny things happen in the last month of the season that make me think we'd want to maintain liberal FA pickup rules. For example, pitchers are shut down because of innings, pitchers are injured but never put on DL, callups wind up with starts. Another fact of life (at least in my experience) is that streaming is a desperation strategy that more often blows up for you than helps the way you want. I would not be in favor of creating rules to address streaming pitchers in the playoffs.

I don't have a problem with streaming in the playoffs when you can't get an advantage over teams that aren't in the playoffs. I agree, it usually doesn't work out for the team that does it unless your pitching sucks and you're simply trying to nullify Wins and Ks while conceding ERA and WHIP.
