Oh, yea... guess if I want a solution I'll have to speed up time a bit. I will copy my league and sim out the rest of the year to get things going.
In any case, I do have a bit more data from my regular season. Strange data, too. Lovett has three more starts. Two of them totaling 9.2 innings, zero Ks. But he had one start in the middle where he went 6.0 innings and struck out 10. So, going back to spring training he has a string of 11 starts - 10 totaling 49 innings with no strikeouts at all. Then one start of six innings with 10.
Again, I realize this is still small samples in need of more data. But in all of baseball history has there been a starter who had 11 starts, ten with zero Ks and one with 10? In real life Steve Trachsel is striking out about three batters per nine this year - wouldn't it be a little stunning if he came out tonight and K'd 12 or 15 Padres?
