I started a career with default OOTP 18 rosters, managing the Padres. I'm playing out every game. It's still early but in 12 games my run differential is 77-77, that's 6.41 R/G. League wide R/G is 4.74, BABIP is .305 (last year real life stats were 4.53 and .301 respectively).
Sale just recorded a 19-K game. Meanwhile, in my last game vs. Atlanta, my staff allowed 14 hits and 13 walks, their staff allowed 19 hits and 16 walks in 11 innings. That's 29 walks in a game (final score was 17-10).
The event of a single team allowing 13+ walks in a game has occurred 12 times since 2010, per
fangraphs . A 29 walk game is impossible.
