Historical league, 1962, Dodgers vs Cardinals. Larry Jackson starts for StL, gives up 6 runs in the first, 3 in the second, and 5 in third, then is lifted for a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the 3rd, trailing 14-0. All runs were earned, he gave up 17 hits, walked one, struck out three, and gave up a grand slam to Duke Snider in the 1st, and three run shot to Snider in the 3rd. (Jackson's replacement, Harvey Branch, proceeded to allow 5 runs in the 4th inning... the final was 21-5.)

Never seen AI leave a pitcher in to get that hammered. At this point I'm just chalking it up to it would be pretty rare, but it could happen.

On another subject, game recaps are a great recent addition to OOTP, and I'm sure they will continue to evolve. In this particular case, the recap didn't seem to treat the LA offensive explosion - not to mention Snider's record 9 RBI - any different that had Dodgers won 5-3, with Duke driving in 3 runs.

"Behind a solid performance from left field Duke Snider, the Dodgers defeated the Cardinals, 21-5." "He drove in 9 runs and scored twice..."
