Justin Verlander All-Star card.

Do you see the problem?

The first year he started 27 games, 3 SHO, and won 22. ERA 2.61.
The very next year, he's started 9 times and won 2. No complete games, he's never pitched out of the 6th inning. HR at 4x rate, walks at 4x rate. ERA over 8, a third of the way through the season???

This is not a "live card," it has not changed one iota between the two seasons. The ratings are all exactly the same.

I'm mystified, this is way outside the range of year to year variation, it's like his arm fell off and he blew his elbow up at the same time.
Except that can't happen. It's not a Live card. Right?

Also...no injuries in this mode. No "moods." No angry punk hurling helmets around the dugout. No contract negotiations. None of the normal excuses why a pitcher's arm has detonated.

Sorry Justin, thanks for the ERA title last year, looks like you're spending the rest of this year in the bullpen.

:sigh:
