Wow, how does this even happen
Won a game 31-9. My team isn't even that good. This is the first extreme blowout I've seen. Has anyone seen anything similar?

wow, don't remember ever seeing a score like that!
What teams were playing? And was it a full sim of a game or were you managing one of the teams? |

As long as such scores remain a very rare event, it should be fine.
In real life, the Texas Rangers beat the Baltimore Orioles 30-3 on Aug. 22, 2007. On Aug. 9, 2013, in the California League, the High Desert Mavericks defeated the Lancaster JetHawks 30-8. On June 28, 2009, in the same league, the Lake Elsinore Storm outscored the High Desert Mavericks 33-18. |

It happens in real life and it happened in one of my fictional leagues, too

Usually, or at least the times I've noticed in OOTP, high scores like that happen due to either, a very large talent mismatch between teams or more likely 5th starter + bullpen tired = backup batters getting innings on the mound

I was playing as DET, just a few years into a save, so only current DET players, draftees, and a few Rule5 guys. I never manage the games, and I'm only the GM here, in this game. I'll try to remember to post a picture of the game recap when I get home. I remember Daz Cameron, who has somehow become a 4.5 star player this time around, had 8 RBI. |

I'm just happy I've only seen the one over ~10 seasons.

Looking at these screenshots it looks like OOTP needs a 30-run-game news story.

It just happened in my Fictional Major League Baseball ... things got crazy in the 6th when the Yankees scored 3 straight runs without putting the ball in play (Wild Pitch, Balk, Balk)

had one in '18. think i made a thread because of it was using fielders quite early in the game. defintieyl 30+, can't recall exact figure. 42? as i find and read the post i see there may have been extenuating circumstances. 16 runs off fielders, even so.
http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...76&postcount=1 check that box for pitching out. crazy stuff happens.. they hit 30+ recently in mlb? otherwise, it will happen eventually. even with a not so great team. but, it makes it a bit more fun when more anamolous, eh?

From 1910 through 2016, comprising 163,085 normal length (51-54 outs) MLB games, the largest differential recorded was +8, and it happened only twice. The New York Giants did it in 1944 as the home team, scoring 26 runs on 18 hits; the Brooklyn Dodgers did it in 1955 as the visiting club, scoring 16 runs on 8 hits; The next largest differential, +7, happened only nine times (11 runs on 4 hits; 16 runs on 9 hits, twice; 19 runs on 12 hits; 20 runs on 13 hits; 21 runs on 14 hits; 22 runs on 15 hits; 23 runs on 16 hits; 26 runs on 19 hits). Here are the differentials for real-life games I mentioned previously: Texas Rangers: 30 runs on 29 hits (+1) High Desert Mavericks: 30 runs on 30 hits (0) Lake Elsinore Storm: 33 runs on 32 hits (+1) I suspect in some games in which a large number of runs get scored, OOTP is inaccurately getting too many of those runs scored by means other than a hit (i.e. by walks and errors).

The other games posted are more reasonable, but still seem on the high side: 31 runs on 26 hits (+5); 32 runs on 26 hits (+6). Out of the 163,085 MLB games of normal length from 1910 through 2016, only 15 games had a differential of +6, and 38 games had a differential of +5.

Here is a more detailed breakdown of the differentials. The sample contained 163,085 normal length (51-54 outs) MLB games from 1910 through 2016. Of that total, just 2.87% of games had a club which ended up having more runs that hits.
+1 differential: 3,012 games +2 differential: 1,122 games +3 differential: 392 games +4 differential: 97 games +5 differential: 38 games +6 differential: 15 games +7 differential: 9 games +8 differential: 2 games Total: 4,676 games |

Göteborg pitching not only issued 14 walks, they also allowed three Grand Slam HR's along with a couple of 3run shots, a pair of solo HR's and a bases-loaded double ... that made 20 runs off of the HR's along with 3 runs on that double ... they needed only 8 of their hits to drive home 23 runs, and they left just 4 of their 35 baserunners ![]() It may not happen often, but I think this could happen in real life, too ![]()
