Mike Scott's rocket start to his season

[pappyzan]

Added Mike Scott as a starter in D310 after the all-star break and he's off to a crazy good start, including a 159 pitch 17k no-hitter

Probably jinxed the rest of his season for sure now

I added him as well with similiar results minus the no no.

Scott and brown were 2 I covered from beta. They perform at all levels

whoa 159 pitches? Do you not have a count on him?

No count, the hook is set to pretty quick though. PT kept him in there because of the possible no-no. Just 2 weeks later, Smoltz had a no-no broke up with 2 outs in the 9th. He is also setup with a quick hook but pitched 132 pitches, and was pulled immediately after giving up the hit.

I like that the game gives these guys a shot as long as the no-no or perfect game is still a possibility.

I don't play with any pitch counts on my starters. The Pull Starter slider should take care of guys getting shelled and there are no injuries, so unless you are trying a 4-man rotation, taking them to 0% every start is no issue.

And right now, on my Perfect League team, I wish my starters would go longer. My bullpen blows so many games.

Dude went on to win 4 of the last 5 to finish the season at 11-1 with 12 starts. Smoking hot!
