Pitcher blowouts
How come the starting pitcher only lasting 0.1 or 1.2 innings happens so frequently?
I'm not sure how to search for a real life statistic to compare to, but it seems like starters getting shelled and leaving the game super early is happening way too often. Is this a sign that I should be lengthening my "pitcher hook" strategy? |

At the risk of sounding like a jerk I think when your pitchers only pitch an inning it means they’re pretty bad! If they can’t make it out of the first inning a change in your hook strategy is not going to have an effect.
It might be a combination of one or more of: having poor pitching, facing really good hitting, and bad luck. It will get better, I guarantee it. |

Last year, the Chris Singleton card was rated somewhere in the 70s, and I swear he consistently had better seasons for me at Gold and Diamond level than he did in lower levels. He averaged probably between 3-4 WAR per week for me, despite the fact that he was only an all star I think one time. Definitely my favorite White Sox card from PT20. |

Maybe Saberhagen and Kyle Hendricks don't like pitching to Mickey....

This season, just past the all-star break there have already been 11 blowouts:
1. Guzman 0.1 IP 5ER 2. Burke 1.1 IP 5R 4ER 3.Hendricks 2.0 IP 6R 3ER 4. Saberhagen 2.1 IP 7 ER 5. Berrios 1.0 IP 7 ER 6. Burke 2.2 IP 5 ER 7. Gausman 3.0 6ER 8. Saberhagen 2.1 6ER 9. Saberhagen 1.2 6ER 10. Gausman 2.2 6ER 11. Corbin 1.2 7 ER 12. Gausman 1.1 IP 6ER Now, I realize, some of these are on account of errors, and some are against first or second place whale teams, but some are not. Some of these guys are not on my active roster anymore, but it kind of seems like this is just a thing that happens on a somewhat regular basis.
