New MLB record LOB!

Been playing OOTP for year and always thought the lob's were abnormally high (I've broken the MLB record countless times) But even this seems ridiculous. I know my offense sucks, but...

Are you looking at the 21 and 47? Those are not team LOB (which is what MLB tracks), but just the cumulative LOB of every batter.

For example, imagine if the pitcher walks batters 1, 2 & 3 to load the bases. Then he strikes out batters 4, 5 and 6 to end the batter. Each one of those 3 batters leaves 3 men on base (9 total in that boxscore line), but the LOB for the team for the inning is still just 3. That number is shown later in the box score.
