I had one pitcher go, over a three year period, 104-3. One year he was 36-0. Four man rotation.

I enjoy the game, I like the very fast sim, but my mistake is looking at the resultant stats.

Ott had over 500 homers before his 28th birthday.

Apparently the game has bothered you to the point where you have developed a nervous mouse finger.

But yes, stuff like this would "bug" the crap out of me for sure. Terrible.
