I've been telling everybody this fatigue stuff for rps is ********....does more to warp stats and ruin games than everything but the bp hr effects.

Once you get a guy down below F7 or F8, bad things are going to happen. The pitcher fatigue rules are intended to discourage you from going with an all minimum salary bullpen and prevent you from getting 300+ innings out of a reliever. They mostly do a good job, with the exception of Dale Murray and a few others.

Does danielz ever have anything normal and good happen in his games.

Apparently, he is this site's equivalent of Joe Bftsplk.

It does look like Mariano was going up against a hard-core walks lineup, so a certain number of walks was to be expected.

Besides, maybe that's what you get for pitching Mariano in the fourth inning.

Mariano was pitching against me.
This was my walking team.
They are #2 on the list with 1394 Walks.
No one else walked that many in 2 innings.
This game was also a record breaker with my team walking 26 times

I only see one walk coming off the pitcher's card . . . a whole lot of batter's card rolls in there

That's what happens when the pitcher reaches F0 - the dice rolls are adjusted to the hitter cards.
