I didn't win this game, but I could only laugh when I saw this unfold. Wilton Lopez blows the save in the 7th, then pitches 8 (yes, 8!) scoreless innings, as his offense fails time and time again to pick him up. He then gets a 3 run double in the 16th, and promptly allows 3 baserunners and a walkoff ultimate grand slam (not sure that's ever been done in extra innings in real life). So he allows 6 runs in 9 innings, his numbers look terrible, he gets a blown save and a loss, and yet he threw 8 consecutive scoreless innings. I bet that hasn't happened to a reliever since the 30s or something. This one'll be on SportsCenter tomorrow...

The most shocking stat is Lopez threw 5 scoreless innings with a F0 rating

Yes, Strat needs to tweak the fatigue rule. Even in the Windows game I have seen pitchers throw an insane amount of pitches, as long as they don't give up a baserunner they don't get tired. There should be a maximum pitch count where a pitcher will get tired regardless and his card turns into Jonathan Sanchez 2012-13.

The thing is, the other team was 6-15 off of Lopez's card, and just 2-19 off their hitter's cards until the bottom of the last inning. It takes quite a bit of bizarre dice rolling to put this flaw in the spotlight
