I apologize in advance, but this is going to turn into a whining account for a hot minute. If it helps, it is absolutely still the kind of story with mathematical unlikeliness and statistical interest that I like to highlight. But let's take a look at my s5 Exhibitions so far, shall we?

With Lulu called up to the Greater Leagues, a new protagonist pitcher was needed. And lo, the Mulch Machine said "let there be ridiculousness" so in S4, Cal Jansson was born. What has Cal done so far in S5? Oh, just 4 starts, 4 CGSHO, 46K, 10BB, 9HA.

1st 7 games of s5: 356,666 PAs, 9,369 HBP (1 in every 38.07)

"The Fastball Whale keeps getting fatter while also continuing to grow his tail"
"Ejected in the first PA!"
"One Trick Pitcher!"

I tested out giving Kennedy "One Trick Pony" Schmidt some more Control items. This wasn't his only game w/ the new equip, but his most recent .. a CGSHO. The diff? He still pounded down & inside, but less often to the outside and instead ... a bit more dead middle or lower middle. He's just weird.

So this is new, I'm reporting on a weird player of MY OWN.
I noticed my recently recomposed pitcher only threw 1 pitch (slider). But I *also* noticed that a lot of his pitches hit the same zone; inside and low to righties. I mean, A LOT. Almost 40%! How is he getting away with this? :P

Update: With 1 game left to pitch in the 1st half of S4, Lulu Stephenson is still ridiculous:
12 starts, 103.1 IP (avg of 8.2 per game), 39H, 8ER, 186K, 44BB, 10-1 record wi/ 8CG, 6CGSHO ... 0.697 ERA.
Absolutely unparalleled. #2 is almost double her ERA.

Well, for s3, the longest game took until King Prussia scored w/ 2 outs in the bottom of the 17th to win 8-6. But what a 17th inning it was! Let's go back and check out some play by play ...
