From an 80M theme with average AAA.  Starting pitcher is a slightly-tired 200K scrub, and most of the lineup is 200K/rookie hitters. 

Oh, and Steve Swisher, the guy who hit the walk-off HR to cap the 6-run 9th, hit 2 HR in real life.  And that HR was his 2nd of the game -- in Petco!

Amazing performance by Tim Redding.  Six shutout innings and a 129-pitch CG, outlasting the almost $10 million Messersmith and a bunch of pretty decent relievers.  The SIM gods just closed their eyes to his 3.07 IP/G.  Nice.

yea, he should have been "in game fatiguing" at about 50 pitches, but then carries on

The 2nd game of the 2-game series was nearly as unlikely, with Brewer blowing his 2nd save of the season:

Rookie

Redding throws a CG with ONE walk, started the game at 89 percent and should have only been good for 50 pitches.  WOW!  Something broke down in the SIM engine on that one...
