Offense Can’t Score When Your Start
-
Is it just me or a string of bad luck but when I get I get the start my team can’t score. My last few games starts have been into the 8th with 11+ K’s a few hits no walks. They have all resulted in no decisions or losses. Manager yanks me boom team scores a million runs.
Hall of Fame setting if that matters.

Is your pitcher named Jacob Degrom?

It hurts because it’s true, poor Jacob. After posting this my team scored 13 last game. @JacobDegrom get in here and [censored] about your team.

It's been like that for years in rtts, for me anyway. 8f my team doesn't score in the first 2 innings, I have throw, at minimum, a 7 inning shutout before they get a run

If you are the ace in your rotation then expect to face your opponents ace and not get much run support

This has happened to me from my first start in AA and still continues on into the 2nd season in the majors. It is 95%+ of the time.
Yes, there comes a point where it's because you are the ace and your team is facing the other teams' ace but that can't be the case early on when you aren't really an ace yet.
And it's not like every #1 pitcher on every other team at every level should be unhittable every start he makes. It just seems to be built in to the game.
I'm 1/2 way through my 2nd season in the majors, our team has the best record in the majors and scores a lot of runs so it doesn't make sense that virtually every time I am the SP we can't score.And I have played around with this and it happens whether you play on rookie, veteran or all-star difficulty level. Maybe slightly less each level.

Yes lol. As my team's #5 starter as a rookie, I often found my team getting only 1 or 2 hits consistently vs pitchers with 6.50+ ERA's. It was probably around 50% of the time, not 100%. I would not have thought twice about it if the opposing pitcher's stats hadn't been so terrible or if it only happened a few times. My assumption is that there is some hidden game logic so RTTS players don't dominate as hard. I also noticed in about 5 of my starts in a season that the other team would lay down a perfect bunt for a base hit with the first batter of the game. Those games I ended up with a 1 hitter. I think I threw 9 one hitters in my first full season.

It’s a weird issue, for sure. You also have to keep in mind that you are probably your team’s best batter. So taking that bat out of the middle of the lineup means a bench player took your spot. It shouldn’t result in the 1-run losses we keep seeing. But at least there is some truth to the idea that removing the best bat would bring down the offense.
