Please stop doing this.

I understand that the pinch-hitter came into the bottom of the 6th of a 0-0 tie and a run scored, but the bullpen gave up the no-hitter and the shutout. And we scored 4 runs later anyway in a 5-2 win.

A team strategy option to "Don't pull starters with no-hitters" would be nice. I could maybe understand an exhausted pitcher, but this was a knuckleballer with 71 pitches thrown.

I couldn't live the win. I killed OOTP and re-simmed the game just so I wouldn't have to look at that monstrosity of a box score.

EDIT: OMG. The same pitcher (Phil Niekro) just did it AGAIN. 6 innings, 0 hits, 64 pitches in a 0-0 tie and taken out for a pinch-hitter (didn't score a run). We won 1-0 in 12 innings. Pulled with a no-hitter after 6 innings in back-to-back starts. 100% rested going into both starts. Unbelievable. I know no one believes this, I don't care. I'm flabbergasted and deleting the game again.
