HotN:
The Rum Runners took a 12-8 lead into the bottom of the 9th vs the Nomads. This is a transcript of the game from that point on

Alvarez to 1st (error by Valbuena)
    - which makes it now a save situation so Chapman enters
Blanco struck out
    - makes sense considering Blanco is hitting .091/.125/.182 vs LHP
Dickerson was HBP
Flowers walked
Dietrich walked
    - ball 4 was a WP so 2 runs score as all runners advance an extra base
Chapman clearly didn't have it today so he's pulled in favor of Barrett
Goldschmidt hits a sac fly
    - score is now 12-11 by the way with a runner on 3rd, 2 outs
Jackie Bradley Jr was intentionally walked
which brings up Mike Stanton
    - walking JBJ to get to Stanton? I suppose in DM, but unlikely in real life
But then it really gets interesting as the computer GM pinch hits for Stanton?
And the guy they bring in is Eugenio Suarez???
    - Suarez = .067/.176/.067 vs RHP
    - let me repeat, this is who pinch hits for Stanton? WTF???
Suarez flies out to RF to end the game

Say what? A four-game streak by the Rum Runners, the team is rallying around the adjusted rotation and providing some run support.

It appears that Trumbo is a one man wrecking crew, he leads the League in RBI's at 40 and two behind Bryant for the HR lead.
