Fax Machine
- For the Ballpark Modification which will swap the worst batter on the lineup for the team's best batter in the shadows following a shutout, see Voicemail.
Fax Machine is a stadium modification that states it will swap the home team's pitcher for the best pitcher from the team's Shadows whenever they've allowed 10+ runs in a game. The modification was first offered as a renovation in Season 17, the description of which read "The Fax Machine will offer you Shadow Relief, promoting your Best Pitcher from the Shadows in your time of need." It was Ratified into Non-Physical Law in Season 23 when the Steaks placed a Fax Machine in The Steakhouse.
The first recorded Fax Machine activation occurred on Season 17, Day 74, when LA Unlimited Tacos pitcher Yummy Elliott was replaced by McBaseball Clembons. Clembons was notably not the best pitcher in the Tacos' Shadows, but was the best pitcher in the Tacos' Bullpen. However, Michelle Sportsman, their actual best pitcher was on the Bench, ultimately leading to the destruction of the Bench/Bullpen distinction.
Fax Machine was nullified by Black Hole (Black Hole) on Season 24, Day 57.
