Fax Machine was nullified by Black Hole (Black Hole) on Season β24, Day 57.
History
Fax Machine was first offered as in Season β17 with the description: "The Fax Machine will offer you Shadow Relief, promoting your Best Pitcher from the Shadows in your time of need."
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.
