Just got done playing my first game and won 3-2 as the Angels skipper in a play-by-play mode game. It felt good, like real baseball with nothing really funky happening. Pretty intense game with a combined 30+ men left on base. My catcher Napoli got beaned and ended up out for 5 weeks with a finger injury.

The only issue was during the 9th inning. I was winning 3-2 and had 2 outs against Oakland with nobody on base. Then Garciaparra hits a double but no pinch runner came in to replace him. Garcia's speed and baserunning ratings are 7/7. Meanwhile, Rajai Davis was on the bench with ratings of 19/17. I intentionally walked Holliday then all of a sudden Davis appeared on 2nd during Cust's play result. He should've been immediately put on base, not sure why the AI waited. Unless it's because the switch is not announced until the next play starts and the IW nullified it. However, when a relief pitcher is put in the game they show up on screen right away. That's my only beef and a minor one so it's all good.
