Here's an oddity that isn't going to come up very often. But it came up tonight:

Fifth inning. Chan Ho Park (2001 Dodgers) is facing Richie Sexson (2001 Brewers) just after giving up a 2-run homer to lose the lead. Sexson is hit by a pitch and heads for first, but suddenly he and Park get into it and start trading haymakers (or the baseball version, anyway). The umpire throws both of them out of the game.

I'm running the Dodgers, so I get kicked back to the lineup screen so I can insert a new pitcher. I put Matt Herges into Park's spot in the lineup and hit Continue Game.

Now, not only is Herges the new pitcher---according to the on-field display, he's also the runner on first, and Sexson is still displayed in the batting order (instead of a PR).

Herges the runner didn't score, but if he had, I think Sexson would have gotten credit for the run, because Sexson never actually left the game. He was displayed as the Brewers' first baseman when the next half-inning started, and he finished the game for the Brewers (which were. of course, under computer control).

Milwaukee won the game 3-2 (no thanks to Sexson, who didn't reach base or advance a runner after he was ejected), but I can't help wondering what might have happened if the Brewers had made the substitutions they should have made.

BTW, the game log makes no mention of the ejections and treats Sexson as if he had not been thrown out of the game.
