If the closer is really shown as having thrown zero pitches in the box score, that would be a new one to me.

Indeed, the bolded is exactly what happened!
I'll post the PBP text log real quick, and show you. (I could take a screeny, but don;t feel like opening photoshop to copy it there, save it to the desktop, upload it to photobucket, just to paste it in this thread. AT least, not atm. lol. I'll just type in the PBP.)

At which point, OOTP forces me to immediately bring in another pitcher, even though I am heading to bat, and could score a run to end the game. Which is EXACTLY what happened in the bottom of the 9th.
After Rosa was injured on the same play as the last out of the top of the 9th, I am forced to bring someone in. And so, I decided on my closer (wasn't planning on using him at all for this game. I just wanted to make OOTP happy. And OOTP is notorious for immediately replacing an injured pitcher, no matter what! This has happened to me several times, all in different versions.)
But what has never happened to me, and the reason fro creating this thread in the first place is just this particular situation.
Final inning, all tied up, pitcher is injured, and I am forced to bring in a different pitcher, Sydney Chandler, who does not throw a single pitch, because Rosa was injured on the final out!
However, the game must consider Chandler to be "on the mound," for the purposes of the bottom of the 9th, because I was forced to replace Rosa, and I picked Chandler.
And so, I fly out, walk, single, ground out (runner on first moves to second,) and bring in a pinch hitter, who happened to have hit a walk-off single, bringing the runner on second around. I win 7-6. Chandler, who has not pitched one pitch, gets the win, and Rosa the Blown Save.
