OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Why can't I control my catchers in double headers?

So I've noticed that when I'm playing a double header (I sim the games), the AI automatically uses the 2nd catcher in the 2nd game of a double header. Why do I not have a choice about this?

I know it is "realistic" that in MLB games these days this is what managers do, but why should I have to if I don't want to?

Is there a workaround for this that anyone knows of? I tried checking the "force start" box on the player strategy screen but that did not help. My next move will be to demote all other catchers to the minor leagues for a day leaving me with only 1, just to see if that works.
