OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - 1927 New York Yankees Starting Pitching Rotation.

I'm a first-time buyer of OOTP and am currently doing a Historical Replay (a particular interest of mine) of the 1927 season and I'm managing the New York Yankees. I'm playing the same schedule as played during that season. This is my third attempt, following one freeze-up and one Safari quit. The good news: I am now doing backups. The bad news: We’ll see.

Date is 26/06/1927, with the Yankees record sitting at 51W-12L.
Game 1 of a doubleheader v. Philadelphia showed that George Pipgras was to be the starting pitcher. That didn't happen; Myles Thomas was.
Game 2 of the same doubleheader shows George Pigras is to be the starter. I'm guessing he won't be.

The problem is illustrated in stats of the five-man rotation which, as of now, has become only four.
Current Game Totals for the five pitchers assigned to be starters:
Hoyt: 15
Pennock: 12
Pipgras: 4
Ruether: 12
Shocker: 13
Under the heading of "Yankees", the sub-heading of "Pitching Staff" and the sub-sub-heading of "Rotation Settings", it says the following:
Rotation Size: 5-Man Rotation
Next Starter: 2-G. Pipgras
Rotation Mode: Strict, on occasion highest rested
Allow SP in Relief: No.

Game log for George Pipgras thus far: 05/30, 05/10 05/03 and 04/19.
Injury History is blank for both him and for the club.

Any attempt to Click/Drag Pipgras over as Game Starter, before the start of a game (as you would with field players), fails after I start the game and I have attempted this at least ten times. His name does drop to be the Starter, but when I click "Play Ball!" on the left side or click on the game to be played in the drop-down menu of "Play" on the right side, it changes the starter to someone else.
For the record, none of these settings have been altered by me.

In another period of three games:
"Your Starter": Waite Hoyt; no, George Pipgras ('member him?)
"Your Starter": Waite Hoyt; no, Myles Thomas
"Your Starter": Waite Hoyt; no, Hern Pennock.
Waite Hoyt:
"Health Status"=OK
“Rest Status"=100%-Rested

Other examples:
“Your Starter”: Waite Hoyt; no, Dutch Reuther
“Your Starter”: Waite Hoyt; no, Urban Shocker
“Your Starter”: Waite Hoyt; no, George Pipgras
“Your Starter”: Waite Hoyt; no, Wilcy Moore
“Your Starter”: Waite Hoyt; YES, Waite Hoyt!

Now, it’s happening with a different pitcher;
“Your Starter”: Herb Pennock; no, Dutch Reuther
“Your Starter”: Herb Pennock; no, George Pigras
"Your Starter": Herb Pennock; no, etc., etc.

Is this anomaly:
A) A problem with the game and this particular season or
B) Am I overlooking something too obvious?
