That's what I thought too, Matt, but it happened to me and it happened to Ezradenney during a stream.
In Ezra's case he couldn't start the sim because the game kept telling him he had no pitching staff even though he had set the positions of 12 non-pitchers to pitcher and populated the pitching staff. So he couldn't get to the point where he could sim it out as you suggested. (NOTE: In that case I was only watching, not driving, but it seemed like he had set things up correctly)
In my case it might've been possible to force a sim with empty line-up spots. I will try that, but I will also eventually run into the pitching staff issue that Ezradenney did.
You can probably still find it on his VOD from the night after Willie Mays passed.
