I have the 6.01 patch and just noticed this bug in the first game I played post-patch install. I do not recall seeing it prior to the patch, but I am not certain. Anyway, here is the situation:

Top of the 9th, I'm down 3-1 with runners on first and second and 1 out. I pinch run for the runner on first. The new runner is now listed in the lineup on the left hand side, but the old runner is still listed on the field. I go back to the substitution page and the new runner is in the lineup, however there is no (1B) next to his name to indicate he is on first base. I go ahead and play it out. The next guy gets a base hit. In the PbP, the old runner is listed as the guy who advanced to second. Next guy strikes out to end the game, so no big deal.

It should be noted that the runner who I wanted to take out was the designated hitter. Perhaps this is only an issue with pinch running for the DH, but I have only seen this once so I do not have many details to provide. I'll try to pinch run for a DH again some time and see if the same thing happens.

Thanks!
