MAJOR BUG- during in-game play

JML · 03-03-2003, 01:40 AM

I just finished the fourth game of my fictional league season. It was an 18 inning marathon.

I was ejected in the tenth inning or so, so the AI took over at that point.

Before I was booted, I pulled a double-switch, bringing in Egea, my backup catcher. He ended up in the ninth spot of the order.

Later in the game, the AI pinch-hit for my pitcher, and it brought in Egea, even though he was already in the order. I didn't notice what the pbp said at this point.

A couple innings later, my closer was in (Jeramy Holmes), and the AI pinch-hit for him. The pbp said "There is a pinch-hitter: Jeramy Holmes." Strange, right? Even more strange was the fact that EGEA CAME IN AGAIN.

Still later, the pbp announces that a different pitcher is pinch-hitting for himself. Egea is again inserted as a PH.

All this time, Egea is still in the ninth spot, getting his at-bats.

Obviously very frustrating, and I'm especially concerned that this might be happening during simmed games as well, though I'd think someone would have caught it by now. Then again, when I checked the game log, there was no mention of a PH. The pitcher's were listed as having batted, but Egea actually accrued the AB's.

One other bug I noticed in this game: A batter was ejected with less than two outs for arguing a called strike. I inserted a pinch-runner, but the ejected player was still at first base (although the lineup screen showed that the pinch-runner was indeed in the game). After the inning ended, I assigned the pinch-runner to the field as expected.

Edit- Pardon me. The pinch-runner issue was not from arguing a called strike, but from charging the mound after being hit. That's why he ended up on first.

One thing I forgot to mention. I thought this issue might be related to the new PH depth chart. Egea is my #4 PH against both RHP and LHP. I don't recall if the 1-2-3 PH were already used. Most likely not in the first instance of Egea pinch-hitting, but later on that might have been the case.

bump.

Was this taken care of in the patch? Wasn't sure if it was accidentally left out of the fixes list, or if it's still being looked at.
