Pitcher Substitution Problem

Matt Carlson · 04-09-2002, 04:34 AM

Last night while trying to bring in my warmed up middle reliver in the 7th, I dragged him from the bullpen area to the space around the current pitcher. I realized later that you need to find the three-pixel area above that to sub.

When he disappeared from the bullpen but was not substituted, I went back to the pitcher list to bring him back into the bullpen. HE WAS GONE! Poof, one warm reliever AWOL. I went briefly back to the game and then to the lineup area hoping that he would come back (from the bathroom?), but no luck.

Franticly searching, I found him in the batter list, not as a pitcher, but as a DH!? I corrected the problem by editing his role back to middle relief. He was still on the batter list, but I could now move him back to the bullpen and then to the mound.

Anyone else have this and is there somewhere I am accidently dragging the reliever out the bullpen that causes him to think he is a DH?

Version 4.0b installed - patched to 4.0c on a P4 1.5 Ghz, 512 RAM in the default career league.

Thanks.

Haven't seen it.. but all pitchers can be changed to DH's (just by clicking the position button) that's a new one for me to see... is there a chance that somehow accidentally you hit the button on the player card which scrolled the pitcher to DH. (This occurs even with the editor turned off)

The player screen wasn't open at the time, but I could have accidentally switched to the batters on the left side, then dragged the pitcher over to the left.

Drag and drop is sometimes difficult when there are many actions that can be performed (lineup changes, set pitcher to warm up, bring pitcher from bullpen, etc.) at the same time.

I'll try to duplicate again tonight so I can be sure of the exact sequence that might have caused this.
