Starting Pitcher Benched?

[Vezna31]

I'm on the last game of the season, and my supposed starting pitcher has been benched in favor of an emergency Starter. Even though he is listed as my #1 starter, he really isn't my #1. My #2 starter is my staff ace. I wouldn't normally consider this an issue if I was saving my ace for the first game of the playoffs, but I run all facets of the team and I do not have an option to not bench him to pitch this last game. I have never seen this in my playing out years. Is this normal?

The game assumes your #1 starter is your ace and will bench him if you are playing a meaningless game going into the playoffs so as to have him fresh for the postseason. I don't follow the part where you say that you run all facets but don't have an option to not bench him (the emergency guy?). You can just make him (the #1 guy?) the starter if you want. You can select anyone you want to start on a given day if you are running the team.

I had trouble with my router connecting to the website, but I had edited my post which never saved saying that I tried dragging and dropping the pitcher into the starting spot and it worked.
