"No Pitcher Found" then Crash

[Mantush]

I hit "play game," which brought me to the lineup screen. I noticed that there was no pitcher selected but thought nothing of it because my manager controls substitutions. Upon pressing the start button, the "NO PITCHER FOUND" error box popped up, and OOTP promptly went unresponsive. Is this a known bug?

We'll continue this here since i dont want to flood the Bug thread.
When i have missing spot the game will not start without me choosing a replacement. I am curious that you said a SP was DtD but he was not next selected to pitch? Is you rotation size correct? Do you have 6 vs 5 or 5 vs 4? That is the only other time I have seen when the AI does not go to next SP is when you have a staff size bigger then what you have slotted and you have strict order on.
