I'm playing Atlanta against the computer (Baltimore) in what should have been an epic game--battle between first and second place teams, headed into extra innings. Every time Atlanta scores, Baltimore answers back in the bottom of the inning.
<p>In the fifteenth inning, Baltimore is on their final relief pitcher, Frank Fields (who ends up with 12 strikeouts in his five innings of work!) Congratulations to Frank, but he had some help when, after Donald Sinha pinch-hit for him in the bottom of the 15th, he came back out to pitch again. The computer obviously felt guilty, since at the start of each inning it would say "Donald Sinha is the new <blank>." But not so guilty that Sinha didn't pinch hit again for Fields, in the 18th. His double darned near cost me the game. But we won, so I file this error report with a smile.
<p>Does anyone want to see the box score or log of the game? Or is this bug already well known? I seem to remember it occurring in version 4, but I am using 5.11.
<p>Something I can't show you, but also interesting, is that at the end of the game, the PbP says "Atlanta destroys Baltimore 9-8." Funny, because Baltimore out-hit us, 23-14. I had thought that the "so-and-so destroys such-and-such" was a function of the relative number of hits--I have come to enjoy reading "Atlanta destroys Miami 4-3" when we have out-hit them 13 to 4--but this was the first time it has shown up on a stark reversal of fortune such as this.
