And again: 16th inning, versus Philadelphia. Their pitcher--their last relief pitcher, Hugo Couch, is up for the second time. I mention this because this duplicates what happened in my first post in this thread: The last relief pitcher is in the game. The first time he is up, he hits. the second time, someone pinch hits for him (2B Hector Carillo). Then, in the bottom of the 16th, Couch is announced again as the new pitcher. After the batter is announced, Carillo is announced as the new 2B, although there is no evidence he really entered the game.
<p>Carillo got a hit as the PH, which could have cost me the game
. But, we got out of it, and won again
. I suppose that one of the reasons is that I, the human, was able to break down and bring in a starting pitcher, but the AI was stuck with tired (and illegal!) Hugo Couch.
<p>If you play out the games, you will have a few long games every season. This bug takes some of the fun out of what should be among the more memorable occasions in a season.
