I just wanted to post a couple of thoughts since I've managed to find time to play recently:

- I LOVE LOVE LOVE the game screen interface for the bullpen! It actually makes it WORTH playing with the warmup rule, AND ITS SO MUCH FUN! It's great to keep your brain moving when you're managing a DH team, instead of sitting there drooling on yourself for the first 7 innings. And, even though the AI can't really be coded to warm up pitchers, I'll just assume the AI is doing it... (Unless I'm playing against Gabe Kapler's team)

One thing I will say, I remember the AI Micro League Baseball and Earl Weaver Baseball being able to warm up pitchers, but the AI in both games is like a toddler compared to OOTP's AI, so I guess that has something to do with it?

Also, this is something I should post in the suggestion forum, but I'll slide it in here anyway.

- Small animation thing, but I think it would be a nice touch: I wish you guys (meaning the OOTP development team) would animate mound visits and the pitching changes, as well as arguments and ejections. Even if you hit the space bar to skip through it, it would still be fun to know that it's happening.

I dunno, I just think it would be really cool. I mean, I know you guys animate brawls and celebrations, so why not throw in the pitching changes?

BTW, still no crashes! You guys did an awesome job with stability! Bravo!
