Player Ejection Bug

[Boisespiro]

The CPU team had Wendall Magee ejected for arguing a called third strike. The computer manager than inserted Robert Fick for that Magee, even though Magee was out. Then, at the end of the inning, a different player was put into that spot to play CF.

Basically... this is a waste of a player, and a bug. Hope this helps.

Well...I have seen up to 3 or 4 pinch hitters or substitutions...some guys left in only one inning or so...Magee might have been taken out due to his BA against your pitcher...I don't know....but the CPU might be reacting to your lineup...

No, boisespiro's point is a guy got announced *while the team was still batting*, but then didn't take the field afterwards. In other words, the computer put a guy into the lineup before it by rule had to.

I posted elsewhere on this forum yesterday about a similar problem with injured players on defense.
