Suspended Game Strangeness

smiller · 04-30-2015, 10:41 AM

I just had a game suspended in the ninth, with my starting pitcher still on the mound. Since this was the final game of the series between the teams, the game was scheduled to resume four months later when they next met. The next day, the same pitcher was listed as the starter against a different team. He pitched one inning and was relieved. I could have replaced him before the game began, but I wanted to see how the game would handle it. Anyone else have this happen?

Whenever I have teams scheduled for a lot of doubleheaders and they are running low on starting pitchers this might happen.

Just had this happen in an online league. Will add to the bug thread.

Basically looks like when the game was suspended the place marker in the rotation that determines the next pitcher wasn't advanced so the game though the starter from the suspended game was still the next SP.

I think having rotation @ Start highest rested would keep it from happening. Maybe?
