motnahp -> Odd game sequence (8/17/2007 7:50:36 AM)
|
Running with 1.65b (BETA). Top of the 9th, tie game, with 2 out & nobody on.
#7 hitter Kenny Lofton singles and then steals second. Manager motnahp prepares for an intentional walk of #8 hitter Russell Martin to force the pitcher to bat or be pinch-hit for.
AI manager announces Andre Ethier pinch-hitting for Martin. At that moment, I see the highlighted name change from Ethier back to Lofton! Manager motnahp scratches his head and issues the intentional walk (assuming that the walk was really being issued to Ethier). The play-by-play says that Lofton is intentionally walked and now there are two Loftons on base!
All's well that ends well, as Ethier then struck out, stranding the two Loftons on base. This sequence actually was a benefit to my team, as the LA pitcher, Aaron Sele, stayed in the game and gave up a walk-off homer to the first batter in the bottom of the ninth. I tried to post the game screen, but the file was too large. Here is the Game Log:

I checked the box score and Lofton's Game Log. There is only one Lofton in the box score, but it has added the "two Loftons" together and shows him 1-for-4 with a walk, while it should really be just the 1-for-4. His Game Log on his card shows the same thing.
