acm14850 -> Strange replacement for injured pitcher (8/22/2007 11:38:00 PM)
|
Leeper, the starting pitcher, sustained an injury after throwing 12 pitches. (This is about the 7th time in 50 or so games that the starting pitcher has been injured in the first inning, but that's not the problem I'm posting.) The AI replaced him with Olivares, which would ordinarily not be a bad choice, except that in the game before, Olivares had replaced another injured starting pitcher in the first inning and thrown 113 pitches (see following post in this thread). In this game, Olivares threw four pitches, all balls, and was then replaced by another pitcher. So why did the AI bring him in in the first place??
