James Grove.. PLEASE read!!

In our league, Mogul Challenge 1, our rosters are automatically being changed after a game starts, and we literally cannot win. I don't understand why this is happening but I have a winning team and I'm getting beat by the worst of the pack because of this!! I would appreciate some resolution from someone ASAP, and a restart of the season would be nice considering this is basically a fluke and those of us afflicted never had a CHANCE!

I'll let James know about your problem.

One variation:
ATLANTA ab h bb r hr bi k sb avg
Cairo (SS) 5 4 0 1 0 1 0 0 .271
Villanueva (CF) 5 1 0 2 0 0 0 0 .229
Batista (3B) 5 2 0 2 2 5 1 0 .208
Hidalgo (RF) 5 2 0 2 2 2 3 0 .313
Bonds (LF) 3 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 .300
Johnson (C) 5 3 0 0 0 0 2 0 .225
Stevens (1B) 4 0 1 1 0 0 3 0 .210
Morris (2B) 2 0 2 0 0 0 0 0 .258
It's different almost every time
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------



This one is pretty straightforward. Pujols needs a day off, so Batista goes in for him straight and simple.

This is more complicated. It's possible that Villanueva, Johnson and Hidalgo were injured and the computer replaced them and THEN resorted the lineup (for that day only). The reason it re-sorts the lineup for injuries is to avoid really stupid lineups. For example, if A-Rod is your cleanup hitter and he's injured, do you want a .170-hitting backup shortstop batting 4th? Or do you want the computer to bat that guy at the bottom of your lineup and fill in the cleanup spot with someone else until A-Rod is healthy?

It's hard for me to tell from one lineup if this is the reason though, and when I look through all the box scores I can't tell if the variations are from the CPU manager or from changes you made as GMs.

SO... if you have a specific example of a really screwed up lineup, please post it here. This would basically mean 3 or more players in your lineup that aren't supposed to be there, when you are sure than you didn't have any injured players at the start of the sim. One such player, and a corresponding re-sorted lineup, isn't enough evidence of a bug, because players can get short injuries in the middle of sims that are healed by the time you look at the team again.

Thanks for your help!
