My leadoff hitter is injured.
Why does Hal make things even worse by moving my cleanup hitter, Josh Gibson, down to the #7 spot in the order?
No rhyme or reason for this.
My lineup became this

2
3
5
6
9
7
4
replacement
8

Why not just move everyone up 1 spot and bat the replacement last.
No one wants their #4 hitter moved to 7th and their #9 hitter moved up to 5th.

HAL has what we in the business world call Short-Timers Disease and he is messing with you prior to being replaced by HAL II next week.
