What he said, I've seen this before, "Starting" pitcher doesn't even throw a single pitch and gets pulled.
This happened to me the other day. It was annoying because my team had a couple R1s available but HAL chose an R2 to start. How does this make sense? Assuming 365 plays out like the PC and C&D games, I believe when a pure reliever makes a start they are considered an S1 no matter what their relief rating is. So you would want an R1 to start and hope for some length from your long relievers out of the pen. Turns out I didn't even get 1 inning out of the R2 because he was removed from the game without throwing a single pitch, which I'm pretty sure is against MLB rules.
