I just had HAL set different lineups for my team tonight against left handed pitching and right handed pitching and I had no injured players listed in either lineup. Pena was injured but not in the lineup. What gives? I did win all three games, but what's the purpose of setting a lineup if it is overridden by HAL.

My lineup versus lefties: HAL's Lineup:

1 Smith, Lonnie (R) LF Harrah 3B
2 Davis, Alvin (L) DH Singleton RF
3 Singleton, Ken (S) RF McGwire 1B
4 McGwire, Mark (R) 1B Martinez LF
5 Martinez, Carmelo (R) 3B Smith DH
6 Fitzgerald, Mike R. (R) C Burleson SS
7 Pettis, Gary (S) CF Pettis CF
8 Flynn, Doug (R) 2B Flynn 2B
9 Burleson, Rick (R) SS Fitzgerald C

My lineup verus righties: HAL's Lineup:

1 Harrah, Toby (R) 3B Harrah 3B
2 Davis, Alvin (L) DH Singleton RF
3 Singleton, Ken (S) RF McGwire 1B
4 McGwire, Mark (R) 1B Davis DH
5 Smith, Lonnie (R) LF Smith LF
6 Pettis, Gary (S) CF Fitzgerald C
7 Fitzgerald, Mike R. (R) C Burleson SS
8 Ray, Johnny (S) 2B Pettis CF
9 Burleson, Rick (R) SS Flynn 2B

My 70s team lineup was ignored tonight. Healthy guys were left on the bench in direct opposition to my set lineup instructions. I sent an email to support.

Lineups were all messed up in 70's, 80's and 90's. I had injured players everywhere but even the top of the lineup guys who weren't injured were moved around. Went 2-7 in three leagues.

As you can now see it was all fixed and rerun. Problem solved. SOM realized their error and fixed it before I even woke up to view the games. Kudos to SOM for their quick repsonse.

I like the results from the wrong lineup card better than from mine, 3-0 to 1-2. My other two teams went 6-0, not sure what they were before the replay of the games. Very happy to see that SOM caught the mistake last night and replayed the games. It really was the only fair way to conduct business.

Hal Giveth, Hal Taketh Away. We all deal with the same stuff. Hal makes a lot of moves I hadn't thought of. It also does some really odd stuff. Maybe part of winning the game is figuring out how to work within that system, and maybe it is more fun if no one really has any idea of what HAl might do.
