Glitch?...Mystery solved

I will preface this by saying I fired off a email to online support...waiting for their response...

here is what happened...I have a set line-ups for both right and left handed pitchers...

Oscar Charleston Bats 3rd
Jimmy Foxx 4th...

No Injuries before game is played

vs a left hander

Hal bats Foxx 8th and Charleston 9th

in a previous series there had been an injury an those two were dropped to 8th and 9th...not the best spots but at least there was an injury...

This look like a glitch...curious if anyone else saw a simillar issue...I await Strats response

I don't think I've ever had HAL ignore my lineup order unless there was an injury.
Did the correct nine players play? Was it just the order that was wrong? Did you change your lineup at 10:01 PM or forget to hit "save your lineup"?
I have changed my lineup and then gone on to a different page without saving.

Then I don't have a good answer. Recently everything has been OK on my teams.
A few years ago, I had a problem where the pitcher settings appeared to go haywire.
I would reset them, but it kept reverting to the haywire settings. After about a week, it stopped happening.

Hal was sick that day. Needing a fill-in the computer put out a call to my old softball coach "no long ball HAL".

Here is the scenario. There was a church league team that was just awesome and dominated. They had a former all-pro linebacker who had retired in his prime because he felt called. Anyway the guy could swat a softball a mile. I pitched to him once and lavished him with praise imploring him to hit put one in orbit. Maybe got in his head a little because I got popups. Thing is he was just another player on that team. It was loaded with top athletes.

Next year I said want to be on that team so I joined that church. When I went out for the softball team I did not recognize anyone. Seems all the great athletes had decided to quit playing at the same time including the coach. The team was taken over by an insurance salesman who had no clue. He always hit leadoff and I hit somewhere different every games. The only 2 great hitters we had were always slotted in the last 2 batting slots. The lineup would be posted each game with the admonition "No long ball tonight". Sorry, but you needed to hear him say it with that strange accent he had or one of my teammates who did a great imitation of him.

So one night Roger blasts 2 huge home runs. I followed him to plate after the second one and the ump says that guy can really hit. I responded "yeah, that is why we strategically have him batting last, so we can avoid as many of those long balls as possible". Umpire died laughing and the game was delayed about 3 minutes while he regained his composure. Meanwhile everyone on bench hollering "what did you say to him?"

That is why Foxx and Charleston hit 8th and 9th. No Long Ball Hal wanted to minimize the chances of HRs being hit. They were after all proof player was not listening to the pep talk and admonition "no long ball tonight".

Happened again...against lefties only...I will await Strat's response...and post when I find out...Valen insightful but not pertinent

Did it show up in the box score Vinnie, or did you have to look at the play-by-play?

Box score

Mystery Solved...somehow I had players listed in my reverse line-up (which I never used) I partially filled it and bam all whacked up...

I like the "Long Ball HAL" theory better.
