Why am I being overruled as manager?

Seventies league. I have Harrah as my SS and Chalk as my 3b vs. LH starters. And yet every game vs. lefty, box score has Harrah at 3b and Chalk at ss. What gives? :?

Is your entire lineup filled in?

Are they being moved in the lineup or position changes only?

Just positions switched. Batting order is correct.

Chalk 3b-2e15 / ss-3e43
Harrah ss-4e29 / 3b-3e18

A ss-3e43/3b-3e18 combo is .001 worse than a ss-4e29/3b-2e15, so even mathematically it doesn't make sense.

Basically, OPS allowed based on fielding ratings:
ss-3e43 + 3b-3e18 = 0.485 + 0.208 = 0.693
ss-4e29 + 3b-2e15 = 0.547 + 0.145 = 0.692

SOM made some changes to the mystery card games years ago to prevent the mystery card managers from leaving their lineups blank. The advantage to leaving the lineups blank was that HAL knew what the card was and would set lineups accordingly. Managers could analyze the lineups made by HAL and get tells on what cards they had.

This could be a by product of the code they threw to address the blank lineup hack.

Have barely played mystery card since they made the change so I'm not up to date on any recent changes that could cause this.

Thanks for the info on this!

I moved Harrah in the lineup (from leadoff to two) and now he was left at ss where I had him. I've never had this happen before.

It sounds like a bug in their programming.
