Due to injury, Al McBean was scheduled to start. But instead HAL decides to put Junior Thompson in to "relieve" for McBean to start the bottom of the 1st inning before McBean has even thrown a pitch and Junior goes on to pitch a complete game despite being F0 for the final 5 innings.

WTF???

That's crazy. The HAL brain should have recognized Kirk Reuter had sufficient 4-games rest and started him, even if he was scheduled to pitch the next game with 5 games rest.

That is just weird. Could only happen to you, Rich

Sometimes I think HAL stays up late at night thinking up this crap.

Rich, that is hilarious.
