For the first one, 4/26, it started my long reliever2 (who has no stamina and stinks, but i have in that role so he rarely has to pitch)even though i had no injuries and my staff was rested. For the next game it started a random starting pitcher. Then for the final game on 4/28 it finally started the guy it had the asterisk showing for the 4/26 game. Here i was trying to get them in order for the Cup games and it completely knocked it all over the place. Who knows who it might decide to throw for those big games?! Yikes.

It looks like Morrow started in place of a injured/absent starter (SP3). 11/04 C. Thompson SP2 11/05 R. Morrow LR (was Hoffman listed as the SP3 for this game?) S. Jouda SP4 F. Orozco SP5 I will look into it and see if I can recreate what happened. Steve

I do know, though, that Orozco was scheduled for the first one of the day and had the asterisk next to his name. It's strange enough that anyone else started, especially considering he had no fatigue, but it then overlooked two other starters who had no fatigue also (Hoffman and Atkins). I'm hoping it was just one extra strange anomaly. Question-the asterisk indicates who is supposed to be starting, right?

This time I saw it coming, though, because there was no asterisk on any of my starters. I messed with the rotation options, pitching order, anything I could think of, but nothing made the asterisk appear. I put my best long reliever into the only LR spot and thankfully it chose him. Still it was scary since relievers are needed so much in this part of the schedule. It didn't really do any damage this time; my hitters were the problems for that series.

He was rested and unhurt, and the * still shows beside SP3 for game 4 so I've modified my rotation to hopefully kickstart it for next game, but it looks like it might be the same issue MukilteoMike had. Edit: Everything looks back on track after game 4. Updated Thursday, February 19 2015 @ 5:21:29 pm PST
