This is a community of managers that depends on a small revenue stream to continue development of a very challenging on-line baseball experience.

Because of these limitations on technical resources and the fact that I can't check out situations myself where starters were ignored by the ROBOT---I have to rely on previous checks by TECH---which have unearthed only ONE glitch (the dreaded first appearance of the season on hte road after series one glitch---which to my knowlege is not the problem here and has been fixed).

The plain fact is that BFA DOES work on this system and any number of experienced managers will tell you it does.

In every case we have checked the starter did not have 30 BFA, was injured or overused.

No one is saying the system is perfect, but in this regard, were it not working there is no way I would not get thousands of messages about the error.

The process is so central to the play of games that it could not be broken without tremendous consequences.

I do urge you to keep up to date manager options and default lineups because if even one pitcher has no role the roles will be chosen by the ROBOT and if more than one player is not availalbe in your lineup---the ROBOT will re-do the batting order from scratch.
