Pitcher removal by Robot?
With three teams, I sometimes play 15 games in one week. to speed up play, I often have the robot play the games through the fifth inning and take over from there. In a game in a recent series I selected Kim (listed a s a long reliever, but with 9 starts to his name) to start. He had 15 BFA and was listed as ready. It is my understanding that relievers, when used as starters, are given 30 BFA. It is also my understanding that a SP cannot be removed, barring injury, prior to the fifth inning or having allowed 4 runs. Howeever, at the end of 5, Kim is out of the game! He was pulled after 3 and one-third innings having faced 16 batters. He had allowed only one run and did not incur an injury ( at least as far as I can tell)
Robot glitch? Or am I missing something?
