Lou Gehrig/Cal Ripken pitching?
During my home series this past weekend, in two separate games, the opposing starting pitcher was injured and, according to the play-by-play, had to come out of the game. The only thing is that no relief pitcher came in (even there were some available in each case), thus the injured pitcher had to put on his "iron man" game face and continue pitching.
Has this happened to others before? Is this a glitch in the robot's software or can an injured pitcher "suck it up" and continue pitching, assumedly with less effective results? I'm curious because, although this occurred to the other team's pitchers, I am concerned if my pitchers in an away game can get injured but left in the game by the robot.
