It's the 5th game of an away series for my team. The Robot assigns Foppert to start. Why would it do that if the following conditions apply:
1. I have 5 starters assigned in the SET DEFAULT MANAGER: Foppert is assigned as long reliever. Scott Shields is the only assigned starter that is not tired has not played in 5 games, has his full 22 BA's and his status is READY.
2. I have 2 short relievers, 1 middle reliever, 2 long relievers (Foppert is one of the 2) and 1 closer assigned in the SET DEFAULT MANAGER.
3. All pitchers in the Default Manager have an assignment.
4. Shields was brought up from the farm for this series but like I said I had assigned him as a STARTER and that is how he is listed in the DEFAULT MANAGER SETTINGS.
So what am I missing that would cause the Robot to pick Foppert(assigned as a long reliever) over Shields (assigned as a starter)?
If you look at the CURRENT STATUS BOARD Foppert is listed as a STARTER and Shields is listed as a MIDDLE RELIEVER. This is the only thing I can see that would cause the ROBOT to choose Foppert over Shields to start game 5. But then I don't think that is suppose to happen, is it?
