Pitching Rotation Menu

[fnz21]

Am I an idiot or has moving your pitchers around in your rotation/bullpen in the menus been buggy FOR YEARS?

At the beginning of the season, the CPU has put relievers in my rotation (I don't play ST) so I go into the Pitching Rotation menu to make sure everything seems ok. It has 3 long relievers, which, for me, has always meant LR2 and LR3 have like 11 IP by August. I go to move LR2 to the "EMPTY" spot in Middle relief (the third one, after my two middle relivers) and instead of putting a reliver there, it swaps out MR 2 for LR 2. Once I have 3 MR, I go put LR2 in the MR4 spot, and it puts MR3 into the LR3 spot again.
Sometimes the rotation will have an empty spot and it won't let me put my starters hidden in one of the relief spots into the rotation, but I have to select it three times.

Everything works eventually but it's so completely frustrating. I'm clearly selecting exactly where I want pitchers to go, but it's just no happening. What am I missing here? What are the devs missing here?

When you say it wont let you put one of your starting pitchers into middle relief, I assume youre not talking about one of your top five starting pitchers are you? But maybe a sixth or seventh starting pitcher? It seems to me it wants to put sixth and seventh SPs into Long Relief. Maybe a work around is to edit a SP into RP as long as you dont have him as a top five rotation pitcher. As long as you have another pitcher with high stamina as Long Relief, it should let you keep a starter converted to RP in a middle relief slot.
