I searched but didn't see anything that addresses this.
I like Quick Counts so far, but one slightly distressing thing is that it is sort of incompatible with pinch hitting and relief pitchers.
If you want to pinch hit, the current batter already has a count generated (0-2 for example) You sub him out and the pinch hitter inherits that count. I supposed you can just tell yourself that this would have been the count generated with the new hitter but as the counts are supposedly generated with real statistics, this kind of bugs me. I wish there were a way to pinch hit and get a fresh count generated.
Similarly, when you go for a relief pitcher, unless you've set it up for the new pitcher to enter the game at the start of the next half-inning (which I do when appropriate), the new pitcher inherits the count from the old pitcher. So for example, your starter is laboring with 100 pitches and gives up another walk, when you go to the pen the original pitcher throws a few more pitches past the point when you want him out of the game and the new reliever comes in with the old pitcher's count. Again, I wish it would start fresh when you bring in a reliever.
It's also a little weird in terms of stealing if you want to go early but that doesn't bother me as much as the above issues.
Am I missing something? Thoughts? Thanks.
