    Re: Pitchers as DH in franchise?? Why

    This isn’t something that should have to be “worked around”. What about everyone who doesn’t have 30 team control? Even for those who do, it’s a glaring issue. I think someone made the example already, but it’d be like your backup QB starting at RB and getting 15 touches a game. Hopeful that they are working on a fix...

      I feel you, but you just choose him at the starter select screen. I tend to juggle my rotation over the season anyway...

        But in this case, he's getting the carries because you didn't move him accordingly to fix the issue. Or you're a lame duck coach and are just winging it with your offense or a Dave Gettleman type...

          Is this only happening with created or fake players? The reason I ask is maybe in order to make Ohtani work, they had to build a roster spot that worked only for him, but it had to be placed on every team. So I'm wondering if when the roster were made, that spot was used by a created pitcher and when brought up it makes it work like ohtani. Maybe if we identified each player it's happening to and just switch everything about them with another position player it would help? Does this make any sense?

            I can always pull the SP out of the lineup. I can even do the two controller work around to pull the opposing pitcher or of their lineup.

            The real issue is simmed games. Every time I face a new team their pitching order is all messed up and tired because they've been batting. A lot of teams are doing worse than they should because their leadoff or middle of the order is getting occupied by pitchers.

            Doesn't matter if I'm pristine or an incompetent boob when it comes to my settings, this is a major issue either way.

            I found the problem only when I use an historic roster. And it only happens to the CPU team. I have full control of every team and even when I remove the pitcher DHing he goes right back in when the game starts.

              Played a game using a 1997 Historical roster (that is VERY well done) and played an exhibition game the other day - Houston (cpu) at Baltimore (user) - BOTH teams (cpu and user) had a pitcher in the DH slot. When I changed them in the pre-game menus for both teams, the pitchers were both then made available as RIGHT FIELDERS. So it's a problem...

                Yep exactly what I’m seeing. When you sub them out it makes them available on the bench as RF.

                Mine has happened in a brand new franchise with the OSFM rosters, for those that supposedly need that info

                  I was waiting for a price drop to buy the game. I'm in middle of a current 18 franchsie and was waiting to Port over once I hit off-season. This alone will keep me from the game until it is fixed. I've put in too much time and effort in my current franchise for it to be messed up with this glitch.

                    As far as I can tell if you transfer in the offseason you will not encounter the bug.

                    I transferred in offseason with no issues and so have two friends of mine

                        If thats the case, then I may just go back to 18 for a bit and finish my franchise up and carry over. I had wanted to get a fresh start, but this is kind of sucking the joy out of it. Nothing has happened yet but its like waiting for the phone to ring when you know its going to be bad news every time I play a game.

                          Yeah I'm in June and *knocks on wood* I haven't seen it yet. I've played in Seattle and Texas in interleague without issue. I check the box scores of other games and haven't seen it happen in simmed games.

                            Hmm. I have DH for both leagues. So it'll be interesting what happens there. Hopefully by the time I need to Port over SDS has a response

                              I've been doing a franchise with Miami since the rosters came out, so I had never noticed this glitch. Usually around this time I start a secondary franchise with an AL team to keep from burning out on my primary one.

                              I started a franchise last night with Oakland using ridin's set and simmed through 3 seasons first thing (since I'm an NL guy I don't follow or have any real interest in AL teams and getting to shape my roster and start in 2022 makes me feel more invested and attached).

                              My 1st round draft pick in 2019 was a SP with A potential and was currently a 73OVR and my 5th starter in 2022. As for my DH spot in the lineup, I started the year using my backup 1B (71OVR) to DH vs. LHP and my backup CF (76OVR) to DH against righties.

                              I didn't have a start against a lefty until the 8th game of the year and when I started to set my lineup before the game I noticed that my promising young SP is in the DH spot even though all of his batting attributes are <5. When I swapped him out for my 1B he was listed as a RF and the only solution I could find was flipping my SP to the pen and putting my long reliever as the 5th starter then just scrolling down and picking my SP whenever the RP's turn in the rotation came.

                              I'm curious whether or not this is a CAP issue, I looked around my league and found the same thing happening on the Tigers with someone they had drafted as well.

                              And because of my particular circumstance I think it's safe to say that just because your franchise doesn't currently have this issue, I think that 100% of our franchises will eventually have this happen if possibly every draft class has created players that carry the glitch. At some point if you go enough years it will start popping up.

                                Hmm. Unfortunately I specifically had to *not* transfer during the offseason because doing so caused a bug with a lot of my renewable contract guys. I would sign them for whatever amount, but they would end up costing a completely different amount (usually more) against my budget. So I had to go back and carryover before I advanced to the offseason and my renewable contracts were fine. But hope that doesnt mean I get this bug instead.
