So I had a starting pitcher get hurt in the playoffs. Thing is I was using him as an opener, so he was my only starting pitcher. When I put him on the DL, I had a 1A/1B & 2A/2B tandem set up in his place. Now it’s projected my starter to be Player Profile: John Holzemer - Hardball Dynasty Baseball | WhatIfSports, a guy I picked up to eat innings at the end of the season. He’s not playoff roster eligible, nor did I put him on the roster lol. He’s not on my pitching staff screen or pitcher settings. Should I assume my 1A will start? I’m also considering going ahead and cutting Holzemer, a move I was going to do anyway. But then who knows what they’ll make the projected starter lol. Has anyone had this happen?

That's messed up for like three different reasons - system didn't recognize the tandems, system pulled in the worst option, system broke playoff roster rules.

Start a ticket with CS for sure. In the meantime maybe try to set up a traditional SP1-3 rotation since the tandem thing didn't work and drop Holz (you can always switch it back to a tandem if it works).

So what I ended up doing was demoting Holz. Then my projected starter changed to similar starter who was not on the playoff roster nor eligible. So I cut him and finally my projected starter was my 1A. I still wonder if Holzemer would've actually started the game had I not demoted him. My only thought is maybe it's like starting lineups. I know sometimes those can glitch and you'll see teams with multiple #2/3/4/5 hitters, etc.

Yeah, weird. Glad it worked out and thanks for posting in case others run across it. Would still recommend sending a ticket to CS so they are at least aware of it.
