Today I’ve pitched 3 ghosted innings…spoooky
-
Seriously, I hope I make this clear enough to follow… I started a game with Donaldson pitching and playing DH. Around the 4th inning I had Shohei warming up in the bullpen getting ready to pitch the next inning, while we’re still batting. Donaldson comes up and hits a double so I bring in Ohtani to pinch run for Donaldson, he scores yadda yadda and the inning ends. Donaldson is still on the mound, but because I subbed for DH, now he gets to hit also in his Pitcher spot and now Othanl is my active LF (he disappeared from the bullpen obviously)and I subbed out Lou Brock who was previously in this spot. The next inning when Donaldson comes to bat, I sub him for Buck O’Neil, he gets a hit yadda yadda. Ok the next inning begins and I choose to leave Buck O’Neil (pos player) in as pitcher, so after I face the minimum 3 batters I go to the substitution screen and swap O’Neil into LF and pull Ohtani into pitch and it works! I pitch three scoreless innings with Ohtani, hit a couple of homers and successfully subbed him in from the bench and was able to use him to hit AND pitch…is that cool or what?
After the game was over, the box score showed some funny things, and the game log. The log never acknowledged who was on the mound for those three innings that I pitched with Shohei and the pitcher line on the box score only shows a total of five innings pitched (by Donaldson, Moreta, and Buck O’Neil lol) leaving off Ohtani completely BUT after I exit the game screen onto the rewards page, there on the parallel upgrades tab it shows 320xp for 3IP,8SO ,3RBI, 2HR ,3R so it’s credited to him but not according to the scorers sheet ain’t that kinda neat? Had everyone already figured this out?
It’s like he was a ghost pitcher…maybe he’s been hanging out with Senga?
ps this was the 99 Donaldson and O’Neil, the 97 Franchise Lou Brock and the 99 Lightning Ohtani

I just thought if something…I bet I didn’t even have to add the Buck O’Neil element to it at all and could’ve just swapped Othani with Donaldson every third batter if I wanted to, huh? Duh

You and me both. The genesis of this was me thinking back to Dave Johnson how he would switch Orosco and Roger McDowell out to face lefty vs righty. I thought why not try that with some of these nifty 2-way players? Oh I didn’t even list the half of what I did lol. I spent the last two innings swapping everyone around and letting different people pitch and hit. I think Buck O’Neil came back to the mound four times total
(McDowell would play LF when a lefty would come to bat, and Orosco would pitch and vice versa Orosco would run out to play LF when the righties came up and McDowell would pitch)

And that’s after Sid Fernandez did his 5 or 6 innings
