Here's one of the dumbest substitutions I've ever seen. Close game in the 4th, and Fred Stanley goes down (who was subbing in for my normal 2b Duane Kuiper). So he decides to put my 1 CF, Duane Murphy (not carded at 2b) in at 2nd, then put DH-Only OTTO VELEZ in to play Center Field as a 5(+5)e25! what??? Oh, I also had 2 guys who _could_ play CF (both 2s) just sit there on the bench...
BOTTOM OF INNING 4
0 O.Smith 1-9 Ground Out (SS) b-0 F9
1 T.Kennedy 2-7 Strike Out b-0 F9
2 F.Stanley 3-2 HBP b-1 F9
SUBSTITUTION at PR: Otto Velez
INJURY: F. Stanley for 1 more games
2 1 W.Backman 5-9 Fly Out (RF) b-0 F9
TOP OF INNING 5
SUBSTITUTION at 2B: Dwayne Murphy
SUBSTITUTION at CF: Otto Velez
Now my normal 2b was already injured, so maybe a difficult substitution scenario for HAL. But anyone sane would have left my 1 in CF, and put Velez (or anyone else) in at 2nd, or if HAL insisted on Murphy at 2nd he could have put an actual outfielder in at CF.
I wonder who's glove Otto used?
