Same game as the Ghost Fielder error.

While managing, I tend to keep a close watch on my starting pitchers' pitch counts. This is at least the 4th time I've seen this happen, so I know it's not an isolated incident. I ass-u-me that it affects both teams the same way, but I never watch the other teams' pitch counts as closely as I watch mine.

Knowing that my bullpen is horrid, I gasped in the bottom of the 6th when Matt Keough had a 13-pitch at-bat against Joe Rudi. This inflated pitch count led me to remove Keough after 7 scoreless innings.[:-]

Since this is not the first time I've seen this thing, there must be some sort of logic error in the program. It's a small thing, but one that I feel needs to be looked at.

Maybe this will draw Shaun out of hibernation.[;)]

Now that I look closer at the game situation, maybe the 38-degree temp. for southern California in late April caused all of this mess.[;)][;)]

Maybe it is counting foul balls but the actual game play does not call them out?  It would be rather boring to watch 'and he fouled it off' 10 times.    Does the total pitch count match what the box score says?

Agree, it absolutely is foul balls that are being counted. When is the last time you've seen 8 of them, though? Since I've seen it at least 4 times in roughly 500 games managed, I say that's way too many, too often.
