Tony LaRussa II replay sucks

Help! I'm having problems with Tony LaRussa II instant replay
feature. After I make a good play, when I show the replay something
different happens.

For instance, the other day I'm playing and my centerfielder catches
a deep drive to center. The replay shows a triple off the wall and
2 runs scoring!!

This happens almost every time I do a replay. If I make a diving play
at short and throw a guy out at first, the replay will show the diving
stop and then the SS will just throw the ball back to the pitcher! This
happens all the time and it sucks! One of the main reasons I got TLII was
because TLI has no replay.

Anyway, has anyone else had this problem? Am I the only one? I just
wanna know who else out there has had this and what they have done about
it. I can't be the only one. Hopefully....

You are definitely not the only one experiencing this problem.  The
replay never works for me either.  There is a bug fix which is supposed
to be released sometime early next week which will hopefully fix this and
numerous other problems.  Look for it on your favorite FTP site.  

Have you been able to actually control the diving/jumping ability of your
players, or has it all been computer controlled?  I was under the
impression that there was a bug causing you not to be able to jump/dive
on your own.  

The game also will not reset back to the pitcher/batter mode after a play
is over sometimes.  It just leaves the pitcher standing on the mound,
with the ball in his glove, and nothing happening.  I hope this bug is
fixed as well.

Anybody know SSI's email address?  I would like to see what information I
can find out from them.

I have found that this primarily happens when you try to either pinch hit or 
pinch run a player.  Then it usually only happens if you are trying to 
steal, or send any of your players in motion.  So, always save your game 
before making any pinch hitting or running moves.

I have also gotten the ball stuck in the corners where no fielders can 
retrieve it.  Both of these bugs were in TLRUB 1, so I imagine they must 
have ported the engine for the first game to create the second.
