Alas, the R8.4 version of the world's greatest software did not anticipate the league going with the DH. Fortunately it doesn't barf when you enter your stats. But there are gotchas...

 

1) If your pitcher makes a fielding error, you must insert him into your Batting Entry (wherever you want) and give him a "NB". This needs to be done, otherwise an audit challenge will flag it.

 

2) When you go to add players to your Batting Entry, all rows will be empty except that your starting pitcher is put into the 9th batting position. You have to erase him and type in the right player. 

 

3) If you use prefilled batting lineups, you can specify the lineup's name (eg Righty, Ohtani, I_Give_Up) on the Game Summary Entry window and its players get added to the Batting Entry. You can specify all nine of the batters on the Batting Lineup Entry window ... and CSBAstat will add all 9 players (it will not insert that starter).

 

 R8.5 will arrive someday (July at the earliest). Until then, continue with R8.4 and dissing your team's performance.
