OOTP has know about this significant bug for well over a year, maybe even two. I love the game, and I understand how complex programming can be, but hard could it be to fix such an error?
I'd much rather have a bug like that fixed than have crowd noise in a spring training game.

What he said...
I have encountered three versions of this issue:
1) Where it crashes when I try to sub for the injured pitcher and it crashes as soon as I release the pitcher I've dragged into the "Pitcher" spot.
2) Where it crashes immediately following the play-by-play after the pitcher's injury (although this one happens to me rarely)
3) When the pitcher gets injured at the end of the game and I can't drag and drop a substitution because the game is over. However, one of the patches I believe provided a "Leave Game" button in the bottom left corner which I can use to exit the game, so that one can be worked around without a crash.
So basically, since I play out all my games, the only time a pitcher gets injured is if it happens outside a game (e.g. barfight, etc.) or on the very last play of a game.
I actually had it crash once when I tried to sub for an injured position player, but I only had that happen that one time. Haven't seen it again since.
Let me know if I can do anything to assist troubleshooting. It doesn't seem to be a global problem - some people claim they never run into this issue. But I've heard enough people complain about it to know that it definitely isn't just a weird quirk with my league. I just wish we could find the one commonality - it might help us figure out where in the code the bug is. My league is a historical league starting in 1970. I'm currently in 1973.
