OK, here's a twist on this one. If I read my book right if you have less then 9 at game time you lose. If you started with 9 and lost one after 3.5/4 innings (Minors) you lose. What if, you lost the guy after the start of the game but before it became a regulation game? ie. Second inning? Declare it a 'no game'? What about pitching stats?

Thanks!

You lose, by forfeit, whenever you can no longer place 9 players on the field. If not a regulation game at time of forfeit no stats count, including innings pitched, ie game did not happen statistically. If a regulation game at time of forfeit, all stats count. If the team that won by forfeit was leading count pitching records for won-loss records as they would have been. If a regulation game and the winning team was not leading at time of forfeit then there are no win-loss records to record (ie no decision for both pitchers). However, innings pitched count.
