Subs...

hitmanwa · 07-23-2009, 10:31 AM

I set my backup C to start every 2nd game vs RHP on the depth chart yet my starter continues to start. Any ideas as to what might be up? 7 day LUps are off.

Also, I'm still unclear on this. If I set him to start every 5th game when would it start. Every 5th game from that point on or every 5th, 10th, 15th game of the season?

Thanks in advance,
Hit

Based on what you've reported here, there is something not working right for your team. If you set the backup to come in every second game, that should be happening. Don't have enough info to speculate about the problem you are having. You might try some experiments (like reversing starter and backup), to see what you can figure out. Post more specific info if you can (including a picture if you know how to do that).

I imagine that you already double-checked this, but make sure you have the backup every second game against both RHP and LHP if that's what you want. If your league plays with a dh, you need to set the lineups there instead.

Thanks guys, still haven't figured out what I was doing wrong. I started using the 7-Day lineups instead. It's prolly better this way anyhow.

Just getting back to this, thanks for the reply guys. I set every 3rd day for both the L and R linups and it subs like it should but, it changes the batting order. Am I seeing this correctly? 7 day lineups are better to deal with, right?
