Changing Positions???

JrCrowley33 · 10-21-2004, 11:39 PM

Is it possible to put position players on the mound if your team is getting killed to save your arms? I havent been able to do this. Also, is it possible to have a pitcher pinch run for someone? Everytime I try to do this, it inserts the pitcher into the game as a pitcher and not a pinch runner....While I am at it, I am also having a hard time getting pitchers to pinch hit for other players. For example, If I wanted to pinch hit Hampton, or Glavine, or Smoltz for a really weak bat. Please let me know.

Out of all the things listed, the only one you can do is put a position player on the mound from the bench. You cannot move a player that's already in the game to the mound, though.

You drag a player from the bench to a spot in the lineup, and when it asks you what position to play him, you pick "P". (I usually warm up my emergency pitcher first, so dragging from the warm-up area to the lineup works too.)
