DH subbing to the field - ATG 9

Anyone remember back when the DH would be locked into his position and couldn't be moved to the field? Has anyone noticed this happening again with ATG 9?

My lineup has Garth Iorg at 3rd, the 1894 Ed Delahanty in left, and Joe Kelley as my DH. I have it set so that if Iorg gets injured, Ed moves in from left to 3rd, Kelley slides from DH to left, and Tim Teufel steps in as the DH. Iorg has taken 2 injuries in 9 games now, and both times Ed has stayed in left, Kelley at DH and someone off the bench came in at 3rd for the following game.

I dont mind planning for these changes, I just wish there was some consistency to them.

The lineup settings ONLY affect future games, not in game substitutions.

correct, but this was for the following game after the injury.

This is probably why:

Sample depth chart
2B: Chase Utley (backup: Freddy Sanchez)
SS: Freddy Sanchez (backup: Bill Hall)

At the start of a game, if Utley were unavailable to play, the computer manager would try to insert his first backup, Sanchez, into the starting lineup at 2B. Since Sanchez is normally the starting SS, the computer would play his backup, Hall, at SS, so that Sanchez can slide over to play 2B.

At present, although the system is able to perform multiple, separate shifts in the same lineup, it can only handle one level of a given shift. In other words, using the above example, if Hall happened to also be in the starting lineup already (e.g. in CF), instead of moving Hall to SS, it would pull someone from the bench to replace Sanchez.

so I have 1 level too many of subs set? I guess I must. Delahanty could come in to 3rd if I had a new LF, but since my LF is coming from Dh...Dang. I do..

Arghhh..

thanks for the help.

No prob, I've run into similar situations before. It is a bit limited, but generally works.

I don't know about all that, but I do know this, and I would guess that SOM would follow these rules: In real baseball, if your DH takes a position in the field you lose the DH and the pitcher bats in the position of the removed player.

coach, you are absolutely correct, and I dont think I have ever seen a game where a DH came out to the field in game. We were talking about if you can move the player listed as DH in your lineup to a fielding position in the game following an injury. So for example, if you want your DH to be the backup LF if your LF gets hurt, can he start in LF the next game and have someone off the bench take his spot as DH.

Coach, they are talking about setting their lineups for future games in which to move the DH to a position if their regular starter at that position is injured. It doesn't have an effect on in-game actions, so the DH would stay the DH for the remainder of the game.

Pretty sure HAL will never move the DH to the field. Lame, but just won't do it.
