Inserting a new pitcher

Inserting a new pitcher

The starting pitcher has already been set by using the Roster & Lineup Manager. The starting pitcher has also been set in every cell on the scoresheet. Once a game starts you must always use the P key to insert a new pitcher.

Make sure the cursor is on the correct cell then press P to insert a new pitcher. The Insert Pitcher dialog box will appear. Select the pitcher that you want to insert from the list then press Enter. Every cell from the current cell to the end of the scoresheet will be set to the new pitcher. A New Pitcher Marker (red line at the top of a cell) will be placed in the current cell to separate the new pitchers stats from the previous pitchers stats.

You will prompted as to whether or not you want to insert the new pitcher into the batting order right now.

If you are using a DH for the pitcher then always select No. If you know the pitcher is not going to bat you can also select No. If you do select No then the pitcher will not appear in the batting section of the boxscore but will still appear in the pitching section.

If you select Yes then the Roster & Lineup Manager dialog box will appear. Select the slot in the lineup where you want the pitcher to bat then click the Place player button. Ignore the Duplicate position warning. If you are prompted that the player is already in the lineup click Yes to remove him from the old position and insert him in the new slot. This is normal as the pitcher was first placed at the bottom of the lineup in case you didn't want to have him appear in the regular lineup. Click Ok to exit the RLM.

If the Set Defense dialog box appears and you don't have any other changes to make beside the pitcher then press Enter then Yes to the prompt.
