For example, if a pitcher 1.0 inning four days ago, but nothing since that, it will not affect his rest requirement for this series. In that case, the information will not be listed. I have seperate records that I include that information on for quick reference. [UC97] Roster Players: None [UC98] Roster Players: None <-----*-----> Starting Pitchers <-----*-----> Regular Rotation: MIL Eldred, CHN Foster, ANA Watson, CLE Ogea, KC Pittsley This Series: CHN Foster (R), ANA Watson (L), CLE Ogea (R) Emergency Starters: BOS Eshelman (L), KC Pittsley (R) If a rainout occurs and the starting pitcher for that day is still available, simply move the rotation back one day and use the same pitcher. The 'Emergency Starter' is to be used in cases of injuries, suspensions, or rainouts that do not allow the same pitcher to throw the next day (ie, cancelling a game after 3.0 innings). <-----*-----> Starting Lineups <-----*-----> vs LH NYN McRae cf CHN Glanville lf CHN Sosa rf CLE Williams 3b MON Fletcher c MON Grudzielanek dh PHI Brogna 1b ATL Lemke 2b CIN Reese ss vs RH MON Grudzielanek dh PHI Glanville lf CHN Sosa rf PHI Brogna 1b CLE Williams 3b CIN Reese ss MON Fletcher c FLA Counsell 2b NYN McRae cf If a player can't start, use the depth chart to select a replacement. Bat the replacement last and bump any affected players up one spot. If injuries prevent multiple players from playing, please use your best judgement. Depth Chart (Note: not all players on depth chart are necessarily active) - c - Fletcher, Walbeck 1b - Brogna (vR), Seitzer, Brogna (vL) 2b - Counsell (vR), Lemke, Reboulet, Reese, Counsell (vL) 3b - Williams, Seitzer (vR), Reboulet, Reese, Seitzer (vL) ss - Reese, Grudzielanek, Reboulet lf - Glanville, Howard (vR), Pride, Howard (vL) cf - McRae, Glanville, Howard rf - Sosa, Howard dh - Williams, Seitzer, McRae (vL), Walbeck (vR), Reboulet (vR), Grudzielanek, Glanville, Pride <-----*-----> Offensive Rules <-----*-----> (Ix-y,m:n) means in innings x to y (inclusive) and my score minus your score is between m and n (also inclusive). ---> M=L means losing by any amount ---> N=W means winning by any amount ---> If x-y is replaced by x+, that means "in inning x or later" ---> If x-y is replaced by x-, that means "in inning x or earlier" Examples: ---> (I1-6,L:W) means in innings 1 through 6, no matter what the score is ---> (I7+,-1:0) means from the 7th inning on, if I’m losing by 1 or tied ---> (I7+,[5]) means from the 7th inning on, if the score differential is 5 or more 1. PINCH HITTING Instructions: choose first available player listed in "PH With" category. If none are available, continue with listed player. DO NOT substitute when legal defense is not possible. Note: the positions listed in the "PH With" column are the position that the batter must have been playing (OR DH) in order to pinch hit with the listed player. If a substitution is made, and the pinch hitter is not rated at the defensive position, replace him if CHC retakes the field by choosing the first available player off of the depth chart in the "Starting Lineups" section.
