Setting the Lineup for Every Game

4/1/2018

Play One Day will sim all the games for that day. But you don't need to sim each individual game to have control over the lineups. Turn on Commissioner Mode (in the upper left corner of the "Options" dialog in the Tools Menu). This gives you control of every team, and the computer manager won't alter the lineups you set for each team (unless someone is unable to play due to injury).

If you want to set the lineup for each team at the very beginning of the game, with access to head-to-head stats against the opposing pitcher, follow these steps:
  1. Turn on Commissioner Mode.
  2. Go to the Calendar Page and right-click on any three games. This will trigger a popup asking you if you want to select all games for Play-By-Play Mode.
  3. Click More Options' and then click Yes. This selects all games for every team.
This will cause all of the day's games to be opened in Play-By-Play Mode, with the ability to choose the starting pitcher and starting lineup for both teams at the beginning of each game. If you want to sim the game after you've specified the exact lineup, click Finish in the upper right.

Eric,

Baseball Mogul has had decision options for baserunners in Manager Mode since 2006, for all of the following situations:

1) Scoring from second on a single.
2) Scoring from first on a double.
3) Going from first-to-third on a single.
4) Stretching a single into a double.
5) Stretching a double into a triple.
6) Stretching a triple into an inside-the-park home run.
7) Tagging up.

The display shows you where the runner and fielder are exactly at the moment the ball is fielded, and your coach gives you his estimate of what the odds are of advancing safely.

This is what the interface looks like:

However, if the chance to take an extra base is less than 20% or more than 90%, the computer auto-decides without showing that screen. Otherwise you'd have to click through a lot of dumb decisions (e.g. "You have a 1% chance to score if you tag up. Would you like to try to tag up?")
