Pinch Hitting

Franco for Hill. Hill NEVER faces a RHP
Whenever a LHP enters the game and the batter comes to the plate:
Replace Hale with Buechele

the following changes:

Jordan bats for Kirby
against a righty reliever:
Redus bats for Jordan or Kirby (if he is not in RF)

Defense
SPECIAL:
If we are winning by 5 or more in the 6th, 3 or more in the 7th or winning
in the 8th or later, make the following changes:
Replace Lonnie Smith with Brian Jordan (if in CF) or Wayne Kirby (if in RF)
REGULAR:
If we are winning by 5 or more in the 7th, 3 or more in the 8th or simply
leading in the 9th, put in the following defense if possible. Do not put a
DH in the field.
C- Hoiles, Mayne LF - Gonzalez
1B - Hrbek, Fielder CF - Jordan, Kirby
2B - Kent, Easley RF - Keep O'Neill in if he is already out there.
SS - Ripken If someone else is in right, put in Kirby.
3B - Buechele, Hale, Easley
If a defensive sub is needed, use the following chart:
C: Hoiles, Mayne
1B: Hrbek, Fielder
2B: Kent, Easley
SS: Ripken.
3B: Buechele, Hale
LF: Gonzalez, Kirby, LSmith
CF: Jordan, Kirby, LSmith,
RF: O'Neill, Kirby, LSmith
Infield: If tied or losing after the fifth inning and a man is on third,
less than two are out, and no one is on first, play the infield in. If a
man is on first, play the corners in. If it is the eigth or ninth and the
go-ahead run is on third with less than 2 outs, always play it in.
Outfield in when applicable.
OF Throwing: Let all throws on the 14 or less go through to the plate
regardless of other runners. Other times, cut off any throws where the trail
runner is safe on a 9 or less except in the eighth or ninth, when the runner
represents the tying or winning run. In that case, always throw home.
Holding Runners: Do not hold any non-asterisks. Hold asterisks who can steal
on an adjusted 14 or greater (second and third, not home).
Offensive Strategy
CHECK PINCH HITTING BEFORE BUNTING
Bunting: Brent Mayne, Steve Buechele, or Wayne Kirby may bunt
in the seventh or later with the tying or winning run on first or second and no
one out. Take it off should 1 and 2 occur to Buechele only.
Hit and Run: Would Cecil Fielder hit and run? Would he pass up a free meal?
We will not hit and run, we are above it.
Squeeze: Would you expect Greg Colbrunn to squeeze? I don't know either.
Better play it safe and avoid trouble. No squeezing.
Steal: Steal second on a 15, on a 13 with 2 outs. Steal third on a 16, on an 18
with 2 outs. Do NOT steal with Steve Buechele, Paul O'Neill, Cal Ripken
or Chris Hoiles.
Running: Score on a 13, on an 11 with 2 outs. Go to third on a 15 with one
out, an 18 with none or two outs. Send trail runners if their safe number
is more than 5 less the safe chance of the lead runner. Always send trail
runners if the tying or winning run is safe at home on less than a 13 in the
eigth or ninth inning.
Pinch Running: Run for (sigh) Kent Hrbek, Cecil Fielder, or Julio Franco
with 1. Damion Easley 2. Brian Jordan 3. Glenallen Hill 4. Lonnie Smith
5. A starting pitcher.
Only use if the runner represents the tying or winning run in the ninth or
later.
Pitching:
For starters, use the following chart:
Chuck Finley pitches 8 innings max or until tired (must go at least 5)
Kenny Rogers pitches 8 innings max or until tired.(must go at least 5)
Willie Banks goes 7 innings max or until tired (must go at least 5).
Angel Miranda goes 7 innings max or until tired (yank when tired).
Dave Stewart goes 7 innings or until tired (yank when tired)
Bullpen:
Change relievers when they are tired only, unless Urbani is pitching
the game is +/- 3, it's the 7th or later and the chart calls for someone else.
EXCEPTION: In a save situation in the 9th, consult the save situation list.
Do not use a reliever three games in a row.
Stewart or Miranda start or injury only:
Before the 5th: Use Guetterman in any situation, use even if he is
tired.
5th through 7th inning:
Losing by three or more: 1. Guett 2. Plunk
Losing by less than 3 or tied: 1. Plunk 2. Guett
Winning: 1. Plunk 2. Aguilera
8th or 9th
Losing by two or more: 1. Guetterman 2. Plunk
Losing by one or tied: 1. Aguilera 2. Henke
Save situation: 1. Henke 2. Aguilera
Winning by more than 3: 1. Aguilera 2. Henke
Try to limit Henke and Aguilera to 2 IP per game.
