Line-Up Card Problem

[JRutledge]

I think common sense must rule. I think mostly you should go by the name when it comes down to it. The numbers can often be wrong, with jersey changes or not matching up with the proper person on the substitution list.

I think the bottom line is that when you notice a mistake on a line up card, you should not nitpick it. This is not basketball, where everything has to be perfect on the scorecard and there is a defined penalty for each mistake. I would just figure out what the problem was and fix it. I have had times where the lineups were typed and someone changed a number during the season or someone got moved to another level or became healed from an injury.

Just make sure at the start of the game that you have the right number of players in the batting order. Make sure you know who the DH is batting for. Outside of that, keep it simple.
