Starting Pitchers
In this tutorial you are going to control all of the action for
your team. When you start play, the first thing you will see is the
screen below, which allows you to select the starting pitcher for
your team.
If the DMB computer was managing your opponent, you'll see that
it has already selected its starting pitcher as shown in the area
in the lower right of the screen. In this example you can see that
the DMB computer is starting Don Newcombe.
To set the starting pitcher:
1. Review your pitching ranks and select the
pitcher you think will make a good starter for this game. Remember
to check the status codes for
the pitchers. Click once
on the pitcher's name and release the mouse
button.
2. Position the mouse near the top or bottom edge of the
player's name. When the cursor changes from the normal arrow cursor
to the special drag-and-drop arrow, left-click
again, hold your mouse button down, and drag the player over
to the "Current lineup" area on the right side of the screen and
release the mouse button.
NOTE: By default, DMB places
the pitcher you select in the 9th position in the batting order.
You can change this later if you wish, when you set the final
batting order.
3. Click the OK button to proceed to setting
the batting order.
IMPORTANT! You must click the button labeled "OK" on this screen before
you can set the batting order.
