Batting Order

Once the starting pitchers have been selected for a scheduled game, you can proceed to set the batting order.

When you clicked "OK" after selecting your starting pitcher, the DMB screen switches to show you the player roster for your team. As with the pitching roster, you can click the checkbox labeled "Show available only" to filter the roster.

To set the batting order:

1. Click once on the name of a player you wish to add to the batting order 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.

3. Hover your mouse pointer over the position in the batting order you want the selected player to fill and release your mouse button. DMB displays a popup menu so you can choose his defensive position.

NOTE: You will be able to change the order before playing the game if you wish.

4. Choose a defensive position from the popup menu.

Notice that as you fill positions in the batting order, the positions they play change from red to blue in the area just below the current lineup. This is simply to help you see what positions need to be filled.

When the pitchers have been selected and the lineups are set, click OK and play ball.
