Lineup strategies
-
Any lineup strategies? I tried one that was mentioned in the ohtani conquest topic and I ended up winning 7-4 against the Rockies.

What game mode are you playing?

I try to put hitters with good ratings in my lineup. I tend to keep players I have success with in my lineups and remove ones I struggle with. Hope this helps.

If you feel like you hit better righty or lefty you could try platoons. I hit like a full .150 points higher with lefties AND hit righties better than lefties regardless so I’ll throw in guys like Lowe Griffey and Ohtani who hit really well against RHP and if they throw an RHP perfect. If not and I struggle against a L/L match up I switch sub someone who hits switch like Yoan Moncada… not quite as good but hits better against RH to begin with. (Ben Zobrist used to be the king of this before he could play anywhere and hit LHP better)
Guys like Ryan Howard crush the ball from one side and are terrible against the opposite, if you bring in a righty and they bring in a righty right after it’s not a great strategy. If you switched him with someone like Eddie Murray who hits switch…bingo you get the advantage to start or for the rest of the game.
This has always worked well for me because it seems like alot of guys who hit switch, also hit better from the right side against lefties.
Years ago people would use the bench for pinch hitters but we have a universal DH. Most people don’t use there whole bench but why not? My last two bench players is always a speed guy who I can sub in for my catcher and then someone like Gibson who could pinch hit or just take over C if I need.
Lineup strategies helped me make WS quite a few times when I was first starting I can promise you that.
And if they hit amazing for you, don’t listen to other people. Swings have always mattered. I’ve used the same three players for the 3HR in a row mission every extreme drop for years.
