7 Day Lineups
Do you use 7 day lineups or traditional? If you use(d) 7 day lineups, what has been your experience?

I use both depending on a variety of things:

Matchups vs a particular pitcher
My mood
My ambition

Re: 7 Day Lineups
If you'll indulge me a little, as I'm interested in moving toward 7DLs as well: When analyzing matchups vs a pitcher, do you go with historical stats, or are you doing a rating vs. rating review? Maybe a little of both?shoeless.db wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 11:56 amI use both depending on a variety of things:

Re: 7 Day Lineups
I believe if you select the option for "clear lineups after use" then it'll just revert to your normal lineups and you won't have any weirdness.Dington wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 11:58 amMy biggest concern is if I don't have time to make changes in between sims or I forget.shoeless.db wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 11:56 amI use both depending on a variety of things:

Re: 7 Day Lineups
And to answer the question I use both. Primarily too make sure my top starters get extra starts when we have days off.

Re: 7 Day Lineups
I like to monkey with 7 Day lineups when it's available but my schedule gets so hosed with the rain that it's not practical.

Re: 7 Day Lineups
I use 7-day and have for many seasons now. Occasionally I get bored with the season or if we are out and just go to traditional.
This year I've really tinkered with 7-day lineups because I have 3 COFs that all need PT so I'm shuffling starts around to make sure to maximize all 3 guys and get them as many ABs and Games Played as possible. I also like to tinker with matchups as the season progresses when trends in vsL and vsR develop for certain teams.

Re: 7 Day Lineups
Mostly rating vs. rating. I look at the stuff and control rating of the opposing pitcher to determine what style of hitter would have the best chance of succeeding (handedness has the highest weight).Drew_V wrote: ↑Thu Dec 09, 2021 12:14 pmIf you'll indulge me a little, as I'm interested in moving toward 7DLs as well: When analyzing matchups vs a pitcher, do you go with historical stats, or are you doing a rating vs. rating review?

If we’re winning or losing
High stuff guy; sit my low AVK guys.
High control; sit my low avg/high Eye guys
I don’t care about opposing movement as hitting home runs is a fool’s gambit and should be avoided, when possible.
Occasionally, Carlos Camacho will send us a sign to alter our lineups. We never ignore those, of course.

Re: 7 Day Lineups
I’ve meant for years to swap from traditional to 7D but have just been too lazy to do it. I can see where the advantages of extra starts for top pitchers and better matchups are, maybe if I ever get close to someone in the league I might force myself

I never use 7 day and 95% of the time i don't even look at the teams upcoming much less the pitchers. I trust my offense to do its job.

Re: 7 Day Lineups
I use them about a quarter of the sims in my league for all the reasons shoeless.db said above.
Two seasons ago, a AAAA bench guy (when he's with my main team) hit about .750 against my 2 main rivals and their best starters. This year, he was stuck back in AAA, when I had the genius idea to call him up for back-to-back series against said rivals and their top pitchers. I crafted 7-day lineups based on past performances. My AAAA, a speedy switch-hitter, was poised to finally break through and stick with the big league club...
He went 1-for-the-sim. We went 2 and 4. I wasn't a genius after all.
