ML Player Rest Hierarchy

ML Defensive Replacement Hierarchy

Use Defensive Replacements if winning by 1 or more runs in the 7th or later.

Use Player Rest if winning by 1 or more runs in the 6th or later.

Both checked.

In ML Player settings, the only box unchecked is the Defensive Replacement box for my 3B, which should have no impact here.

Game 1
Game 2
Game 3

Lofton has been set at RF in both the Player Rest and Defensive Replacement hierarchies from game 1. Sanchez was placed into the Rest hierarchy prior to game 3.

In game 1, we won in the bottom of the 9th, so there was never any point where we were winning by even one run and subs could have come in.

In game 2, we scored a run in the bottom of the 7th, taking a 1-run lead. At this point, the Defensive Replacements hierarchy should have kicked in for the top of the 8th - and, in fact, it did for first base (Q.McClellan enters the game at 1B as a defensive replacement.). It did not, however, for RF, as Lofton stayed on the bench.

In game 3, we were up 2-0 after 5 innings. At this point, the Player Rest hierarchy should have kicked in - and, in fact, it did for first base (Q.McClellan enters the game at 1B to rest the starter.). It did not, however, for RF, as Lofton stayed on the bench OR for DH as Sanchez stayed on the bench.

Thoughts on why this is happening?

Lofton set to rest?

And there is the obvious answer I was missing. I'd hadn't changed my "rest" from ST to "bench" for every one of my lineups. Thanks, jon.

Which is exactly why after spring training ends I hit the Auto set button for all levels after spring training and then modify from there.
