Rosters - Allow players to be edited before the 2nd game of a double header
Requests to allow players to be edited before the 2nd game of a double header. Currently, players are locked as soon as the first game begins.

Allow managers to set the line up for each game in a double header.

Just do it already. Fantasy sports is the only thing keeping Yahoo out of bankruptcy.

4-4-24, tigers and mets cant be added to second game lineup if they weren't payed in the 1st game. Dumb.

On 8-12-2023, the Atlanta Braves played a double header. I have both catchers for Atlanta, and after the first game, I tried to switch catchers on my roster lineup. The page would not let me do so. In addition, as I also played Eddie Rosario, OF, in the first game, and knew that he would be replaced in the second game, I wanted to place him on the bench, and insert another player in the lineup for the second game. The page would not allow me to do so. Can you assist? Thank you, Dan Hillman

should be a long rectangular box with two squares imbedded in them representing game 1 and game 2 for doubleheaders This double box you can start a player who still can play a 2nd game Pitchers especially if one starts a late game should be able to start him not be locked out because of game 1 this is important for you lose this players turn for the week just because the system sees 1 game played for that day.

Would help at some positions, like catching, and with the age of players.

This is a small kink that needs to be addressed. Especially early in the season with weather postponements pushing doubleheaders all over the season. Locking up position players and pitchers alike who are only in one of two games is cringing and sometimes frustrating.

Couldn't agree more. You should have the ability to edit players playing in the first and/or second game of a double header. Especially a SP starting the second game. Ridiculous and makes zero sense. You'd think it would be an easy fix.

Please, stop making a player play both double headers. If he is out in the first game and plays in the 2nd game. We are stuck. You should allow a player in a double header to be taken out or in for either game.

Having to chose whether to play a player for both games of a double header or neither creates problems. Would be a lot better if you could start a player for either game, neither game, or both. The current functionality makes it terrible when your player has a double header. If he plays in game 1 and is in your lineup, you run the risk of him sitting game 2. No big deal, unless he pinch hits in the second game. Then you blow a whole game played for one pinch hit AB. Especially with 7 inning games for double headers, you almost have to sit anyone but your studs, as you risk using 2 games played for 4 ABs.

Sounds like a good idea to me

It seems like we should be able to bench a player who is not starting the first game of a doubleheader and start him for the second. Currently if you gamble that he'll start the second game and he doesn't, you are in a position to waste two outfield starts by not starting another player for one of those games. Is it possible to have that player listed twice on your roster on those DH days?

Today I had a starting pitcher who was pitching the second game of a double header. Instead of leaving him as not active until the second game began, you guys list him as active at the start of the first game. And of course when I log in to make sure he's on the bench as I was going to sit him tonight, he was up under the starting pitching and since the first game was being played, I could not move him back to the bench. And he goes on to get freaking racked. This is unacceptable. We should be able to move STARTING PITCHERS in and out of the line-up before their game starts. Utterly ridiculous.

Agreed, this should be done.

maybe intentional passes should not count against a pitcher and maybe we should be able to make a change in the second game of a double header

I made a trade after game 1 started to add the starter for game 2 to my team. I was allowed to waste a trade (10 max for the week in the league I am in) but then could not use the pitcher. Please lock the pitcher out if you are not going to allow them to be used or give some sort of warning.

This is a no-brainer. Yahoo should make fantasy game play as close to real MLB game play as possible.

Doubleheader players editable after first game; simple as that. If the player is not in the starting lineup the 2nd game, why is that roster position not available to designate a other players. I'd add a new stat line temporarily under the player in the first game and it reverts back to normal the next day.
