I was wondering about a couple of lineup tricks that might be used for a team on the road. The simplest idea was that you would list the previous night's starter as the starting pitcher for the game and in the 9 spot in the lineup. Then if you happen to get to the 9th spot in the lineup the first time up you can put in a pinch hitter. In any even you would bring in your "true" starter to pitch the bottom half of the first.
The other idea is to list no pitchers in your lineup to start the game, and then insert the pitcher into the lineup after your first time up.
Has anything like this been done before?
