At showcases we bat the lineup, at friendlies we usually will use the DP/Flex. With 14-15 players, batters do not get up enough to get quality swings. We use friendlies to experiement with line-ups to see how different batter handle batting assignments in various batting lineups. This will not happen if you bat the line-up.
We do change the players to balance the playing time between games, just not during the game.
