That is exactly your problem. I've seen a few online leagues that I have come across this and explained it to them. Basically when you use 7 day lineups, it will go through those lineups and then on the 8th day will start whoever the next selected pitcher from your main pitching staff screen is listed as.

The problem with that is that "next pitcher" indicator does not move when using the 7 day lineups, so it almost always ends up in a case where you pitch 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5 - 1 - 2 - 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 -5 but because your #1 and #2 are tied, it ends up going to some pitcher in the bullpen instead and causing chaos.

Since many online leagues are 14 days, this occurs every sim until the teams figure it out.

Either turn off 7 day lineups in online league, or just guess ahead to who the next starter should be once they run out. (ie: in the scenerio above, change your "next starter" to #3 instead of #1 so he will start at the end of your 7 days.
