If the top of the lineup is considered first, there are only
8 choices for 1st batter, then 7 choices, 6, and 5
So the number of choices for the top 4 positions are
then the pitcher becomes available plus the
4 others left. , next here are 4 choices, then 3,
2, and 1
is the sum of all the choices
Hope I got it right
