Strange sub in the playoffs

I'm playing (actually watching) a first round playoff game in my fictional CBL. Las Vegas versus Yukon. The computer pinch hits for Yukon's starting catcher with a right fielder. This right fielder hit about 50 points lower in the regular season, but nevermind that, there's a bigger problem. When Yukon takes the field the right fielder (who is only rated in right) is catching. There is another catcher on the bench. The right fielder catches the rest of the game. He has two passed balls, one of which allows a run to score. The game ended up 8-1, so it wasn't the deciding factor, but still... When's the last time you saw Raul Mondesi catch the last four or five innings of a playoff game when the Yanks still had a real catcher sitting on the bench?
