Yeah, it kinda kills the immersion factor knowing your PH will suck. Especially late in the game if the pitcher spot comes up in a crucial situation, you know beforehand that your PH will K and then usually does. I think I've broken the ML record for most double switches made at least six times! When I managed the Cubs I would never PH for Zambrano. Just let him hit and then bring in a new pitcher.
