This is something I've noticed for several years, not sure if it's just me or if it's "as designed".
One of the things I've noticed is that after a rain delay, the pitcher sometimes is "Exhausted" which makes sense because of the delay. But, he often stays in the game - despite being exhausted. So, it's like 6 times out of 10 a hit on the next at bat. Which then results in a quick pitching change.
I'm not sure how the dynamics work, but I feel that there should be a check prior to the start of the next at bat in which the pitcher is "checked" to see if he is tired/exhausted and then changed if so.
It doesn't always happen after a delay, but it's pretty common.
