Once you know what that specific league is expected to do, within the game's framework, you either 1) modify settings toward achieving your ends or 2) identify specific drawbacks regarding functionality and either request they be addressed or live with them. All after definitive findings through numerous seasons with the same structure and settings.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I am the OP for this thread.

For example (and this is a simple one, I know), it might seem strange that the AI pinch hit with a RHB when a RHP is on the mound. But we may discover, if we probed, that the AI had no LHBs available to PH. Or that the only LHB was the lone backup catcher. So, what looks out of place from a distance may make more sense when we examine the situation up close.

Note that none of the examples in this thread are of me or anyone complaining about the AI using a RHB to pinch hit against a RHP. That is certainly a subjective evaluation and real life MLB managers do not always pinch hit with a lefty against a righty or vice versa even when the option is available to them.

It helps to remember that the AI is always a work in progress. Hopefully, our input, even if we sometimes have to withdraw our complaints, will help make it better.

I agree with that. However, the reason I made this thread is because when I brought these situations up in the past I was almost always shot down by regular, long time members of the forum stating that I must be wrong about what I was seeing because they never saw such things in all of their years of playing. So I figured I'd start this thread and post screen shots to prove I wasn't just trying to troll the community. Even after doing so I have seen responses from some saying they have never seen the things I have posted and that maybe I am actually playing out the games and making those moves myself and then posting it as if the AI was doing it. So excuse me if I get a bit defensive about this thread.
