After playing out hundreds of games in OOTP16 I have noticed that the AI does not pinch hit for his pitcher late in game when trailing nearly as often as it should. Even with the Pinch Hit for Pitcher setting set to Very Often, quite often the AI will allow his pitcher to bat in the 7th or 8th even with tying or go ahead runners on base, often even with 2 outs. I've seen this behavior in old-time leagues from the 30s-50s as well as in leagues using the most recent 2015 roster set.

Is it possible to tweak global pitch-hit-for-pitcher logic to make the AI almost always pinch hit for pitcher in the 7th 8th or 9th when tied or trailing with tying or go ahead runners on? I can't imagine how many games the AI has lost due to missed opportunities to pinch hit for pitcher late.
