And in my opinion there should be no setting where the opposite happens. Unfortunately that is just what happened in my most recent playoff game with this team. It just makes no logical sense and doesn't seem to sit within the normal parameters of MLB substitution strategies.

Normal parameters of MLB substitution strategies usually (but not 100%) of the time are out the windows for catchers being pinch-hit for. It's don't happen to often because teams usually carry only 2 catchers & if you pinch hit for one, you only have 1 left & if he gets hurt during that game....you are pretty much screwed....Although most teams have a last resort catcher...not ideal situation
Just my little knowledge of the game is all this is. But I think you can set it up in lineup somewhere to pinch-hit for players, but I play out every game & don't know ins & outs of the AI
