The starter who is locked in and dealing retires the side in order, game over, the rejoicing begins. The scenario I just laid is out is well within reality, it can happen. I like that OOTP simulates all possibilities.

I could see that scenario in the bottom of the 9th. I can't see it in the top of the 8th when you're trailing by 1 run in game 7 of the WS. I don't care what the SP tells me about dragging him out of the game while he's standing in the on deck circle, he's not hitting. There's no way you don't put a pinch hitter in there.
