I find myself continually frustrated when injuries happen either on the last play of a half-inning or when the injured player makes an out.

The game forces you to immediately replace that player in the lineup (i.e., before he is due to bat or take the field the next half-inning). This obviously can cause you to either unnecessarily "burn" a bench player or foul up potential substitutions/double-switches later in the inning.

One possible work-around I thought of was to use a "tired" starting pitcher as a place-holder until I can get through the inning, but even that burns a guy who might have been used as a pinch-runner or even a pinch-hitter in an extra-inning game.

Anything else others have thought of to rectify this?
