stolen bases (successful and not)... including errant throws by the catcher
pinch hit, pinch run, bullpen & defensive substitutions... All need to be broadcast

I'm sure there may be a few more, but these are really vital. You would also need to determine how to update substitutions when the game is controled by a human. Maybe all substitutions should be part of the following play-by-play text. Example:

P Smith in to pitch
Mike Johnson in to pinch run at 1st
The pitch
A single
etc, etc, ...

I agree. These should be included in the broadcast. It's an excellent feature that could be made even better.
