Problems with Bullpen Warmups and Simulating within the game

Ok... major gripe.... I like to have bullpen warming turned on and I also like to sim games until usually the fifth inning... since I am into bullpen management (frustrated pitching coach).. Anyway, often I click, [Simulate to 5th or 6th inning] and I find that the computer has hit for my pitcher previously but doesnt have anyone to replace them. It dumps me to the lineup screen where I have to insert a cold pitcher. Well, more often than not, I get hit with multiple walks which affect the games outcome. Short of playing an AL team or turning bullpen warm ups off, is there anything I can do to prevent this? Also, whats the major difficulty with having the computer also warm guys up? Tony Larussa Baseball used to do it and it made me consider who to pitch and pinch hit with. Just a fly in the smooth ointment that is OOTP5
