I have 3 good bats on the bench and for some reason the sim keeps using pitchers to pinch hit? I set the pinch hitters up and still the sim brings in a pitcher to pinch hit? Any help on what is wrong?

are they being used as defensive replacements or "rest" before the PH chances? Happens to me all the time with my NL teams.

No but he only has 11 position players. I think it's more a case of simmy holding players back in case of injury/d-replacements. The last spot in the PH hierarchy is blank. I think SIMMY is subbing a pitcher for the that spot.

Probably best to send a ticket.

11 position players = 14 pitchers. Simmy doesn't use best in some instances, so PH = P in that case, to hold back a bat.

Why does anybody need 14 pitchers on a ML staff?

Why would LaRussa carry that many if he could? To show intellect....

I only have 22 on the roster because I was waiting to call up a couple rookies to avoid an arb year. That is besides the point.

I added another bat to ensure all PH slots were filled and it still used a pitcher to PH. Anyone else encountered this problem?

Any other suggestions?

I do also like to carry a RHS and LHS. They can be found for cheap and can be effective in spot duty.

If it's early in the game, and a non-critial situation, SIMMY makes strange PH decisions. I don't know what else it could be.
