Do i just not know the rules of baseball ?... My catcher hit a single to RF, to load the bases, in the top of the 8th, of a 2 run game. The next better up is my CF, who can be pinch hit for. He was not. I believe it was because the batter who would be pinch hitting is not a defensive replacement. for CF. I didn't think that mattered. I thought : ?Scenario 1- A player can come into the game as a pinch hitter or pinch runner, then a completely different player could come in to play the field. Now.. my catcher who hit that single to load the bases in the top of the 8th was indeed pinch run for. There were 4 players to choose from to pinch run for this catcher, and the sim engine chose to pinch run a catcher for another slow catcher, despite having 3 fast guys on the bench with base running ratings 70+. Do i have Scenario 1 wrong ? If i have scenario 1 right. Can anyone across any world post a box score showing Scenario 1. Not involving a pitcher ?

Sorry if someone mentioned this already but this is the classifieds which is for posting openings in world's for recruiting new owners.

A pinch hitter is a batter used as a substitute for another batter. A pinch hitter only comes into the game when the batter whose turn he is taking is due to bat. At that time, he is "announced into the game"; the batter which he replaced is out of the game for good. If a pinch hitter is in the on-deck circle but the inning ends before he comes to bat, he is not considered to have been announced into the game and can be used at a later point of the game. If a substitute player is already in the game, having come in earlier as a defensive substitute or as a pinch runner, he is not considered to be a pinch hitter when his turn to bat comes. The usual abbreviation for a pinch hitter is PH.

Pinch hitters are used principally in two situations: to replace a weak hitter (often the pitcher, although a weak-hitting defensive specialist can also be a target), or to gain a platoon advantage. In some instances, a manager will send a pinch hitter to execute a specific play, such as a sacrifice bunt.

When the pinch hitter's team takes the field the next half-inning, the pinch hitter can either:

• (a) take the defensive position of the player for which he pinch hit;
• (b) take another position on the field, with other defensive substitutions being made to ensure that all defensive positions are filled; or
• (c) be in turn replaced by a defensive substitute.

Consider my post a consumer report, that would indeed be in the proper forum.
