Perhaps my greatest frustration with the online game is Hal’s tendency to avoid pinch hitting for position players, particularly in the case of platooning players. Hal very rarely pulls a skewed hitter when he gets turned around, even in high impact situations. In hitter strategy, how great would it be if there was a hard setting available for this purpose? I would love to see, in the context of hitters who are skewed 2L/2R or greater...and provided another player who covers his position is on the bench, setting choices something like
Highest - Always pinch hit for him every time he faces his weak side.
High - Always pinch hit for him if facing weak side from 7th inning on if tied or behind or if ahead, leading off or if up with runner(s) in scoring position.
Medium - Always pinch hit for him if facing weak side from 7th inning on if tied or behind.
Low - Something like the current logic
Lowest - Never pinch hit for him
