Anyone try this?

Okay, so if I set a LH hitter to avoid LH pitchers and put him in my alt lineup vs. a LH starter with no platoon sub, will HAL
a) leave him in all game regardless of the handedness of the reliever who comes in.
b) immediately pinch hit for him upon his 1st AB
or
c) pinch hit for him if a LH reliever comes in.

My understanding is that the avoid setting for hitters applies to coming off bench only.
B is definitely no
A is it depends
C is maybe. If you don’t want a pinch hitter, set him “don’t pinch it for…”

Thanks

The wiki claims that "avoid" applies to hitters in the starting lineup as well as those coming off the bench. But I agree I've never seen HAL pinch hit for a starter before his first PA unless he has a platoon counterpart identified. As far as I can tell "avoid" kicks in to yank starters if a certain leverage is reached: close, late, runners on etc.

Thank you guys.
