    The game must have been a wash. If ones teams blowing out the other you can bring position players in. I bring in ian happ when im winning big in events.

    The difference is that in the past you could wait for your opponent to bring in a pinch hitter and counter that by bringing in a same handed pitcher. If you pinch hit this year and don't immediately bring in a replacement pitcher after (you can no longer wait for your opponent to see what he does first), you're stuck with the positional player on the mound for 3 outs because the game assumes you don't want to change pitchers. And then the new 3 batter rule comes into effect.

    Yeah I lost a ranked game the other day because somehow han-ram stayed in the game to pitch and could not be removed and he got me two outs and later surrendered a homer with 2 outs and I lost by one in the bottom half flying out to the warning track

    If that happens again ,and you get the 1st 2 outs , walk the 3rd batter and bring in a pitcher.

    Yes because in the past you could pretty much make your opponent burn a bench bat by picking the same handed pitcher. Most people that pinch-hit want to go against an opposite handed pitcher. This year it is less cheesy and more realistic. You should know who you are hitting against before you pick a pinch hitter.

    Last year you could do the same. Just leave the pinch hitter in for the pitcher and he will pitch. It will warn you, but just back out of it.
