What’s the thought process

Ok. I’ve had a few rums. (I’m in Uk. Don’t judge it’s well past lunch time ha!)
I play a game of ranked.
I am perfect gamed through 8 innings by Luis Castillo. My semi drunk 37 year old self is swinging at everything. (Bear in mind I’ve never been perfected or no hit in any show)
Luckily, so is he. I’ve got Marcus Stroman on the mound purely to get the 500 PXP mission.
It’s 0-0. He has 3 hits.
It’s the bottom of the 8th. He decided to take out Castillo for a pinch hitter!! No good. Goes to the last inning.
He brings on Hesley. I’m 2 outs, I bring on Brett. 1-2 count. My brain learnt he goes up and in when he can’t get me to chase low. Bang. 1-0. HR.
I give up two hits in the bottom of the 9th but hold out for a 1-0 win.
Anyway. Despite the fact it was a terrible boring game.
Why did my man take out Castillo?!

For me, as a 400-500 level player, it’s BORING online. No hits, games ending 1-0 with 3 hits among both squads. But he probably took him out to have a better chance at getting offense or he may have been low energy

True. My games are generally 15-10 or 2-0 too. I hover around 5-600.
He wasn’t low energy. He was only about 60’pitches in
Guess he just wanted it over too.

It may not be as fun when its a 1-0,2-0 game..But personally that gets me hype when I'm able to finally figure out the other player's pitching strategy by the last few innings, guess right on a pitch and absolutely nuke one to take the lead.
It's so demoralizing playing that well, only to make 1 pitching mistake that causes you to lose. 40 minutes of game time just to take an L. OOF

Why do managers pinch hit in real games? You have your answer there.
