And I personally think it would make sense to have that option. For me personally when my team is winning I normally want the best defensive player on the field, and not have him pulled for a PH that can even be playing OOP the rest of the game. So to give us that option, on the management tab we could for example add something like: Pinch Hit vs LHB \| RHB unless team is winning by [# of runs]. Or something that could give us the option.

Been at least a couple of times this season that I personally had guys come in to PH with a close lead and stay on the field out of position that committed errors that lead to the other team scoring runs, some I managed to win others I lost. Sure it's just a regular season game, but it's horrible to lose like that, on an error by a player that you would not want to come in to PH under that situation because you rather have the best defender on the field. Some could say, just don't PH then, but that really isn't a valid argument, I just think that we need more control over the PH scenario, when we want to use a PH or not. Is this something that has been shot down before?
