When it comes for "pinch hit for left/right pitching" "pinch run for" and "replace for defense", is the selection that you make in relation to whether you want the specified player to be INSERTED into a game in those situations or REMOVED from the game in those situations? For instance, if I have a power hitter who can only hit RHP, is super slow, and has terrible defense, would an appropriate selection for him be "x" on the LHP, "5" on the RHP, and then mark an "x" in both "pinch run for" and "replace for defense"? That's how I understand those selections to work. I'd like to know if I have that right or completely backwards. Thanks!

(If that makes sense). The settings are for the player that is in the game. So you may choose who gets pinch run for, but the match engine will select the pinch runner. In you example, I think you got the PH columns reversed. This you want: Pinch LHP: 5 (hits lefties poorly, PH ASAP) Pinch RHP: X (hits righties well) Pinch run: ✓ (slow) Replace for D: ✓ (bad fielder)
