Morrissey comes in to pinch hit for Mota." Then it is due to the other teams substituting a righty to bat in direct response to you sending a lefty to pitch. There is nothing that can stop that first batter from being switched to a righty (this happens in real baseball too, just not as often as in BrokenBat, due to roster sizes as Mike again referenced) If you want to minimize exposure to Righties for subsequent batters, then in Management change your LHS pitch count to either diamond (he'll only continue to pitch if lefties are scheduled to bat next) or set it to 0 (he'll only pitch to 1 total batter.)
