They're little things and they don't have a significant effect on the overall sim. But when you see them, it does break the immersion.

The pitcher could get hit by the pitch, break his hand and be out months. I'd rather have someone who's much more replaceable.
Burning you're 8th hitter for a PH with the Pitcher on deck is a stretch but without more situational details I could also make an argument as why the Manager made this decision.
