Frankly, *letting a pitcher bat in a game* is probably a mistake (and having more than 1 pitcher PA in a game is almost certainly a punt) unless you have a HoF pitcher on the mound.
Let's not pretend that RL managers always make correct decisions.

This is what I was getting at. Thousands of decisions in the regular season, managers make boneheaded ones all the time, not all of them cost you a win.
