Had this just happen:
In a National League game, pitcher strikes out a guy to end the inning but gets hurt on the pitch and "has to be taken out." The pitcher was batting third the next inning, and sure enough...his replacement P is in that slot coming up to the plate with two outs.
The AI should have either done a double switch (not really though), or better yet waited to put in a P and just had a guy or two warming up in the bullpen.
Rare situation, but it's costing the AI team here...
Edit: He just hit into a double play :/
