For example: a pitcher is injured after the 3rd out of the inning. He is scheduled to bat 4th in the inning but the game wont allow the batters to bat until he is replaced. It puts the human manager at a disadvantage because you must immediately decide whether to place a pinch hitter in the lineup in the hope that one of the batters will get on base (if they don't you lose a bench player) or use a pitcher and lessen your chances of scoring.
That also caused a problem when the home team pitcher was injured after getting the third out in the top of the ninth, and then the home team wins the game in the bottom of the inning. The AI automatically named a replacement for the injured pitcher, and the replacement got the victory, even though he never even appeared in the game. I'm not sure if that has been fixed, but I'm sure it generated a lot of bug tickets in the past.
