Because MLB managers don't do that. They don't pull their GG winning SS with a lead. I don't even care if it makes sense because I want the sim to actually simulate. And as for the pinch hitting of my center fielder, he is a consistent .800 OPS guy who is rated as a "13" (1-20) in CF and the guy that replaced him is rated as a "6".
It also makes sense to never sac bunt, even with your pitchers but I wouldn't want the AI doing that and I don't do that because I am trying to run a sim, not min/max a video game.
