We should probably be able to see the depth chart setup or something.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend. There are several things going on. The logic of when to and when not to pinch hit for Sanchez, the best defensive 2nd baseman on the team. There is also a logic problem with catcher use when assuming what was argued earlier in this thread that the reason the AI wasn't pinch hitting with the platooned righty catcher when the lefty starter was facing a lefty is because the AI is loathe to use the backup catcher. If that is the case then why is it subsequently being used as part of a double switch a half inning after all of the pinch hitting went on. Also the scores of the game and whether or not there should even be any pinch hitting going on.
EDIT: Oh yeah, I forgot that you need to look at the defensive replacements at the start of the next half inning as it brings in the backup infielder and puts him at third where he has very little experience and moves the starting experienced third baseman to second.
