It's never been perfect. In the last version (which I am still playing) I had an odd one last night. I was up on the home team by a single run heading into the bottom of the ninth. With 5 rested relievers in the pen, the opposing ai pinch hit for the number 7,8 & 1 hitters while allowing the pitcher to hit for himself (with a man on second and one out). The pitcher hacked away and grounded out - no bunt attempt. If you plan to pinch hit for your lead off hitter and don't plan to even try to move the runner over, why on earth send the pitcher up there at all? No, he was not a good hitting pitcher.
