I have definitely noticed this. First noticed it about a week ago in an extra inning game when a reliever was allowed to hit in the bottom of an inning while trailing. My team still had its backup catcher and an outfielder with a day-to-day injury (22ish percent performance loss) available. I shrugged it off as maybe the AI being coded to not use backup catchers or players with day-to-day injuries until a certain inning.
But yesterday I had my closer lead off the bottom of the ninth, down by one with a fully healthy backup middle infielder, the backup catcher and backup first baseman all available.
