You can't remove the pinch runner because he hasn't gotten an at-bat, and he has to replace the batter he ran for in the field. That pinch hitter who you had bat for your pitcher has to take the field now. Ok one batter has hit for the oppostition. You can replace him now. Just make sure the guy you replace him with has been to bat or will be before the game ends, otherwise you can't use him.
Should I keep going or do you see how dumb that rule would be yet??
And not using a DH makes the NL a league that starts the game with one more player available to the manager. I don't like it.

Are you really going to try to twist what I said into that kinda crap? I'm pretty sure anyone with an ounce of common sense knows what my statement meant. If a player plays the field, he also takes a slot in the batting order. But that was a valiant effort to "Spin" what I said into something it wasn't
I have voiced my opinion, you are in no way required to agree with it
