What's odd to me is I can change pitchers out and I still have a pitcher performing as a pitcher. No detrimental affect.
I can substitute any fielding position with a guy from the bench and I still have a fielder (and corresponding position in the lineup). No detrimental affect.
I can substitute any fielding position I like with a guy from another fielding position - and backfill the first guys position with someone from the bench and I still end up with fielders and lineup spots as orchestrated. No detrimental affect.
But, if, like the situation I describe where I would like to have the guy that started the game as DH substitute for a fielding position, I now lose the bat in the lineup and have an AL game with a pitcher batting. This is a detrimental affect.
That is what is odd to me.
I still love baseball and OOTP and all. It's just an odd rule.
