Pinch Hitting – Team – Replay v. Actual
There is no such thing in Strat as coming in "cold" off the bench to pinch hit. A Strat card is just as good in a pinch hitting situation as any other. Perhaps this is one reason I and "HAL" and other Strat managers used pinch hitters more often in my '54 AL replay than the real life managers did in '54. HAL was my opponent in the majority of the 616 replay games. Via NetPlay, Buck Jones and Jon Grauer provided "live" opposition in probably around 100 of the games.
