Ochiai takes the mound to pitch. Hess pops out to short stop. Brewer grounds to short stop. Brewer is thrown out at first by Esquivel. Sugahara comes in to pinch hit for Marsh. But why would he stay in to face a switch hitter? Are specialists only removed when facing a hitter from the opposite side and NOT switch hitters or did I maybe make a mistake in how he is set up in the Management screen? He has faced two LH batters this season so far. Looking for the other one now. Update: Found the other one. He came in vs righty and they pinch hit for the batter. So that one is fine.

I wonder if it was because Sugahara was a pinch hitter? The diamond order may have checked against Marsh (RHB), but may not have re-checked for the PH. Keep an eye on it. Might be something not quite right with the diamond.
