the PH box is definitely worth paying attention to. if you have a pitcher who is a very good hitter you can leave the PH box unchecked. also if you want one of your starters to always go as deep into the game as possible, it's a good idea to uncheck the PH box so they don't get pinch hit for in the sixth or seventh inning when they're at 70 pitches.

the PR box is pretty much irrelevant for pitchers, it's very rare for it to happen, because if a pitcher is hitting for himself it's usually because he's going to go back to the mound the next inning.

I uncheck the PH and PR boxes for all my SP and any reliever who is set to throw 20+ pitches per appearance. I keep tight control over my pitch counts and I don't want guys getting pulled early.

I would only allow pitchers to be PH or PR in themes where I have plenty of IP and want the extra boost from getting better hitters more PA through pinch hits.

Thanks I needed some insight as I indeed kept seeing Box Scores where the SP was rep!aced only to have the RP lose the game ... I would always be thinking in retrospect ... Wanted a consensus opinion
