The double switch is tricky. The most common time that you see it is when the pitcher is due up next inning, and there is a change during the half preceeding. They will bring in a new pitcher and say centerfielder. The centerfielder will go in to the lineup where the pitcher was, and the pitcher will go where the centerfielder was. Thus avoiding the pitcher having to bat. The key here is not the switch, but how it is done. The manager must inform you before he calls to the bullpen, at least in OBR.
