I have some experience in the industry. It may be different in some places though.

Nats batted the pitcher in bottom of the 5th. Then replaced him in the top of the 6th.

It seems like David Wrght has missed more time than he has. 30 something games each of the last two years, and 100+ every year since his rookie season. Very surprised hes never missed a full year.

Sending up Stephen Matz to pinch hit with the bases loaded in the 4th.

When there is a defensive shift against a lefty, shouldn't the 3rd baseman be the one to move behind 2nd and the SS cover the whole left side of the field? This has probably been brought up a bunch, but do any teams do it like this?

Many (most?) teams do it that way. The red sox just did it a few minutes ago, moving Pablo across the diamond and keeping Bogaerts in place.

Ok, I guess I don't pay attention enough to games other than the Astros. The Astros, who are always at the top of list in shifts, don't do it that way. Which is ******ed having Marwin Gonzalez covering the whole gap while Correa is just chilling plopped behind 2nd.

Some teams, I know the Dbacks are one, will move players around depending on the count. Lamb may be playing in the 2b spot with the 2b in shallow right, then after a strike is thrown, or some change in the count, he'll move back to the left side and the SS will move over to the right side.

Disclaimer: I don't recall who moves where, and when, but they do a lot of moving players around as the count changes.
