Simply don't forget to look at your pitch count before the 1/2 inning ends.
i do it too, but i don't blame the UI for my lapse of attention.
form better habits and it's 100% avoidable. ie a self-inflicted problem. this rationalization could be used for anythign you forgot to take note of from previous 1/2 inning -- batting or pitching etc. the screen generally needs less stuff, not more clutter.
an alternative to a specific suggestion:
ask them to open up the ui-files for us to customize. it's just XML stuff -- any markup language is a joke to learn.
users could make their own - any shape / transparency / font size or even font type etc etc etc. make it all moveable and adjustable and you can do anything you want with it. then, share it all on the mods forum.
a simple list of variables used and that's all they'd need. i'm sue there's plenty in this user base taht would love to work with this stuff and make it their own.
this is very common for a ton of online games. it doesn't provide a wy to abuse anything. merely about asthetics.
personally i'd prefer a transparent HUD and a more zoomed in field. ~30rows of spectators isn't needed to be seen. that's only maximiazed in such large portions to provide a space for the current display which is huge, cumbersome and blocks large portions of the screen already... it's analagous to those senior-citizen phones with huge buttons in its current state.
