thanks for the reply. I'm not looking to whine about the game, genuinely asking for advice here. yes I have a few pet peeves, but they were prevalent in the prior version I played before such as base running and throwing the ball in from the outfield and not preventing the hitter from reaching scoring position instead opting to throw it home.

on the topic of pitch count, the way I typically play is when I am at bat, I opt to 'swing away'

when I am pitching I opt to SIM the half inning. I take control and pitch to batter when the bullpen will take over and it looks volatile.

would my pitch count not get so bloated if I opt to 'pitch to batter' juxtaposed to SIM the half inning. there are times when my pitcher seems so be cruising along with only a couple hits or walks allowed and the pitch count is almost 100 entering the 6th and he's crying he's fatigued.
