My pitching staff is underperforming, do I need to fire my pitching coach?

Yes, I don't have a game open at the moment, but it's contained within the screen settings options for game play. For example, in addition to the game "buttons" for pitching and hitting, I normally have the line score, lineups for each team, batter and pitcher widgets with game stats, and the pitch widget. On a small screen, it does get crowded.

I find the pitch widget to be fascinating. I don't play pitch-by-pitch, but the widget does list each pitch, showing location, speed, type of pitch. It seems to correspond to the pitcher's stuff, so that if he has a fastball, curve, sinker, change, they will appear. And if he has a low-rated curve, for example, he won't always throw it for a strike, and it will get hit hard.

My thought for the OP here was that the widget can be helpful in determining when your SP needs to be pulled. For me, it's a combination of pitch count, recent performance, and of course if I have a RP ready to bring into the game.

The only one I didn't have loaded was the pitch widget ... figured it out, thanks! Edit: I definitely need a bigger / higher res screen lol
