Can we play pitch by pitch and swing by swing ?

Can we play pitch by pitch and swing by swing and control all the things a player or manager on the field would control ? Calling pitches, telling players to steal bases, telling batters to bunt or swing for the fences ? What is the deal here ? For me baseball is not all about the financial stuff but if it is in a baseball game it also better include the ability to manage each and every game like other sims such as APBA and Strat-O-Matic and more.

You can, except for calling pitches (and maybe swing for the fences, I don't recall). If it's just doing a whole at-bat for each click of the mouse, there should be a button in the bottom right (I think) that says something like "pitch-by-pitch mode" which does exactly what it says.

I may be a tad off on some of that. I haven't played out a game in a while.

Man someone must have a definite answer on all this as I know some people play the game here.

Yes you can play swing by swing and pitch by pitch. Or Entire at bat via each click of the mouse.

You cannot determine which pitches are thrown however.
