Pitch counts on broadcast screen

[tward13]

Not just when he's pitching but when my team is batting. I'm playing NL ball and use the warm up option.

I'd like to know without a couple more clicks if I should get a guy up and pinch hit if I get to the pitcher's spot.

Also would be nice to have a bullpen tab so I could go right to the pen with just my relievers listed to see the status of guys warming or decide to get a guy up.

Finally. If I have a pitcher in the pen and my time AB runs long, he shouldn't get tired. Real baseball, you look out there and the pitcher is watching, not throwing hard. They know how to pace themselves.

Yes, I remember there being some rumblings about this unrealistic facet of the game in 16, too.

Can't we drop this or at least make "stupid bullpen coach" optional?

I also use the warm up rule. A bullpen tab would be great. I will watch when I have a long at bat, I have "sat down" my pitchers on many occasions and warmed them up again at 2 outs. A lot of unnecessary micro managing.

Totally agree. The pitch count should be visible in the broadcast screen.
