I sure hope that's not the case, because that would be yet another presentation compromise to supposedly force players to "speed up the game." I'm really hoping the "cutting" of batter/pitcher routines was a result of some poorly designed ideas by the developers, and can be fixed in a future patch. There is no reason they should cut these things out just to force players to speed up the game. If we want to speed up the game, we can choose "hurry up" in the options menu, or simply press a button during game play to manually speed the game up.
