I will say this, I wish there was a way to specifically throw a waste pitch (or set up pitch, or show me pitch, or whatever you want to call it). I don't think this game has captured that aspect of pitching at all. Too often when you try to waste a pitch manually when you miss it will go out over the plate. It's not realistic.

If a pitcher in real life wants to waste a pitch it's a lot easier for him to hit the target because the target is bigger, thus more room for error, thus less error. And when a pitcher is trying to hit a target inside the zone it is a smaller target, thus less room for error, thus more error (relative to waste pitches).

It is true you will still see guys in real life miss waste pitches, but not to the extent you see in this game, nor to the result you see in this game (with pitches being left out over the plate). A distinction between the two types of pitches would help. It's this lack of distinction that I think maybe contributes to the feeling that there is comeback code.
