Ramone said they take off 2 for 3-2 counts so you're right about that. What you mentioned before with Carpenter's at bat is a bit weird as well. The pitch count should be 3 pitches based on what Ramone said, but its likely just a quirk with how they do the subtraction is what I meant. If the PC is 0, nothing to subtract from I guess. Or maybe they just don't do it on the first AB.

OK, so I get the idea of the altered PC in QC, but why is this important?

If a pitcher has 2 3-2 counts, why shouldnt he have 10 pitches or 12 for the 2 in play?
Why is it important not to fatigue him if he couldnt get the 0-1 out?

Or is it because QC takes away that opportunity and rather than penalize the Pitcher, you slide him a -1 pitch?

It's a concession to allowing QC's and no 0-0 counts....as you stated at the end.
Basically...you were penalizing the pitchers and mounting fatigue.

I guess it's gotta be give and take.

so 11 after the Peralta K and Holliday at 3-2 makes 16 pitches and minus 2 equals 14 yet it shows 15?????

I think it's a realistic solution. Look at it this way. Most MLB at bats average about 3 pitches, but if every batter went up with a 1-1 count you would lose the ability to play a game in 30 minutes. So, by reducing the "pitch count" by 1-2 pitches per at bat for fatigue purposes, you accomplish the same goal. Realistic overall pitch counts and faster game play. Kudos once again to SCEA!

I will be taking it at face value by just looking at the OSD to see where I am at and moving on. It is not as important in this mode.

Exactly, that is what is going on. It doesn't line up with what Ramone said though.
