This is a very interesting thread, I'm new to the game and have similar questions to you about best strategies for managing plays during a game.
I do each game in one pitch mode rather than pitch by pitch because I am still getting a feel for my players, but I don't have enough time for pitch by pitch. I found that by auto playing a half innings or a whole game I was learning nothing about my team.
I won't give you my rules I've developed because they're probably wrong, however I wonder with your leads turning to losses: are you pulling your pitchers if they are getting shelled? You do get a feeling for when his effectiveness is dropping - longer hits, better placed - and it's time to pull him. And, are you warming up your relief pitchers in the bullpen before sending them out?
I also wonder if having some fun for a while with a MLB team would raise your spirits.
