I never personally mess with the pitching phase other than subbing out but a game where it's 0-0 and the 9th and my closer does his job for me to manually score 8 (for instance) was a "shouting to the screen" moment. I think if you just autoplay all the games and spend all your time buying and selling and fiddling with lineups then you are missing out on half the joy that OOTP can provide.
p.s. that missed night of sleep is now 2 for 2.

You certainly are learning the game. Regarding when to "hook" pitchers, playing out the games is always the foolproof way of avoiding disagreements with your AI "manager" in this regard but another way you can influence matters without micromanaging is to use the slider buttons in Team Strategy. You can find that in your Team Menu - take a look and you will see what I mean.
Try to get some rest!
