	Yup.  The same sort of pitches as HB I.  But the pitches are much
harder to distinguish, i.e. they look more real than in HB I.  Do you still
remember that funky screwball that moved ten feet sideways?  It doesn't move

	Yes.  It's optional, though.  You can make the computer control
fielding for you.

	Yes.
