Enough Pitching?

At 80M, how much pitching is needed? Do I need to upgrade my pen or should I just rely on my starting staff to throw complete games?

Not if HAL has anything to say about it!

And HAL always has something to say about it! I've been trying for months to get such one-sided relievers like Bair and Campbell to be used as intended, but have rarely succeeded. They may not help you much, and your starters are likely to get bombed if you set them on low F ratings. And Lee Smith is not suited to be a super reliever. You might want to scrounge uo the cash to get one more durable reliever,

Griffith Stadium '41 is a great place...I've gotten thrown out of there enough to prove it! Put your starters on F0 and don't waist money on a super reliever. I'd dump Rollins and Seivers playing in Griffith '41, seems to be a waste of HR power and upgrade the starters a little. In contrast to this, keep I-Rod and his 35 dingers. I just like him, he's durable and a great arm. Dump the injury risks too..

With your park four decent starters should get a lot of complete games. But I would never use the F0 setting personally. You can actually get some effective relievers for that park quite cheaply, Richert being one example. Rollins should simply not be used in ATG, he is way overpriced and a poor fit for your park in any event. I strongly recommend a Jamieson platoon in lf with either Shano Collins or Clines at this cap. At 80 M you need to budget your money and not waste any on less than top value players.
