Does OOTP model it to some form. Yes it seems incredibly likey that is the truth. OOTP seems to do a decent job modeling pitching fatigue and when to pull starters in that sense.
The disagreement seems to be that some people seem to think that TTOP is a law of pitching management and we should have more information pertaining to it to make decisions. Whereas more information is good and being able to break down stats based on time through the order would be great. TTOP is just not an underlying law of pitching management. Its one factor in many for that has more value with certain types of pitchers. It is no more so than managing fatigue, rest, spot in the order and hot vs cold games.
Now I agree lets put an end to this nonsense. If you think I'm dumb for letting my ace go over 3 times through i think its a bad move just to pull a good pitcher because hes magically over batter 18.To each his own. That is why baseball is great. Numbers can give us insight and change how the game is played but theyre never fully complete the picture. It is a human game after all.
