While I am extremely doubtful about a programming function that tries to level out 'bad pitchers' vs your team, I'd be lying if I said I never thought it. Especially in games I play out. I also try to keep in mind pitcher's who I've seen throw no or low hit games in reality the last few years who I would have trouble rating as "high quality".
I think, like so so many occurrences in this game, we are fooled by noise in what is after all statistically a thimbleful of events (I think you would agree as a statistician?) but might be happening because this is after all a programmed game.
No other game has convinced me to be less amenable to the suggestion of small data bias, and yet no other game has made me think it so much when I'm emotionally invested in success.
