Except that pitchers don't really give up hits. They walk batters, they strike batters out, they give up long drives by throwing the ball down the middle of the plate... and that's about it. Pitchers have very little control over how many hits they give up on balls in play in real life, which is accurately modeled in OOTP. Ironically, it's *not* accurately modeled in DMB, which creates situations like these where people ignorant of OOTP think that Moose Haas (or Jeff Ballard or Dave Fleming... or heck, maybe even Chien-Ming Wang) is simmed poorly when in fact it's DMB that's simming poorly.
