Markus has said that some players are coded to do especially well or badly against some other players. Someone (Waninski, I think) wrote in about a lifetime below average hitter who always seemed to do well against one particular pitcher, asking whether it was a fluke or intentional coding. After several of us posted back about how small sample size can skew the numbers and make it LOOK like a batter 'owns' a pitcher (or vice versa), Markus chimed in to tell us that it was actually coded into the game.
