I don't know the answer to your question, but I do know that if the game reflected reality then yes, ratings would fluctuate. Particularly with starting pitchers who only play once every 5 days, their ability to control and throw each pitch varies greatly from outing to outing.

However, given the wedding by OOTP to DIPS and other saber stuff where humans are nothing other than random number generators, I would guess the answer is no. Ratings may fluctuate from season to season but not from start to start. If I had to bet that's what I'd bet on.

Would be great if I'm wrong. Again.
