In a particularly particular order:
1) Support your statement that newsworthy stories in real baseball of the type that could be covered in a storyline thread are not mostly negative(dots)as the prevailing notion is the opposite, the burden of proof is on you(dots)
2) Support your statement that the punitive results are unbalanced(dots)what does that mean?
3) Do you understand the statistical implications of randomness?(dots)in a typical OOTP season there are probably in the neighborhood of a quarter million events influenced by random die rolls(dots)adding a handful more would not fall under the statistically significant umbrella(dots)
4) This is just a rewording of the first question, so see number one for the answer(dots)
