like 'they' said or someone said about them, they will hand it off to people to do some number-crunching and do a far better job than someone in their pj's on sunday morning (us) messing around with some spreadsheets and likely much more limited data in comparison.  |
Well said. I'm not sitting here thinking that we've proven anything, beyond that there's something that merits OOTPD taking a second look at whether the appropriate G/F outcomes are being generated in a Modern MLB environment. There could be various league-specific settings or talent distributions mucking things up, not the internal game mechanics, but we're not really in a position to evaluate that thoroughly from the outside.
