2 pitchers, same innings, same hits and walks, but the runs allowed might be vastly different.
Seems one of the tjhings that makes a good pitcher, who winds up with a low ERA, is how they pitch with men on base...and that is a very hard thing to try and place into a computer simulation.

I need to use default ratings... that way the players perform as they are supposed to in general.
Thanks for taking the time to share your knowledge with me.
Much appreciate it.
