Well, I don't think there is a "revelation" yet. I agree with the fact that we shouldn't have "hot" or "cold" streaks affect stats. In other words, Because I went 4-10 doesn't make me more likely to get a hit in the next AB than if I went 0-10.
I THINK that the game-to-game, rather than AB-to-AB or pitch-to-pitch issue is slightly different. I would assume that OOTP has some other factors that make a pitcher more hittable on one day than another. Otherwise, this WOULD be a huge find.
A Pedro Martinez type would simply be used for X pitches every start. Once he's tired, he'll get worse. But until then, regardless of whether he's given up 15 ERs or has a perfect game, you would know his chances for a strong performance in the next inning would be the same in either case.
Whenever I delve into OOTP logic, it really turns me off to the game... I prefer the don't think, don't tell approach where I can pretend this game does take into account little nuances like these.
