Yeah, *that* stuff is I'm sure randomized. Hot streaks and slumps exist but outside of strikeouts a slump can look like a lot of loud outs or a lot of weak grounders. I still maintain that what I mentioned - fielding plays - isn't exactly what Alex meant, although at the same time there are surely some "failed chance" (I bet especially for Remote chances) that look exactly like line drives and such.
