So it is my understanding that as a player I can only assume what is under the hood and how the game system decides what happens in each at bat.

The outcome is established with the first pitch (ie, a walk on a 3-1 count, a HR on a 1-2 count, an error by the shortstop on an 0-1 count, etc)

I'm trying to wrap my head around 2 of my pitchers walking 10 batters with 0 k's while their starter has struck out 9 with 0 BB's. Is it not the same umpiring. All in the first 5 innings. Oh, Wander Franco just hit his 3rd Slam in 2 days. I know this **** happens about once every 10 seasons or so in real life, but I just watched the Braves Austin Riley hit 5 HR's in 8 at bats in the last 2 games of my last series with Atlanta.

Over the course of a season is this unusual?
