I'm not bothered by the idea of pitchers getting good, bad, or meh days. I think that's how it should work. You often hear pitchers saying they just didn't have their good stuff that day or they did.

What I wonder is, is the % pretty much the same for each pitcher, as you seem to be implying, or is it different. And I'm not sure we should assume it should be different. I mean sure, at first thought one would think better pitchers should have more good days than bad pitchers. But what if what it really is is when good pitchers have bad days they're not as bad as bad pitchers' bad days and when good pitchers have good days they have better days than bad pitchers, RA9 and IP-wise.

I'd be curious to see an analysis of this with real life pitchers.
