If something like this WAS clearly defined, it would be detrimental to the game because it would take one more stop toward us viewing it as a collection of algorithms and one step away from us seeing it as an almost organic, abstract reflection of real baseball - which is what makes it fun to most of us, unless someone out there likes doing calculus in their spare time.

Although I'm a newbie to the game, I would like to think my solo league team, the New Orleans Crescents won one for the "gipper" (sorry for the football quote) when they came back and won a close game in the bottom of the 10th after I was thrown out in the 7th for arguing a close call at first. Did it boost my players ... it is more fun to think so.
By the way, the league (Texas League) that I'm using was put together by Malleus Dei and it is a very good league except for all the 5"0 players (must be a "Yoda" thing).
