But it's not irrelevant for real-life purposes. How well a pitcher
fares in Scoresheet is going to be based on:
1. His pitching results that week (raw results, not adjusted for
caliber of opposition, run environment, etc.)
2. The batting results of his SS opposition that week.
True, the sim doesn't discount his pitching results in any way based
on who he faced. I didn't say it does. The point is simply that --
in real-world terms -- it will be easier for him to rack up good
pitching results to feed into SS if he's facing a weak offense in real
life that week.

I agree. I also think people tend to forget that performance in the sim isn't just based on what your guy did in real life... it's also based on what the guys...

Well, the Nationals' offense isn't actually that bad, so your examle isn't the best. But the sim does NOT compensate for quality of competition or for the...

From Carl (origianl poster) I think my original post got lost in the various translations. Derek and otehrs have made some very astute observations though. ...
Couple of points... The order you list your starters determines who gets any extra starts. So #1 will get the extra start if he has extra start available. If...
No no. Some of this is very wrong. The sim does not match bad pitching with good opponents. It is randomish with adjustment for prefer-to-face and not...
Ok, then why, unless the prefer to face option is used, would the order of appearance for starters in a given week not follow the order they are listed? Of...
Thank you for addressing this .. this is one of the unknowns I have always wondered about in Scoresheet. I get that one pitcher can't start agaisnt the same...

Carl, you confused a couple of issues. Steve was saying he's sure about his #1 guy getting two starts. Ken was saying the SP is more likely to be assigned to...

Carryover stats should NOT have affected Paulino's crappy appearance for you; it appears to be a case, as best I can tell, of the fact that some randomness...
