"So Joe Pitcher pitched 8 innings IRL and only gave up one run while
striking out 9 and walking 1. That's great. But if he was facing the
Nationals IRL, and facing a lineup of hot hitters in Scoresheet, he's
not necessarily going to get the same results."

"if Joe Pitcher performed in Scoresheet the same as he did against a
weak-hitting real-life team, wouldn't that just mean the sim was broken in the
other direction?"


You seem to be inferring that the quality of a pitcher's major league opposition
has something to do with how he will do in his Scoresheet game. I think people
should understand that this is not the case.

Joe Pitcher will pitch against an average Scoresheet team exactly as he did
against a weak-hitting real-life team.

It's totally irrelevant who Lincecum pitched his real life shutout against. He
could have pitched a shutout against a bunch of minor league call-ups in PETCO
Park or he could have pitched a shutout against the Phillies in Citizen Bank
Park. His Scoresheet performance will be the same in either circumstance.

The simulator is not even aware of who Lincecum faced in real life. The quality
of his major league opposition plays no role whatsoever in what he can be
expected to do in Scoresheet.

"He is equally likely to pitch a shutout against the toughest lineup in your
Scoresheet league", regardless of whom he shutout in real life.
