I've often thought of that but, to me, it would take me out of the suspension of disbelief mode.
I used to sit -- and still OCCASIONALLY do -- with the box scores and where a good pitcher was getting shelled, I would analyze how much of it was 456 and how much was 123. If the rolls were hitting the batters' cards, not much could be done. But if they hit my pitchers' cards -- well, it may just be a crabpy card.
I stopped because I like to look at Strat as a "gestalt," and to break apart too much of the RESULT for me would take fun out of it.
That said, I think that stat [i:e72df3b005]would[/i:e72df3b005] be good addition to the TSN game. It WOULD, overall, give you an idea whether your streak of bad (or good) luck is the red dice, or whether it's just a bad card for you in that slot.
