Happens in stretches. Funny I usually only notice when it goes against me, and ignore the other ones because of course I am an infallible manager and the results make sense when in my favor!

But, that's the essence of a small sample on a binomial distribution.

Here's to your eventual regression to the mean, which I am sure already occurred :)

Hey that was my line ;)

So you edited your post to say "the last 15 rolls were ALL for the pitcher".
Do you mean 15 consecutive rolls across both teams?
Or just against your team while hitting?

Even more frustrating is when you get 7 rolls on the pitcher's card.

Then Frankie Crosetti and the pitcher's spot come up and you roll 1-5's.

Ah ok--that's worse for you, but probably not as unlikely statistically as 15 in a row without interruption as I see it. Taking it out of SOM world, I think it is like the difference between:

A-flipping 3 heads on 3 tries every odd day for five days, while flipping both heads/tails on 3 tries on the even days in between.
versus
B-sitting down and flipping 15 heads in a row, one after another in one sitting.
It's nuance and framing of the problem, but Ito me it makes a difference for why I asked.

Why I asked: It was not to badger you! As you may or may not know,there is some black-box-ism inside the online version of the game that is different from the straight PC game (like bullpen AI). Many chains of table lookups or other "outcome paths" to results are not available to us. Some effects are gameplay choices available in the straight PC version, but some effects are via add-ons/scripts unique to the online version. For example, pitcher fatigue switching card lookups to hitter cards, bullpen AI etc. example: https://stratomatic365.fandom.com/wiki/Super-Advanced_Point_of_Weakness

So, I am always interested in statistical anomalies that have unlikely explanations based on random outcomes, as a game player, since the game is statistically based, but by no means pure chance that we can calculate exactly due to what's under the hood. My take isn't the only way to look at this but it works for me. And usually it isn't a single anecdote that reveals anything, but you never know.

Hopefully didn't sound like I was badgering you, as you didn't imply there was something wrong, just that it was ridiculously bad luck. I was curious. Wishing you better rolls on the wholes...

A 3 game series where your opponent fails to score a run? I think that's more rare than 15 pitcher's rolls in a row.
