Is it just me or are RTTS slumps scripted?

It’s like, you can have a good eye, good discipline, hitting everything you see, until you start getting pitched around, getting nothing to hit, you get all the bad strike calls, hitting into line drives directly at outfielders when you do make contact.

Take a grid with 100 squares and put a ping pong ball numbered for each square in a bingo turner. After they're well mixed, pick 20 balls out of the turner. To guess what numbers would be picked, you might pick five numbers each from 1-25, 26-50, 51-75, and 76-100. That's not how it would work in actuality. There is a greater chance that you will have more or less than five in each quarter and you will have several runs of 3 or greater than 1 for every 5. You might not have any in 1-25 even though each ball has a 25% chance of coming out.
It's the same with baseball. Joey Gallo is probably the streakiest hitter in baseball. He could go up to bat 100 times and strike out 75 times, hit 0 home runs, 15 singles, 3 doubles, and the rest are grounders and fly balls. Or he will hit 15 home runs, 15 doubles, 24 singles, 16 grounders and fly balls, and 30 strike outs. One's below .200 and the other is POTM numbers.
I actually think this game does a fairly good job portraying that. It frustrates the heck out of me sometimes, but for every series I hit .200 there will be a series I hit .600 taking me to where I should be around .400. It's not a flip of the coin, but more like a roll of a D&D die and we often roll more 3s than 18s at times.
That was a fun thought process. Good question.

I got so frustrated after being called up to the Majors in August and immediately slumping the rest of the season. I actually walked the difficulty all the way back to Beginner...and he still can't hit!!! Everything, even if it is in the middle of the reticle and good timing, hits right to another player. This, in my opinion, is game breaking. There isn't even a slider to adjust this. There is no way, in beginner where they only pitch the top 2 pitches all in the strike zone, why I shouldn't be able to hit homeruns or at least base hits EVERY time I am at bat on Beginner. If I was an actual beginner, I would stop playing immediately. I usually play on All-Star because it's the perfect blend of difficulty with success rate without slumping going 0-for-5 for 5 games in a row. And still, on Beginner, I haven't had much better success.
