Predetermined losses?

But it does make you wonder how you program a video game to replicate that reality. How would you code the "That's baseball" variability?

It's just random chance, which can appear to be "streaky." Flip a coin a hundred times and you'll see long runs of the same result, naturally. You just played a game where you had a string of bad luck, and your opponent, who may not have been very good, got lucky a few times.

Also, and no offense to anyone because I think we all do it, but we're much more likely to interpret our good luck to skill (15 hits in a game is obviously due to my own greatness) whereas we see our bad luck as something far more nefarious (the game had predetermined that I should lose).

Well stated
