I don't know, man... I see weird stuff like this occasionally, but just because weird stuff happens, doesn't mean that it's intentional.
I don't disagree totally with anything you said. It's just the fact there are a whole lot of ppl that believe this game just randomly gives wins/losses to create a parity situation which further engages customers.
And, my pet peeve, you have the marketing staff (gatekeepers, fanboys, or whatever) that try to convince the naive that it's all about practice and this tip and that pointer. I'm sure most understand it's all about what success/failure the AI predisposes. But doesn't prevent the SDS vested gamers to proclaim otherwise.
I've read so-so many testimonies to bizarre game play resulting in losses. PPl just wanting to vent some very odd game behavior that cost them a loss after investing too much of their time getting to the 9th inning. Most ppl just quit after some funkiness, but for those that do drop 1/2 hour or so of their time completing a game they get an AI'd manipulation loss it's about as frustrating as anything in a video game this side of 1st gen Super Mario Bros where you had to start over at level 1 after you died.
I'm not going to regurgitate because it's just an inherent, and often not very subtle, part of the game. And there are infinite accounts. This was just one attempt, perhaps feeble and completely explainable, to shine a light on the inconsistent play in the game that is intentionally coded to ensure parity.
Not to mention, ya gotta admit you'll NEVER-EVER see SDS marketing the game in their big pre-season hype and sprint to production using THIS VIDEO CLIP.

Are we sure Meter pitching isn’t just broken?
I’ve been using Meter…and it’s felt broken all year. I have pitches I barely miss the meter on that go 5 feet out of the zone.
Then I have pitches where I miss the meter by a lot…that are only a few inches off.
I’ve had inputs that show Perfect on my screen…and then register as Very Early on the feedback.
I only use meter so I don't have a great point of reference.
I do find it peculiar, you can see that in the video as well, that when the animation shows my accuracy nearly dead on the line I'm getting "early" feedback and then the ball ends up 2-3 feet from where I setup. As close as I landed the accuracy with a pitcher with pretty good control..I shouldn't have missed my target by more than 6-12 inches. Well, that's typically what happens anyway. It's a crapshoot. Don't even know why I keep bringing up what most know anyway. Guess it's therapeutic...Ha.
I agree. Meter is either broken or I’m starting to believe more of what you post.
Played a game today against a guy who couldn’t touch 98% of my pitches. But miraculously hit 3 pitches I got “Perfect” releases on that mysteriously went right down the middle.
Pitches aimed at the black or outside the zone…and all with “Perfect” releases….and all went in the middle of the zone.
Sure was odd.
Also odd is that when using Meter…I often just BARELY MISS on a release…and the pitch goes 5 feet from where it was supposed to go. Often for a pitch that the player doesn’t even have to look at…it’s an OBVIOUS ball as soon as it leaves my pitchers hand.
But then when I miss a release badly…the pitch only misses by a little bit. I have to miss a release in the red for it to miss by a ton.
It’s been this way since launch…and it happens multiple times a game for me. Online and off.

Well, if it's broke ya know the Developers know it as well. They introduced Pinpoint a few years back. I played with it somewhat, but you always go back to what is familiar.
I would be all for the company just pulling Meter if it's inferior. I mean, just make the official statement that for whatever reason metered mode has glitches we cannot overcome whereby we spent tons of development hours coming up with pinpoint which does address the shortcomings of other pitching modes.
I mean, just having ppl out here say pinpoint is better doesn't really inspire confidence they are correct. Just like my claims..take them or leave them.
Why can't the company just say "hey customers, metered pitching has got a ton of flaws. You will not be as competitive using this mode. Switch to Pinpoint". I would surely take their official suggestion and make myself proficient with Pinpoint.
