The first line inside the loop sets a random baseline shift. Following the formula, it seems this sets either 0 or 1, nothing else. In your case, you want −1 to +1 and all values in between. So try this line instead:

app.selection[0].characters[i].baselineShift = 2*Math.random()-1;

The real question everyone will want an answer to … What is a “crawl”? :)
