As awful as this pandemic has been sports wise, this does provide a bright couple of minutes each day. As I said earlier, these simulations feel extremely real. Probably a few of the neurons that fire watching a baseball game are in action when I read these. Thanks again Tony.
Thanks Tony.
It's honestly funny how realistic these games feel. Like, I could definitely see the Orioles season playing out in just this manner, down to the back and forth of an April extra innings loss in the Bronx (complete with the anger of staying up late on a worknight to watch).
Tony, question: Do you set the lineups and make the roster moves, or does the simulation do that on its own? Sorry if you've already addressed this in another thread, but I'm just curious.
Thanks.
Last night MASN re-aired the Wilkerson save game in Anaheim. Maybe it's the lack of sports, but I watched a few innings and genuinely enjoyed it. Santander looked good, Wilkerson had a nice RBI triple, Mancini crushed an oppo field homer some 420 feet. Was a fun activity on a depressing no sports night.
The Orioles made a few small transactions today, optioning Ryan Mountcastle, Cedric Mullins, David Hess, and Ramon Urias. No huge surprises, though I guess this means Velazquez, Williams, or someone else will be carried to back up CF.
Great idea for a thread.
