VIRTUAL MLB 2020: STROS GO EXTRAS TO DOWN RAYS
In an attempt to fill the void left by the absence of Major League Baseball, the long-time baseball board/computer game, Strat-o-Matic is playing the 2020 season, virtually.
Strat-o-Matic is using their computer technology to recreate all of the scheduled 2020 games.
As a light-hearted attempt to fill the absence of live-action baseball, KWHI will post the daily results of the computer-generated games involving the Houston Astros and Texas Rangers.
While it, in no way, can replace actual baseball, we hope it will act as a tongue-in-cheek substitute until real baseball returns.
Monday, the Astros scored two in the bottom of the 12th to edge the Rays, 3-2. Five Astros pitchers held the Rays’ bats in check for most of the game. The game ended on Aledmys Diaz’s 2-run double.
The Rangers, meanwhile, had a day off.
Here is the box score…enjoy!

‘Diaz’ Astros are gonna give this Dude a heart attack. Staring down the barrel of a Golden Sombrero, Aledmys comes up clutch for the shorthanded ‘Stros in extras! Love to see former UH Cougar Austin Pruitt continue to pitch so well-especially against his old team.
