2020 VIRTUAL BASEBALL: ASTROS/RANGERS LOSE
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.
The Astros fell for the second-straight day to Tampa Bay, 5-3—despite home runs from Yordan Alvarez (8) and Alex Bregman (4). The same two teams close out their four-game series, Thursday.
The Rangers continued their slide, falling to the Phillies, 6-1. Texas, who is off Thursday, has dropped 8 of their last 10 games.
Here are the box scores…enjoy!
