VIRTUAL MLB: ASTROS ROLL/RANGERS COLLAPSE
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.
Astros pitchers held the Mets to just three hits in a 5-1 Houston win. Austin Pruitt (3-2) picked up the win, while Alex Bregman (16) and Michael Brantley (5) each homered. The Astros and Mets meet again, Wednesday.
The Angels erupted for nine runs in the top of the ninth as they downed the Rangers, 16-8. Los Angeles teed off on relievers Jose LeClerc and Luis Garcia for nine runs in just two-thirds of an inning. The same two teams meet Wednesday.
Here are the box scores…enjoy!
