ASTROS/RANGERS FALL IN VIRTUAL MLB ACTION
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 to Minnesota, 7-1. Houston managed just one run on four hits off Twins’ starter Jake Odorizzi. The Astros are off Thursday.
Seattle’s Austin Nola ripped a walk-off two-run homer as the Rangers fell, 5-3 in 10 innings. The Rangers take a day off before visiting the Astros over the weekend.
Here are the box scores…enjoy!
