ASTROS DROP RANGERS IN VIRTUAL MLB PLAY
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 and Ranger squared off Tuesday, with Houston holding off a late Texas rally for a 5-3 win. Alex Bregman and Martin Moldanado each drove in two runs for the Astros, while Todd Frazier and Robinson Chrinos provided ninth-inning homers for the Rangers.
The Astros and the Rangers meet again, Wednesday.
Here is the box score…enjoy!
