VIRTUAL BASEBALL: ASTROS CONTINUE ROLL; RANGERS OFF
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 opened up a 5-1/2 game lead over Oakland in the AL West, after beating the A’s, 5-3. Houston got homers from Springer (11), Correa (7) and Tucker (5). The same teams continue their four-game series, Tuesday.
The Rangers were off, Monday. They will host the World Champion Nationals, Tuesday.
Here is the box score…enjoy!
