Opening day featured some great baseball. Whether you prefer Greg Maddux's 1-0 victory over Al Orth, or Barry Bonds' 3 HR and 5 RBI, or the incredible 5-run ninth by the Handbasket's, the most meaningful insight after 1 sim may not even team specific.
The AL East went 13-3 vs the AL West today, with Gold Country, Bertrand Island, DC, and Spanish Harlem all sweeping their foes. The owners of these four teams have the top-4 all time records in ATB history (granted for Gold Country that's just one season) and look to provide one of the best division races we've ever seen. They may pound each other into similar looking 85-win teams, but they may also be playing in the best division of ATB.
The real beauty of it all though? After Sim 2 it might look like a completely different story.
A centralized Diamond Mind Baseball league, using every full time player from 1871 'till today.
5 hits in one game from elsbury. Also...why in the world is the software letting Regan pitch 5 innings???
ReplyDeleteWow, and you got an 11 inning complete game 5-hitter from Whitey Ford.
ReplyDeleteOnly thought on Regan was that he was pitching well and has Ex durability, so can be extended.
A run in the top of the first, then 9 innings of scoreless baseball. What a great Opening Day!
ReplyDeleteYou know, since I won and all.
Uncle Robbie's sterling exhibition results seem to be a mirage. Welbert is already on the hot seat...
