A season! A real season! Given everything going on, it doesn’t feel like a complete victory to have baseball back, but it does give something to look forward to. Also, with real baseball coming back, I’m going to end these simulations next week at game 81. It just seems fitting.
If you missed the explainer of this little project, you can find it here and last week’s results here. To give the Sparknotes: I will be randomizing every Reds game by picking a historical box score and subbing in the current Reds. As you might guess, these randomizations are not meant to be realistic, unlike Tom Mitsoff’s Strat-o-Matic simulation exercise.
