@tabletopmania @RuthODay @YusufToropov @APBAreplay @cardboardkarl @AlexanderRaine7 @olliethewobbly Neat...what's the system? Strat?
Nolan@scooter @RuthODay @olliethewobbly @AlexanderRaine7 @cardboardkarl @APBAreplay @YusufToropov
It’s a 3 dice system my dad designed, loosely based off a couple other games. Not sure what. He passed in 2020 so I can’t ask him. I’ve made some further modifications to enhance the gameplay and accuracy.
@tabletopmania @RuthODay @olliethewobbly @AlexanderRaine7 @cardboardkarl @APBAreplay @YusufToropov Nicely done...a 3 die system reminds me of Pursue the Pennant, which I think was adopted to computer as Diamond Mind Baseball.
I'm in the process of writing up a new league #simulation that I'll probably play in OOTP, but it's so extensive at this point that I am waiting to get a larger gaming computer on which to run it. You can read about it at https://atlantic-computing.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=10803

Very cool. What year are you operating this simulation in? I’d love to follow it when you start.
I actually own the 1987 version of Pursue the Pennant. I’ve only played it a few times.

I saw an article discussing a fictitious game, All-Jewish team vs. All-Canadian team. The author gave the edge to Koufax.
Sure, for a single game it’s scary going against Koufax but over a 7-game series, I think that I’d rather have Jenkins.

He’s had a tough year on a bad team. Really has mostly underperformed given his rating.

I wonder if he aggravated his shoulder.
From sabr dot org:
Angels’ scouting report [on Messersmith] read, “He’s got three pitches – two of ’em you can’t hit and the other one you can’t even catch.”

We can claim Foxx, too; he's an Eastern Shore guy. Sudlersville. We could have Ripken, Teixeira (Annapolis)...we might be able to claim Vic Willis as our catcher. He's from Delaware, but not even a mile from our border, in Newark.

The Senators team has players born in DC, the Virginias and Maryland. I have guys on other teams too that are grouped more by territory.
