Strat-O-Matic 365

Both 2020 season sets coming to 365

Late last year, Strat-O-Matic announced that we will be producing two distinct card sets for the 2020 MLB season - a Traditional set based on the actual results of the 2020 60-game season, and an Imagined set based on a combination of the actual results and projections, as our simulation of what a full 162-game season would have looked like. Both sets will be available for play in Strat-O-Matic Baseball 365!

Important note: All starting pitchers will need at least 4 days of rest between starts in Strat-O-Matic 365 leagues using modern single-season player sets, beginning with the 2020 season. Some pitchers will continue to receive 4-day starter asterisks from Strat-O-Matic, but they will be meaningless in the context of Strat-O-Matic 365 (exception: if these pitchers appear in ATG). This rule was initially designed to make today's pitchers compatible with older eras of baseball, but it does not make sense for self-contained modern seasons. The playoff schedule will be updated to include more rest days as a result of this change.

In a dramatic ending, the Why 2k staged a comeback win over the Twin Butte Derriers BS4 by the count of 5 to 4.

Why won the game with a rally in the bottom of the 9th inning scoring 2 runs utilizing 3 base hits. Ed Delahanty led off and he lined a one-base hit. Cristobal Torriente came next and he tripled driving in a run. Honus Wagner dug into the batters box next, but he struck out. Billy Hamilton was up next and he was hit by a pitch. One out later, Ty Cobb stepped in and he hit a single resulting in a mighty exciting win for Why and the 48,366 home town fans in attendance. Why banged out 8 hits on the afternoon.

Grant Balfour(3-1) was the winner allowing no runs in 2/3 of an inning. Fernando Rodney(3-4) suffered the loss in relief. 'We just wouldn't give up,' Torriente said. 'Much of the credit goes to our fans - they were with us the whole way.'
