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.

The Daisy Hill Blockheads edged the Its Now Or Never in 10 innings at Dunn Field '20 by the score of 6 to 5.

The score was knotted at 5 after nine innings. Daisy Hill won the hard fought contest in the 10th inning. Lefty O'Doul drew a walk. Nellie Fox stepped into the batter's box and he laid down a sacrifice bunt. Mel Ott then drew a walk to load the bases. Sammy White followed and he slapped a one-base hit giving Daisy Hill the win and sending the home town fans into a frenzy. Daisy Hill won despite being out-hit by Its Now Or 12 hits to 7.

Bill Sherdel(1-0) went 1 and 2/3 innings allowing no runs for the win. Ed Walsh(0-1) was the losing pitcher. He gave up 6 runs and 7 hits in 9 innings.
