The Rangers lost the wild card game to the Orioles. Doh!

Trust in your mechanics, stay inside yourself, and go the other way.

I don’t own the game, but they had a good reputation in the past, and if they’re still good, I’d like to see a simulated season with their software. Not because any projection human or computer seems to get most of it right, but still curious. Here’s the 2012 season projected (and obviously we know the actual results):

I have Sr. Cruz as my bench MI. We also-truly-have a brawl result if two guys are hit in the same game, there is a non-trivial possibility of a brawl with further possibility of injuries. Next year I’m going to porpose a modification to the rule, with bruisers like Jonny Gomes acting as protection, and guys like Luis Cruz acting as instigators (ie, increasing the probability of a brawl result.). Fascinating. The two SABR members in the league can do the math for the proper modifications.

But in all seriousness, computers are currently incapable of feeling love. If you can whip up an algorithm that will teach them how to do so, I’m sure these folks will be sure to have the Rangers be the computer’s first love interest for you.
