Computer Simulation / Fantasy Insider / Guru's Board Game
Play the Guru's FREE Online Baseball
Game! How cool is that? (Requires Microsoft Excel ). This
is the foundation for the full computer game, but it does not keep track
of game situations. If you want to play a whole game, you could keep track
on the side.
The Dream Matchups Game: Choose
a pitcher and a batter to face each other. You can click on "Show Batting
Record" if you'd like to see all of the batter's data to help you make your
choices. Then, you can pick where you'd like to see the matchup take
place such as Ebbets Field (default because Ebbets Field makes no impact
on batters), The Astrodome (pitcher friendly), Coors Field (batter friendly)
or even one of the imaginary parks in either Death Vallley, CA or Tibet,
S. Asia.. You can also decide whether or not you'd like to consider lefty/righty
adjustments in the matchups. Click on the picture of the pitcher to
begin the simulation.
The Home Run Derby Game: It's like
the Dream Matchups Game except that the batter can only get home runs or
outs. You select "Home Run Derby" as your pitcher and instead of a
major league pitcher throwing the pitches it's a batting practice pitcher
or coach.
Batters Encyclopedia: By clicking
on "Show Batting Record" you can view the stats for any batter. Click on
"Reset" to clear.
How It Works: All of the pitchers
were scored by their likelihood to allow a HR, 3B, 2B, 1B, BB, K, or other
OUT relative to the league and era in which the season occured. Then,
these weights were applied to a batter's likelihood to do the same.
Weights for park factor and optional lefty/righty adjustments were
applied as well. And, viola! An exiciting interaction becomes
a live reality.
