PureSim Predicts the 2007 playoffs: BOS vs. ANA

[Shaun Sullivan]

OK, I spent the weekend importing the latest MLB stats into PureSim and have full 2007 stats (less today's game) imported.

So, I figured I'd use sandbox mode to pit BOS and ANA against eachother for 162 games. I set it to 4-man rotations and let the AI do everything.

The Red Sox won the 162 game series 92-70! I like our chances :)

Here are the stats exported from PureSim's Almanac (http://www.puresim.com/2007PlayoffsBOSANA/index.html).

Guess I'll do Yankees Indians next if anyone is interested?

Note, I just let it import and run, I didn't take out guys like Donnelly that are hurt, so it's not 100% scientific :)

I like the results though :)

That's pretty cool. I'd like to see the rest.

Let's hope real life ends up close to this sim! :) ;)

GO BOSTON!!!

Looks like it could be a low scoring series

That report you printed, as funny as this might sound, has made me want to check out PureSim again. Right now.

Yea, I noticed that. I guess it makes sense given the 4 man rotations and the Lackey, Beckett, Schill, Dice K, K Rod and Papelbon.

Are you not using DH, is that why the pitchers have hitting stats? If so, that is part of the reason the numbers are trending lower.

[Shaun Sullivan]

I ran 162 games Yanks v. Indians. Guess what? A dead heat 81 wins each. Too funny!

One big surprise too, Mussina came up big with a 3.03 ERA! That's a cool thing about PureSim, when players are imported a lot more than just the current season's stats impact a players ratings. In this case, looks like PureSim doesn't think Moose is ready to hang em up {gulp}

Anyway, here is the almanac (http://www.puresim.com/nyycle/index.html)

This was fun. I watched the last 3 games it was so close :)

I am a dope! Let me re-run them with the DH :)

Nice!

Gonna be interesting to see how it'll work with the 5 games in 8 days schedule (which means the 1-2 pitch four out of the five games)

:eek:


Well considering I am playing a "season" with only 2 teams, there is certainly a chance of that!

[Shaun Sullivan]

Well, looks like ole' PureSim was right on target.

Coming soon: Indians vs. Sox!
