The Sun Belt Conference baseball tourney would be set to begin in Montgomery, AL, on May 19. I thought my new baseball scorebook was going to be delivered today...which would be a key piece toward getting my own version of it using a simple, homebrewed tabletop baseball simulation underway. It didn't arrive yet, but the more key piece is actually getting all the teams in the league statted out, anyway, and I'm still dragging on that. I do think I've nailed down most of the final details to make the game as fully playable as I expect it to be, though.
For documentation's sake, the new rules are below. As a recap from my last post (sample player stats can be found in that blog entry)...
For each at-bat, just roll a d100. If the result is 1-50, check the pitcher’s table; if it’s greater than 50, check the batter’s. Finally, if the result is “In Play”, roll another d100, check it on the hitter’s “In Play” table, and resolve the play.
New additions:
1. Stolen Bases - Every player now gets a Speed rating of A, B, or C. For now, I'm just using a quick-and-dirty method to determine this based on their number of stolen bases per trip to first. Ratings A-B-C successfully steal on d% rolls of 75-65-55.
2. Sacrifice Bunts - If the at-bat's first d100 roll is a HR or "In Play," the sacrifice bunt has successfully moved the runner(s) over.
3. Sacrifice Flies - Keeping this one really simple. Runners score from third on any outs to the outfield.
4. The Big d100 Table of Randomness - This is the one that's going to take me a little more time to work out, as well. I want a big table to roll on whenever a 100 is rolled in the game, for somewhat rare events like balks, weather delays, and fights. I'll post it when it's done!
I'm also thinking I need to get something in there to model pitchers' tiring out. Maybe I should just have a consistent 6-2-1 pattern for innings pitched by the starter and relievers...? Or even 6-1-1-1...? One of those could work...
Once again, everybody stay safe out there!
