Another note, is how terrible the western divisions in each league were, Oakland really pulled ahead in the sim to take the division. The Cincinnati Reds finished with the best record in the Majors and no team won 100 games which makes for some compelling parity in the league. As you can see the Braves and Expos tied, for tie breaker I took Montreal's record vs the Braves and the fact they had a better record prior to the the strike. The Sim: Those looking to learn about the sim and how it runs, here is the link to Savards explanation and introduction to his sim league that he ran on here previously.įinal Standings: The standings were sorted into three tabs, the overall total standings, where the team was at the time of the strike, and finally the sim standings. Going into August of 1994: For those unfamiliar with what was going on in the season up until the work stoppage, here is the link to the baseball reference page. Another old rule that I just learned was back then the wild card team couldn't play their division winner in the opening round, even if they were the number 1 seed, a very interesting rule, which plays out huge in the conclusion of the regular season sim. For the sim, it is only simulating the regular season, I will personally play out the playoff series, and we are going by 1995 playoff rules, each division winner and 1 wild card from each league. Those are the main questions from the chat that inspired this idea so we will answer those in this post, but there are many other awesome things that will come from this sim.

What happens when you combine these two super powers together? The correct answer is many things, but the first one for you all to find out about is taking the stats and games played from prior to the strike and having the sim engine simulate the remaining games of the season to get to the playoffs. Secondly, was an absolute gamechanger and that was the creation of the Showdown Bot by the wonderful Matt Gula.

Two of the biggest things was a discord member SavardTheGoat created a super sim code where he can sim a full 162 game season before you can even think of the rosters. Sadly the pandemic happened but a tiny glimmer was the explosion of the discord and MLB showdown and all the cool things that came with it. Then myself making interactive leagues where the community drafted and I played the games out led to me making a discord for everyone to have one collective space to talk trash to each other. Oddly enough I didn't know much about this season due to me being so young, but this past 2 years has been the renaissance for the great game of MLB showdown, this blog was the first step for me, finding it and connecting with the wonderful people that run the blog. I was five years old in 1994 when the strike shut down the Major League Season, many things were going on that season that were unanswered.
