What I like about Strat is the dice and how luck can play a huge role in an individual at bat or game, but due to statistical probability, things will normalize over a 162 game season. Last two games were the luck instance. Last game Pete Smith was throwing a shutout, while today Smoltz got smoked, chased in the fourth after giving up seven runs over two innings, including homers by Eisenreich (who’s on a tear, by the way) and Daulton. Mulholland pitched a beauty, going the distance and only surrendering one run on a ground out with the defense playing back. What a great sweep of the Braves!
