Van G's Bases

[Van G]

I'm starting a thread in order to track my baseball plays.

I will be testing out a new method that I've devised & I think it may have some potential.

I will attempt to be as consistent as possible with posting my plays each day.

Each "favorite" play will be to win 1 unit & each "dog" play will be risking 1 unit (unless noted otherwise).

Let's get this.

4/30 results

SF ml -132 WIN +1.0u
BOS rl +105 LOSS - 1.0u
COL ml -175 WIN +1.0u

Comments: SF's stellar bullpen + Nats poor hitting w/ RISP equals a win; I temporarily forgot that the Red Sox suck this year so far & I'm handed a loss here; the Rocks remembered how to play like they're supposed to in Coors & take care of the Buccos for an easy win

Overall record to date: 2-1
Overall +/- units to date: +1.0u

[Van G]

MIL ml -119 LOSS - 1.19u
ARIZ ml -168 WIN +1.0u

Comments: MIL lineup is handcuffed by Bud Norris, who is becoming very tough to beat in Minute Maid Park; ARIZ bullpen hangs on late for a 1-run win & gives Daniel Hudson a "W"
