Bo Bichette had another phenomenal run this week, and Nate Pearson made his long-awaited simulation debut ahead of the All-Star break. Check out the latest results from Wilnerness590's simulation of the BlueJays 2020 season ⤵️
In order to provide a distraction from the much more serious things going on in the world, Sportsnet’s Blue Jays radio broadcaster Mike Wilner has been simulating each scheduled Blue Jays game in what was supposed to have been the 2020 season and providing weekly updates in this space. With Major League Baseball ramping up for what they hope will be an abbreviated 2020 season, much of our attention has shifted towards Spring Training 2.
Though it was too late of a run to garner All-Star consideration, Lourdes Gurriel Jr. finished the first half absolutely on fire.
Big Nate, the best right-handed pitching prospect in the game, had himself a nice, comfortable lead before he even threw a pitch, thanks to a two-run single by Grichuk that was followed by a two-run double by Danny Jansen in the top of the first. Gaviglio hit the first batter he faced, Jose Peraza, to force in another run, then a fly out and sacrifice fly later, coughed up a three-run homer to Martinez.
In the opener at Target Field, another Travis Shaw three-run homer put the Jays on top, but Miguel Sano went deep twice off Chase Anderson. The Twins had a 4-3 lead into the seventh, when Bichette came up huge again, driving a go-ahead two-out two-run double.
