The Walkoff Watch 2024: Sim #8

[cheekimonk]

Not many walkoffs in Sim #8 so it’s not surprising that there were no changes at the top of the Silver Atlas and Silver Goat standings. It’s also not surprising that we at The Watch have not much more to say.

The Walkoff Watch Terminology

balkoff When a pitcher balks in the winning run.
derpoff When a pitcher walks in the winning run, hits a batter with the bases full, or the winning run scores due to a wild pitch or error.
200-proof walkoff When the home team scores in the bottom of a previous inning to extend the game and then scores with a walkoff in a subsequent inning.
pimpoff When the home team scores a walkoff following the visiting team tying the game to cause extra innings (or more extra innings) or scoring what would have been the winning run if the home team hadn’t responded.
