Rather tiny amount of action for Sims #7/#8 which makes us here at The Watch sad. But there was some juiciness. One Silver Goat candidate goes where no candidate has before (?)!! For the tiny amount of action, the guys who did get into the walkoff scrum were significant names.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.

Sim #8 Team and Player Highlights
- The best team in 1-run decisions, by quite a gap, is Bikini who has lost 2 of 11 such games. Charm City (11-7), Sacramento (11-7), and Des Moines (8-10) have each seen 18 1-run finishes.
- Atlantic City (4-12) and Vancouver (3-9) are flailing in 1-run affairs.
- As we said in the intro, there wasn’t a lot of action in this window. But what we had was concentrated amongst just a few teams. Bikini swept 3 walkoff games. Vancouver and Portland each dropped one of 3. Montreal and Chicago both went 0-3.
- Chicago’s Carl Vincent is officially getting nothing for Christmas. After already allowing a winning run via a wild pitch, Vincent walked in one vs Portland and sits one off the lead pack for the Silver Goat.
- Montreal’s Gerald Rogers vaulted himself into that lead pack allowing 2 walkoffs in this window.
- Charm City’s Dave Ackerman retains sole possession of the lead for the Silver Atlas trophy while Phoenix’ Taisuke Kamimura delivered his first two wins to join the group just behind Ackerman.
