“I am replaying the 2007 Red Sox with IBL and thought you might like to
see the stats to date (attached). I am using retrosheet.org and am
playing the “as played “starting lineups. Relief pitchers are used as
closely to “as played” usage as possible, but obviously game situations
dictate which relievers appear in a particular game.
Let me know what you think. While individual averages will invariably
vary, through 77 games the team batting average is identical to the
actual 2007 (full) season and OBP is only .04 from the actual. I truly
appreciate the time and effort that you have devoted to making this
game so accurate.”

One of the things we pride ourselves is all the work that we’ve put into TIG (The IBL Game as it’s called) to make it not only one of the most accurate dice-and-charts baseball simulation games out there, but also to give it away for free. All that hard work is worth it when you see e-mails like this.
