I'm presuming (perhaps wrongly) that many who sim out games are mostly just looking at the batting lines and pitching lines alone, e.g. "Okay, Clark went 3 for 5 with 2 RBIs, Johnson had an 0-fer, Lewis went 1-4 with 2 runs", etc. and moving on, rather than necessarily trying to piece together the action in the game. I'm sure some do, but figure that many are plowing through their league's schedule and are not scrutinizing the boxscore/game logs to such an extent.
Whereas if you're playing the game out (and watching it), it's pretty much in your face what happened.
Cool, thanks!

I agree, but I would also say those who sim along at a steady pace probably only give POG a cursory glance. It probably isn't too important to a lot of people.
I sim out games mostly now, but it's 1 game at a time and I often sift through a boxscore and log to get a picture in my head of what happened. I'm guilty of my previous comment as well, sometimes I just don't care about POG, and am only concerned with the actual game results.
