For the fifth straight time, the 2000 Yankees split another six game series, this one with the 1937 Yankees. The '37 Yankees stayed 14 games over .500 at 49-35 while the 2K Yankees remain two games over at 49-47.

This was a fun offensive series. Joe Dimaggio kicked things off for the '37 Yankees in Game One with a 3-6, double, homerun, and four RBI performance in a 16-7 shootout. Bernie Williams hit two dingers in a losing cause; he would be far from done. Williams hit two more homeruns in Game Two, his second a two-run blast to give the 2K Yankees a 5-4 lead in the 8th inning. Tino Martinez added another two-run tater for a 7-4 win. The 2K Yankees won the lowest scoring game in Game Three 4-3 then took a 3-1 lead in the series with a thriller in Game Four. The '37 Yankees jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the 1st. The 2K Yankees came back and took a 5-4 lead in the 7th when Williams struck again with a two-run homer. The '37 Yankees came right back in the bottom of the inning when Dimaggio hit a two-run homer of his won to retake the lead 6-5. The '37 Yankees could not close the win as Derek Jeter ambushed Johnny Murphy in the 9th with a solo homerun to tie the game, and David Justice added a two-run blast to give the 2K Yankees an 8-6 win. The '37 Yankees managed a split by winning the last two games 6-3 and 11-8. Dimaggio went 2-4 with two homeruns and five RBI in the final game while Justice hit two homeruns in a losing cause.

Lou Gehrig hit .500 in the series to raise his average to .344 with 22 homeruns, 64 RBI, 86 runs scored, and a 1.159 OPS. Dimaggio had an insane series; he hit .480 with five homeruns and 17(!) RBI to raise his overall average to .302 with 32 homeruns and a ridiculous 105 RBI with a 1.011 OPS. Lefty Gomez and Red Ruffing have nearly identical numbers; Gomez is 9-3 with a 2.62 ERA while Ruffing is 10-3 with a 2.61 ERA. Kemp Wicker and Spud Chandler have identical 5-4 records with identical 3.82 ERAs.

Jeter continues to hold steady at .273 with 11 homeruns and 87 runs scored. Williams hit .400 with five homeruns and 11 RBI to raise his overall average to .270 with 22 homeruns and 65 RBI. Justice hit four more homeruns to give him 29 for the season and drove in seven runs to give 82 RBI for the season. Roger Clemens had two ugly starts to give him a 12-5 record with an ERA of 3.73. Mariano Rivera saved all three wins to give him 26 for the season with a 1.68 ERA. The 2K Yankees will battle with the 18-12 1951 Yankees in the next series.

Am just curious… when playing with a micro manager (which admittedly, I never do) do you not still have the pre-game option of clicking ‘thumbs down’ on players who are not eligible to play that day? (ie. other starting pitchers, tired relievers, injured players?). Because that’s a great solution whenever I’ve played solitaire games on Autoplay.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy
That works too. Thank you.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy
For additional Information there is an email sent to customer support on 3/4/25 with the title of APBAGO 1950 season replay with the transactions in red are the players whose cards are not where they should be for 1950 replay.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy The replay lineups have problems when player is traded later in the season is not restored back to the team the player began the season with. In the 1950 season almost every player that was sold or claimed on waivers is on the wrong team

Newspaper style boxscore would be great like the old days.

It’s not great.

Is the a way to change the entire replay league to DH with 1 move so I don’t have to do it every game? Is Malcom an better. Pedro is terrible.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy Thank you Jeremy! I hope you have a great new year! Cheers.

@Nooch66 Awesome!

That is cool! Did you use APBA GO? I am just starting 1984 with Replay option.

Thank you, Jeremy

The All Star Break has arrived. Here are the standings; note: A few teams have played a couple of more games than others because coordinating schedules wasn’t easy. :)

**East Division**

1905 New York Giants 59-19
2019 Washington Nationals 40-38
1979 Pittsburgh Pirates 37-40
1969 New York Mets 34-43
1980 Philadelphia Phillies 33-44
1997 Florida Marlins 29-48

**Central/West Division**

1907 Chicago Cubs 45-32
1942 St. Louis Cardinals 43-37
1957 Milwaukee Braves 41-36
1976 Cincinnati Reds 40-38
2001 Arizona Diamondbacks 33-44
1963 Los Angeles Dodgers 31-46

Obviously, the Central/West Division race is more compelling because the '05 Giants are just ridiculous. They have a team batting average of .309. .309!! Their 521 runs scored are over 100 more than the Big Red Machine of 1976 (394). Either their cards are flawed compared to their actual stats, or they are getting the best run of random computer dice rolls ever. Dan McGann, the current favorite for MVP hit .299 in 1905 with 5 homeruns, 14 triples, 23 doubles, 75 RBI, and a .825 OPS. McGann after 78 games? .375, 10 homeruns, 11 triples, 18 doubles, 97 RBI, 1.033 OPS. Oh and 20 stolen bases too. Good grief. Here are the other All-Stars:

2B: Joe Morgan: .281, 16 HR, 62 RBI, 76 runs scored, 41 steals, 1.000 OPS.

3B: Mike Schmidt: .240, 21 HR, 62 RBI, .891 OPS

SS: Bill Dahlen: .277, 45 RBI, 45 runs scored, 24 SBs

OF: Mike Donlin: .436, 70 RBI, 67 runs scored, 19 stolen bases, 1.046 OPS.

OF: George Foster: .299, 14 HRs, 66 RBI, 46 runs scored, 18 stolen bases.

OF: Henry Aaron: .286, 24 HRs, 61 RBI, 51 RBI, .909 OPS

C: Roger Breshnahan: .318, 78 runs scored, 26 stolen bases.

SP: Johnny Beazley: 11-4, 1.98 ERA, .140 OBA

I like it. Keep us posted. I know what you’re saying about three playoff teams vs two. But I think you’ll appreciate how many more games will still be relevant late in your season. And a short 2vs3 playoff will be fun as well…

How did you enjoy 1908? All games played or autoplay?
