The 1928 Yankees and the 2000 Yankees split their six game series. The '28 Yankees stayed 16 games over .500 at 29-13. The 2K Yankees remained 16 games under .500 at 67-83.

After trailing 1-0 through five innings of Game One, the '28 Yankees scored two in the 6th, seven in the 8th, and three in the 9th for a 12-1 blowout win. Of their 16 hit attack, they hit four doubles and three triples. They hit three more triples in Game Two but lost 3-2 in 10 innings. Babe Ruth hit a two-out two-run homer in the 8th to give them a 2-1 lead, but Jorge Posada’s RBI double in the bottom of the inning tied the game. Derek Jeter won the game for the 2K Yankees with a walkoff double in the 10th. The 2K Yankees won a wild Game Three 10-8. They trailed 6-0 in the first two innings, thanks to two Ruth homeruns. The 2K Yankees scored eight unanswered runs including five in the 4th inning thanks to homeruns by Tino Martinez and Posada to take an 8-6 lead. The '28 Yankees scored two in the 7th to tie the game, but Posada struck again with his second homerun of the game, a two-run shot, to give them back the lead for good. The '28 Yankees won Game Four with a comeback of their own. The 2K Yankees jumped out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning on the strength of a David Justice three-run homerun. The '28 Yankees chipped away and tied the game 5-5 in the 7th on a Tony Lazzeri two-run homerun. Cedric Durst, playing for an injured Ruth, hit a solo homerun in the bottom of the 8th for a 6-5 win. The teams traded wins in the last two games. The '28 Yankees earned the series split in the last game 5-4. George Pipgras got the win on the mound and drove in two runs with a double at the plate.

Lazzeri leads the '28 Yankees in hitting at .382 with 38 runs scored and a 1.088 OPS. Ruth is hitting .326 with 19 homeruns, 43 RBI, 45 runs scored, and a 1.261 OPS. Earle Combs is hitting .313 with 39 runs scored. Pipgras is 10-0 with a 2.21 ERA. Waite Hoyt is 6-0 with a 1.66 ERA.

Jeter took over the 2K Yankees leader in average at .260 with 15 homeruns and 118 runs scored. Posada now has 29 homeruns with 89 RBI to go with a .256 average. Bernie Williams is also hitting .256 with 31 homeruns, 89 RBI, and 94 runs scored. Justice now has 43 homeruns and 114 RBI while hitting .222. Mariano Rivera now has 39 saves along with a 2.10 ERA. The 2K Yankees will play their final series against the 26-10 1927 Yankees.

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?
