The 1950 Yankees beat the 2009 Yankees four games to two in their six game series to improve their record to 38-28. The 2K9 Yankees fell further below .500 at 41-49.

The '50 Yankees won the first four games of the series. Cliff Mapes made the most of his DH assignment in the first two games. He went 2-4 with a homerun and three RBI in an 8-6 win in Game One and 2-5 with a mash and five RBI in Game Two for a 12-6 win. They backed up their 12-run onslaught in Game Three with another one in Game Four for a 12-5 win; Jerry Coleman was the hero this time, going 3-4 with a double and five RBI. After losing 3-1 in Game Four, the 2K9 Yankees salvaged a couple of wins to finish the series. Jorge Posada broke a 2-2 tie in the 9th with a solo homerun for a 3-2 win in Game Five. Andy Pettitte pitched a five hit shutout in the final game for a 5-0 win.

Mapes hit .385 with eight RBI in the series to raise his overall average to .272 and nearly doubling his RBI total to 19. Joe Dimaggio is hitting .318 with 13 homeruns, 67 RBI, 52 runs scored, and a .950 OPS. Phil Rizzuto is hitting .299 with 54 runs scored. Yogi Berra is hitting .292 with 56 RBI. Joe Page picked up his 10th save to go with a 2-2 record and 2.45 ERA.

Derek Jeter is back as the 2K9 Yankees hitting leader at .283 with 13 homeruns, 57 runs scored, and 19 stolen bases. Posada is hitting .282 with 21 homeruns, 77 RBI, and a .913 OPS. Pettite’s shutout improved his record to 6-7 with a 4.18 ERA. The 2K9 Yankees will take on the 52-38 1937 Yankees in the next series.

I did use the 50’s Clarence micro manager. not to inundate the space with tons of numbers but the basics team wise:
Actual/Replay numbers hitting wise Actual/Replay: Ave. .266/267, Runs. 775/774, HR. 221/217, SB. 45/41, RBI. 734/758, BB. 528/525, Hits. 1406/1401, OPS. 777/761. Uncannily accurate!!!

Pitching Actual/Replay: W/L. 91-63. 96/59. ERA. 3.85/3.44, CG. 47/100, K’s. 653/775, HR. 141/132, BB. 458/392, Not nearly as accurate, but still only 5 more wins.

A couple of interesting individual results: Actual/Replay
Klu: AB. 572/574, Ave. 305/302, HR. 39/35, Bi. 102/102. OPS. 914/898. Pretty amazing!!
Robinson: AB. 576/572, Ave. 285/290, HR. 32/38, BI. 99/83, OPS. 895/936
Most of the other hitters were very comparable. I was very impressed with the accuracy of the offensive numbers across the board.

Pitching: Actual/ Replay. Not as accurate in many cases.

Brooks Lawrence. IP. 219/243, W/L. 19/10, 19/10!!!, ERA. 3.99/2.70
Joe Nuxhall. IP. 201/254, W/L. 13-11/. 20-10 ??? ERA. 3.72/3.15
John Klippstein. IP. 211/210. W-L. 12-11. 14-13. ERA. 4.09/3.31
Freeman. IP. 109/131, W-L. 14-5. 7-2, Saves. 18/9, ERA. 3.40/2.74
The other pitchers were also less accurate than the hitters but not ridiculous.

thanks guys

Thanks. I messed up and should have done monthly figuring as games were being played. Oh well.
Just your opinion: i was thinking of 6 team round robin of the best teams from 1950 to present. Thinking: 98 Yanks, 75 Reds, 95 Braves, 72 A’s, 70 O’s, and ??? Some recent Dodger team? 84 Tigers? A Redsox or Cardinal or Pirate team? Whaddya think?

@Tazmanean_Devil Great stuff. I remember being frustrated too… having a key starting pitcher enter the game as a reliever (espy if he thrown a complete game the day before). The day I figured out the purpose of that thumbs up/down icon was a bit of a game-changer…

Exceptionally well-written. Nice job.

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
