For the second consecutive series, the 1950 Yankees lost five of six games. This time, it was to the 1952 Yankees. The '50 Yankees have now lost 10 of their last 12 games as they fell to 23-19. The '52 Yankees improved their record to 49-59.

The '52 Yankees scored 52 runs in their five wins. In Game Two, they scored seven runs in the second inning, six of them unearned thanks to a Phil Rizzuto error, en route to a 10-2 win. They had another seven run bender in the 8th inning of Game Three, capped off by a Joe Collins homerun to break a 1-1 tie for a 8-1 win. Collins was a perfect 8-8 at the plate in the final two and a half games. Both teams scored double figures in Games Four and Five. The '52 Yankees jumped out to a 10-1 lead after four innings. The '50 Yankees came roaring back with five runs in the 5th and four in the 8th to tie the game 11 on a pinch hit two run homer by Tommy Henrich. Hank Bauer hit a solo homerun in the bottom of the 8th to give them the lead for good in a 12-11 win. The '52 Yankees scored nine runs in the first inning in which the first six batters reached safely. The '50 Yankees came back with seven runs in the third and one in the fourth to cut the lead to 9-8. The '52 Yankees scored five more in the fourth to keep their distance and win 15-10. Collins went 5-5 with two homeruns, four RBI, and three runs scored. The '52 Yankees won the final game in less dramatic fashion 7-2. Mickey Mantle hit two triples and drove in three runs.

Mantle leads the '52 Yankees in hitting at .303 with 13 homeruns, 12 triples, 79 RBI and a .916 OPS. Gene Woodling is hitting .300 with 81 runs scored. Collins hit .417 in the series with three homeruns and 10 RBI. He is now hitting .281 with 26 homeruns, 101 RBI and a .934 OPS. Allie Reynolds won another start to go to 16-4 with a 2.61 ERA.

Johnny Hopp leads the '50 Yankees in hitting at .350 with 27 runs scored and a .980 OPS. Phil Rizzuto is hitting .310 with 38 runs scored. Joe Dimaggio’s average dropped to .301 with 10 homeruns, 48 RBI and a .946 OPS. Their pitching continues to get hammered; Vic Raschi, Allie Reynolds, and Tommy Byrne have ERAs of 6.01, 5.56, and 5.90. The '50 Yankees will take on the 54-60 1961 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?
