For the second straight series, the 2009 Yankees lost five of six, this time to the 1999 Yankees. The '99 Yankees improved their record to 43-35 while the 2K9 Yankees dropped below .500 at 35-37.

The '99 Yankees won the first three games, scoring double figures in two of them. In Game Two, Joe Girardi went 2-5 with a double, homerun, three RBI, and two runs scored in an 11-2 win. They led 12-2 in Game Three and held off a furious rally by the 2K9 Yankees ,who scored nine runs in the 8th and 9th innings, and escaped with a 12-11 win. Paul O’Neill hammered two homers scored four runs and drove in three RBI. After the 2K9 Yankees won Game Four 7-4, the '99 Yankees won the final two games 9-3 and 7-3. Scott Brosius went 4-4 with a homer, two doubles, three RBI, and three runs scored in Game Five. Game Six was determined by the 3rd inning when they scored five runs, capped off by a three run homerun by Derek Jeter to give them a 6-3 lead, a lead they would not let get away.

Jeter leads the '99 Yankees in hitting at .335 with 10 homeruns, 25 doubles, 60 runs scored, and a .951 OPS. O’Neill is hitting .322 with 53 RBI. Bernie Williams is hitting .305 with 21 homeruns, 72 RBI, 51 runs scored, and a .971 OPS. Orlando Hernandez won his start to improve his record to 11-5 with a 3.01 ERA.

Robinson Cano has taken over the team lead in hitting for the 2K9 Yankees at .294 with 10 homeruns. Jorge Posada drove in five more RBI to give 63 season while hitting .292 with 17 homeruns. The 2K9 Yankees will try to end the slide when they compete with the 39-33 1956 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
