The 1938 Yankees and the 2000 Yankees split their six game series, keeping the '38 Yankees 10 games over .500 at 23-13. The 2K Yankees stayed eight games under at 59-67.

Two of the games went into extra innings. The '38 Yankees won Game One 4-3 in 10 innings in a game that was scoreless for seven innings. Lou Gehrig hit a two-run homer in the 8th inning to give them a 2-0 lead, but the 2K Yankees countered with three runs of their own in the bottom of the inning, punctuated by a two-run double by David Justice. Tommy Henrich tied the game in the 9th off Mariano Rivera with a RBI triple. Myril Hoag gave the '38 Yankees the lead for good in the 10th with a RBI single. The 2K Yankees evened the series in Game Two with a 3-2 win. Bill Dickey and Scott Brosius exchanged two-run homers in the 5th, and Jorge Posada followed with a solo dinger in the 6th to give them the win. Bernie Williams blasted two homeruns with four RBI in Game Three to give the 2K Yankees an 8-5 win. The '38 Yankees tied the series in Game Four with an emphatic 11-1 win; Dickey and Joe Dimaggio had three RBI apiece. The 2K Yankees needed 12 innings to put away Game Five for a 4-3 win; Derek Jeter put them ahead for good with a two-out solo homerun in the 12th. The '38 Yankees earned a split with a leisurely 5-1 win in the final game.

Dickey leads the '38 Yankees in hitting at .340 with 15 homeruns, 43 RBI, and a 1.172 OPS. Dimaggio is hitting .315 with 11 homeruns, 37 RBI, and a 1.033 OPS. The '38 Yankees have three pitchers, Lefty Gomez (4-3, 2.61 ERA), Red Ruffing (3-4, 2.72 ERA), and Spud Chandler (5-1, 2.78 ERA) all have ERAs under 3.

Williams’ average dropped to .266 with 27 homeruns, 78 RBI, and 10 stolen bases. Derek Jeter scored six times in the series to give him 104 runs scored for the season. Posada has 23 homeruns and 70 RBO while hitting .246 with a .409 OBP. Justice had seven RBI in the series to give him 103 for the season with 38 homeruns. Roger Clemens continued his fall from grace as his record dropped to 12-8 with a 3.98 ERA. Rivera now has 33 saves and a 1.48 ERA. The 2K Yankees will play the 32-16 1932 Yankees in the next series.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy said in Release 2.4.0:

@RobNPR Pedro is having issues but otherwise the platform is stable.
However, as you may have read in my first post in this thread, the team will be completely re-factoring the game engine in Q1 of the New Year. While this will not have an effect on functionality, introducing the new code into the wild will bring with it bugs that do not exist today.
If I was considering running a league or w/e on the platform I would definitely do it. But it’s a live product, and I understand what that means in terms of potential disruptions. Your comfort level may vary.
Thanks,
Jeremy

Thanks for the quick response. We have run a 16 team league on the platform for aa few years now. We don’t use Pedro will take your other caustion under advisement.

(9 of 10)

SOUTHAMPTON 1 - NIL NEW CASTLE
Southampton (3-3-1) vs New Castle U (3-2-2)

SOUTHAMPTON (TR2; DEF 3) vs NEW CASTLE (TR 2; DEF 2)

Sometimes it is better to be very lucky than good. Case in point - Southampton’s 1- Nil victory over NewCastle United at St. Mary’s Stadium with 32,505 delirious Southampton fans left happily stunned. With the tick on the clock a lonh header by Southampton was redirected in the wrong direction by Newcastle Midfielder, Jonjo Shelvey. The ball whizzed by stunned Newcastle Goalkeeper ,KArl Darlow as time expired. It was an “Own Goal” for Shelvey.

Southampton now sits with Burnley tied for third, both with 15 points.

@RobNPR
Thanks Jeremy! Its Christmas!!!

Reds, Arizona, Mets

Congrats Randy!

@HOFfridge Thanks!

Fixed it last night.

Jeremy

Impressive results, the most important indicator of the offense (runs) was just about on target. I played the the 57 season for awhile on BBW and the White Sox gave the Yanks all kinds of problems…

@RandySteinman Very entertaining. Thank you!

Thanks, @RonNichols. I am now onto my next project. 128 GTOP teams, broken down into eight 16-team brackets (ie. Cobb Division 1901-1917, Ruth Division 1918-1935, etc, right up to Pujols 2008-2019).
Each bracket is a triple-knockout. The eight eventual winners will then square off in a final triple-knockout division to determine the champion.
All on APBA GO. I try to play a game or two a day, as my schedule allows. Great fun.

@striker2550 We will not be changing the name ;)

Just tap the credit amount, it will bring up a number pad and you can enter a value.

We tried a slider but it’s super inaccurate.

Enjoy,
Jeremy

I will give it 1 more day till I have to just play the winner’s bracket.

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

WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC Final

Can’t match Ohtani vs. Trout but I did have a thrilling finale for my tournament.

The Dominican Republic, on a roll since its stunning opening game loss to Israel, faced USA Metro, fresh off an upset win over USA West in the U.S. bracket. Johnny Cueto on the hill for the DR with Metro calling on steady southpaw John Tudor.

Metro got on the board in the second with Craig Biggio doubling home Rico Petrocelli.

Back-to-back doubles by Manny Ramirez and Vladimir Guerrero evened things in the top of the fourth.

The bottom of the fourth got wacky. Alex Rodriguez led off with a double and Petrocelli singled him home. Ken Singleton walked to put runners at first and second. Cueto proceeded to hit THREE straight batters — Biggio, Derek Jeter and Mike Trout) to force in two more runs giving Metro a 4-1 lead.

Things stayed quiet until the ninth when David Ortiz hit a three-run homer off Orel Hershiser to tie the game. Pedro Martinez retired Metro 1-2-3 in the bottom half of the inning to send the game into extras.

In the bottom of the tenth with one out, Singleton blasted a home run to right giving USA Metro the WBC Championship. Singleton hit .476 with 3 HRs and five RBI in the tournament and was named MVP for his heroics, edging out USA West’s Jeff Kent (.348-4-10) and the DR’s Ortiz (.250-4-9).

Hiroki Kuroda of Asia threw the most scoreless innings (14), six pitchers recorded two wins (including Metro’s Hershsier and John Candelaria), Joaquin Benoit of the DR posted the most saves (2) and Fernando Valenzuela of Mexico led all pitchers with 17 strikeouts.
