@dbacknate I always say no to the Mets making the playoffs. It is the safe bet.

@Isotopecrunch not surprised. There are some monster cards in that season. Have fun. If ya need a partner to roll some of those tedious games gimme a shout I’d be willing

Ah Puig, you contentious Free Agent, you.

Looks like we’re down to a two-way tie for first, and I have to bust out the tie breaker… who was the closest contract prediction for Gerrit Cole?

MikeW - 7 years, 217 million
pararamids - 3 years, 54 million

Actual: 9 years, $324 million

That makes MikeW the 2020 FA Contest Winner!

Congratulations, MikeW!

MikeW wins 20,000 credits for his GO account, and a set of 2019 season cards.

Please send me an email at jeremy@apbago.com with your shipping address at your earliest convenience, and we’ll get them out to you as soon as we can.

The rest of you have received your credits in your GO account.

Thank you everyone for participating, it was another fun (and very difficult) contest! See you next year!

Well, I know I am severely behind in keeping this thread up-to-date, but life is busy. We have completed the 2010 season, and also expanded our league to compete in both directions. We call it LABL Retro. Since we launched on Apba GO with the 2002 season, we started the retro version with 8 interested managers and will be working seasons in reverse. Since my last posting here, we have completed the 2001 and 2000 seasons. The 1999 season expanded to 12 managers with that season just getting ready for the playoffs! After 1998, we would like to get to 16 managers and we are looking for 1-2 of you to be a part of this fun!

Please keep in mind that we want our newest expansion managers to be as competitive as possible sooner than later. We think our plan is a good one to ensure that possibility. If interested, please respond to this ad below asap.

**The LABL is a unique league that works in both directions.

Currently, the league is in the middle of the 2011 season with 16 managers. This end of the league moves forward likes most leagues.

However, it also runs in the opposite direction with 12 managers currently in the 1999 season. This league is called LABL Retro and we are looking for 2 new managers to expand to 16 by the 1997 season.

This is a laid back league with a great group of managers. Seasons generally run 4-5 months max with an 86 game schedule. With Apba GO taking care of the stats, it is a great way to simply play the basic game with your own roster management and meet a lot of great community people.

If interested in our drafting website and other league details, reach out to Commissioner Ken at schulzka02@yahoo.com for more information.**

@mlbkdog Hi and welcome. The best way to report issues is to file support tickets. Each submission is logged in our internal system, prioritized every two weeks, and assigned to devs. This is the best and most efficient way to report problems. Problems reported outside this system are addressed, but put more administration load on the team. The support form can be found here: https://baseball.apbago.com/support

Also, thank you!

The upgrade shows when the pitcher is on the mound not on his card.

@sstein lol!

I like how you think!

Jeremy

thanks for the update J

So does anyone know what John said at the convention regarding GO?

@apba-go-jeremy I’d put a strong request in for less than 25 players per team, like 11. For example, I still can’t play 1883 which has never been fixed because the roster sizes are too small. Sigh.

Did this ever get off the ground? It sounds interesting.

Toronto jumped ahead to a an early lead in this contest. After two periods the score was 4-1 in the Maple Leafs favor. Cotton had a goal and Jackson had two. The Bruins would rally in the third period. Out shooting Toronto 18-4 in the final period the Bruins added two goals by Barry and a second goal from Clapper. Toronto got a short handed goal from Primeau to open the third period. With under a minute to play, Boston would fall just short in their comeback attempt when Clapper couldn’t play the puck with the extra man on the ice due to the pulling of the goalie. Toronto wins a thriller 5-4.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy understand. 8 characters would be great start!

@AbitaKrewe-0 Try checking your availability status by mousing over your username. It should be green.

Thanks,
Jeremy

No worries, Jeremy. Really appreciate the fact that you guys are committed to being on top of these glitches.

@tigerscott I’m not sure what state the fix left in-progress games. Give it a shot; see if it’s back to normal.

@apba-go-jeremy In Game 5 only one starting pitcher showed up. In the top of the first, after a lead off walk, the next three batters reached base driving in two runs. In the top of the second, the lead off batter walked and scored. The Red Sox had batters on base in every inning and the lead off batter reached in seven innings. The Red Sox scored three more runs in the top of the 6th starting with Kinsler’s lead-off home run. This was his third consecutive at bat leading off and reaching base. Two more Red Sox runs scored in the sixth. This was the end of Kershaw’s night. At this point. Price had only given up two 2Bs to Pederson. The Red Sox had the bases loaded in the top of the 9th but failed to score. The Dodgers scored two runs in the bottom of the ninth. Final score Boston 6 Los Angeles 2. More importantly the Red Sox have 3 games to 2 lead heading into Game 6.

Any updates on this fascinating replay season?

Thanks. I am going to start a single team replay (as played) with the 1901 Pirates. It will be fun to research the past and learn more baseball history while exploring the dead ball era. I am going to use APBA GO’s collections feature to keep all stats, etc.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy . Hi Jeremy. Was Pedro improved with the last update? I want to use him again, but not if he still has issues. Thanks.
