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.

@NYAPBA Yes, like the board game.

This might be helpful for draft leagues.

Hi!,

in most cases the information used to determine game results will be made available to players. Also, the back and forth flow between offense and defense will also take place prior to results being made available. This should appeal to managers familiar with the master game (while making the game playable to those managers who are still learning)

Hope this helps,

@ncord the fatigue is loosely tied to the fatigue number on the card but not exact. a die is rolled before the game (you don’t see it) and a number is added or subtracted from the fatigue number. so if pitcher has a 28 fatigue he may reduce at say 26 or 31 batters. maybe someone can re post the rule

I’ve experienced two no-hit shutouts but in both cases, the pitcher gave up 2 walks. In one of them, the pitcher went perfect for 8 innings and gave up 2 walks in the 9th. You know the old rule: don’t talk about it while it’s happening or you’ll jinx it. Well I realized what was happening in the bottom of the 9th…apparently, thinking about it will also jinx it.

Is this the Twilight Zone? I read his question four times and still can’t figure out what he asked that was not answered. Kayleigh, I think you did a great job of answering his question and I’d like to offer you an apology on behalf of Sludge. I’m not sure what quagmire he was dredged up from, but his name is certainly fitting.
Also, thank you Jeremy for your decisive reaction. I can only speak for myself, but we don’t need his kind of muck oozing around here clogging up the real reason we are here…to have fun and enjoy this great game.

Sound and notification is definitely a nice surprise!

@sstein Yes, there is a new flow to accommodate the back-and-forth between offense and defense in the Master Game.

AAAL has an opening. Email me at szs.webaddr@gmail.com if you’re interested.

@striker2550 The PH facing a batter has been an issue that is being looked at, but I am not sure about the timetable for the fix. The issue with the force at second with the bases loaded and no out, allowing the winning run to score, is interesting. With 28, if the infield is deep, the force is at second, and others advance a base. In Fielding Two, the runner is out at home with Infield In. In Fielding One & Three, it is a single with Infield In. We can examine the strategy on that one.

Sidney might PH for the pitcher in the first inning if the other pitcher is tough and there is a good PH option on the bench. The thinking is an opportunity to break the game open early, and there should be a decent long reliever in the bullpen.

I’ve been playing mostly solitaire since my newer subscription a few days ago. I’m not having any issues pulling the pitcher when his team’s in the field. I can hard press on his spot in the lineup and substitute for him. It’s when I am trying to pinch hit. I understand about the pitch and bat icons for sure. Would I be able to send you a screenshot of what happens?

Thx

Tim
