The 2009 Yankees beat the 1996 Yankees four out of six games to improve their record to 26-16. The '96 Yankees fell to 48-66.

The 2K9 Yankees offense dominated in the first game; they had their first seven batters reach safely in a six run second inning and scored another eight runs in the 9th inning en route to a 16-4 win. Derek Jeter went 2-5 with a double, four RBI, and two runs scored. After a 5-2 win in Game Two, they won their third straight with another run-scoring outburst, 13-6 on the strength of 17 hits. The '96 Yankees won Game Four 7-6 despite a grand slam and five RBI by Jerry Hairston. Cecil Fielder was 1-2 with a homerun, two walks, three RBI, and three runs scored. After losing 6-4 in Game Five, the '96 Yankees salvaged a second win in the last game 8-4. Jeter hit a grand slam in the 6th to open up a tight 3-2 game.

Jeter leads the 2K9 Yankees in hitting at .327 with 10 homeruns, 11 stolen bases, and a 1.012 OPS. Jorge Posada is hitting .295 with a .959 OPS. Alex Rodriguez is hitting .276 with nine homeruns, 39 RBI, and 37 runs scored. Somehow, Sergio Mitre, a grade D pitcher, is 4-0 with a 2.49 ERA in seven starts. CC Sabathia is 7-3 with a 2.58 ERA.

Mariano Duncan hit .400 in the series with a couple of homers and six RBI. He raised his team-leading average to .298 with 11 homeruns and 86 RBI. Bernie Williams is hitting .231 with 19 homeruns, 61 RBI, and 78 runs scored. Andy Pettite leads the pitching staff with a 13-6 record and 3.06 ERA. The '96 Yankees will battle the 22-14 1951 Yankees in the next series.

@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

@TSBL Noted.

Fix supposedly went in today - let us know.

@TSBL Tuesday :P

after you click on the + sign you have to click on ADD in the lower right corner

cant wait for some master game options. Keep up the good work Jeremy its appreciated

Even if it is different systems, I would think the rules of what a manager is programmed to do would translate to any system?

@fjs080850 said in What would it cost to run a solitaire single season replay with the game accumulating stats??:

Just to double-check — I need to buy the season, and if I want to play it as an as-played season, I also need the Replay Unlock, right? So it’s $50 total?" And APBA Go keeps the stats??

Pretty much.

Can playoffs and a World Series be played at the end of the season? I understand that if the teams making the playoffs differ from the actual historical results, the lineups would need to be created manually. However, is it still possible to run playoffs at the season’s end?

There is no automated post-season functionality.

But you can pair up custom teams and play them against each other, and put the game results in a generic Collection. You’d have to keep track of the schedule etc. manually but you could play through a World Series fairly easily. You would also need to purchase the League Tools Unlock ($25) to have access to custom teams and lineups outside Replays. Or subscribe.

Thanks,
Jeremy

@APBA-GO-Jeremy win=10 pts., loss=5 pts.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy

Thank you! I appreciate the help.

I’ve had very little success with Malcolm or Pedro. They both make very strange decisions. I often play with older seasons and none of the pitchers have the relief pitcher *. Even if I make all the starters unavailable, it doesn’t help. Malcolm is notorious for picking any random player, such as an outfielder, as a relief pitcher, even if that player doesn’t have a pitching grade. Pedro tends to leave starters in even when they are getting shelled, or will pull the starter early and let the reliever pitch 6 or 7 innings. I’ve had Pedro let a reliever give up 5 runs and not pull him. For now, I’ve given up on the auto-managers and continue to hope they get fixed one day.
