@TSBL Yes, but at least, the AI says you’re a “sophisticated” history geek…

expanded modern stats

Boston massacred the A’s pitching, winning the first two games of their key series in come from behind fashion, 4-3 and 7-5… with the A’s touching Smoky Joe Wood for 5 runs, but still losing… Wood himself started a 3 run rally in the 7th that gave the Sox the win. Jack Coombs spun a 3 hit shutout to salvage game 3 and keep the As in 3, but their chances to move up have dropped greatly.

@ddruk It’s on the to do list.

Thanks,

@Steve_Admin okay sounds good! thank you!

@wildfire2099 thanks! Ive been playing for a week and realized they have most of them in the book. However it took some time to learn them. Ive already added the optional rules aswell and im looking for a deeper experience so I found the master edition secondhand. This game is awesome but I need it to be a little more involved than the basic game. But the shipping prices at the apba website are insane right now.

the basic game letters are a range on numbers from the advanced game. so A&C would be 20-24.

@TSBL Logically, it should be all runners. But maybe at that level, in that league, it’s only the winning run counts. Who knows?

okay cool thank you! that answers both of my questions. My fielding rating was too high for both teams. And after playing apba go I was pretty sure there was only a dice roll for the batter. Thanks for explaining that now I can get into the game!

Where do you go to start a trade transaction on the website? Please refresh my memory, it’s been awhile.

I’ve seen some of the footage. It looks great! We were down there getting footage for our documentary and it was such a blast to meet so many great people.

@TSBL I think I’m familiar with this issue.

When the substitution screens pops up for that second time, where it shows the position, click that and choose what position you want to put him.

I hope that fixes what your experiencing…

Congrats to Mr. Toth! He is a huge GO player and guest on this week’s APBA Podcast.
