For the second straight series, the 2009 Yankees lost five of six, this time to the 1999 Yankees. The '99 Yankees improved their record to 43-35 while the 2K9 Yankees dropped below .500 at 35-37.

The '99 Yankees won the first three games, scoring double figures in two of them. In Game Two, Joe Girardi went 2-5 with a double, homerun, three RBI, and two runs scored in an 11-2 win. They led 12-2 in Game Three and held off a furious rally by the 2K9 Yankees ,who scored nine runs in the 8th and 9th innings, and escaped with a 12-11 win. Paul O’Neill hammered two homers scored four runs and drove in three RBI. After the 2K9 Yankees won Game Four 7-4, the '99 Yankees won the final two games 9-3 and 7-3. Scott Brosius went 4-4 with a homer, two doubles, three RBI, and three runs scored in Game Five. Game Six was determined by the 3rd inning when they scored five runs, capped off by a three run homerun by Derek Jeter to give them a 6-3 lead, a lead they would not let get away.

Jeter leads the '99 Yankees in hitting at .335 with 10 homeruns, 25 doubles, 60 runs scored, and a .951 OPS. O’Neill is hitting .322 with 53 RBI. Bernie Williams is hitting .305 with 21 homeruns, 72 RBI, 51 runs scored, and a .971 OPS. Orlando Hernandez won his start to improve his record to 11-5 with a 3.01 ERA.

Robinson Cano has taken over the team lead in hitting for the 2K9 Yankees at .294 with 10 homeruns. Jorge Posada drove in five more RBI to give 63 season while hitting .292 with 17 homeruns. The 2K9 Yankees will try to end the slide when they compete with the 39-33 1956 Yankees in the next series.

Sounds good!

@RobNPR I have no idea.

My team doesn’t make the cards.

Thankfully.

Vinman,
“Would there be a reason to play both?” - This would be a Brewster’s Millions situation - Where you had to use up so much money in a limited amount of time. Otherwise, I can’t think of a reason to play stratmax, but this is an APBA forum. - Steve

I did use the 50’s Clarence micro manager. not to inundate the space with tons of numbers but the basics team wise:
Actual/Replay numbers hitting wise Actual/Replay: Ave. .266/267, Runs. 775/774, HR. 221/217, SB. 45/41, RBI. 734/758, BB. 528/525, Hits. 1406/1401, OPS. 777/761. Uncannily accurate!!!

Pitching Actual/Replay: W/L. 91-63. 96/59. ERA. 3.85/3.44, CG. 47/100, K’s. 653/775, HR. 141/132, BB. 458/392, Not nearly as accurate, but still only 5 more wins.

A couple of interesting individual results: Actual/Replay
Klu: AB. 572/574, Ave. 305/302, HR. 39/35, Bi. 102/102. OPS. 914/898. Pretty amazing!!
Robinson: AB. 576/572, Ave. 285/290, HR. 32/38, BI. 99/83, OPS. 895/936
Most of the other hitters were very comparable. I was very impressed with the accuracy of the offensive numbers across the board.

Pitching: Actual/ Replay. Not as accurate in many cases.

Brooks Lawrence. IP. 219/243, W/L. 19/10, 19/10!!!, ERA. 3.99/2.70
Joe Nuxhall. IP. 201/254, W/L. 13-11/. 20-10 ??? ERA. 3.72/3.15
John Klippstein. IP. 211/210. W-L. 12-11. 14-13. ERA. 4.09/3.31
Freeman. IP. 109/131, W-L. 14-5. 7-2, Saves. 18/9, ERA. 3.40/2.74
The other pitchers were also less accurate than the hitters but not ridiculous.

thanks guys

@TSBL Correct, only pitchers with an actual game started may start a game at pitcher.

Actually I’m seeing the play it safe button once I got home on my computer I could see it a little more clearly.

Had a big S on it LOL and I swear one time it seemed like a steal happened immediately but maybe not haha

He is a 1b3 in GO and a 1b4 in BBW

Thanks for your help. Ron

Well I kind of understand LOL. He was a borderline guy and with an master electronic update he sort of just fell through the cracks to become an a kind of on a technicality. Sounds like the apba Go cards go by this electronic update and the master rating more than they do the original card basic pitcher rating,? It’s kind of convoluted and hard to follow but I generally got it. Thank you

Makes perfect sense! Thank you

splits look great. anyway to make the catcher throw ratings only appear on master game like the other MG symbols? sorry old purist here hate when the basic game card look changes. but love it when playing master

welcome Ron

@Phillyj1m ok i think I have it figured out now…the “dash” next to the first number (vs LHP) is not a dash…its the minus sign.

@Riverrats88 Hi,

You can make changes to the fielding team when the ball icon is visible in the action bar.

You can make changes to the batting team when the bat icon is visible in the action bar.

That is what usually trips people up.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Gotcha. Thanks.
