The 1978 Yankees and the 1961 Yankees split their six game series. The '78 Yankees remain six games over .500 at 21-15 while the '61 Yankees stay eight games under .500 at 50-58.

After losing the first game 4-3, the '61 Yankees won the next three games. Johnny Blanchard’s eighth inning homerun gave them a 4-3 win in Game Two. Yogi Berra went 3-5 with a double, homer and four RBI to power a 9-3 win in Game Three. In Game Four, they trailed 5-3 in the eighth until Elston Howard’s solo homerun cut the deficit to one in the 8th inning, and Bobby Richardson’s RBI single off Goose Gossage sent the game into extras. Roger Maris then hit a two-run walk-off homerun in the 10th for a thrilling 7-5 win; the loss spoiled Roger Guidry’s brilliant start in which he struck out 14 batters in eight innings. The '78 Yankees won the final two games to even the series. In Game Five, Mickey Mantle made two costly errors in the same inning for the '61 Yankees which led to two runs in a 3-1 defeat. Dick Tidrow pitched a four-hit shutout in the final game, a 6-0 victory. Graig Nettles was a perfect 3-3 at the plate with two doubles and three runs scored.

Mantle leads the '61 Yankees in hitting at .326 with 42 homeruns, 85 RBI, 99 runs scored, and a 1.143 OPS. Howard is right behind at .323 with 27 homeruns, 75 runs scored, and a .922 OPS. Maris is hitting .245 with 45 homeruns, 97 RBI, 93 runs scored, and a .979 OPS. Bill Stafford picked up his 10th win in this series; overall, he is 10-5 with a 3.70 ERA.

Reggie Jackson cooled off in this series for the '78 Yankees as his average dropped to .304 with 11 homeruns 28 RBI, and 32 runs scored. After the shutout, Tidrow is now 3-1 with a 3.34 ERA. Guidry has struck out 73 batters in 64 innings. The player with the next highest strikeout total is 7-0 Ed Figueroa with 19. Gossage blew another save in this series but saved two others to give him 14 for the season. The '78 Yankees will battle the 26-28 1941 Yankees in the next series.

I had Carlton pitch a no hitter and lost in 10 inning 2-0 both unearned runs in top 10th he walked 6 but no hits

That works too. Thank you.

@wabillk Hi! The current iteration of APBA GO is based on the Basic game, and so there is no calculation to determine chance to steal. Stollen bases are determined primarily by the player’s card roll result values. My understanding is that when a card is created for a player by the Alpharetta team, some calculations are used but card values can be influenced by team performance in that season… so there is both statistics in play, and a bit of APBA magic.

In the Master Game, which we are currently developing, a more complex method of determining chance to steal is used.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Thank You!

@TSBL So right now the search is actually under the roster, and it does work, with minor display issues. But I was talking to the dev today and we agree it is not a great implementation (sometimes you can get stuck scrolling the roster instead of the page, so you never see the search). We’re going to keep working on it and will change it in the next few days.

Ok, thanks for the reply and update

Thanks Randy. I will try that.

Ok that’s great info! Thanks. The action bar issue will be resolved shortly.

Thanks again!
Jeremy

Was curious, so I set up a solitaire game on my iPad.
Using a Safari browser, I am getting the same issue described above (with icons covering the player’s card in lower left)…

The issue is fixed when I switch to a Chrome browser (again on the iPad). However, that results in the names of the players no longer being visible in those little red and blue bars that appear on the playing field…

Weird.

ok thanks I’ll keep that in mind in the future

@APBA-GO-Jeremy Perfect - thank you for the prompt reply and detailed response. I appreciate it, Really enjoying the APBA GO replay module. I’m a little over half way into my 1972 Pittsburgh Pirates replay. Kudos!

@jnoga Hi!

Not at this time.

We use the lineup selection screen to create and save lineups, and that requires a game to be generated.

Thanks,
Jeremy

@RobNPR No, not in the Basic rules.

There are examples of ‘house rules’ where people have created something, but as far as we know, nothing official.

From the manual:

Hi! It probably means that your outfielders have an OF position assigned to them, rather than LF/CF/RF.

If you make the assignments, it will become valid.

Thanks,
Jeremy

@APBA-GO-Jeremy
For additional Information there is an email sent to customer support on 3/4/25 with the title of APBAGO 1950 season replay with the transactions in red are the players whose cards are not where they should be for 1950 replay.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy Hi Jeremy, yeah I had sent that when two tries to send it through the normal GO SUPPORT tab hadn’t gone through. May be a glitch on my end. Thanks for the reply.
