The 1950 Yankees beat the 2009 Yankees four games to two in their six game series to improve their record to 38-28. The 2K9 Yankees fell further below .500 at 41-49.

The '50 Yankees won the first four games of the series. Cliff Mapes made the most of his DH assignment in the first two games. He went 2-4 with a homerun and three RBI in an 8-6 win in Game One and 2-5 with a mash and five RBI in Game Two for a 12-6 win. They backed up their 12-run onslaught in Game Three with another one in Game Four for a 12-5 win; Jerry Coleman was the hero this time, going 3-4 with a double and five RBI. After losing 3-1 in Game Four, the 2K9 Yankees salvaged a couple of wins to finish the series. Jorge Posada broke a 2-2 tie in the 9th with a solo homerun for a 3-2 win in Game Five. Andy Pettitte pitched a five hit shutout in the final game for a 5-0 win.

Mapes hit .385 with eight RBI in the series to raise his overall average to .272 and nearly doubling his RBI total to 19. Joe Dimaggio is hitting .318 with 13 homeruns, 67 RBI, 52 runs scored, and a .950 OPS. Phil Rizzuto is hitting .299 with 54 runs scored. Yogi Berra is hitting .292 with 56 RBI. Joe Page picked up his 10th save to go with a 2-2 record and 2.45 ERA.

Derek Jeter is back as the 2K9 Yankees hitting leader at .283 with 13 homeruns, 57 runs scored, and 19 stolen bases. Posada is hitting .282 with 21 homeruns, 77 RBI, and a .913 OPS. Pettite’s shutout improved his record to 6-7 with a 4.18 ERA. The 2K9 Yankees will take on the 52-38 1937 Yankees in the next series.

Oh ok got it.

Thanks

I love the MG version. My hope in the future is that they update the play by play text, so that it has more personality like they have in the Basic Game version.

I think that was his Nick Saban “I’m not going to do it so stop asking!” response. :)

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
