Alpharetta has fixed it! It should be there now.

Only every two hours???

The 1938 Yankees and 1958 Yankees split their six game series. The '38 Yankees stayed 14 games over .500 at 31-17 while the '58 Yankees remained eight games under at 56-64.

The '58 Yankees looked like they were going to take this series as they won three of the first four games. In Game Two, Mickey Mantle went 2-3 with a double, homerun, three RBI, and three runs scored in a 9-2 win. In Game Three, Norm Siebern went 3-4 with a double, his 13th triple of the season and three RBI in a 7-3 win. Yogi Berra belted two homeruns in Game Four for another 9-2 win. The '38 Yankees came back to win the final two games 7-3 and 3-2. In the finale, Myril Hoag hit a walk-off RBI single in the 9th.

Bill Dickey leads the '38 Yankees in hitting at .330 with 17 homeruns, 55 RBI, and a 1.100 OPS. Joe Dimaggio is hitting .315 with 13 homeruns and a .987 OPS. Lou Gehrig leads the team in runs scored with 46 despite hitting just .220. Lefty Gomez has completed half of his 12 starts; he is 6-3 with a 2.31 ERA.

Mantle hit .556 in the series with two homeruns and eight RBI to raise his overall average to .273 with 29 homeruns, 73 RBI, 82 runs scored, and a .960 OPS. Whitey Ford lost both of his starts to fall to 9-8 with a 2.72 ERA. The '58 Yankees will take on the 36-18 1932 Yankees in the next series.

If you go to the APBA Games site, search the Master Game, and there is a document with the Game Instructions that explains the game in detail.

Remember, this isn’t APBA Baseball for Windows. The Millers grew up playing APBA and knew the game. The development team members are developers and will be true to the rules in a much more literal sense. Where BBW may allow a Hit & Run with an N or R runner on 1st, the MG Rules and the Steal Allowance Chart may not allow that. Little things like that will be limiting from a baseball perspective, but more in line with the actual Master Game.

So today we did some fixes for the issues that were reported on the weekend, but they didn’t get through testing today so I think they will be deployed tomorrow morning.

In other news, very highly likely 2025 by or on Thursday.

Something can still go wrong but it’s close.

Thanks,

So I have now completed the three triple-elimination brackets:

1970’s Division:
Champion - '71 A’s
Runner-up - '78 Red Sox

Early 80’s Division:
Champion - '83 White Sox
Runner-up - '83 Orioles

Late 80’s Division:
Champion - '85 Blue Jays
Runner-up - '85 Yankees

Interestingly, all six teams to advance are AL teams. The eleven NL teams in the tournament have all been eliminated.

The three champs will now advance to a mini round-robin, lasting six games.
The two top teams of that will meet in a semi-final.
The third-place team will face the winner of the six-game runner-up round-robin.
(The two bottom teams in the runner-up bracket will be eliminated.)

Updating some overall tournament stats after 66 games:
The tournament BA is still .227, but the ERA is up to 3.86, while the Fielding % has climbed to .984.

The 1912 Red Sox start out 6-0 with a 2nd sweep… this time over the 1909 Tigers. Tris Speaker is leading the way on offense with an OPS over 1000 while the Smoky Joe Wood and Tom O’Brien have 2 complete game wins each

Was pretty easy. In this case, I simply printed off three 16-team double-elimination brackets off printyourbrackets dot com. I just used blind draws to fill out each bracket, drawing the team names out of a cup. For each game, I would toss a coin to determine the home team. Then would play a solitaire game while doing my best to help each team win. Kept stats on Collections.

@TSBL I’ll add it to the list.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Hi Jeremy, I was noticing in Custom Teams (might be everywhere I didn’t check that the batting Characteristics might not be right - maybe not picking up the +'s and making them minuses? Noticed a bunch of players where both “sides” are negative…

Thank you! Hope yours was as well.

HI. The Basic game does not manage infield in/out. You have to do it manually when presented the opportunity.

Thanks,
Jeremy

@Steve_Admin Thanks Steve! Yes, seems great even on Google now, too! Happy Thanksgiving!

Tim

i agree t its simple logic

I DID just think of a temporary fix for the ERA problem… how about adding runs/game to the stat block? That’s something that will still have value when its fixed and would be a great ERA replacement for now until its sorted
