The 1996 Yankees finished their season by dropping four of six games to the 1998 Yankees. The '96 Yankees finished with a 67-89 record while the '98 Yankees improved their record to 28-14, third place by percentage.

The '98 Yankees won a wild 13-10 slugfest in Game One. Tim Raines went 5-6 at the plate with a double, homerun, three runs scored and two RBI. Bernie Williams went 4-5 with a double, three runs scored and two RBI and Tino Martinez hit two doubles and drove in four. The game was a rout as the '98 Yankees held a 12-2 lead before the '96 Yankees rallied with eight runs in the 8th to make it a game. The '98 Yankees won Game Two 4-1; all of their runs were scored on solo homers by Derek Jeter, Paul O’Neill, Jorge Posada, and Chad Curtis. The '96 Yankees won Game Three 9-3, thanks to three errors by the '98 Yankees that led to six unearned runs. O’Neill, Mariano Duncan, and Joe Girardi all had three RBI; O’Neill hit two homers, Duncan was a single short of the cycle, and Girardi hit a Weaver (three-run homer). The '96 Yankees lost two of their final three games but ended with a 6-2 win in their finale.

The 1996 Yankees hit .245 as a team, 23rd best and scored 696 runs for an average of 4.46 runs per game. They hit 158 homeruns. Here are the final numbers for the starting lineup:

David Wells and El Duque Hernandez won both of their starts to maintain almost identical spectacular numbers; Wells is 6-0 with a 2.03 ERA while Hernandez is 5-0 with a 2.05 ERA. Mariano Rivera picked up three saves to give him 12 for the season. The '98 Yankees will take on the 53-61 2009 Yankees in the next series.

@maltesetim-0 I’m guessing the 3D dice are unavailable? Lol. Grayed out.

Hi!
There seems to be some strange behavior in the master game on base advancement anytime the calculation comes out over 36. I “believe” the calculation should be: Hit Value - Arm Rating + Runner Speed. I don’t have the boards, but as there are 36 combinations on 2 dice I assume 1-36 is the ‘roll’ range. So here’s an example

2 OUTS ; CONCEPCION on 2nd. Ken GRIFFEY SINGLES to right:
Result: SINGLE to right: 42 *52/44 *54/46 *56; RF (1B-SS) C (PL-to left: 46 *56/48 *58/50 *60; LF (3B-2B) C) SAC: Batter out; A-1B PO-2B†
Sub-Result: game-cso-2

I assume game-cso-2 is a roll of 2 so first group = Hit Value of 52. Right Fielders Arm is 33 and Runner Speed is 18 = 52-33+18 = 37. This is what the advancement dialogue told me and gives a percentage of 99.00% (Actually should be 37/36 = 102.78%…automatic). But the play by play says:
The defense throws to catch out Dave CONCEPCION
A 5 is rolled against Dave CONCEPCION’s 1
The 1 is 36 less than the calculation and is 2.78% instead of 102.78%
I have seen many examples of this and it’s always when the calculation is OVER 36 it seem to roll against that number - 36.

I had some screenshots, but can’t seem to copy them here. Anyone else notice this? Am I doing something wrong?

Thanks!!!

@APBA-GO-Jeremy Looks like collections are fixed. Thanks for the quick response!

Hey Marc,
It may have something to do with the order selecting subs for the double switch with regard to the pitcher. I would submit a ticket through the Support portal on the left side of the main page. - Steve

thank you…

@Mindblanker Yes, that’s pretty much it.

There is functionality to mark yourself ‘unavailable’ for play, for those who want to do Solitaire or Replays, etc. and that’s controlled through the profile menu in the top right of the screen.

You are available by default, so unless you want to change it, you’ll be good to go.

Thanks,
Jeremy

welcome ron

@Wchatrison355 Yes.

Hey Dom,
The H&R option is based on the Steal/Allowance rating and when the H&R is allowed in the Master Game. I believe the restrictions are on page three of the Master Game insert - Instructions for using the Master Game
Addition to APBA Pro Baseball Board Game™: “The hit-and-run play may not be called if the runner on first has a steal allowance letter (SAL) of R or N. If his steal allowance letter is G, his SSN must be, without adjustment, less than 28. There is no restriction on any other steal allowance letters for the hit-and-run play.” - Steve

If you are experiencing problems using APBA 6.1 on a Win 11 PC, what type of processor are you using?

APBAGo is not compatible with APBA 6.1. APBAGo is browser-based. APBA 6.1 is a Windows Operating System program.

They look a little worn out!

@chaneyhey Your secret is safe with me and the rest of the Internet.

We’ll take a look.

Thanks,
Jeremy
