I would like to be able to have sim a game with 2 micro managers… I tried it once and it

A Micro Manager that managers dead ball era style would also be great.

The 1928 Yankees defeated the 2009 Yankees four games to two to improve their record to 53-25, second place by winning percentage. The 2K9 Yankees fell to 65-73 with three more series left to play.

The '28 Yankees won Game One 4-1; Babe Ruth hit a two-run homer and Tony Lazzeri went 4-4 with a double, two runs scored, and a RBI. Despite giving up home runs to Mark Texeira, Alex Rodriguez, Jorge Posada, Robinson Cano, and Johnny Damon, the '28 Yankees won Game Two 13-7. After dropping Game Three 6-4, the '28 Yankees won another slugfest 10-8. Lou Gehrig and Mark Koenig had three RBI each. They clinched the series in Game Five with a 14-3 win; Earle Combs, Lazzeri, and Cedric Durst each tallied three RBI. The 2K9 Yankees won the final game 7-2; Rodriguez went 3-5 with a home run and four RBI.

Lazzeri hit .483 with nine RBI in the series to raise his average to .366 with 11 home runs, 11 triples, 70 RBI, 71 runs scored, and a 1.035 OPS. Combs raised his average to .339 with 11 triples, 91 runs scored, and a .956 OPS. Gehrig is hitting .334 with 13 home runs, 81 RBI, 62 runs scored, and a 1.027 OPS. Ruth is hitting .316 with 31 home runs, 85 RBI, 93 runs scored, and a 1.188 OPS. George Pipgras and Waite Hoyt remain undefeated at 13-0 and 12-0 respectively.

Derek Jeter leads the 2K9 Yankees in hitting at .288 with 19 home runs, 31 stolen bases, and 90 runs scored. Cano is hitting .285 with 25 home runs. Rodriguez is hitting .267 with 33 home runs, 111 RBI, and 112 runs scored. Posada is hitting .265 with 27 home runs and 105 RBI. C.C. Sabathia split his two starts to run his record to 17-11 with a 3.54 ERA. The 2K9 Yankees will battle the 47-25 1927 Yankees in the next series.

The micromanagers are using the provided stats to make decisions. There are extreme circumstances that happen in the context of a full season, but when making decision points for Micromanagers, we look at individual games and historical decisions. We haven’t yet provided micromanagers that are tailored to an individual team, much less in a specific season environment. - Steve

@BigDog1953 are you using the Replay feature or are you doing your own thing?

In addition to the usual fixes and whatnot, we’ve been doing some work on optimizations of baseball under the hood.

This patch also introduces some changes to Collections to better accommodate very large Collections. You will notice the games and standings tab load when you first access a Collection, and clicking on batting, pitching, etc. triggers an additional load of data for only that tab. Once loaded, the data remains available on that tab and there are no further loads. This will decrease the amount of time needed to get into a large Collection, and reduce the time it takes to see the data you need. In a smaller Collection, the changes will barely be noticeable. We will be making further adjustments to Collections in our next release, including corrections to the way averages are calculated in total fields, and more.

We also undertook a general optimization pass on database queries used across the application. Currently under scrutiny are changes to the processes used for Autoplay games. A database cleanup will occur over the next few days where unnecessary records are removed from the database. And more optimizations will be included in the next patch.

This optimization and efficiency work is being carried out to prepare Baseball for its eventual integration into the new apbago.com platform, and will take a few releases to complete.

As always, please let us know if anything changes (negatively) and affects the things you normally do with the app.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Basic (solitaire).

@TSBL Yes, but at least, the AI says you’re a “sophisticated” history geek…

Boston massacred the A’s pitching, winning the first two games of their key series in come from behind fashion, 4-3 and 7-5… with the A’s touching Smoky Joe Wood for 5 runs, but still losing… Wood himself started a 3 run rally in the 7th that gave the Sox the win. Jack Coombs spun a 3 hit shutout to salvage game 3 and keep the As in 3, but their chances to move up have dropped greatly.

Tris Speaker had a huge series, raising his average to .336 (2nd), leads the league with an amazing 16 doubles and is now 2nd with 25 RBIs… one 3-run home run away from triple crown position.

With 3 series (9 games) remaining, The Cubs lead Boston by a single game, with the As 6 back.

@ddruk It’s on the to do list.

Thanks,
Jeremy

@Steve_Admin okay sounds good! thank you!

@wildfire2099 thanks! Ive been playing for a week and realized they have most of them in the book. However it took some time to learn them. Ive already added the optional rules aswell and im looking for a deeper experience so I found the master edition secondhand. This game is awesome but I need it to be a little more involved than the basic game. But the shipping prices at the apba website are insane right now.

the basic game letters are a range on numbers from the advanced game. so A&C would be 20-24.

@TSBL Logically, it should be all runners. But maybe at that level, in that league, it’s only the winning run counts. Who knows?

okay cool thank you! that answers both of my questions. My fielding rating was too high for both teams. And after playing apba go I was pretty sure there was only a dice roll for the batter. Thanks for explaining that now I can get into the game!

Where do you go to start a trade transaction on the website? Please refresh my memory, it’s been awhile.
