The 1978 Yankees went from a contender to a .500 team after being swept by the 1951 Yankees in their six game series. The '78 Yankees are now 36-36 while the '51 Yankees move up to 47-37.

The '51 Yankees jumped out to a 9-0 lead in Game One and held off a furious rally by the '78 Yankees for a 9-7 win. Yogi Berra hit two homeruns with four RBI in Game Two for a 7-1 win. Phil Rizzuto went 5-5 in Game Three and scored two runs for a 9-3 win. Game Four featured an epic meltdown by '78 Yankee closer Goose Gossage. After Roy White gave the '78 Yankees a 4-2 lead in the top of the 9th on a pinch hit two-run homer, Gossage committed an error to start the bottom of the 9th, gave up a single, and walked four of the next five batters; thus he walked in all three runs including the walk-off walk to Gene Woodling for a 5-4 win for the '51 Yankees. Jack Kramer scattered six hits for a shutout in a 1-0 win in Game Five. Mickey Mantle drove in three runs in a 4-2 Game Six win to complete the sweep.

Berra is hitting .287 with 17 home runs and 70 RBI. Rizzuto is hitting .276 with 16 stolen bases. Kramer’s shutout in his first start reduced his ERA to 3.05. Vic Raschi is 13-5 with a 2.20 ERA. Ed Lopat is 10-4 with a 2.69 ERA. Allie Reynolds is 6-3 with a 2.87 ERA.

Reggie Jackson hit .394 in the series to raise his average to .330 with 21 home runs, 53 RBI, 53 runs scored, and a 1.008 OPS. Mickey Rivers raised his average to .316 with 20 stolen bases. Graig Nettles raised his average to .289 with 13 home runs. Gossage’s ERA ballooned to 3.60; he is 0-4 with 22 saves. The '78 Yankees will battle with the 51-45 1923 Yankees in the next series.

@APBA-GO-Jeremy
Thank you Jeremy!

copy and paste to a blank excel spreadsheet ~ I resize all the column widths to 5 (Format_Column Width_5_Ok) so that you can view all the data without changing the View from 100%

I agree now have had that affect the outcome twice in the bottom of the 8th inning

@BogotaBrave Yikes…

That is an excellent question, that I counter with something tangential and mostly unrelated. Look! The dice rolls from six ‘games’ based on your criteria. There are some wide swings, relatively speaking, with some results getting hit 6 times in a game. But it’s never the same… 36, 12, 61. Sixty-six gets a lot of hits, except game 4, where it’s a bad day to need a home run I guess.

To try and provide some color data for your question, let me show some results for 10x rolls:

A decade or so back I wrote an application that simulated our big country-wide lottery (not as big as powerball, say, but I always thought it would be nice to win ;) ), and I had a bunch of work acquaintances try it. There were (relatively) quite a few free tickets, $2 wins, a fair number of $5s and a good amount of $20s but things tapered off quickly. And no one won the ‘easiest’ $20,000 prize - even me, who macroed my own app to play it hundreds of times trying to win it. People thought I rigged it. :)

Numbers are mean.

@Wchatrison355 Hi. You should fill out the support form so we can investigate those games.

Thanks,
Jeremy

@Steve_Admin No, but if I can find it, I will. (It was a “few” games ago.)

@BogotaBrave Hi! This we WERE able to reproduce. We’re working on a fix.

Thanks,
Jeremy

Note: AFAIK the setting was switched to on

I agree it would be nice for instructions on how these options work. I play both MG and BG but some of the options aren’t explained. It took me a while to learn what the step play referred to

@Bumper37 Hi! If you’re using the Replay feature, click the ‘View Collection’ button to be taken to the Collection for that Replay.

Any games played in the Replay will be available there, and the stats will aggregate.

If you are playing through a season manually, make sure all the games are assigned to the same Collection.

View the Collection using the Collection link on the left side menu to see aggregated stats.

Thanks,

@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!!!

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…
