@mariner, my personal experience, so take with a big grain of salt. The only difference I see, is he stays with his pitchers a little longer. But he seems to have a big problem with letting his pitcher bat, when he’s just gonna put in a new pitcher next inning anyway (that grinds my gears). Support told me it’s because there is no “look ahead” planning.

@mariner Maybe. Alpharetta needs to optimize some processes in order to keep up with the ‘real time’ nature of the data.

If they do, we’ll do it again.

Thanks,
Jeremy

@APBA-GO-Jeremy understand. 8 characters would be great start!

WORLD BASEBALL CLASSIC Final

Can’t match Ohtani vs. Trout but I did have a thrilling finale for my tournament.

The Dominican Republic, on a roll since its stunning opening game loss to Israel, faced USA Metro, fresh off an upset win over USA West in the U.S. bracket. Johnny Cueto on the hill for the DR with Metro calling on steady southpaw John Tudor.

Metro got on the board in the second with Craig Biggio doubling home Rico Petrocelli.

Back-to-back doubles by Manny Ramirez and Vladimir Guerrero evened things in the top of the fourth.

The bottom of the fourth got wacky. Alex Rodriguez led off with a double and Petrocelli singled him home. Ken Singleton walked to put runners at first and second. Cueto proceeded to hit THREE straight batters — Biggio, Derek Jeter and Mike Trout) to force in two more runs giving Metro a 4-1 lead.

Things stayed quiet until the ninth when David Ortiz hit a three-run homer off Orel Hershiser to tie the game. Pedro Martinez retired Metro 1-2-3 in the bottom half of the inning to send the game into extras.

In the bottom of the tenth with one out, Singleton blasted a home run to right giving USA Metro the WBC Championship. Singleton hit .476 with 3 HRs and five RBI in the tournament and was named MVP for his heroics, edging out USA West’s Jeff Kent (.348-4-10) and the DR’s Ortiz (.250-4-9).

Hiroki Kuroda of Asia threw the most scoreless innings (14), six pitchers recorded two wins (including Metro’s Hershsier and John Candelaria), Joaquin Benoit of the DR posted the most saves (2) and Fernando Valenzuela of Mexico led all pitchers with 17 strikeouts.

It would be nice to atleast have the batting throwing ninfo, defensive and pitcher grades displayed like league manager in BBW. Maybe batting/ throwing side, AB/innings, g, gs etc so we can see some basic info. Maybe view saved lineups etc.

@wildfire2099 I noticed that as well. Would love to have the divisions separated. Don’t know if there’s a way though.

Hi,

Contact support and they’ll take care of it.

Thanks,
Jeremy

@APBABASEBALLFAN Fridge is correct. The year matters.
Let’s compare two pitchers from the GTOP sets: One from a good hitter’s season (the 1930 Cardinals, GTOP-4), and one from a good pitcher’s season (1968 Tigers, GTOP-2).
Over approx the same number of innings pitched, Sy Johnson (Cardinals) had an ERA of 4.65, while Joe Sparma (Tigers) had an ERA of 3.70. Sparma’s ERA was significantly better. Yet, both are rated C’s. In fact, Johnson is a much more attractive C-YZ than Sparma’s C-W.
Some will argue that’s why they don’t like to pit teams from different era’s. And they’ve got a point, I suppose. Personally, the beauty of APBA is being able to play teams from 1930 & '68 against each other… and enjoy it for what it is.

Did a little more trial by error and figured it out.

How about replay stats during game play?

Understand Jeremy! Thanks for answering!

yea no offense but thats useless data

@BigDog , it is already there. “Re-roll rain outs”.Screenshot_20230219_090415_Chrome.jpg

The Little Pink Machine lead the league with a 52-20 record and got the top spot in the Cap Anson Division. The winner of the last 2 championships the Baltimore Black Sox made their 4th consecutive playoff appearance and faced off the Texas Boxcars who are back in the playoffs after missing the post season in 1933. Baltimore ousted Texas in 5 games. Turning to face Little Pink in the Anson finals, The Machines bounced Baltimore in 6 games to put an end to their hopes of a three-peat. Over in the Buck Ewing division the Kville Blaze lead the division by 5 games over the Pioneer Valley Giants and the Philadelphia Freedom. Pioneer and Philly battled but Pioneer was victorious in 4 games but The Blaze burned through the Valley in 5 games to reach the championship. The Machine was rolling along before the Blaze caught fire and clinched the world series in 6 games.

Congrats to Bill the Chill and the Kville Blaze.
