1921 Cleveland Indians Replay.
-
September 29 - October 2
A disappointing end to a disappointing season, as the Indians finish the season with 4 losses to the Chicago White Sox.
The White Sox scored 3 times in the 4th inning of game one, and held on for a 4-2 victory. Dickie Kerr went the distance for Chicago. Allen Sothoron took the loss, giving up 3 runs in 3 1/3 innings. George Uhle finished the game. Eddie Mulligan drove in all 4 runs for Chicago on a triple and a single. Cleveland was held ot just 6 hits, and no batter had more than one hit.
The Sox took game 2 in walk-off fashion as Ray Schalk singled home Eddie Mulligan to secure a 4-3 victory. Red Faber went the distance for the win. George Uhle took the loss, pitching in relief of Stan Coveleski. For the second game in a row, no Cleveland batter had more than one hit.
Game 3 took 11 innings, but the White Sox prevailed by a score of 9-8. This time it was a sac fly by Amos Strunk that allowed Yam Yaryan to score the winning run. Shovel Hodge got the win for Chicago giving up 4 runs in 6 innings of relief. Bob Clark took the loss for Cleveland, working the final 2 innings of the game. Harry Hooper was the offensive star for Chicago, going 4 for 6 with 2 runs and 4 RBI.
The Sox scored 5 times in the first inning and cruised to an 8-5 victory in the season finale. Roy Wilkinson got the win, working the first 5 innings of the game. Doug McSweeny worked the final 4 innings to earn the save. Bernie Henderson gave up 7 runs in 5 innings and took the loss. Amos Strunk and Eddie Collins each had 3 hits for the Sox. Riggs Stephenson and Joe Sewell each had a pair of hits for the Tribe.

The Indians finished 13 games off their actual record from 1921, finishing in 3rd place instead of 2nd. Three teams really did the Indians in during this replay: St. Louis, Boston, and Chicago. Each of those teams were 5 games better against the Indians than they were in the actual 1921 season. (Cleveland beat the Senators and the Tigers one more game than they did in 1921).

Pitching Stat Compare:
Lots of ERA’s higher than actual ERAs in this replay. George Uhle was probably the biggest violator, delivering a full run higher ERA over 238 innings. Stan Coveleski, however performed right in line with his stats.
-
Batting Compare:
The Pitchers weren’t the only ones to underperform. As a team, the Indians had a batting average 22 points lower than their Actual average for 1921. As usual, extra base hit totals were right on, but a lack of singles keeps the batting averages low.

@alecotto75
you replayed every game of the 1921 season gosh how long did that take you because i assume apba go has no autoplay feature ? im also on the fence about buying a season if i did id assume id have to buy collections also for stat keeping -
to be clear, I only replayed the 154 games for the Cleveland Indians. Not the entire schedule. I let the non-cleveland games be the actual results.

@rbstrat115 You can create three Collections for free.
-
@APBA-GO-Jeremy when using 1 collection lets say i buy a season and i want to replay that whole season using all the teams will it collect all the teams from that season beginning to end ? and will it compile the stats as i go along ?
-
@rbstrat115 A Collection is just a bucket that contains whatever games you add to it, so they are very flexible.
-
@APBA-GO-Jeremy can i add as many games as i want like all the stats for a 162 game season with any season ?
-
@rbstrat115 Yes.
