I seem to find a new thing about this game whenever I start a new project.  A chart that I should have been looking at more often is what I usually find.

This time I’m actually taking the time to check the solitaire strategy charts which I should have been using, but didn’t.

It’s mostly because I’m playing games in 1917, the Deadball Era, where most runs were scored by what SF Giants broadcasters call the Ground Attack: bunts, steals, simply putting the ball in play and not relying on the longball.  I need these charts to keep me honest, and truth be told, I don’t call for most of the regular Ground Attack strategy, like sacrifice bunts or hit and run plays.  Heck, I hardly call for a steal of second, but that changes now.

Through two and a half innings, the Indians and Tigers are tied 0-0 with 1 hit for each team.  It’s been mostly ground outs, with one ball leaving the infield for a fly out.

Bottom line is that I have to adjust my style of play for 1917 baseball.

Stay tuned!
