1985: Dwight Gooden Replay, Game 1

As I said in the previous post, I have tried to start this shorter replay using BallScore, but it never calculated games correctly, so I decided to try Digital Diamond’s Boardgame Companion, and it worked pretty well.

The game gave me a running play-by-play commentary, which was nice.  I had a few moments of having to look stuff up, specifically how to enter plays into the game and relearning Inside Pitch Baseball.

I also had to figure out how to replace pitchers after pinch hitting for them, and after the game I corrected the team names and logos.

I’ll probably run this replay with this program, and my other existing replays using BallScore.

The boxscores come out about the same as in BallScore.

The result was the same for Gooden (no decision) but Jack Clark changed the outcome with a 2-run blast in the 11th inning.
