New Plan
I want to take a chunk out of all the baseball replays I’m currently running, so I’m going to try to play one game a night for as long as I can do that.
If I were more focused last year I would have finished at least one of these replays.
I have about 3 where I’m close to 40-50 games in, so I’ll start there, though I think I may start the 1986 dual replay that I’ve been itching to play, tonight.
Stay tuned!
1921: Giants Replay, Game 49
Final from Crosley Field:
Giants drop 2 to the Reds.
These were the first two games played with a set of all-new charts from Sideline Strategy, including expanded rare play charts.
The rare play charts may have cost the Giants the second game, as Slim Sallee was tossed after arguing a called ball 4 against Lew Fonseca, who eventually scored the winning run on a sac fly by Bubbles Hargrove.
Next up: the Giants go to St. Louis to play a series against the Cardinals.
Stay tuned!
1921: Giants Replay, Game 48
1921: Giants Replay, Game 47
I should be further along in these replays, considering all the time spent at home. It’s taken exactly 9 months to play this 4 game series between the Giants and Pirates.
Of course I had started this particular replay 7 years ago. Never imagined I would get to the 100th anniversary of the season in question.
Final from Forbes Field:
Giants take 3 of 4 from the Pirates.
Next up: Giants come home to the Polo Grounds to face the Cincinnati Reds.
Stay tuned!
1921: Giants Replay, Game 46
The Return
Baseball resumes tomorrow, July 16th, with a triple-header:
Ball Park Baseball 1971: Game 47, Expos @ Giants
Payoff Pitch Baseball 1921: Game 46, Giants @ Pirates
Inside Pitch 1988, Game 1: Mets @ Expos
I’m replaying the first season replay that I ever attempted, the 1988 New York Mets season, using Inside Pitch. I asked for and got a copy of the latest rules and charts, so I figured that with would be a good time to take that game out for a spin again.
And yes, I plan to get back to the 1917 season soon.
Stay tuned!
Replay Review
I looked over what I had been playing last year, and I found a couple of replays that I started but never continued, like the 1936 World Series.
I’ll get to that one soon. Heck, I set up a Google Sheet to replay the New Giants 1936 season before I realized that I had played game one of the World Series. So I may do both, backwards, finishing the 1936 World Series and then replaying the Giants 1936 season.
As if I didn’t have enough replays started already.
Incidentally, I also set up the San Francisco Giants 1980 season replay in Google Sheets as well. For reasons.
Stay tuned!
