1985: Dwight Gooden Replay, Game 1

Posted on by

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.

Missing?

You know you have too many seasons when you misplace not one, but two sets of MLB National League season cards.

I can’t seem to find the 1978 and 1985 NL card sets for Inside Pitch baseball.  I last played with them in September of last year.  The 1988 NL set is all I found in the Inside Pitch game box.

Ah well, they’ll turn up eventually, I suppose.

Gooden ’85 – Update

I spent way too much time Monday night trying to get the damn BallScore/BallStat programs to get this replay back together, but it simply wouldn’t do it.

The last issue that I had after figuring out how to force the played games scoresheets to export was that it kept showing the Phillies with 2 wins even though they had only played and won 1 game against the Mets.

I tried removing just that game via BallStat, and when it was reimported, it gave the Mets a 2-3 record even though this was game 3 of the replay.

Arrrgh.

So I went and reset the league and then completely deleting it and the auto backup from my PC.  A new 1985 Dwight Gooden replay has been created, rosters have been imported and adjusted with starting lineups, and tonight I will once again attempt to play 1-2 games from this replay.

Stay tuned!

Gooden ’85

BallScore still refuses to play nice with this replay.

I replayed the first two games and they were not compiled correctly, both games treated as the first game of the replay.  The Mets (and Gooden) won one and lost one, yet the box scores showed the Mets and Gooden as 0-1 and 1-0 in each.

The records should have show 1-1 for both in the second game.

I’m not sure what I should do at this point.  Abandon this replay?  Is there something I’m missing in the settings for this one?

I know the program is still working correctly, the last game I played for the 1971 Giants replay was the 7th game, and the Giants have a 5-2 record.

Very frustrating.

Slow

Muddling my way through a game using Inside Pitch.

I’ve been playing so much Ball Park Baseball that it’s hard to adjust to another game, but it’s slowly coming back to me.

I actually did a ‘save game’ with the BallScore app because it was taking me so long to play.  I may stop again tonight.

Arrgh.  These games are supposed to be for me to relax, not feel like work.

Stay tuned.

Now, where were we?

This is a new beginning for this particular site, so I’m not sure if I’ll post previous stuff, or just continue on from where the last site left off.

Which would mean these replays:

  • 1921 NY Giants season (Payoff Pitch Baseball)
  • 1967 San Francisco Giants season (Ball Park Baseball)
  • 1967 Denver Broncos season (Second Season)
  • 1974 John D’Acquisto season (History Maker Baseball)
  • 1979 Winston Cup Racing Series (Red White & Blue Racing)
  • 1984 Dwight Gooden Rookie season (Replay Baseball)
  • 1985 Doc Gooden Cy Young season (Inside Pitch Baseball)
  • 1990 Harbaugh ‘What if?’ scenario (Second Season)

These were the ones I was focusing on before the other site was hacked, so I’ll be playing these soon enough.

Stay tuned!
