Take one for the team!

Posted on September 18, 2017 by Chris S.

Senators @ A’s, top of the 8th, 4-3 A’s, 1 out, pitcher’s spot up, decide to use a pinch hitter.

Who then gets hit by a pitch, right after I mutter, “c’mon, Dorn, take one for the team!”

Ah, baseball.

Whoops

Posted on September 17, 2017 by Chris S.

Almost replayed 2 games that I had already replayed in my 1917 replay.

Good thing I checked the reports folder and found that the two games were played back in May, but I forgot to record the scores in my spreadsheet.

Crisis averted! Onto the next 4 games (with 1227 to go).

Stay tuned!

A classic example of a total collapse.

Seasons

Posted on September 15, 2017 by Chris S.

I’ve determined that I have less interest in replaying recent baseball seasons.

2017 is no exception, also considering how poorly both the Giants and Mets have done.

As if I didn’t have more than enough in the first place.

And since I’ll be home this weekend, doing ‘prep’ for my colonoscopy next week, maybe I’ll get a chance to play more than I have been.

Stay tuned.

1967: Giants Replay, Game 49

Final from Crosley Field:

Home runs by Tom Haller, Ollie Brown and Jim Ray Hart seal a complete game win for Gaylord Perry.

Felt good to roll a game in this replay, and especially this game system. Ball Park Baseball simply flows smoother and quicker than most of the other games that I play.

Game 50 coming up.

Stay tuned!
