The Table Top Sports Games of Chris Saguisag
Last game before the All-Star Break.
Final from Dodger Stadium:
Rookie Bernie Williams pinch hits a game winning grand slam in the top of the 12th.
The Giants go into the All-Star break with a 56-34 record one win better than they were in real life.
After the All-Star break, the Giants go to Cincinnati for a series against the Reds.
Stay tuned!
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.
I’d been using BallScore for quite a while, still do, but for some reason the program keeps messing up whenever I try starting a short replay of Doc Gooden’s 1985 Cy Young season.
So I’m trying out Digital Diamond Baseball and it’s Board Game Companion instead.
Report coming later, I hope.
Stay tuned!
