Over 10 months between games, I need to step up the pace.
Final from Candlestick Park:
Giants are still ahead of their actual record in my replay, 65-43 in real life, 69-39 in my replay.

1971: Giants Replay, Game 107
After 3 months, a baseball game!
Final from Candlestick Park:
Boyhood idol Chris Speier had a great day, going 2-for-4 with 2 home runs and 5 RBIs.
Because I had to sim the season up to when I switched over from Ballscore to Digital Diamond Baseball, the actual record for the Giants is 68-39 in my replay (64-43 in real life).

Major Baseball Replay Change
Since I’ve switched over to Digital Diamond Baseball as my score card, and it’s now possible to simulate (computer plays both sides) any given game, I’ve decided to change the format of how I run my replays as follows.
I will now play the opening game of any given series and simulate the rest of the games in the series. This equates to me playing roughly 1/3rd of a season’s worth of games for a single team, or about 56 games.
For example, in a four-game series against the Cincinnati Reds from July 21-July 23, I will play out the July 21st game and the computer will simulate the remaining 3 games, including the Sunday doubleheader.
This may give me time to actually finish some of these replays that I’ve started years ago, and start/finish ones that I had planned.
For now I’ll try this schedule with:
- 1969 Seattle Pilots season replay
- 1971 San Francisco Giants season replay
- 1977 San Francisco Giants season replay
If they work out I’ll add other baseball replays as well.
I’m not sure how I’m going to move forward with the 1921 NY Giants and the 1917 MLB replays, neither are available in Digital Diamond Baseball.
Stay tuned!

Let’s Go Racin’ Boys!
It’s the start of the NASCAR season this weekend, so my plan is to run at least one SCRAM 2013 race on Sunday, and perhaps a couple more during the week.
I’ve said elsewhere that I want to play something more consistently, and Red White & Blue Racin’ is game that I can run a tabletop race in a reasonable amount of time, probably quicker than an average baseball simulation, and definitely much faster than a non-express soccer/hockey/football game simulation.
I have about 14 races left in the 2013 SCRAM season, which can be finished in a couple of months, if I can manage to run 2 races a week.
As for baseball, I believe I have about 64 games left in the 1971 SF Giants season, and more than that (90) in the 1921 NY Giants season. If I can finish one of those by the end of the year I’ll call it a big success.
That would require me to play about six 1971 games a month and/or nine 1921 games a month.
So those are my tabletop sports goals for the rest of 2025. We’ll see how much I can get accomplished.
Stay tuned!
