Play Has Begun!

Due to the long holiday weekend and me having the on-call duties from work (i.e., meaning I was effectively under house arrest for the duration) I was able to apply all of my finishing touches, got the ATMgr transaction and lineup files loaded and working, and was able to actually begin the replay earlier this evening. I will be posting weekly recaps like I did during my 1930 replay (link). I do not have some sort of hard-coded schedule though, I will just be working my way through the replay a week at a time, and we will see where it goes.

The final decision to be made was that I ended up deciding to not re-grade my pitcher's but instead to stick with the APBA as given pitching grades. It was my observation that the game company broke away from their standard formula for grade assignment with this re-issue set, so let's give it a shot.

1949 Replay NL Recap

St. Louis (105-49, 96-58, +9) Similar to Boston in the AL, St. Louis got off to a fast start and held on from there. They went 5-0 in Week One, slipped behind Pittsburgh into second place in Week Three, but then led the NL from there through the end of the season. Along the way both New York and Boston made a push to catch them, but with the Cardinals playing a consistent .700 level of ball they could get close but couldn’t quite finish the job and St. Louis ended up winning the league by 11.0 games over Brooklyn. Enos Slaughter While Ralph Kiner would likely get the MVP award, one of the reasons would be that Stan Musial , Enos Slaughter , and Red Schoendienst all would split votes away from each other. At about the 2/3’s point of the season, Slaughter went 14-for-18 in a series against Chicago (including two 5-for-5 games) and his average shot up over .400. Instead of immediately leveling back down, there it stayed until there were about ten days left in the season and ...

Week 4 Summary

Week 4 is complete and if anything the pennant races, while it's still early, have continued to stay tight. Multiple teams in both leagues are within shouting distance of the top and none of the teams are giving any quarter. In the AL, homeruns, batting averages and ERA's continued to level off, but in the NL all three took a small jump this week. Regardless, this replay has been funtastic from the first pitch and there is certainly more fun to follow. Before Sunday's games, there were five NL teams that started the day with fourteen wins, and all five are looki Luke Appling ng back at their shoulder at the sixth place Brooklyn Dodgers who have started gathering steam. St. Louis currently sits on top with their good combination of starting, relieving, hitting, and defense. New York has good pitching and plenty of power, and they have used them both to good avail so far. Boston has shown good potential, but just lost first baseman Earl Torgeson for the rest of the ...
