New York Highlanders

August 1903

I missed a July recap.

I had been playing out each game. I checked my age and realized that if I wanted to get through the entire Highlanders – Yankees history playing through with historical transactions this approach would take me…well too long.

I will now only play out the games when the Highlanders/Yankees are in contention. (No more than ten games back). Once it gets to that point, I’ll just sim games to the end of the month and then do my reviews.

My goal is to play through to the present. Checking my wins/losses and statistics against historical statistics. Then go back and begin again but play in GM mode to see if I can replicate or exceed what happens historically.

Probably a rather long project.

Team Statistics

April: 5 – 3
May: 13 – 13
June: 9 - 18
July 13 – 14
August: 13 - 13

Batters are no longer leading the league in strikeouts. They have dropped to third. Certainly a positive development.

The team still doesn’t hit very well. Seventh/sixth place with a .236/.285/.318 line.

Pitching is a bit better. Third and fourth in most statistical catagories. The bullpen ERA has slipped a bit to 2.41
