Classic 163rd game

VanillaGorilla · 01-07-2013, 10:40 AM

Going into the final game of the season, Cleveland and Minnesota were tied for the AL Central lead. Both teams dropped 1 run decisions in their final games. The line score from the 163rd game says it all.

Love this stuff.

What a comeback - by both teams! Wish I could've been in the stadium for that one lol.

That would have been a great game to have seen in person or heck just to watch on tv. As long as it was my team who came out on top.

BIG17EASY · 01-07-2013, 12:59 PM

Was it a grand slam?

Do you think you might be able to post the game log? I wouldn't mind reading how this game went.

darkcloud4579 · 01-07-2013, 02:02 PM

That is a good one. Wow.

Comparing the number of hits to the number of runs, I'd have to assume there must have been a lot of players left on base.

I disabled the Almanac to speed up my time between seasons, so I don't have the game log, anymore, as I have played out the next season.

It was not a Grand Slam. Cleveland had zero HRs in the game. Though I forget which team had which number, the walks issued in the game were 2 for one team and three for the other.

So much for pitching...... 😁

Man I love games like that especially when I WIN them!

Did you play it or watch it? I like to just get my players and setup the lineups but generally let the computer AI play out the games while I watch and eat popcorn and drink beer. lol This is why I want more ANIMATIONS in this game because I love to watch baseball all year long and this game takes up the empty space after baseball season is over for me.

I also just play General Manager with some control over the MLB team but let the computer AI handle the minors as well and so that means I have to do what the OWNER says and have to live off the BUDGE he gives me. Nolan Ryan is pretty generous though gave me $182,000,000 for this year.

Three teams on the last day of the season.

Philadelphia: 47-46
St. Louis: 46-47
Detroit: 46-47
(yes, it's a 94 game schedule)

We're tied with Detroit for the 6th and final playoff spot. Philadelphia plays Detroit. Obviously that opens up all kinds of scenarios, including three-way possibilities.

Philly hangs on to beat Detroit in the early game, making it a win-and-in scenario for us. Hooray!

I look at the live sim, and we're up 12-4 in the 8th. I hit the end day button, and oh...my....god.....NO!! NO!!!

Are you kidding me??!?!!?

Thankfully at least we fall back into a one-game playoff against Detroit.

Well, we lost that too. Sigh.

By the way, at it's peak, the lead was 12-1 in the 7th. First and 3rd, 1 out.

The probability of me winning? 99.89%.
