Entered as 1993 Expansion Rockies, New Journey/Universe, Real MLB Rookies Imported

Trav876 · 08-17-2022, 03:19 PM

Wanted to rename this thread, because I'm already into year 1996...

I've been making several videos per season to check in on where things are at with all the MLB (not just me, the Rockies). I've also been simming (playing) EVERY single game, inning by inning. This has been fun because I get to know the team/players, league, etc. really well. And decide who gets AB's, innings, etc. based on where I want to go with the organization.

Here is the chain of all the videos in this thread-
https://forums.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=338422

And here is the most recent one (but I will continue to post recent videos...usually one every week or so) updating what's going on.

The latest is here (finishing up the '95 season)-

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KVZekRtDUjU

Can Yankees Repeat? Blue Jays also looking Strong...

Jays & Yankees go to a playoff to finish the season- meeting in the FIRST ROUND because of their records (one makes wildcard, one wins division w/ the best record in AL).

Both these teams are stacked, but Braves with over 100 wins are best team in baseball.

End of Season 1995 Awards-
AL MVP- Ken Griffey Jr. (SEA), *it a single-season record 67 HR!
AL Cy Young- Jose Mesa (CLE)
AL Rookie of the Year- Nomar Garciaparra (BOS)
AL Reliever of the Year- Jeff Montgomery (KC)

NL MVP- Barry Bonds (SF)
NL Cy Young- Greg Maddux (ATL)

Sim branching off of a new Universe starting in '93. Braves not making moves but still looking good?

Yankees and Blue Jays top teams from '95- how do they look coming into '96?

And Griffey w/ a single-season record 67 jacks in '95! How's he looking for '96?

1996 MLB Replay Video #2, branching off of 1993 Universe (year 3).

Helton up to the majors 1 year earlier than in real life, absolutely tearing it up.

NL & AL All-Star teams announced- definitely some surprises...see who made it in 1996.

Plus, Yankees & Jays were looking good coming into season, but NEITHER of them are currently leading the AL East? See who's hot in the current standings.

Trav876 · 08-28-2022, 06:37 PM

Boston w/ Mike Greenwell & Nomar are the surprise team in 1st place. Can they win the World Series? Yankees & Jays also in the AL East & much more recent playoff experience. Braves still w/ dominant pitching staff as always...Maddux's final year before being a free agent.

1998 Video #2 of Sim branching off of a 1993 Alternate Universe.

All-Star teams announced and Todd Helton having RIDICULOUS year. Hitting well over .400 and on pace to break the single-season RBI record?

https://youtu.be/xIBkafXcdZ4

Trav876 · 10-05-2022, 10:15 AM

Helton finishes with historical year- setting multiple records (including single-season RBI record) and wins triple crown. But can he carry the Rockies through the playoffs? They'll have to face the defending World Champion Giants in the first round.

https://youtu.be/6bINB9P3nkA

Trav876 · 10-29-2022, 01:25 PM

This video kicks off the 1999 season. Yankees coming off another World Series win in 1998, did they make any moves over the offseason?

In the NL, can Expos get past the Astros in round 1, NLDS?

This sim is a little different in that it will be in-game sims to show each of Helton's at-bats. Then we go right into the playoffs...NY Yankees going for back-to-back World Series Championships- with Kevin Brown, Greg Maddux, Bob St. Pierre, and a pretty loaded offense too.
