Rice had a good day at the plate.  He blasted a solo shot in the 1st inning,
delivered a one-base hit in the 4th inning and clubbed a three-run home run
(his 6th of the season) in the 4th inning.  California made it exciting in

victory. Tim Lollar recorded the save, his 1st.  Kirk McCaskill(1-3) was

when he lifted one out of the park for a two run home run (his 1st of the
season).  Milwaukee threatened in the 9th but Seattle was able to put down
the rally.  

The win was credited to Young(2-1) who went the whole way allowing 1 run.

game.  

The victory went to Jeff Russell(1-2) who went 6 and 1/3 innings, allowing 2

and doubled resulting in an exciting win for Chicago and a wild post-game
celebration by the home town fans.  For the game Chicago out-hit San
Francisco 13 to 10.  

The victory was credited to George Frazier(2-1) who went 1 inning, allowing no
runs. The losing pitcher was Mark Davis(0-1) in relief.  He gave up 2 runs
and 2 hits in 1 and 2/3 innings.

Ryan(3-2) absorbed the loss.  He allowed 3 homeruns in 4 innings of work.

When asked about his strikeout total for the game, Gooden offered, 'The fan's

course, it would be all for naught without the 'W'.'

Derrel Thomas slammed 2 homeruns at VETERANS STADIUM as the Philadelphia
Phillies won in dramatic fashion coming back to beat the Montreal Expos in 10
innings by the count of 9 to 5.

Both teams were tied at 4 runs apiece after nine innings.  Philadelphia came
out the victor in the 10th inning.  The key at-bat was by Thomas who made the
Philadelphia fans a happy lot when he emptied the bases with a Grand Slam
homerun (his 2nd of the season).  A wild and woolly affair, this game saw the
lead change 5 times.  

Don Carman(1-0) was the winner allowing no runs in 2/3 of an inning. Gary
Lucas(0-1) was hit with the loss in relief.  He pitched 1/3 of an inning
allowing 2 hits and no walks.

'I was in my hotel room the other night, working on my swing and made some
adjustments,' Thomas said. 'I'm always working on it. If they are getting you
out certain ways, you've got to make changes.'

slimmest of margins, 8 to 7.

St. Louis jumped out to the early lead in the first inning when they scored 2
runs on 1 hit.  The crucial at-bat was provided by Tom Nieto who came through
for the home fans when he tripled which was good for two runs.  The Los
Angeles bats were silent in the 9th.  

The win went to Joaquin Andujar(4-0) who allowed 3 runs in 6 and 2/3 innings.

best stuff,' Whitey Herzog said after the game.  'Andujar did not have
command of his pitches most of the afternoon, but he proved he really knew
how to pitch!'

Kingdome.  The final score was a lop-sided 16 to 4.

Rich Gedman enjoyed a fine day at the plate.  He lost the ball over the fence
for three runs (his 6th of the season) in the 3rd inning, stroked a single in
the 5th inning and laced a one-base hit in the 6th inning.  Boston bats were
hot in the 5th inning when they had 7 runs on 6 hits and the 6th inning which
saw them plate 5 runs on 6 hits.  Boston had 15 hits overall, while Seattle
had 8.  

Al Nipper(4-0) was the winner allowing 4 runs in 6 and 1/3 innings. Frank

Homeruns- D.Winfield(3rd), O.McDowell-2(4th), B.Jones(2nd)

In a dramatic ending the New York Yankees staged a comeback and held on to win
over the Texas Rangers by the count of 7 to 6.

New York came through with the game-winning runs in the 9th inning with 3 runs
utilizing 2 base hits.  After an out was recorded, Andre Robertson started
the rally when he drew a walk.  Don Mattingly came next and he slapped a
base-hit.  Dave Winfield then belted a three-run homer (his 3rd of the
season).  The game was a wild affair with the lead changing hands 5 times.

The victory was credited to Rich Bordi(2-0) who went 4 innings, allowing 2
runs. Dave Schmidt(0-1) ended up with the loss in relief.  He was knocked
around pretty good, giving up 3 runs in 2 and 1/3 innings.  

After the game, it took a long while before Bobby Valentine emerged from his
office.  In a subdued tone he answered only a couple of questions.  He
concluded with, 'Fellows, sorry I'm not in a very talkative mood this
afternoon, as I think you'll understand.  I'm sure you'll find the banter a
lot more light-hearted over in the New York locker room.'

Win:Slaton(1-3) Loss:Gibson(0-4)
Homeruns- C.Cooper(3rd), B.Downing(7th)

Designated hitter Brian Downing lofted one into the 'cheap seats' and had 5
RBI as the California Angels defeated the struggling Milwaukee Brewers in 11
innings by a score of 8 to 7 at ANAHEIM STADIUM.

The game was deadlocked at 7 after nine full innings.  California won the hard
fought contest in the 11th inning.  After an out was recorded, Downing
singled.  Mike Brown followed and he doubled.  Ruppert Jones then laced a
single resulting in a mighty exciting win for California and the 45,007 home
town fans in attendance.  This was the kind of game that many fans love as
the lead changed hands 5 times.  

The victory went to Jim Slaton(1-3) who went 2 and 1/3 innings, allowing no
runs. Bob Gibson(0-4) absorbed the loss in relief.  The California ballclub's
record now stands at 13-13.  Not able to get much going in recent weeks,
Milwaukee is 1-9 of late and now has an overall record of 3-21, worst in the
division.

TEXAS AT CLEVELAND

Homeruns- P.O'Brien(1st), S.Buechele(2nd), B.Jacoby(3rd)

Pete O'Brien went deep and had 3 RBI as the Texas Rangers defeated the
floundering Cleveland Indians by the score of 12 to 8 at MUNICIPAL
STADIUM.

Texas came up with 4 runs in the top of the 3rd inning with the help of 4
hits.  The critical plate appearance was by O'Brien who quieted the home
crowd when he lofted a three-run bomb (his 1st of the season).  Cleveland
threatened in the 9th but their rally came up short.  

Burt Hooton(2-2) was the winner allowing 4 runs in 7 and 1/3 innings. Neal
Heaton(0-5) was given the loss.  He was pinned with the loss despite not
allowing an earned run in his 3 and 2/3 innings of work.  

Pat Corrales was subdued after the ballgame, 'That one really hurts.  If our
guys had simply played more fundamentally sound, we could have won that one.
That is what really ticks me off!'

allowing just 4 hits and 1 walk in 7 and 2/3 innings.  Morris chalked up 8
strikeouts reducing his ERA from 3.35 to 2.84.  Morris got help from Willie
Hernandez who pitched great and earned his 7th save.

hits.  The crucial at-bat was provided by Tim Teufel who excited the crowd
when he cleared the fences for a two-run home run (his 7th of the season).

hits.  They ended up being the winning runs.  Jay Howell was perfect in
relief and gained credit for his 6th save.  

Chris Codiroli(4-2) went 8 innings allowing 2 runs for the victory. Bruce
Hurst(2-3) suffered the loss.  He pitched 6 innings giving up 6 hits and 4
walks.

The Toronto Blue Jays cruised to a 11 to 4 victory over the Seattle Mariners
at The Kingdome.

Toronto had 6 runs cross the plate in the 5th inning with the help of 7 hits.
The key offensive moment was provided by George Bell who disappointed the
partisan crowd when he lofted a three-run 'big-fly' (his 7th of the season).
Toronto kept the pressure on throughout the contest as they scored in 6
different innings.  

Luis Leal(2-1) picked up the victory, allowing 4 runs in 7 and 2/3 innings.
The loss was charged to Matt Young(2-2).  He was touched for 11 hits and 2

game as the New York Yankees defeated the Kansas City Royals 11 to 2 at
YANKEE STADIUM.

The game started off with New York taking the lead in the first when they
scored 4 runs on 4 hits.  That early scoring held up.  New York had a total
of 14 hits for the game.  

The victory was credited to Cowley(3-2) who went the distance, allowing 2
runs. The losing pitcher was Danny Jackson(0-3).  He surrendered 11 runs in 5

Date: 5/2/1985

Code:

Win:Boyd(3-2) Loss:Sutton(3-1) Save:Crawford(3rd)
Homeruns- S.Lyons(1st)

At FENWAY PARK, the Boston fans witnessed a great pitcher's duel.  Oil Can
Boyd(3-2) finally bested his California opposite, Don Sutton(3-1), by the
score of 2 to 1.

Boston claimed the early lead in the first inning plating an isolated run
using 3 hits.  California threatened in the 9th but their rally came up
short.  

Boyd got relief help from Steve Crawford who gained credit for his 3rd save.
The losing pitcher was Sutton.  He was stingy with the baserunners, allowing
just 5 hits and no walks in 7 innings.

Gene Mauch was reflective after the loss, 'We should have won this one, we
just made one too many mistakes.  Son-of-a-gun, that added a couple more
white hairs on this noggin of mine.'

CHICAGO AT CLEVELAND
White Sox....... 0 1 1  0 0 0  0 0 3  -  5  9  0

of the season).  Ron Kittle was next and he singled.  Nichols stole second
with some aggressive base running.  Luis Salazar stepped in and he blasted a
two-run home run (his 1st of the season).  Dan Spillner(2-1) was helped out
by Bob James who pitched a perfect ninth and recorded his 4th save.  

Keith Creel(0-1) was the loser in relief.  He allowed 2 hits and no walks in 1
inning.  Tony LaRussa was all smiles after the game, 'To pull a game out in
your last at bats, is a beautiful feeling - and did you see how quiet it got
out there? You could have heard a pin drop when we took the lead.  But, hey,
that's what makes baseball so great - as the great sage Yogi Berra says,
'it's not over 'til its over.'

So...confession time. I've played a lot of Strat, and there are always some strange outcomes, and that's what makes it interesting. However, in my play testing of this season, there were A LOT of strange outcomes, and most are on the pitching side. I expect we'll end up with some guys around 50 home runs, which will be a huge departure from the real season, but the pitching is going to be really skewed this season, and the reason is...the season I have has short rosters. I didn't realize it initially. It wasn't until after 1985 was chosen, and I play tested a few times that I noticed it. In essence, most teams have very few arms in the pen, so ones they do have will be overused.

A great example of this is KC. They are struggling, and I expect they will continue to do so, mostly because they only have 8 pitchers on the team. With a mostly 5 man rotation and fatigue, from one game to the next the options in the pen are really small. I've also seen in my play testing relievers approach 20 wins. I've tried to limit the relievers appearances by setting up the bullpen strategies for all the teams, but there's only so much I can do, when I'm simming all the games.

I probably should have turned off injuries so they would shorten team options even more, but that is a significant variable that I like to leave in place. I hope this doesn't spoil anyone's interest.

I'll be posting team stats this weekend, and when I post, I'll see about providing some comment on the season so far. Plus I don't know if you guys enjoy the play by play games, or if you just like the newspaper recaps. Let me know, and I'll try to get some play by play games posted periodically.

solo-shot out of the park in the 1st inning, hit a bases-empty home run (his
8th of the season) in the 3rd inning and stroked a base-hit in the 8th
inning.  St. Louis made it exciting in the 9th, but they were unable to push

run. Ken Howell gained credit for his 4th save.  Danny Cox(2-2) was the

by the score of 9 to 2 at SHEA STADIUM.

Atlanta came through with the game-winning runs in the top of the 8th inning
when they tallied 5 runs on 4 hits.  The crucial at-bat was provided by

1st of the season).  Overall Atlanta out-hit New York 11 to 8.  

Gene Garber(1-0) was the winner allowing no runs in 4 innings. Roger
McDowell(3-1) was tagged with the loss in relief.  He was knocked around,

Philadelphia Phillies by a score of 4 to 3.

Cincinnati had 2 runs cross the plate in the top of the 4th inning with the
help of 4 hits.  The highlight belonged to Milner who deflated the mood of
the partisan fans when he slapped a single plating two runs.  For the game
Cincinnati out-hit Philadelphia 13 to 7.  

Tom Browning(3-3) got the win allowing 1 run in 7 innings. Ted Power recorded
his 6th save.  John Denny(1-5) took the loss.  He allowed a few too many

Lamarr Hoyt went 9 strong innings and Graig Nettles had 4 hits and 2 RBI as
the San Diego Padres man-handled the Pittsburgh Pirates - the final score was
14 to 1.

It was a good day for San Diego thanks to Nettles.  He delivered a single in
the 4th inning, cleared the fences for a two-run home run (his 2nd of the
season) in the 5th inning, slapped a base-hit in the 6th inning and doubled
in the 8th inning.  San Diego bats were very productive in the 3rd inning
when they had 4 runs on 6 hits and the 4th inning which saw them plate 4 runs
on 5 hits.  San Diego had 26 hits for the afternoon.  

Hoyt(3-1) lasted until the end allowing 1 run for the win. Rick Reuschel(3-2)
was given the loss.  He was knocked around pretty good, giving up 8 runs in 3
and 1/3 innings.  

'He was moving it around and spotting it very well.' Chuck Tanner said.  Hoyt
pitched a great game. He deserves all the credit.'

CHICAGO AT SAN FRANCISCO
Cubs............ 1 0 0  0 0 0  0 1 0  -  2  6  1
Giants.......... 0 0 0  0 0 0  0 3    -  3  6  0
Win:Lapoint(2-4) Loss:Smith(0-1) Save:Minton(1st)

8,897 fans watched an exciting game at CANDLESTICK PARK.  The San Francisco
Giants topped the Chicago Cubs by the slimmest of margins, 3 to 2.

Chicago lost it in the 8th inning when San Francisco did all their damage with
3 runs on 3 hits.  After an out was recorded, Jose Uribe got things rolling
when he laced a one-base hit.  Ron Roenicke came to the plate and ripped a
base-knock.  David Green then tripled scoring two teammates.  Brad Wellman
was up next and he reached on an error scoring the final run of the inning.
Both teams finished the game with 6 hits.

The win went to Dave Lapoint(2-4) who allowed 2 runs in 8 innings. Greg Minton
was credited with his 1st save. Lee Smith(0-1) suffered the loss in relief.

A few days back I missed the fact the AL had a couple of days with no games. So the newspaper postings are off on the date. I'm going to slow down here and get back in balance. Sorry about the confusion - the game jumps to the next scheduled game, not an empty day in the calendar. I'll try to pay more attention in the future.

PilotMan · 05-02-2020, 10:21 PM

I love seeing some of the day to day stuff. I played SOM growing up, have my version 1, Apple Computer game discs somewhere. My grandma used to send me box scores and stats every week from her Atlanta newspaper because they had better stats than I had in Minot growing up. Gotta love Grandmas. I wouldn't expect you to post every single day though. It's one of my very favorite seasons of baseball. Also love '86. I played the crap out of those cards. Skipped '87, then loved '88 after LA won it all. Man.....what a trip down memory lane.

Sorry about the confusion - the game jumps to the next scheduled game, not an empty day in the calendar. I'll try to pay more attention in the future.
