Padres 2010 - PC Replay Baseball

[PadresFan104]

As a contributor to the development and test of PC Replay Baseball, I'm always looking for opportunities to introduce the game to people, so I thought I would journal my 2010 Padres replay here on FOFC.

PC Replay baseball is a PC conversion of a table-top game (Replay Baseball) similar to APBA or Strat-O-Matic. It's an excellent representation of the table-top game, but a fun PC game on it's own. Version 3 goes on sale tomorrow, 3/24, and includes a daily newspaper-style recap, along with a real-time gameplay system that allows you to jump in and out of all the days games. You can learn more about the game at these links:

Padres 2010 Replay
For this replay I will be using as-played lineups, as I want to see if I can get the Padres into the playoffs with my in-game managerial moves alone. My plan is to manage every Padres game, and simulate the rest.
I will post screen shots of any interesting daily reports (like the one below), and allow everyone to browse the web pages generated by the game.

Chase Field, Arizona - The Padres win the first game of the season in typical fashion for 2010. Good pitching and timely hitting allowed the Padres to come back from an early 2-0 deficit and win the game 3-2. Jerry Hairston was the player of the game, hitting a pinch hit triple in the top of the ninth, driving in the winning run for the Friars.

It was a great game and the fans agreed, awarding it "Game of the Day" honors.
