1985 MLB Season Replay (SOM Style)
General Notes:
The 1985 season replay is ready to roll. A few notes before we get started: - I am not trying to do an "As Played" simulation, in fact I can't. The 1985 season disk i have doesn't have every player that participated so there are quite a few gaps that have to be filled. - I have tried to limit over-usage as much as i can, and especially where limited sample size players could have a significant impact on results if allowed to spam the league. However, like the note mentioned above - that doesn't mean some players won't get more playing time and those players could impact the overall results - Some teams are going to be very limited in some areas, commonly the bullpen. Because so many teams in 1985 allowed starters to pitch in relief, the number of arms available in the pen is often small. This is a problem because by scheduling all the rotations for the season there is no way for the game to know to "protect" a pitcher because they have a start coming up. This means I effectively have to set the pitcher to not be allowed to relieve, which in turn cuts the number of arms available in the pen down. So if you see some bullpen pitchers with high inning totals, that is probably why. - I loaded the schedule from retrosheet so it is the real one that was used. - I don't do all-star games in the middle of the season, I do them at the end and I make it a best of 7 series, there is a mid season break though. - I have injuries turned on, but to the best of my recollection, the game only does up to 15 games. - I'm using max rules - Weather, Clutch, Pitch Fatigue, etc. - I've run several test seasons to insure i don't have any severe usage problems, and based on results i would be surprised if all 4 of the real division winners come out on top in this replay. In fact, all 4 have lost multiple times in my test runs. - I am not planning to get actively involved in the games. The plan is for the games to auto-play. Any adjustments I might make would be in changing the team set up configuration, or picking a spot starter in the event of an injury. If you have any questions let me know...

General Update
With just the one game in the NL on 4/1, I didn't see a need to post the newspaper style updates. This is basically how I was planning to post results, as if you were reading them in the paper on a daily basis. I wasn't planning to post box scores from every team/every game - that would be a bit much. I was also planning to do a "game of the week" (or maybe more frequently), where you will get the write up like the one for the Expos v Reds above. I'm planning to get caught up with the real date today and then roll through the schedule 1 day at a time. If you have any suggestions or requests let me know and I'll see what I can do. |

I specifically voted '85 for Pedro Guerrero and Dale Murphy... they both hit HR in their first game (Pedro,2!)...
I'd say it's off to a good start! -Chas

Welcome to Sunday Night Baseball. We have the defending National League champs in Atlanta taking on Dale Murphy and the Braves. It should be a good one. Here are today's line ups: For the Padres Royster - 2b Gwynn - rf Garvey - 1b Martinez - lf McReynolds - cf Kennedy - c Bevacqua - 3b Templeton - ss and on the mound Dave Dravecky the Braves have: Washington - rf Oberkfell - 3b Murphy - cf Horner - 1b Harper - lf Cerone - C Hubbard - 2b Ramirez - ss and just now finishing his warm up pitches is Zane Smith... We are ready to go, Royster steps in and... Fastball, way high Ball four Smith walks him Zane is certainly not known for his control Royster stretches his lead Royster does not get a good lead Tony Gwynn squares to bunt Oberkfell fields it, THEN DROPS THE BALL! Oberkfell picks it up and fires to first Gwynn is out by an eyelash Credit Gwynn with a sacrifice One down for San Diego Steve Garvey is still in the on-deck circle and Carmelo Martinez is looking for a bat in the dugout Base hit to left for Garvey Harry Dunlop won't risk sending the runner home... Runner holds. Martinez drives the ball to left for extra bases Royster scores Harry Dunlop won't risk sending the runner home... Double for Martinez McReynolds flies out to left Harry Dunlop will send the runner home... The throw is coming home... Garvey scores! Struck him out on a terrible pitch That bounced in front of the plate! and Kennedy couldn't hold up his swing! Almost broke his back trying though... That will do it for San Diego But they do get 2 runs right out of the barrel So San Diego leads 2 to zip as Atlanta comes to bat Swing and a miss Struck him out Number 1 on the season for Dravecky Off speed pitch on the way... And Oberkfell watches it go by for the third strike It's a high fly into center McReynolds ranges to his right Reaches up, and takes it for the easy out Atlanta comes up empty here in the bottom of the 1st No runs, no hits and no errors After 1 inning, San Diego still out in front, 2-0 Routine grounder to short Ramirez scoops it up Over to first for the out Atlanta gets the first out of the inning Swung on and topped toward third Oberkfell comes in Backhands it Over to first Not in time! Infield single by Garry Templeton takes a short lead against the lefty Smith Smith looks Templeton back... He's taking a shorter lead now Big slow curve... And it's in there, strike three That's the second out of the inning Time to check the scoreboard San Francisco is on top of Los Angeles 5 to 3 And in our contest San Diego on top 2 to 0 Hit on the ground to second Hubbard grabs it Over to first In time! Score It: 4-3 And that will do it for San Diego It's a BULLET, hit towards short Templeton makes a nice play on it Score It: 6 That's one away Harper starts... but lays off the pitch upstairs Ball four, Dravecky walks him Cerone hits one toward short Templeton fronts it... Oops, he bobbles it... Now he has the handle... Long throw to first Cerone is safe by two steps! Error on the play The pitch is in for a strike It gets away from Kennedy There go the runners No play on either Score it a passed ball on Kennedy The tying runs are now in scoring position thanks to that! Hubbard works the walk... Passes the baton to Rafael Ramirez who will see if he can get Harper in from third Roped to left... a clean single! Harper scores... Cerone is coming to the plate The throw... It's cut off by Templeton! Throw to third... SAFE!

He makes the play That's two away Sinker, down at the knees... Swung on... Bevacqua hits a Baltimore chop... Past the infield into center for a single! That was a difficult ball to handle A curve over the outside corner No, wait a second... The umpire is now signalling ball four! At first he seemed to be indicating a strike Listen to those boos Smith takes a few steps toward home; now turns back Well, as the "great sage" `Chief' Bender said "Do not find too much fault with the umpires You cannot expect them to be as perfect as you are" Hit on the ground to second Hubbard grabs it His throw to first GOT HIM!

And he easily beats Oberkfell for the out One away While we wait for the next batter Let's see what's happening in other games San Francisco slipping by Los Angeles 5 to 3 There's a line drive in the gap by Murphy That looks like an easy two-bagger Carmelo Martinez dives to get the ball And fires it in to second Murphy has himself a double Line drive to short CAUGHT by a diving Templeton! A cross-over step, then he lunged for it Impressive play by the San Diego short stop! Two down He rips a grounder to third Bevacqua grabs it Over to Garvey Got him!

McReynolds picks it up Fires it quickly into the infield Cerone holds with a single Good start to the inning for Atlanta Swung on and lined into right Gwynn over to scoop it up Cerone around second and on his way to third Gwynn fires it toward Bevacqua Templeton cuts it off... So Atlanta has runners on the corners with nobody out Fastball... down and away... NO! It's called a strike And Ramirez is outta there Milt Thompson hits a medium deep fly ball Carmelo Martinez lines up his throw to the plate He makes the catch, and here's the throw SAFE! As the ball trickles away from the catcher Changeup... Ties Washington up in knots An awkward swinging strike three! That's all for the Braves...

Horner will trot down to first... He walks to load the bases Oberkfell and Murphy move up Joe Johnson is up next for Atlanta Dick Williams is visiting the umpire... He'll be making a double switch Roy Lee Jackson has been called from the bullpen And Tim Flannery will come in as the third baseman Base hit to center for Komminsk Oberkfell scores Bobby Dews is giving the green light... The throw is cut off... And that allows the run to score STRIKE THREE! He swung on a ball that was in the dirt Cerone was overanxious up there That was almost a wild pitch One away here in the bottom of the 7th The score is tied at 5 While we have time, let's check the scoreboard San Francisco is in front of Los Angeles 6 to 3 Maldonado has hit his 1st homerun for Los Angeles And it gets away from Jackson!

Sinking fastball... McDowell swings... Raps a hard ground ball right at Fernandez... He snares it easily, throws to first... Out by a step One down for Texas Toby Harrah is in the on-deck circle ready to make his way to the plate for Texas Harrah swings and lifts one toward center Moseby drifts over slowly... He is under it now... And makes the easy catch... And there's two away Fly ball to right Barfield is under it This should do it... He makes the grab After one-half inning It's Texas nothing, the Blue Jays coming up Fly ball to right Wright is under it He grabs it for the out Moseby takes a cut at the slider... There's a line drive... Going over the head of Oddibe McDowell My word! Look at that ball go!! That's a home run!! And that left the yard in a hurry Hooton can't believe it Homer number 3 for Lloyd Moseby this year To go with his 7 RBI's It's popped in the air It'll be the first baseman, O'Brien, making the play That is the second out here in the bottom of the 1st Wilkerson comes in to kibitz with Hooton While we have a moment, let me set the outfield distances for you It's 318 feet down the line in left 399 feet to left-center 408 feet to straight-away center field Then over in right-center it's 385 feet from home plate and 314 feet to the right field foul pole Breaking ball, in on the hands Upshaw swings at... Pounds the ball into the ground It's a one bouncer into the hole Tolleson ranging over stabs it Strong throw to first... GOT HIM!!! Upshaw is out by an eyelash What a play! We've played through the first inning here at EXHIBITION STADIUM So far... Toronto on top 1 to 0 Parrish pops one straight up And it will be Whitt making the play One down for Texas Gary Ward is in the on-deck circle ready to make his way to the plate for Texas Curveball... Ward swings at it... Hits a high fly to deep center Moseby bolting after it... It is carrying all the way to the fence Moseby jumps for it... IT CAROMS OFF THE fence!! Ward heading for second... Here's the strong throw It's on the money... Garcia blocks it in front of him... Ward is safe! That will be scored a double There's a high foul pop behind the plate Whitt goes back to the screen No play, it goes into the seats Just missed the screen . . . Slaught back in the box And here comes the next pitch Slaught rips one on the ground It's a 'daisy cutter' to Fernandez Tony fields it cleanly Looks Ward back to second Now fires it over to first... Easy out That's the second out of the inning It's in on the wrists Wayne tried to hold up Now it appears he will be awarded first... Yes, Clancy walks him A slider by Clancy Wilkerson gets good wood on it... Moseby back-pedals quickly... Up with his glove... Out! That retires the side... Wilkerson fails to come through in the clutch For Texas, No runs, one hit, no errors and 2 men left on base Caught looking...
