Bump Hadley (WSN)

It's not very often that a losing effort is singled out for applause in this Stellar Performances section, but Bump Hadley's no-decision today in Philadelphia deserves recognition.  Hadley gave up a solo home run to slugger Jimmie Foxx in the bottom of the 2nd inning but then completely shut down the vaunted Athletics offense.  Hadley pitched 10 full innings, surrendering only 3 hits and the lone run off of Foxx's longball.  Unfortunately for Hadley, after turning the game over to the bullpen, the A's were able to hit a sacrifice fly in the bottom of the 11th that won them the game.  Despite this great performance, Hadley remains winless on the season at 0-3.

The Senators continue their slide from the top of the AL, now having dropped 6 of their last 7.

  Welcome to the Baseball Classic Replays, where anyone can follow along while I navigate the completely unfamiliar world of card and dice baseball simulations.  While I did dabble with OOTP during COVID, I am essentially new to all of this, trying to discover a number of different games at the same time and figure out which ones I like best.  It seems like there are a plethora of outstanding sims out there, so at times there are almost too many choices for the uninitiated to wade through.  Fortunately, there are a number of outstanding YouTube channels dedicated to this hobby that can be quite helpful in making these decisions, some of which I hope to eventually highlight here.   As some general background about myself, I am a lover of history and baseball and thus, unsurprisingly, enjoy delving into baseball history.  This is the aspect that appeals to me most about baseball sims - recreating some of the greatest individuals seasons, pennant races, e...

April 24, 1940 (Payoff Pitch Replay)

  As you can see on the scoreboards, it was full slate of games today and there were some magnificent performances, particularly on the mound.  The Cubs-Pirates affair could make a strong case for Game of the Day, with the Pirates snagging a run in the bottom of the 8th on a Deb Garms RBI single to seal a one-run victory.  But as you will see below, we are going with a pitcher's duel in Boston for today's honors. Game of the Day: Washington Nationals vs. Boston Red Sox 4-24-1940 (Day Game): 1940-Nationals (2-3) vs. 1940-Red Sox (3-3) 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 R H E 1940-Nationals 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 5 0 1940-Red Sox 0 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 x 2 7 0 Lefty Grove (BSA) The Red Sox' Lefty Grove outdueled Nationals starter Joe Haynes to get the Red Sox back to .500 on the young season.  Sox third baseman Jim Tabor hit a home run in the bottom of the second to take a 1-0 lead and Grove kept a shutout going into the...
