New Project: 1930 NPIII/Skeetersoft Full Season Replay

  Yes, I've started a few replays in the short time I've been into baseball sims, only to get sidetracked by a different season/game and hope to something else.  I've loved Skeetersoft since I started playing the 1929 season last year, but then hopped around to try a few other games and had been playing a lot of PC Replay Baseball, which I also think is fantastic.  But...something recently gave me the itch to try another season of NPIII and after starting an interesting book called "Breaking the Slump" by Charles Alexander about baseball during the Depression, I figured why not start right at the beginning of the 1930s.  I purchased the 1930 season and have been off and running.  As I said, there are other sims I really like - particularly Replay PC - but, I've yet to play anything that feels as smooth, and is this simple with still feeling like baseball like NPIII/Skeetersoft.  So, I'm going to barrel forward with this replay. With past projects, I got bo...

April 16, 1941 (Replay Baseball)

  Highlights of today's action: - Dodgers starter Kirby Higbe took a no-hitter into the 9 th inning in Brooklyn and was able to get the first batter in the inning.  He then gave up a bloop single, however, to break up the no-hit bid.  Regardless,  he won a 5-0 shutout of the Giants, striking out four and giving up no walks. Kirby Higbe (Dodgers) -  Game in Cincinnati between the Reds and the Cardinals is easily the game of the young season.   Both starters went nine innings – Reds’ starter Johnny Vander Meer walking four and striking out nine, while allowing one earned run; Cardinals’ starter Mort Cooper walked three, struck out six, and ultimately allowed two earned runs.   The Cardinals lead 1-0 in the bottom of the 9 th , with two outs and running on first, when pinch hitter Hank Sauer roped a double to tie the game.   The Cardinals came back and scored a run in the top of the 10 th , but the Reds came back again in the bottom of the inning fo...

Hit Streaks - Thru June 9, 1929

  Dale Alexander (DET) So, it is definitely my fault that I have not been posting updates with respect to hitting streaks - particularly because there have been some impressive  streaks thus far this season.  The tab for hit streaks is separate from other batting stats in Skeetersoft - it isn't hidden by any means, but I don't check it as often as I do the usual hitting stats that I incorporate into the Week in Review posts.  So, without further adieu, here are the 20 best hitting streaks so far this season: That is quite an impressive run from Dale Alexander at 27 straight games - as are those from other star players like Rogers Hornsby (23) and Al Simmons (22). The longest active streak belongs to the Brooklyn Robins' Harvey Hendrick, who has hit successfully in his last 14 games.
