May 3, 1941 (Replay Baseball)

-          Star left fielder Joe Medwick hit a walk-off single in the bottom of the 10th inning to get the Dodgers out of a losing streak by claiming a 5-4 win over the visiting Cubs.  Dodgers’ starter Kirby Higbe was cruising, leading 2-0 into the 8th inning, when suddenly the Cubs exploded for 4 runs.  The Dodgers managed to respond and get it to extra innings before Medwick’s heroics sealed the win.  Medwick went 3-5 on the day, driving in five runs.

-          Reds’ starter Paul Derringer has been fantastic all season but was still 0-3 heading into today’s matchup with the Boston Braves.  He pitched another gem to get his first win of the season, going the distance and allowing only four hits.  Surprisingly, he didn’t strike out a single batter but was still nearly unhittable.

  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...
