- Make a backup of the organization
- Copy BBWReplayStatsmaintV2.02Setup.zip to C:/Users/Public/Public Documents/APBA Games/Baseball (I am running Windows 10)
- Right click on the zip file and select extract. Chose the default extract directory (BBWReplayStatsMaintV2.02Setup)
- In this folder is now a setup.exe, a CAB file, and an LST file. Ensure you are not running any of the APBA programs, and then double-click on the exe file to begin the install
- I just took the defaults when presented, and completed the install
- Find the icon in the list of programs (from the start button) and click to open the program. It will want to link to the .exe file, so click browse, you will be in the folder with the exe, select it and click OK
- You will then be prompted for which version of APBA you are running. Make the proper selection
- It will provide a warning - be careful (See #1 above)
- You will get the option to select which organization to edit. The initial default is the one that you left as the primary the last time you were in the game. Besides the correct season, you may have to select an organization (i.e., replay versus default). Click OK
- There is a PDF guide included as part of the installation that goes into more detail, but all I want to do is account for these two tie games. The affected players will need a "game played" and "game at position" - I am not going to include any other stats (i.e., hits, runs, etc.)
- Under "Type of Statistic" there is a choice of Offensive, Pitching, and Defensive stats to edit. I chose to start with Offensive
- This brings up a spreadsheet-type view of the offensive player data. Each player (including pitchers) gets their Games and Games Played adjusted in both the Offensive and Defensive (by position) view, and Pitchers gets their Games Played and Games Started adjusted in the Pitchers view
- The players are initially sorted by team, so since I was only updating two teams, the update process took about 10 minutes. I spent about 2 hours checking and double-checking everything ahead of time
- Exit, and go to Statmaster to review your changes. Repeat as necessary
Monday, August 18, 1930
New York (AL) (H) 2 Chicago (AL) 1 (10)
The White Sox continue to bedevil the Yankees, but Herb Pennock (7-6) pitched a strong game and got the victory. Chicago scored their run in the top of the first, and the Yankees eventually tied with a bases-loaded sacrifice fly from Ben Chapman in the sixth. There it stood until Lou Gehrig singled home Babe Ruth with the game-winner in the tenth.
St. Louis (AL) 3 Philadelphia (AL) (H) 2
Lefty Stewart (20-5) outdueled George Earnshaw (14-7) as the Browns defeated the league leaders. St. Louis took an early 3-0 lead, held off an A's rally or two, and Stewart became the second pitcher to twenty wins.
Washington (H) 1 Detroit 0
Bump Hadley (13-6) allowed only three hits and went all the way for the shutout victory. Sam West tripled home Joe Kuhel in the fourth for the game's only run.
Chicago (NL) (H) 2 Philadelphia (NL) 1
The Phillies scored in the top of the first, but that was all Pat Malone (18-6) gave up today. A Hack Wilson sacrifice fly in the sixth put the Cubs ahead to stay and Malone did the rest.
Note: It was announced before the game that first baseman Charlie Grimm is expected to miss the next three weeks. The Cubs have signed George "High Pockets" Kelly from Minneapolis to play first base in the interim, and that he is expected in the lineup tomorrow. The Cubs also announced that tomorrow Rogers Hornsby is expected to return to play after having broken his ankle at the end of May. It is expected Hornsby will be limited to pinch-hit duties, at least initially.
Brooklyn 6 Pittsburgh (H) 2 (13)
The two teams left Brooklyn last night to resume their series in Pittsburgh this week. They did it the hard way, but the Robins got one in the win column when they scored four times in the thirteenth inning. A Del Bissonette two-run double was the big hit in the crucial thirteenth.
Tuesday, August 19, 1930
Cleveland 6 Boston (AL) (H) 0 (GM 1)
The Indians start the day three games behind the Red Sox and would love a doubleheader sweep over the struggling home team. Wes Ferrell (18-9) not only pitched a game one shutout but also drove in the first two runs of the game to put the Indians ahead to stay. Russ Scarritt made an appearance for Boston after having missed almost two full months.
Cleveland 2 Boston (AL) (H) 1 (GM 2)
Both teams scored a run in the first, and that was it until Johnny Hodapp doubled home Earl Averill in the top of the ninth with the eventual game-winner. Roxie Lawson (1-0), after not getting past the first batter in his initial starting appearance, went all the way for the victory and the doubleheader sweep.
New York (AL) (H) 5 Chicago (AL) 1
Red Ruffing (9-11) got the win today and went 3-for-4 for two doubles and two runs scored. Lou Gehrig also had two doubles (#43, #44) on the day.
St. Louis (AL) 4 Philadelphia (AL) (H) 2
George Blaeholder (7-6) went all the way and didn't allow a run until Al Simmons hit a two run homerun in the ninth. Goose Goslin has been pretty quiet recently but went 3-for-5 with a double and homerun today.
Washington (H) 4 Detroit 1
The Nationals got an early lead and Lloyd Brown (11-9) and Ad Liska held off the Tigers to claim the victory.
Chicago (NL) (H) 5 Philadelphia (NL) 4
The Cubs hit two early homeruns and moved off to a quick 4-0 lead and Charlie Root (18-5) was cruising towards a shutout when the Phillies struck with two in the seventh and two in the eighth to tie it up, the final two runs coming on a Don Hurst homerun. Kiki Cuyler hit the first pitch of the eighth inning over the wall, the Cubs had their lead again, and Root did the smart thing - he got the third out in the ninth before Lefty O'Doul and Chuck Klein had a chance to bat.
Cincinnati (H) 1 Boston (NL) 0
Eppa Rixey (5-10) has not had a good year this season, but he had the good stuff today as he only allowed a first-inning single to George Sisler. Fred Frankhouse (3-8) took the loss but only gave up four hits. Harry Heilmann doubled home Tony Cuccinello in the second for the game's only run.
Pittsburgh (H) 2 Brooklyn 0
The Pirates only had three hits to the Robins six, but they made every one of them count as Steve Swetonic (3-0) went all the way for the shutout victory. The first hit for Pittsburgh was a solo homerun by Paul Waner in the first, and the other two hits resulted in George Grantham scoring the second run of the game in the fourth inning.
New York (NL) 5 St. Louis (NL) (H) 3
The Giants took an early lead with two in the third, but the Cardinals answered back with three in the third. The Giants then pushed across three in the fifth to take a 5-3 lead, and Carl Hubbell (15-8) kept the Cardinals bats quiet for the remainder of the game.
Wednesday, August 20, 1930
The lineups I will be using to account for the two ties games are:
It is worth mentioning that Phil Collins pitched all sixteen innings for the Phillies and Guy Bush pitched ten innings of relief for the Cubs before the game was called with a 6-6 score. Neither team scored after the sixth inning
Philadelphia (AL) (H) 7 Detroit 3
Lefty Grove (26-5) had a 4-0 lead coming out of the first thanks in part to a three-run homerun from Jimmie Foxx (#26). The Tigers rallied for three in the third to make it close, but Grove wouldn’t give them anymore today.
Washington (H) 2 St. Louis (AL) 0
The flurry of shutouts continues as General Crowder (10-13) and the Nationals blanked the Browns. Joe Cronin hit a homerun in the fourth to put the Nationals ahead, and then Cronin drove in Heinie Manush with an insurance run in the eighth.
Cincinnati (H) 6 Brooklyn 3 (GM 1)
The Robins scored three times in the first, but that was all Benny Frey (11-5) allowed today and the Reds took game one of the doubleheader. Tony Cuccinello made it close with a two run homerun in the bottom of the first, but the Reds didn’t take the lead until Harry Heilmann hit a sure double-play ball to Glenn Wright in the seventh, only to see the ball glance off Wright's glove and into left field, allowing two runs to score.
Brooklyn 4 Cincinnati (H) 2 (GM 2)
Again the Robins took a first-inning lead, and again the Reds scored in the first as well, this time the Reds coming away with a 2-1 lead. Brooklyn tied it in the fifth, and there the score stood until Babe Herman hit a two-run homerun (#30) in the top of the ninth to earn the Robins a split in the doubleheader.
Pittsburgh (H) 6 Boston (NL) 2
Dick Bartell blew open a close game with a two run homerun in the fourth and Ray Kremer (12-16) went all the way for the Pirates and got the win.
New York (NL) 12 St. Louis (NL) (H) 3
Freddie Fitzsimmons (15-6) not only pitched a complete game but also went 3-for-4 with a double and a homerun. Shortstop Doc Marshall and second baseman Hughie Critz each chipped in with three RBI's for the Giants as well. Showboat Fisher did hit a pinch-hit homerun for the Cardinals, but it was of no avail.
Thursday, August 21, 1930
Chicago (AL) 10 Boston (AL) (H) 3
The White Sox got off to a quick lead against the hometown Red Sox and then just kept adding runs after that. Tommy Thomas (5-12) went all the way and went 2-for-4 with a double and two RBI's to help his own cause. Smead Jolley went 3-for-4 with two doubles, a homerun, and three RBI's to lead the offense.
New York (NL) (H) 2 Cleveland 0
Another strong pitching/hitting performance, as this time Ed Wells (6-9) limited the Indians to only two hits and went all the way for the shutout, plus Wells went 3-for-3 and drove in the first run of the day. Yankees backup Catcher Benny Bengough went 3-for-4 with two doubles, but he was thrown out at home twice trying to extend the Yankees slim lead.
Philadelphia (AL) (H) 7 Detroit 1
Al Simmons hit a three-run homerun (#23, 122) in the third inning to blow the game open for the A's, and Bill Shores (8-7) went all the way for the win.
St. Louis (AL) 6 Washington (H) 1
The Browns had six doubles on the day but managed to bunch them up and get multiple runs out of them. The Nationals had three triples, but they only got one run out of them. Goose Goslin had two of those doubles, and Red Kress added to his league lead with #46.
Chicago (NL) (H) 6 New York (NL) 0
There weren't any runs scored until the bottom of the seventh when Les Bell hit a pinch-hit two-run homerun to break up the scoreless tie. The Cubs added a pair of two-run homeruns in the eighth to blow it open. Sheriff Blake (12-9) still has an ERA over 5.00, but only gave up one single in today's contest.
St. Louis (NL) (H) 4 Philadelphia (NL) 2
Burleigh Grimes (15-7) got the win plus he went 2-for-2 and drove in two runs in the seventh that put the Cardinals ahead to stay.
Friday, August 22, 1930
Chicago (AL) 4 Boston (AL) (H) 1
Second baseman Bill Cissell drove in two key runs help the White Sox and Ted Lyons (17-12) over the Red Sox. Boston only had two hits on the day, the two hits combining to provide their only run.
New York (AL) (H) 10 Cleveland 2
The Yankees finally broke the scoreless tie when Earle Combs hit a two run homerun in the bottom of the fifth, and Bill Dickey added a three-run double before the inning was over. Lou Gehrig hit a three-run homerun (#37, 148) in the sixth, and the rout was on. Roy Sherid (9-6) got the win for the Yankees.
Note: Cleveland left fielder Bibb Falk bounced off the wall chasing Dickey's long fly in the fifth and had to come out of the game.
Detroit 7 Philadelphia (AL) (H) 2
The Tigers scored two in the first to grab an early lead, but the A's eventually tied the score at 2-2 at the end of four. Detroit then put together a three-run fifth inning and Vic Sorrell (15-9) took it from there. Charlie Gehringer and Marty McManus both had three RBI's for the Tigers.
St. Louis (AL) 2 Washington (H) 1 (10)
Lefty Stewart (21-5) not only pitched a complete game victory but in four plate appearances, he had a sacrifice hit and three walks. The last walk was in the tenth, and he scored the winning run when he was tripled home by Goose Goslin.
Chicago (NL) (H) 7 New York (NL) 2
The Cubs took advantage of two crucial Giants errors today, both leading to runs scoring for Chicago. Woody English went 3-for-4 with a double and homerun and two RBI's and Hack Wilson added a two-run homerun (#36, 134) as well. Charlie Root (19-5) wants to be the first NL pitcher to twenty wins.
Brooklyn 10 Cincinnati (H) 1
A three-run double by third baseman Wally Gilbert in the fifth blew the game open for the Robins and Dazzy Vance (15-7). Del Bissonette went 3-for-5 with two doubles and two RBI's to help put the game out of reach.
Boston (NL) 6 Pittsburgh (H) 2
Wally Berger went 2-for-4 with two homeruns and three RBIs (#29, 88) to spark the Braves offense. Tom Zachary (5-13) lost his shutout when Pirates catcher Rollie Hemsley hit an unexpected two-run homerun in the bottom of the seventh.
St. Louis (NL) (H) 8 Philadelphia (NL) 2
Bill Hallahan (10-12) has not had a good year as his 6.44 ERA will attest to, but he had the good stuff today - eighth hits and zero walks, and no runs allowed until Pinky Whitney singled home two in the seventh and the Cardinals were already ahead 7-0 at the time. The Phillies grounded into three double plays as well - a pitchers best friend.
Saturday, August 23, 1930
Philadelphia (AL) (H) 10 Detroit 7
George Earnshaw (15-8) started for the second day in a row, got the win in this one, but weakened down the end and Lefty Grove came in and got a two-out save. Jimmy Dykes was back in the lineup after a short hiatus and went 3-for-4 with three RBI's
Note: I usually look at the next day's lineup to ensure I am not going to bring in a reliever that is slated to start the next day. I don’t do the same for starting pitchers because I don’t expect them to start two days in a row. The A's have 28 games remaining, and Earnshaw has nine remaining starts.
Washington (H) 4 St. Louis (AL) 3
The Browns brought in Rip Collins (8-10) to get the Nationals out in the ninth, and he quickly retired the first two batters he faced. Ossie Bluege got things started with a walk, pinch-hitter Dave Harris dribbled an infield single to put two on, and then second baseman Buddy Myer doubled them both home for an exciting Washington come-from-behind win.
Chicago (NL) (H) 6 New York (NL) 3
Hack Wilson hit a two-run homerun to cap off a three-run first, and the Giants managed to climb back keep it close, but Pat Malone (19-6) never let them tie it up and the Cubs had the win. Les Bell chipped in with two doubles and two RBI's in a close game.
Brooklyn 8 Cincinnati (H) 2 (GM 1)
Sloppy Thurston (7-2) gave up two runs in the second, but then Ike Boone hit a grand slam in the fourth and the Robins never looked back. Glenn Wright later added a two-run homerun to provide Thurston a little cushion.
Brooklyn 7 Cincinnati (H) 3 (GM 2)
Ray Moss (5-4) got a spot start because of the doubleheader, and despite walking seven Reds batters, went all the way for the win. Babe Herman went 4-for-5 with two doubles and two runs scored, and backup catcher Hank DeBerry went 3-for-4 with two RBI's in support of Moss.
Boston (NL) 4 Pittsburgh (H) 2 (GM 1)
The Braves scored three times in the top of the first and Bob Smith (8-11) did the rest, keeping the Pittsburgh bats quiet for the rest of the game.
Boston (NL) 2 Pittsburgh (H) 1 (12)
The Braves didn’t score a run until two outs in the top of the ninth, but that was enough to send the game into extra innings. In the top of the twelfth, third baseman Randy Moore singled home Lance Richbourg with the eventual game-winner and Ben Cantwell (6-9) retired the Pirates in the bottom half to claim the win.
Philadelphia (NL) 9 St. Louis (NL) (H) 8 (12)
The Cardinals committed five fielding errors and numerous base-running blunders, but it still took them twelve innings to finally lose it to the Phillies. Relief pitcher Ray Benge (7-9) got the win and drove home the eventual game-winning (unearned) run with a single in the fateful twelfth inning.
Sunday, August 24, 1930
Boston (AL) (H) 2 Chicago (AL) 1 (GM 1)
White Sox starter Red Faber (5-13) made one mistake today and Earl Webb hit it, a two-run homerun in the bottom of the third, and that was all Milt Gaston (14-12) needed today. As the Red Sox took game one.
Chicago (AL) 7 Boston (AL) (H) 1 (GM 2)
In another case of a pitcher helping himself when at the plate, Pat Caraway (9-8) went all the way for the win and drove in three runs with a double in the third inning.
Detroit (H) 7 St. Louis (AL) 5
Both St. Louis and Detroit got on trains last night and moved to Detroit for today's game. The Tigers scored six times in the second, with Liz Funk and John Stone both driving in key runs. The Browns elected to keep Rollie Stiles on the mound, and he held the Tigers scoreless until the eighth. Stiles also helped lead a late Browns rally as he went 3-for-3 with two doubles on the day.
Cleveland 7 New York (AL) (H) 6 (GM 1)
The Indians got to Red Ruffing (9-12) early and held on to finally win game one of the doubleheader. Babe Ruth hit a three-run homerun (#42, 140) in the ninth to pull the Yankees to within one, but Mel Harder got the third out before any more damage could happen. Indians Second baseman Johnny Hodapp went 5-for-5 with a double and two runs scored for the day.
Note: Cleveland starter Clint Brown (11-10) complained of elbow pain in the bottom of the eighth and was replaced by Harder.
New York (AL) (H) 4 Cleveland 3 (GM 2)
Dusty Cooke drove in two with a triple in the first and the Yankees led 4-0 after two. Herb Pennock (8-6) kept the Indians bats quiet until the seventh when Bob Seeds hit a two run homerun as part of the three-run rally, but that was it for the Indians as the two teams split the doubleheader.
Philadelphia (AL) 8 Washington (H) 3
Washington has gone 12-5 versus Philadelphia so far, meaning they only have five games left against each other in their final ~30 games left to play. This is the first of a three-game series, today in Washington, the next two in Philadelphia. The Nationals know if they want to cut into the A's 3.5 game lead this would be the time to do it because time is starting to run out.
Jimmie Foxx drove in two runs with a double in the top of the first and then Al Simmons did the same in the third as the A's got off to a quick 5-0 lead versus General Crowder (10-14). Rube Walberg (13-7) went all the way for the victory to extend the A's lead.
New York (NL) 2 Chicago (NL) (H) 0
Freddie Fitzsimmons (16-6) kept the Giants faint hopes alive by only allowing four hits and shutting out the first place Cubs. Guy Bush (6-9) didn't pitch appreciably well but got out of a couple of bases-loaded jams to keep the Cubs within striking distance.
Cincinnati (H) 6 Pittsburgh 5 (GM 1)
The Pirates twice had early leads, but the Reds wouldn't be denied as they kept coming back, eventually taking a 6-3 lead. The Pirates scored twice in the eighth and then had two runners on in the ninth, but could never get that one crucial hit when they needed it. Benny Frey (12-5) got the win in game one of the doubleheader.
Note: Frey hit George Grantham with a pitch in the first inning and Grantham was removed from the game. Paul Waner was hit-by-pitch later in the game, and then with two outs in the ninth Frey hit Denny Sothern and Frey was ejected from the game. Si Johnson relieved and got the one out save.
Cincinnati (H) 6 Pittsburgh 4 (GM 2)
The Pirates have been stuck behind the Reds in the standings for several weeks now and were hoping for a doubleheader sweep to make up some of that ground, but instead, it was the Reds who got the sweep. Ray Kolp (11-4) didn't allow a run until the seventh, and then the Pirates scored three times to temporarily take a 4-3 lead. The Reds bounced right back with three of their own in the bottom of the eighth and the Reds had their sweep.
St. Louis (NL) (H) 11 Philadelphia (NL) 2 (GM 1)
Chuck Klein (#29, 126) and Spud Davis hit early homeruns to give the Phillies a quick 2-0 lead, but Cardinal starter Jim Lindsey (6-2) stiffened and didn't allow any more runs and the Cardinals won the first game of the doubleheader. The bottom three in the Cardinals lineup - Gus Mancuso, Charlie Gelbert, and Lindsey - all scored twice as part of the Cardinals offensive surge.
Note: After the game, the Cardinals reported that left fielder Chick Hafey will likely miss the next two weeks due to an undisclosed injury.
St. Louis (NL) (H) 7 Philadelphia (NL) 4 (GM 2)
Again the Phillies scored early but then went silent as the Cardinals mounted a late-inning comeback. Don Hurst drove in two with a double in the first, and the Phillies eventually led 3-0 heading into the bottom of the sixth. In the sixth, the Cardinals scored twice, and then in the seventh Sparky Adams drove home two with double to give the Cardinals the lead. The
