Week 24 Summary (09/23/1957 - 09/29/1957)

Brooks Robinson
Week 24 is in the books and the regular season for the 1957 replay is completed. The Milwaukee Braves and the Chicago White Sox will tangle in the "I-94 Series" as only ~80 miles separate the two cities. I am expecting a heated rivalry between the two cities and it should be a good series.

I will write up a team-by-team final summary and include that in a separate post, as well as a separate post for a final stats review. Once I get all the regular season tasks completed then it will be time to roll the World Series, so more to come.

    Looks like White Sox scoring 93 more runs in the replay pushed them over the top and over the Yankees. Cards struggled vs Cincy and Cubs hurt them. Love the PYTH data, as always.

    Roger, was this playoff the most fun yet?

1957 Team-by-Team Recap

Background This replay was completed using BBW 5.75 and a 1957-3R season disk. Actual gameplay started in mid-June 2020 and completed in mid-January 2021, so seven months to complete the regular season. There were probably 2-3 months of set-up and pre-season work time put in before gameplay started, but I haven’t actually played the World Series yet, so I am not quite done. If you want to just round it off and say it took me a year to complete, that is fine with me.   The 1957 disk and cards are actually a 3R set or a third revision. I do like the revised sets. Every player is carded (or disked), the cards include the Master Game symbols, and the offensive, defensive, and pitching numbers have been adjusted according to the current algorithms. The changes are not drastic, but I do think they even out some of the rough edges, especially in the area of pitching grades. I previously completed a replay using the 1949-R disk previously and was pleased with the outcome just as I wa...

1957 World Series and Finale

World Series Preparations I have the lineups and pitching rotations from the actual World Series available, so that at least covers the Milwaukee side of the coin. The only real question for the White Sox is who plays first base and that is dependent upon a left or right-handed pitcher, so I will utilize their standard lineup and platoon accordingly. Both teams have a pretty set rotation that I will plug in, with Warren Spahn and Billy Pierce getting the game one, four, and seven assignments.   All of the regulars are hereby deemed healthy and ready to play, and I decided that Larry Doby was healthy enough to go full speed in the event of a World Series. He was "rested" for much of the last month of the season as it was, so I am going with "the White Sox were getting him ready for post-season play." I intend to bring a regular late-game defensive replacement for Doby, as needed.   When New York played Brooklyn in the 1949 World Series there were no off ...

Week 4 Summary (05/06/1957 - 05/12/1957)

Week four of the 1957 replay is in the books and the standings continue to be in flux as teams in both leagues jockey for early position. All teams have passed the twenty games played mark as the regular Sunday doubleheaders appear to keep teams from falling behind and keeps teams at a more-or-less even keel with regards to the schedule.   Cincinnati currently sits atop the NL standings, with St. Louis, Philadelphia, and Pittsburgh all tied at 1.5 games behind the NL leader. Cincinnati has the offense, but their lack of pitching will catch up with them sooner or later. St. Louis went on a mid-week five-game winning streak and zoomed up to second place, while Philadelphia and Pittsburgh tried to knock each other down over the past few days. For a team that is supposed to finish tied for last the Pirates have a decent core of players – they have some pitching, their defense is OK, and their offense has some pop. Having said that, I still think their hot start is about to come to ...
