1969 SOM AsPlayed Replay and more

This blog started in 2011 with my attempt to manage the 1969 Detroit Tigers to an AL Championship. Just finished my 1987 asplayed replay (using SOM Baseball 2013 with the cards). As always I managed the Detroit Tigers and succeeded in winning the World Series. 1987 was put on hold while I 'played along' with the 2013 MLB season, so it took over a year to complete. In the 'Favorite sites/links' section are blogs for other seasons I've done: 1911, 1934, 1950, 1971 and more. (View blog fullscreen)

2012 World Series Game 6

The Detroit Tigers are the 2012 MLB Champions! (boy it feels good to say that). Detroit came out swinging in game 6 and scored 7 runs by the 5th inning, then held on to defeat the San Francisco Giants 7-4. Everyone in the Tigers lineup contributed to the victory and Detroit ends up winning the 2012 World Series 4 games to 2.

Jose Valverde quieted any hopes that San Francisco may have had of a comeback
at AT&T Park where the Detroit Tigers beat the San Francisco Giants 7 to
4.
 
Doug Fister(4-1) struggled but was good enough to win with the help of some
fine defensive plays.  He gave up 10 hits and 1 walk in 5 innings.  Valverde
was great in relief and recorded his 4th save.  
 
Matt Cain(1-3) was the loser.  Detroit knocked him around a bit, as he gave up
5 runs in 4 innings.

2012 World Series Game 3

(Now this is something I'd like to see in the REAL game 3 of the World Series in Detroit): The Detroit Tigers pounded SF starting pitcher Ryan Volgelsong, who was gone before the 2nd inning was over, and went on to defeat the Giants by the score of 15-3. Detroit's Prince Fielder hit a grand slam in the 1st and a 3 run homer in the 2nd, giving Tiger starter Anibal Sanchez all the runs he would need for the win. Detroit now has a 2 games to 1 lead in the 2012 WS. (Sorry, but I don't know what happened to the boxscore below)

Fielder was really 'in the zone'. He hit a 'grand salami' to the delight of his teammates in the 1st inning, smacked a three-run homer in the 2nd inning and laced a base-knock in the 6th inning. Detroit bats were hot in the 1st inning when they had 4 runs on 4 hits and the 5th inning which saw them score 4 runs on 4 hits. Offensively, Detroit was a juggernaut. They scored in 6 separate innings. Anibal Sanchez(3-1) went 7 and 1/3 innings allowing 1 run for the victory. Ryan Vogelsong(1-1) was the loser. 'I didn't feel that good when I came to the park tonight,' Fielder said. 'I'm glad I decided to play!' 2011 San Francisco Giants At 2011 Detroit Tigers 10/27/2012 Giants AB R H RBI AVG Tigers AB R H RBI AVG A.Pagan LF 4 1 1 0 .259 A.Jackson CF 5 1 2 1 .327 M.Scutaro 2B 4 0 0 0 .283 Q.Berry RF 5 2 2 0 .250 H.Pence RF 4 0 0 0 .210 M.Cabrera 3B 4 2 1 0 .308 P.Sandoval 3B 4 1 3 1 .396 P.Fielder 1B 5 3 3 7 .250 B.Posey C 3 0 0 0 .226 J.Peralta SS 5 3 3 2 .278 A.Huff DH 3 1 0 0 .000 A.Avila C 4 1 2 0 .279 B.Belt 1B 3 0 1 1 .160 B.Boesch DH 5 2 2 2 .133 G.Blanco CF 4 0 3 1 .256 O.Infante 2B 5 1 2 3 .217 B.Crawford SS 3 0 0 0 .143 A.Dirks LF 4 0 0 0 .200 -- -- -- --- -- -- -- --- Totals 32 3 8 3 Totals 42 15 17 15 Giants.......... 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 2 - 3 8 1 Tigers.......... 4 3 1 0 4 2 0 1 - 15 17 0 Giants (8-5) IP H R ER BB SO HR PC ERA R.Vogelsong LOSS(1-1) 1 2/3 7 7 7 1 2 2 52 4.60 C.Hensley 2 2/3 2 3 3 1 3 1 44 5.79 B.Zito 1 2/3 5 4 4 1 0 1 46 16.20 R.Ortiz 1 1/3 1 1 1 0 2 0 16 2.08 J.Lopez 0 2/3 2 0 0 0 0 0 15 2.70 Totals 8 17 15 15 3 7 4 Tigers (9-5) IP H R ER BB SO HR PC ERA A.Sanchez WIN(3-1) 7 1/3 5 1 1 2 8 0 109 3.55 A.Alburquerq 1 1/3 1 2 2 1 3 0 28 4.50 D.Smyly 0 1/3 2 0 0 0 0 0 12 0.00 Totals 9 8 3 3 3 11 0 ATTENDANCE- 40,270 DATE- Saturday, October 27th 2012 TIME- Night WEATHER- Good UMPIRES- Bruce Dreckman, Paul Emmel, Rob Drake, Gary Darling T- 2:58 LEFT ON BASE- Giants: 6 Tigers: 6 DOUBLE PLAYS- Giants: 0 Tigers: 2 ERRORS- B.Crawford DOUBLES- A.Pagan(2nd), G.Blanco(4th), B.Boesch(1st), O.Infante(2nd) TRIPLES- O.Infante(2nd) HOME RUNS- P.Fielder-2(3rd), J.Peralta(2nd), B.Boesch(1st) CAUGHT STEALING- P.Sandoval WALKS- B.Posey, A.Huff, B.Crawford, M.Cabrera, A.Avila, A.Dirks HIT BY PITCH- B.Belt STRIKE OUTS- A.Pagan-2, H.Pence-3, B.Posey, A.Huff, B.Belt-2, B.Crawford-2, A.Jackson-2, P.Fielder-2, A.Avila, B.Boesch, O.Infante GIDP- B.Posey, A.Huff 2-out RBI- P.Sandoval, P.Fielder-3, O.Infante, B.Belt, G.Blanco

2012 World Series Game 1

Not the start to the WS I was looking for. SF jumped on Justin Verlander in the 1st inning when Marco Scutaro launched a 2 run blast. The Giants added runs in the 3rd, 5th and 6th including a solo shot by Buster Posey. The Tigers had a few chances against Lincecum but couldn't come up with a big hit when needed. Game 1 goes to SF 5-1.

My 2012 MLB 'play-a-long' season

Been awhile since I've posted on this blog, mainly because the 1969 replay is over, but circumstances on my current project have compelled me to add to this blog. After completeing the 1969 asplayed replay I began a 1911 asplayed replay. That replay was put on hold shortly after I began my annual current MLB play-a-long season.
For many years (starting when I was a kid), after I got SOM's new cards I've made all the trades, added fringe players and played along with the current MLB season as closely as possible while it was in progress.. I've never posted results from my annual play-a-longs before but this 2012 season has come down to the same matchup in the World Series as in real life: My Detroit Tigers vs.the San Francisco Giants. So I thought I'd post results from my World Series here as the games begin today.
A little background before my 2012 World Series: The Detroit Tigers defeated the Los Angeles Angels in the ALCS 4 games to 2. The San Francisco Giants defeated the Philadelphia Phillies 4 games to 1 in the NLCS. Game 1 in SF has Tim Lincecum of the Giants facing off against Justin Verlander of the Tigers. Any acumulated stats shown, such as batting average and pitching records, are total postseason numbers.

1969 AsPlayed Replay Wrap Up

The Baltimore Orioles emerged victorious as World Champions of my 1969 MLB season replay that concluded last week and took a year for me to finish. Between playing along with the current MLB season, other SOM projects and just living life, one year seems to be the time I need to enjoyably play an entire retro season.
My goal in every replay is to manage the Detroit Tigers to an AL Championship, so I fell short with the 1969 season. Baltimore was just too strong. They had the best record in MLB at 104-58. My Tigers finished 98-64, 6 games behind the Orioles in the AL East. Baltimore under-performed by 5 games when compared to their actual record in '69. Detroit over-performed by 8 games. That led to an exciting, season long chase by Detroit. But to be honest, I never felt I had a good enough team to overtake them. Detroit did not have the pitching depth Baltimore had. I also couldn't put a team on the field that compared to the Orioles every day starters. Baltimore sat on top of the AL East all season long, except for 3 days in early July when the Tigers swept a 3 game series from them and moved into 1st place, temporarily.
Baltimore swept a very strong Minnesota Twins team in the AL Championship Series and then defeated the New York Mets 4 games to 1 in the World Series. The Mets were surprise winners in the NL. I didn't think they had a good enough team to win like they did in real life. In my replay, they didn't climb into 1st place in the NL East until the last week of the season. The Chicago Cubs led the NL East for the 1st 4 months of the season and the Pittsburgh Pirates led for most of the last 2 months. But the Mets passed them both by and finished 2 games ahead of the Pirates. The Atlanta Braves won the NL West walking away from their competition but got swept by New York in the NL Championship Series.

The 1969 season had a good balance of great pitching and great hitting. The NL produced seven 20 game winners and the AL had 4. In the NL, Hank Aaron (55) and Willie McCovey (50) topped 50 HR. In the AL, Frank Howard and Reggie Jackson both hit 53 HR. Both leagues each had over 12 players hitting better than .300.

NL Top Pitchers: Koosman (NY) 24-6, 1.75ERA, 217K; Marichal (SF) 24-10, 1.63, 221; Dierker (HOS) 22-11, 2.22, 212; Jenkins (CHI) 22-16, 2.99 305; Reed (ATL) 21-4, 2.43, 152.

AL Top Pitchers: Cuellar (BAL) 25-6, 2.42ERA, 203K; McLain (DET) 22-9, 2.79, 180; McDowell (CLV) 22-11, 3.11, 281; Boswell (MIN) 20-10, 2.74, 192; Lolich (DET) 18-10, 2.67, 274.

NL Top Batters: Aaron (ATL) .342BA, 55HR, 134RBI; McCovey (SF) .324, 50, 126; Williams (CHI) .323, 30, 125; Perez (CIN) .300, 35, 111; Agee (NY) .283, 36, 94; Clemente (PIT) .342, 26, 98.

AL Top Batters: Howard (WAS) .307BA, 53HR, 126; Jackson (OAK) .315, 53, 116; Killebrew (MIN) .269, 48, 142; Epstein (WAS) .320, 41, 104, Powell (BAL) .322, 36, 95; Yastrzemski (BSN) .268, 46, 119.

Like I said, 1969 was a very strong, balanced season in both hitting and pitching. Changes to the pitching mound and strike zone prior to the '69 season helped increase batting production after an anemic year of hitting in 1968. Even though the only close pennant races were in the East divisions of both leagues, it was a very fun season to replay.
1969 was a year of expansion in baseball. For the 1st time, there were 2 divisions in each league and League Championship playoffs were needed to determine the World Series participants. I finished the replay using the new Baseball 2012 version from SOM and am now getting ready to do my annual 'play-along' of the current MLB season, 2012 this year. Next up for a retro asplayed replay will be the 1911 season. It will be the oldest, carded season I have ever done.
