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 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.
