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)

1987 AL News Recap

With the 1987 MLB season heading into August there's been many standout performances in the AL. Toronto's George Bell may be having the best year of anyone. He leads MLB with 40 HR and 105 RBI while hitting .304. Boston's Wade Boggs is tops in the AL with a .385 BA. Minnesota's Kirby Puckett has led the Twins with his .334, 24, 92 numbers. In Detroit, rookie catcher Matt Nokes continues to surprise with a .353 BA, 2nd in the AL, to go along with 21 HR and 56 RBI. AllStar SS Alan Trammell (.337, 22, 76) is 3rd in AL BA.
Fine pitching has also been provided by the likes of Toronto's Jimmy Key (18-4, 2.73), Minnesota's Bert Blyleven (14-5, 2.85), Boston's Roger Clemens (16-6, 3.00, 180so), and Milwaukee's Teddy Higuera (14-3, 2.48).

1987 NL Standings

Aug. 1, 1987

The MLB season moves into the month of August with the St. Louis Cardinals sailing along at the top of the NL East and the Cincinnati Reds trying to stay on top of the NL West. The Cardinals are playing at a .673% clip and are keeping the Chicago Cubs and the New York Mets a safe distance behind them. Both the Cubs and Mets are having fine seasons and are hoping the Cardinals will falter at some point.
In the NL West, Cincinnati clings to 1st place by a 1/2 game over the Houston Astros after a sub .500 month of play in July. The San Francisco Giants are only 1 game behind and briefly found themselves in 1st place during the past month.

1987 NL News Recap

July has come to a close and the St. Louis Cardinals continue to show they are the top team in the NL. 1st baseman Jack Clark has led the Cardinal's offense (.320BA, 36HR, 103RBI) but it's their pitching, tops in the NL, that have propelled St.Louis to their 68-33 record. Starters Bob Forsch 12-4, Greg Mathews 10-4, and closer Todd Worrell 24 saves head up the staff.
The Cincinnati Reds on the other hand have one of the worst pitching staffs in the NL but continue to hold on to 1st place in the NL West. It's the Reds offense, led by Eric Davis (.311BA, 27HR, 63RBI) and Kal Daniels (.365, 25, 56) that have kept them there.

Alvin Davis ripped 3 homeruns and had 6 RBI as the Seattle Mariners defeated
the Minnesota Twins 8 to 6 at The Kingdome.
 
Davis was a one-man wrecking crew.  He cracked a two-run shot in the 1st
inning, cracked a two-run shot in the 3rd inning and cleared the fences for a
two-run home run in the 5th inning.  It was roller coaster of a game as the
lead change hands 6 times.  
 
Lee Guetterman(7-3) got credit for the victory, pitching 7 innings and
allowing 6 runs. Ed Nunez earned his 6th save.  Mike Smithson(4-2) was
charged with the loss.  He surrended 3 homeruns in his 7 innings.  
 
'I was really seeing the ball today,' Davis said 'I wish it was always this
easy.'
