Replay Set Ups, Etc. (2024)

For those that are involved in replays, I have a few questions:

1. How many are doing them “as played”?
2. When playing as a “solo” team, how are you setting up each game?

I use https://www.retrosheet.org/ for the as-played lineups and play both home and road. As the start of a series, I will usually save the lineups for both teams as the next game will likely have similar lineups. I try to keep the pitching similar to as used, but there are always differences… like I wouldn’t necessarily put in a closer in a blowout etc…

Right now there is no easy way to keep up with trades so I just use the stock teams. If there was a way to copy a league to custom teams, I would do that and then just move players as the trades occurred.

I use Baseball almanac to copy that games lineup as best I can. If there were trades you will not find some players so I just try to replace with an equal player. For example, if I am playing the 73 Braves (I am The Mets) and Hank Aaron is not in the lineup but his replacement is not on the roster, I would not put Aaron in. I would put another player in.

I play Solitaire mostly. The bad part is the AI manager will use Tom Seaver as a closer where that is not reality. If i was not playing AI I’d see who pitched that day and use only those pitchers.

@vinman Hi!

Have you tried setting the mm’s lineup and benching the pitchers you don’t want it to use?

Thanks,
Jeremy

I am currently replaying as played 1984R. I use baseball-reference for linueps and benching players as stated by Jeremy. Teams’ pitching- game logs will show for the month/season all the pitchers used. I save lineups under the name of the starting pitcher so I can just select his name when pitches and everything other than a tweek to the lineup is ready to go.

I am using Malcom to play games I dont care about and it seems “ok”. He never lets pitchers go past 7 innings so that is a minus but I guess he does the job.

I play as played when replaying one team. I use the lineup from Baseball Almanac. I use the starting pitcher and relievers that entered. I am not exact on the reliever entry and they may never even enter, they are available. If a player is not on the roster I do not go crazy I just use a similar player so if a star player is sitting I keep him out.

Full season replay I am using default lineups and using the actual start and keeping the relievers that entered available.
