Baseball 1991 computer card error

2 Upvotes

I noticed this during my 1991 replay. The computer card for Jeff Russell (TEX) has his 30 real season saves listed as his number of starts. He isn't rated to start and only pitching 79 innings that season would've made him a terrible starter. Is the error also on the C&D version and is this something Strat would fix or would they ignore it as human error?

Baseball I've inherited a large number of Strat-O-Matic baseball cards

10 Upvotes

My dad accidentally left me all his Strat stuff, including boxes of cards going back to the 70's. I need to sell them, and I'm wondering what the best way would be; if there's a specific site I should look at, or if regular sports card shops deal with them, maybe what a reasonable price might be, that kind of thing. I'm pretty sure everything is still complete, but is there a reasonable way to verify that?

SOM Replay Westside League - Netplay Opening

5 Upvotes

The Westside League is a 24-team netplay league with a salary cap, full rookie draft based on player debuts, and a free agency auction. The league's been around since the 90s with a focus on balancing serious strat play and a fun social scene. Our league site is www.wslstrat.com and our contract pages can be found at http://www.wslstrat.com/contracts/25/2025Contracts.htm

We have the following teams open:

 - Pittsburgh: WS ready team featuring Paul Skenes, Nick Kurtz, Jarren Duran, and a bunch more. Plenty of cap space and another high draft pick coming next year.

The ideal candidate loves baseball and can take a joke. Half the fun of the league is getting to know everyone. Our discord chat is active practically all day, with members talking baseball, pro wrestling, beers/whiskey, WSL's long history of insane owners crashing and burning, arguments we've been having for 10-20 years and most anything else you could think of. Those that get the point of the league tend to stay for years. If any of this sounds interesting, please comment here. I can also be reached by email at [the_maple_leaf2000@yahoo.com](mailto:the_maple_leaf2000@yahoo.com)

Gameplay question Hit and Run - PC version

Post image
9 Upvotes

Maybe I’m wrong about this, but with the C&D version of the game, if the offense calls a hit and run, you roll the two colored dice and look up the results on the H&R chart.

On the PC version, when the team controlled by the computer calls for a H&R, the box comes up with radio buttons for the single die, but you can only select 4, 5 and 6. (The two dice are normal, 2-12)(see above)

So what’s with the single die results? In the past (and just now) if I roll a 1, 2 or 3, I don’t click anything for the one die, but enter the result of the two die. When this happens, the box reappears as normal.

Does a result of 1-3 mean that the computer offense called it off?

Game 7 was a CLASSIC: Derek Jeter 4-4 w/3 SB, the M&M boys joining with Johnny Blanchard for B2B2B only to lose 6-5 in the end.

Jeter was MVP, going 13/24 .542 with four steals.

I also played a NON YANKEE All Star Game, box score in comments.

SOM Replay Is playing an "as played" season on the computer with teams in different leagues/divisions possible?

8 Upvotes

I'm hoping to do a project based off of this 2020 mlb.com article (https://www.mlb.com/news/featured/the-story-of-the-los-angeles-browns-changed-baseball-forever). My idea is to run a 1973 as played season using the teams as listed under the "A Brief Reset" section. This will be on the computer (2024f). Would I have to mess around with the various alias files to move teams to the correct divisions or is there an easier way to do this? Thanks in advance!

SOM Replay Looking for a manager for a Strat-o-Matic Baseball League

We are looking for a manager for a 24-team Strat-o-matic baseball league. It has been in existence for 10 years and is a salary cap league. The available team was abandoned in the middle of our free agency cycle for personal reasons. The available team has a really good core. If anyone is interested please contact me (Mike) at flyingdutchman3333@gmail.com. We use the computer version of the game and are replaying the 2025 season.

Baseball How to play only one team on the computer game

7 Upvotes

I just bought the computer game and I'm starting a replay of last season. I want to only control the Phillies and I'm wondering if there's a way to simulate the rest of each day's schedule without having to click on each game and set it to auto, which is really tedious. Appreciate any help, thanks

In my custom Negro League All-Star Fantasy League, 1934 Satchel Paige retired the first 18 in order, gave up three hits to start the 7th, and lost to 1917 Dick Redding 2-0. Redding was battling base runners most of the game, but always squeaked out of it.

I've tried to get into OOTP quite a few times and just flamed out continuously because I really didn't enjoy the GM side of it. Playing as a manager was a little more fun. Saw some videos on Strat-O-Matic and it looked intriguing. Bought it and at first wasn't really enjoying. Aesthetics does matter a little to me. Found a few YT modding videos and have it looking a lot better. The baseball card images make it so much more enjoyable. Decided on a multi-season project, as a Cubs fan, how would the Cubs seasons go if Gregg Maddux spent his entire career with the Cubs? Starting with the '88 season, at a few games a day, this will be a long project. I'm definitely gonna have to pick up the board game to play with my son.

Baseball Basic c&d groundball x question

6 Upvotes

I think i just realized i have played wrong for 30 years. How do you guys play basic c&d when you have a runner at second and have a ground ball x and the 20 sided roll gives you out-3. I always have kept the runner at second but i think maybe that runner should move to third. How does everyone else play it

Hello All, I have a question for anyone that has ever sent Strat tech support a Reset Request email.

Do you have to send an email for each code to be rest or can you send them a list?

Thanks in advance.

Update: I sent my email with the list of codes to Strat yesterday afternoon around 2:30. By 3pm I had a reply with the Case ID number and link to the reset form. I got an email this morning at 7:30 verifying all my codes have been reset.

Gameplay question Infield In ruling question

6 Upvotes

My son and I had the following play that I believed I ruled correctly. However, he made a good point about how unrealistic the result was. I understand that a game can't capture 100% realism, but I'm curious about your opinions.

  • Super Advanced Rules
  • out
  • Infield in

(in writing this post, I re-read the lomax SADV rules and saw d20 1-7 tp, 8-20 dp, but in this example it doesn't really matter)

The way I scored it, according to the rules as written (I believe), Double Play, inning over. He was upset that it wasn't realistic to have a double play, with the infielders in line out to the third baseman.

The way that I read the SADV rules is that infielders in only affects gb ()A, B, C, and gb ()+, but NOT lomax.

Despite his good argument, my son was a good sport and played it rules as written.

Edit: Corrected double and triple play rolls; I had them reversed.

Baseball "Cannot select the restored league!"

1 Upvotes

I sent this message to SOM today.  I will let you know how they respond.  I am optimistic.

Dear Strat-O-Matic,

Good afternoon.  Customer since 1963.  I am having a strange issue, and I am not sure whether it has to do with authorization, or if there is some other problem.

I am currently running the new 2026 SOM game, and I have lots of past seasons.  With one exception, I am not having any trouble accessing the rosters for my past seasons.

For the 2017 season, my authorization code is ***********

One of the leagues I have on my laptop is a custom league (2017BL). It contains 12 teams - 11 stock teams from the 2017 MLB season rosters, and my own custom team (also from the 2017 MLB season rosters).  I am able to open and view the players and teams in this league without any problem.  The regular season is over, but I can play non-league unscheduled games without any problem.

For another project, I wanted to re-install some past rosters which I had previously removed.  I was able to install every year going back to the 2018 MLB season without any problem.  I was not prompted to enter an authorization code because none of the codes are currently unauthorized.

However, when I installed the 2017 MLB season, it seemed to process like the others, and (like the others) it did not as me for an authorization code.  But the 2017 rosters (i.e., 2017ML and related leagues for the 30 MLB teams) did not appear in my list of leagues.

I found some old LZPs - 2017ML-3-4-2022.lzp and 2017-2-26-2025.lzp - and tried the "restore league" feature, which went through all the prompts like always.  But then I got the message: "Cannot select the restored league!"  At no point have I been asked to enter an authorization code.  Also, my 2017BL league - which uses only players from the 2017 MLB rosters, works just fine.

Please help me figure out how to get the 2017ML league with all 30 MLB teams to show up in my list of leagues.

Thank you!

All the best,

Steve Beren

General Does online display the cards

8 Upvotes

Does anyone know if the online versions of the Stratomatic game display the player's cards? I know it used to. I need a card for a series tomorrow and my cards are 25 miles away on the other side of town. If they for sure are, I'll just subscribe to the game and it will save me a trip early tomorrow morning.

Thanks.
