Kurt, For the most part, I already know how to play this game, and I do enjoy my time whenever I do play. I really enjoyed your slower, deliberate, instructive style of play in this game. Nice job! It was helpful to me in a few situations, and no doubt very helpful to anyone just trying to learn the game, or making a decision about possibly purchasing the game. In future games, you can speed up just a little, but continue to explain any plays that might be confusing. Very nice job!
I rechecked the rules. A failed home run followed by failed range check is always a double and 2 bases for HRp/HRo/HR8 at ballpark. You did well. Thanks for sharing the sixties. Senators was a team I could watch on tv as a kid along with Orioles and Phillies and some Pirates games. Thanks again.
I think the key to the RP@ --> [HRp] check is to not think about it as the batter almost getting a home run. Instead, the pitcher grooved one to the batter and the home run check is looking to see if he got a home run swing on it. It isn't a "deep drive" check like some other games have. Since the answer was no, you now check to see if the outfielder got to the ball he hit out there, but there isn't necessarily a reason to think it was almost a HR and thus why it could legitimately be a single. Really enjoyed the video though...looking forward to more!
You did a nice job with your first stream of inside pitch. I only use strategy rolls when men are on base. The reason is simply base stealing, balks, pickoffs, and pickoff errors. I choose when to steal and seldom hit and run. Thanks for sharing.
You should make Olfa Rotary Cutting Boards pay for the naming rights to your tabletop stadium. Then, you can start each video with, "Live From the Olfadome..."
Kurt I thought this was going to more of a tutorial type demo. I’m not being critical I would like to see how different situation come out so that when they happen to me I am confident that I made the correct decision. See you tomorrow at 11. Thanks for taking the time to do these type videos.
For the first at-bat with Bill Robinson the pitcher result was EG? and the batter result was S6. The new v3 charts change that sequence to a roll against the batter's BR to see if he "beats out the throw" for a single as opposed to an error check (if it was a G# then you DO check for an error, S# checks against the BR of the batter but no error check). I still get tripped up by this change.
@43:19, I would play this as Howard was not able to make the catch to prevent the HR, but successfully played it off the wall to hold the runner to a tape measure single with a strong throw to 2nd
Keep them coming Kurt!!

With Nen, and later Toby Harrah, this franchise had at least two palindromic players.

Frank Howard is on my inside pitch league team - awesome player / hitter
Should be a fun project. Looking forward to it. :-)

I will go slower in my next opening day, which will be coming soon. Thanks for the suggestion!

Great idea-thanks!!
What was bizarre about Charlie Smith's baseball cards? Other than being spelled Charlie some years and Charley in other years.
Great game Kurt, it’s starting to look clearer to play now. How is the fun factor to you?
Richert is RIK-ert.
Good call-sorry
