How I Export Statistics

[@farmermaggott]

How do you collate and enter stats into spreadsheet? What’s your procedure? Score a bunch of games and manually enter? Do you use tally method sheets or traditional scorebook? Would love to see the next steps!

@@farmermaggott Great question! I play a series using all 26 teams and then enter the stats into the spreadsheet. I use the scoresheets from the APBA website. They’re free to download.

Hi Jeff looking forward to your replay. You mentioned previously you use as played lineups.. my question is how do you handle the bullpen, do you only pitch players that pitched in the actual game? If not who do you have in the bullpen each day? Also do you play injuries? Looking for some tips to start my own replay. Thanks again

@@michaelkvitz8976 I try to follow the way the managers did in real-life, but I don’t necessarily do it exactly as they did. I use real-life injuries and incorporate them into the game. So, for 1987, I disregard injuries in APBA when I roll the dice. However, in 1981, there is a gap from June 12-August 9 when the strike occurred. I will be using injuries in the game when that happens. One rule of thumb I try to use with my bullpens is that when I have a righty starting, I’ll usually go with a lefty as the first relief pitcher. Then, if I use another relief pitcher, I’ll go with a righty. Also, I will bring in my closer in the 7th or 8th inning because that’s what they did back then. So I try to stay true to the era. Hope that helps!
