Statistically Accurate Baseball
S.A.B. ver87
This version of Statistically Accurate Baseball is released to the
public domain as Shareware included is four teams to start you off with.
The 1986 METS, 1984 CUBS, 1970 REDS, and 1962 GIANTS. If you find you
enjoy this game then please send $12.00 for 32 more of the best teams of
all time with at least one team included for each city. This money
covers my three years of hard work, shipping, and a disk. Also my wife
might let me create a football program.
A little bit about me. My name is Joe Damore I am 32 years old and I
work for GTE Directories Corp. as a System Tech. on a Interleaf driven
Sun system. I am happly maried with 3 childern ages 12, 4, and 3. I have
owned a Atari something or other since 1976. 2600 game system, 800
computer, 130xe, and now a 520st with a 1meg upgrade, and a sc1224, two
drives one 360k one 720k, and last but not least a sh204.
Now a little info on my program. I worked almost 3 years to create a
baseball fans baseball game. This game is statistically accurate if you
were to play a 162 game season a player should bat very close to his
average of that season or pitcher should be right on with his ERA.
But you as the manager can make a difference in a teams season of about
10 games buy putting the right pinch hitter in or calling on the right
relief pitcher etc. This game does not have fancy graphics but like I
said it does have realism. Also one nine inning game can be played in
15 minutes this is great for baseball leagues as 8 games can be played
in 2 hours. At the end of the game it prints out a score sheet so you
can enjoy the game and not keep the stats yourself.
Whats to come for baseball fans my next release of teams will be the
complete 1987 baseball season, with these teams there will be a drafting
program that will let you be manager of a hand picked team. These new
teams and the drafting program should be ready by April 7th 1988. At a
very low cost of only $8.00. Also the next change in the baseball
program will allow you to total each teams stats on a stats disk so you
won't have to add up all those score sheets that will be a free upgrade.
Also if you want a team created that I don't have in my best teams set
I will create one for you at $5.00 per team with a two team minimum.
Thank you very much and "PLAY BALL" !!!!!!

Statistically Accurate Baseball
To play ball, double click on the program named SAB87.PRG. This
will start the loading and running of the baseball program. When the
program has finished loading you will see a message on the screen
with a copyright notice.
Now click the mouse once to begin. Next pick the home team and
then the visiting team by clicking the mouse on the team you want from
the file selector box.
After you have picked the teams you want, you will now select the
starting pitchers by clicking the mouse on the RN numbers that are in
front of the pitchers name.
Last but not least it is time to choose your starting lineups for
each team. This menu screen will display each players name and thier
most important stats. It will also have a PRESET lineup. Now look over
the stats and see if you what to use the PRESET lineup or select a
lineup of your OWN choice. To do this just click the on the box PRESET
or OWN. If you choose the PRESET lineup there is nothing else to do
but, if you selected OWN you now must make your OWN lineup. What you
do first is click the mouse on the RN number of the player you want and,
then move the mouse to the bottom of the screen to click on the position
you want him to play. Repeat this until all nine players have been
picked.
After you have selected both lineups you should now see the
Main action screen. This is where every thing happens during the game.
The top half of the Main action screen has the Scoreboard, Outs made in
the inning and, the Base Runners on base situation. All this keeps you
informed on the games progress inning by inning. The bottom half of the
Main action screen is the area where both managers make thier strategy
decisions and, where you also see the outcome of each play. The defensive
manager makes his decision first then the offensive manager makes his
decision. You do this by clicking the mouse on the decision you want.
Don't worry about keeping stats S.A.B. does that for you. And at
the end of the game it will ask you if you want a printout if you
have a printer, or you can print them to the screen if you don't.
Also at any time during the game you can see the starting lineup for
either team by clicking the mouse on NEW PITCHER for the defensive team,
or clicking the mouse on PINCH HITTER for the offensive team. You are now
ready to playball.
Rules Built Into The Program
There are certain rules built into the program pertaining to
Strategy. If you accidentally violate one of these rules you will
be see a alert box telling you what you did wrong.
SQUEEZE BUNT: Can only be used when there
is a runner on 3rd base.
SACRIFICE BUNT: Cannot be used with runner
on 3rd base.
STEALING: You cannot steal a base
already occupied.
INFIELD IN: You cannot use unless there
is at least 1 runner on base.
HOLDING A RUNNER ON BASE: You cannot use unless there
is at least 1 runner on base.
HIT&RUN: You cannot use with a runner
on 3rd base.
DESINATED HITTER: Each team has a Desinated
hitter in the lineup.
DOUBLE STEAL: If a runner on 2nd base attempts
steal 3rd base and there is a
runner on 1st base this auto-
matically starts a double steal
attempt.
Defensive Coaching Decisions
PLAY NORMAL: Usually this is the most often defensive
selection. Best situations to use would
be with no men on or poor base stealer
is on 1st base.
HOLD RUNNER ON: You would use this to help prevent
good base stealers from running on
you. But this also improves a batters
chance to get a base hit by leaving a
hole between 1st and 2nd base.
INT. WALK: You are allowed to intentionally walk
any batter. Good situations would be
with 1st base open and a runner on 2nd
base to put you in the position for a
doubleplay. Or with men on and a good
hitter up with two outs.
INFIELD IN: Playing the infield in decreases the
scoring chances of a runner on 3rd base.
It also decreases the chances of a player
sacrificing a runner to scoring position.
However it increases the batters chances
of hitting safely if he swings away, and
also decreases the chances of doubleplay.
NEW PITCHER: A defensive manager buy picking either
of these two selections can view his
starting lineup and make a player change
during the game. He can also just view his
players ratings during the game and go back
to the main menu with out a change.
Offensive Coaching Decisions
SWING AWAY: The batter just takes his cuts. This should
be the most often used offensive play.
BUNT: Used to advance base runners into scoring
position in a close game. You can also bunt
for hit if you want.
STEAL: If you pick this play during the game,a
screen will appear to ask you what base you
want to steal. It will also tell you if the
runner was safe or out. Also, if you are
stealing 3rd base with a runner on 1st base
a double steal will occur automatically.
The catcher will throw at the man trying to
steal 3rd base.
HIT & RUN: It should be used with one or no outs.So
that your base runners have a better chance
to advance to the next base. But it also
decreases a batters batting Average.
SQUEEZE BUNT: It should only be used with one or no outs
and a runner on 3rd base. A good bunter
will have a good chance to score the runner
on 3rd.
PINCH HITTER: The offensive manager can pinch hit any
time he wants.He can also pick this choice
to view his staring lineup to look at his
player ratings.
