2 D.Jeter 1 Home Run (LF) b-H bpSI 1-7
2 M.Giles 3 Home Run (LF) b-H bpSI 1-7
2 J.Rollins 1 Home Run (LF) b-H bpSI 1-7

This happened during the series, can somebody explain this? Thanks

A dirty, rotten, stinking bug, that's what happened. Those rolls were actually ballpark HR chances (1-19); they were just displayed wrong in the boxscores. Sorry, I'll have that fixed going forward.

First of all, a display bug seems to have slipped through the cracks during Monday night's debut of the game engine upgrade. This resulted in some ballpark HR chances being misreported as ballpark singles ("bpSI") in the play-by-plays. Rest assured that this is simply a display issue, and that the game results were not affected in any way. We will have this fixed going forward.

Secondly, for you board-game vets who are used to seeing all failed ballpark single chances result in lineouts - you will now see them result in a variety of other outs (flyouts, popouts, groundouts, etc.) as a result of the "Improve Out Distribution" Maximum Rule, as per the CD-ROM game.

Other than the aforementioned display bug I hope the new, more detailed play-by-play report adds to your enjoyment of the game.

It sure does...thanks again Bernie for yet another recent improvement to the game.

Just keeping you guys aware of recent bugs:

1 B.Kielty 3 Single (RF) b-1 bpHR 1-19

Was Kielty facing RHP?
single is result of W power in bpHR roll

yes, Kielty was facing rhp Garland ,My bad, I checked the strat avanced rules later. Rulebook: As in advanced play, players with weak power (W) may not hit homeruns. In this situation, change all homerun results to SINGLE** ( all other runners advance 2 bases.)

In the 18 simulated games that I been in, the lead runner advanced 2 bases on 3 of the 9 situations bpSI came into play, it didn't matter how many outs there were, so I've came to the conclusion that the lead runner advances at his own risk?
