SIM COMPLETE - 1993 - SIM 4

[Jim]

Having some power issues. HTML delayed. Hopefully the blackout didn't screw my league file.

Any chance of HTML? Or power still down?

[Clay]

Not a chance.

OK... now it's up.

[Clay]

Clay, got a broom I could borrow?

Edit: Yes, I realize it must of been a glitch... because there's about a 1/1,000 chance of that ever happening again.

Yes, I'll send it right over.

Injuries killed me again, so I had no one left by our series.... but... a wins a win. Good stuff.

[Carlos]

Wait- you had a chance?

We will never know.

[Carlos]

Latham retired from baseball, when he was 46.

Mysterious Independent Leagues again.

I also like that he's currently 44.

[umd]

There must be an error. There's no way we won 19 games through the first week of May. Should crash back to Earth any minute now. First sign? Durham to the DL.

[spot]

Crash.

Dudley goes down for a month. A losing sim isn't a good thing but we are still hanging with WC. I hope the Bock stays this way all year.

[liquidcrash]

1-6. Here we go again.

But hey, my system is up to 214 points and my top prospects look the part. Sooner or later some of them have to translate at the BLB level, right?

[Matt]

StatsLab is upgrading again. The new draft interface looks pretty sweet. Right now it's only a Beta but I think once it's fine tuned and released we go for it.

-------------------------------------------------------

Well, it's Opening Day, and while this is still officially in BETA (haven't yet run the live draft module through a real draft), I figure I might as well let you guys have a go at it.

Here's what this patch includes:

• New Live Draft module
  • Customizable pick timer lets commish determine how long teams have to pick as well as how long before auto picks are made.
  • Chat pane allows users to discuss the draft as it progresses
  • Audible notifications alert you when it's your turn to pick or a pick is made.
  • Manage your draft list from the live draft page directly.
  • NOTE: The Live Draft module may require league members to update their web browser to a more current version
  • Should be compatible with Internet Explorer 8.0, FireFox 3.5, Safari 3.0, Chrome 3.0, and Opera 10.5 or greater (not all browsers have been verified)
  
  
• New Chat Module
  • Audible notification when a whisper is received or a flagged user posts a message
  • User editable posting colors and alias (with commish ability to set/lock these)
  • Ability to include smiley's, hyperlinks, and font formats
  • Draft Module Enhancements
  • You can now tell StatsLab exactly how many picks are in each round (only need to do this if different than the number of teams in your league)
  
  
• The Spring Training page has been redesigned as a Standings page, which can display the current season standings between any two dates (e.g. show team records just from July and August).
• The player and team leaderboards pages have been completely rewritten and combined into a single point of entry
  • Search results will display with additional stats to aid in comparisons.
  • You can now put a secondary stat condition on your search results, allowing you to do searches such as the lowest batting averages among players who hit 40 home runs in a season.
  • You can now adjust the minimum playing time required for appearing in search results from the default or 3.1 PA or 1.0 IP per team game.
  • Progressive leaderboard searches are now more efficient in an effort to avoid out of memory errors for leagues with long histories. The side effect of this is that you have fewer search options available in progressive searches.
  
  
• The Milestone page now has a third sub-page: Milestones Reached, which gives the same view as Milestone Watch but displaying what the title suggests.
• The Metrics section of StatsLab will default you to your team's history page.
• Annual team history pages now show the team's rank in the league in various batting and pitching stats.
• Player pages will now show the player's career rank in various batting and pitching stats (must be in the top 500)
• The Sim Preview page will now display standings predictions during the preseason, as well as key roster changes.
• Miscellaneous fixes and enhancements I've forgotten about...

There is a data conversion required.

--------------------------------------------------------------

I'm having enough fun with this I thought I'd share. Here's part of what's in beta testing for patch 2.2.0:

[Carlos]

Yes! Love the secondary stat conditions. This will make the epic write up I have planned even more in-depth.

Matt, it's coming. I can't begin to even work on it till the summer at the earliest. But it will be glorious.

[Jistic]

I got wood.

[Jake]

Holy shit.

And aren't we going to lose our current chat room when we change servers anyways?

That thing is a beast. Any chance we have that for this year's draft?

[Ryan]

Looks really nice!

I like that Jim Hendry's OOTP likeness will not let a little thing like the draft stop him from crashing the buffet. Nice choice, Jim.

[Spectre]

Swept a pair of two game series with Hyundai and Los Lunas and then took 2/3 from Denver

After that awful first sim, we've been playing exactly like how I envisioned. Good starting pitching, timely hitting, and a dominant bullpen.

Nice catch.
