Maybe I'd have a better time of it if you got my loving lineup right.

What my lineup actually is posted:

Lineup vs Both w/DH
1) 2B Izturis

3) RF Guerrero
4) CF Mantle

8) SS Ripken
9) LF Woodling

Mantle at DH? Horn at 1B? :what:

While being in fourth place is not a good place to be, it most likely will get better as the season goes on. With as many players underperforming as bad as they have so far, We should get on a nice roll when they start getting better.

Well, Chippy is already my favourite character!


Savouring this, as it may be the only update I'm in first/above .500/with hope of survival. Still, there are changes to be made.

Bring up Chipper, replacing Pendleton.

New line-up:

2B Ray Durham
CF Al Oliver
3B Home Run Baker
1B Frank Thomas
LF David Justice (against RHP)/Oscar Gamble (against LHP)
RF Oscar Gamble (against RHP)/Magglio Ordóñez (against LHP)
SS Roger Peckinpaugh
C Jim Sundberg
<pitcher>

If the DHs stay: Thomas to DH, McGriff to 1B batting fifth.

Pitching stays as is, and will continue to do so until Greg Maddux's arm falls off.

As well as Peckinpaugh has started, I don't foresee it being sustainable, so I'm still looking for an SS, but it's not quite the priority it was.

Edit: Roster post updated here.

Cthulhu accepted already, but I'm a big Lance Parrish fan. Also, if you want to do me a solid and swap shortstops, I'd be happy to work something out:

Luna Landers offer:
1984 Cal Ripken (he'd autoheal for you because of the trade)
1946 Bob Feller
1946 Sherm Lollar (so you won't be shorthanded at catcher)

Portland Bulldogs offer:
1984 Alan Trammell (to replace injured Ripken)
1984 Lance Parrish
Whichever of your starting pitchers you were planning to replace, so I won't be shorthanded at pitcher (Derringer or Walters?)
Should we both survive, you send me 1996 Scott Brosius between seasons as a player to be named later, because Feller's better than Parrish.

Why are you doing this? Ripken is only out 19 days, and you already have a bunch of players than can handle shortstop in the interim.

And you just traded for a catcher, which doesn't exactly make this the most sensible time to trade for another one.

And Feller is much, much better than Derringer and Walters.

And Brosius is useless in the Super-LEague.

I guess I'm just confused.

EDIT: All right, Smasher has convinced me that trading Bob Feller is... let me make sure I'm getting this quote right... "loving stupid, what the hell is wrong with you, I should relegate your team just for making that offer."

Figured as soon as I saw Smasher's post the deal was going to be cancelled. You can make a bid for Trammell if you want but I will admit that I doubt I will be willing to part with him too easily.

Good news! Thanks to Cthulhu making a script that automates the update process, I've decided to cancel the Expansion Gauntlet and just expand the Super-League.

And on that note, here is the Expansion Cup Version!

Okay, I promised SmasherDynamo I'd make a tool that automates the process of creating a SuperLeague post and.. well, it's mostly done. I'll try and close the gap, but it's pretty good and definitely usable now.

A) Captures Overview, Pitching and Lineup screens for all teams in the league

B) Feeds all the images into Rightload so they can be uploaded to Lpix, enabling one click uploading

C) When you've finished uploading it lets you copy a skeleton post for use on SA.

Installation Instructions

  • Install AutohotKey from here: http://www.autohotkey.com/
  • Install IRFanView from here: http://www.irfanview.com/
  • Install Rightload from here: http://rightload.org/
  • Install the Lpix Plugin for Rightload from here: http://lpix.org/rightload_v1.4.2.rar

    You'll have to configure rightload on your own, but it's pretty simple. The script expects all programs to be installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\ but that's no big thing to fix if you do something else.

  • Go here and get a copy of the script http://pastebin.com/RzQiSz62 <-- this version is for 20 teams for 1366 x 768 mintors
  • This is for 1280 x 1024 http://pastebin.com/8bNPw3pX
  • Create a file on your computer where ever you'd like called Whateveryouwant.ahk
  • Paste the stuff from the pastebin into the script file
  • Create a folder c:\SuperLeagueBanners\
  • Put all the team banners in that directory. Banners must be named Team1-ABanner.png, Team2-ABanner.png, Team3-ABanner.png
  • The order of team numbers 1, 2, 3 is based on the order in which they are displayed in BM. Numbering starts in the top left, goes down the left column and then goes to the right column


Note: The script will save each update to C:\SuperLeagueUpdate and overwrite any files there. BACK UP EACH UPDATE!

Usage Instructions

To use:
  • Set your sreen res to 1366 x 768 like smasher's lovely computer
  • Open Baseball Mogul 2013.
  • Select the top left team on the team select menu
  • Close as many windows as possible!
  • Particularly your web browser.
  • Make sure rightload is closed to
  • Run the script
  • While the script is running DO NOT touch your mouse or keyboard
  • When the script has finished running, rightload will popup.
  • Use the plugin configuration menu to chose a new gallery to upload to. If you don't do this it will delete your last update. SO BACK UP EVERY UPDATE
  • Press the upload button and go make a cup of coffee
  • When that's done, press the copy to clipboard button

At the end, you'll have a complete post with all the images in it on your clipboard. Paste this into an SA forum window, ad you just need to add your text, and you're done.

Grab me on IRC to discuss, troubleshot and generally debug. I am sure there will be problems. I can also work on adding some features or whatever to help your workload.

Edit: Here is a sample of output

code:
